By combining the building of smart cities with the needs of city residents to be healthy, it paves the way for how local communities will use digital technology to enhance their sporting activities. This research will look at the core competencies of digital governance relating to local community sport through the collaborative framework. A comprehensive analysis framework was created that included the follow aspects: collaborative mechanisms, the functions of a platform, sharing of data, the degree of resident literacy, and ways to evaluate what has been done to improve local sporting services through digital governance. In addition, an integrated path for enhancement was created via the establishment of governance communities, constructing smart platforms, linking data, raising literacy levels among residents, and creating an evidence-based optimisation path for maximising the amount of public sports services and enhancing community living through maximizing the effectiveness of digital governance.
