Green information systems are often praised for their potential to foster sustainability in citizens’ daily lives and meet their needs. With this focus on citizens, districts that use smart technologies provide a litmus test, the results of which will indicate how to design smart green information systems that better meet the needs and desires of citizens. To date, however, guidelines on how to design such green information systems in urban areas or actively involve citizens in this process are few and far between. In recognition and remedy of this shortage, the study draws on the design science research paradigm to develop seven design principles for citizen-centric green information systems that can be used in sustainable smart districts. These principles are evaluated in 15 semi-structured interviews and a prototype of a mobile district app for a citizen-centric green information system is instantiated. By taking this citizen-centric perspective, the paper fosters the active involvement of humans in the design of sustainable urban environments.

绿色信息系统因其促进公民日常生活的可持续性并满足他们的需求的潜力而经常受到赞扬。由于以公民为中心，使用智能技术的地区提供了一个试金石，其结果将表明如何设计更好地满足公民的需求和愿望的智能绿色信息系统。然而，迄今为止，关于如何在城市地区设计此类绿色信息系统或如何让公民积极参与这一过程的指南还很少。为了认识到并弥补这一不足，该研究借鉴了设计科学研究范式，为可用于可持续智能区域的以公民为中心的绿色信息系统制定了七项设计原则。这些原则通过 15 次半结构化访谈进行评估，并实例化了用于以公民为中心的绿色信息系统的移动地区应用程序原型。通过这种以公民为中心的视角，本文促进人类积极参与可持续城市环境的设计。
