Abstract

Objectives: The information epidemic caused by COVID-19 in 2019 makes it difficult to find accurate sources or reliable guidance when people need information. During the outbreak of an epidemic, citizens' information literacy level not only affects people's access to relevant information, but also affects how people take timely and appropriate actions after obtaining the correct information. Therefore, it is of great significance to analyze the impact of citizens' information acquisition ability, information evaluation and utilization and information ethics on urban public health emergencies, and to realize the people-oriented core concept of smart city and improve the construction effect of smart city. Methods: Based on the evaluation standard of information literacy for smart city, this paper constructs a structural equation model of citizens' information literacy and smart city for empirical analysis. Results: The results show that there is a significant positive correlation between citizens' information literacy and smart city construction. Conclusions: Improving citizens' information literacy level can effectively promote the development of smart city construction.
