Smart environment in a smart city is the changes of a city and shape the pure environment with the element to achieve a human settlement. This change is achieved by extensive and persuasive infrastructure and building which give a big impact on the environment. However, the lack of a smart environment regulatory framework was increasing the level of difficulties for the implementation of smart environmental practices. The objectives of the study were to identify the smart environment concept for a smart city and examine the elements of the smart environment in Pengerang. The study was conducted by using a mixed method. The data was collected by using questionnaires, document reviews and observations. The results showed that the quality of life, facilities and automated system element recorded mean score at a high level. Besides that, the element of quality of life recorded the highest average mean score with 4.48 rather than the other four elements, facilities, awareness, safety and automated system. The implications of this study show that the implementation needs deep planning by local authorities and government to realize the changes toward a smart environment.
