One of the critical issues in housing is to develop and adopt effective strategies for enhancing a ″sense of community″ among residents, eventually revitalizing contemporary housing complex communities. Based on the assumption that the characteristics of contemporary communities might differ from those of traditional communities, this research aims to reinterpret strategies for the activation of communities in a current context. By incorporating a ″smart paradigm″, this paper introduces the concept of the smart community and considers the potential of mobile augmented reality as a strategy for activating communities. Mobile augmented reality is expected to extend people′s interactions within the virtual world, combining with social networks to enable sustainable relationships among housing complex residents and producing collective intelligence that will contribute to a new type of community. This research conducted a questionnaire survey to investigate the conditions in current communities, residents′ perceptions and demands on a smart community. Based on the results of the survey, persona scenarios were developed and a smart community model was then constructed by proposing applicable technologies and services extracted from the persona scenarios.
