<![CDATA[The growing urgency of environmental challenges and rapid digital transformation has encouraged governments to rethink conventional governance models. This study examines the concept and implementation of smart green government within the framework of technology based governance. Adopting a qualitative research approach with a descriptive analytical design, the study explores how digital technologies are integrated with green government principles to support environmentally sustainable public administration. Data were collected through in depth interviews with key policy actors and complemented by document analysis and limited observation of digital governance practices. The findings reveal that smart green government is primarily understood as an integrative approach that combines digital innovation with environmental sustainability objectives. However, its implementation remains uneven and largely implicit, as digital governance initiatives tend to prioritize administrative efficiency and service delivery over environmental outcomes. Institutional capacity, leadership commitment, inter agency coordination, and policy coherence emerge as critical factors shaping implementation effectiveness. The study also identifies key challenges, including fragmented governance structures, limited resources, and the environmental footprint of digital infrastructure. Despite these constraints, significant opportunities exist to advance smart green government through integrated digital platforms, data-driven environmental monitoring, and capacity building. This study contributes to public administration literature by offering a holistic governance perspective that bridges digital transformation and environmental sustainability, while providing policy-relevant insights for governments pursuing sustainable governance reforms.]]>
