*3.3. Questionnaire Design*

Through a structured questionnaire, a survey strategy of enquiry was conducted. Three sections were used in the questionnaire to obtain information from the respondents. Section one was designed to determine the respondent's background. Section two focused on their understanding, while section three focused on their acceptance of the MSCF's domains. The questionnaire adopted a closed-ended design. The respondents were asked to rate the 90 variables based on their level of significance using a five-point Likert scale, with five being Strongly Agree and one being Strongly Disagree. For the details of the survey items, see Appendix A. Aghimien et al. [14] adopted a similar approach in their study that evaluated the challenges facing smart cities.
