This repository hosts the one-to-one interviews of key stakeholders collected in Taipei, Tel Aviv and Tallinn, three cities which are the three case studies of my PhD research on Stakeholder Engagement in Smart-City. It has been collected by in-person meetings or through video calls. I aim to use these files to make some semantic analysis, word clustering, by using text mining tools. I am sharing these datasets in order to offer some possibilities of collaboration around my research. You can read more explanation on the underlying internet-based research methodology I'm using here : https://bit.ly/32liwLe
