Characteristics of Conceptually Related Smart Cities (CRSCs) Services from the Perspective of Sustainability

Abstract

A smart city has developed gradually with the evolution of services and ICT technologies to achieve sustainability. Many academic and governmental documents reference this; however, there is no existing theoretical or empirical study on the characteristics of smart city services regarding sustainability. In this sense, this study aims to clarify characteristics of Conceptually Related Smart Cities (CRSCs) services from sustainability. The methodologies adopt a matrix taxonomy to sort the previous indicators in the first step. It also utilizes a keyword analysis based on a literature review to identify the characteristics of two concepts. Three outcomes result from the steps of theoretical structures. Firstly, this study develops SSC service indicators based on the synthesis of Sustainable Smart City (SSC) and Smart City and sustainable city. The second outcome is an identification of the relation between SSC services and Conceptually Related Smart Cities. Lastly, the study clarifies the significance of citizen engagement based on the evolutionary concept by typifying service development in the lens of sustainability in CRSCs. This study is worthwhile for understanding smart city services and managing different featured smart cities from a sustainability perspective.

Exploring Smart City Characteristics for “Tourism-for-All” Initiatives in Urban Development: A Systematic Literature Review

“…Characteristics of conceptually related smart cities services from the perspective of sustainability. (Kim and Yang, 2021)…”

“…According to the author, using technology in the city allows for more effective and efficient city management while also providing well-being to the urban population. Nevertheless, challenges in maintaining the safety and security of the ICT and its capability (Chatterjee et al, 2017;Moustaka et al, 2019;Sepasgozar et al, 2019;Kim and Yang, 2021) to meet citizen expectations require continuous efforts by the government and related smart city development agencies. Thus, in order to fulfil the "Tourism-For-All" implementation, the authorities and agencies have to strategize the ICT structure to meet the expectations of people with special needs.…”

Smart Services in Smart Cities: Insights from Science Mapping Analysis

“…The research attempts to operationalize the link between smart-city services and sustainability by developing an index to assess smart-city characteristics from the sustainability perspective, with the emphasize on the quality of citizens' lives, efficient management of urban utilities and services' functions [70]. The progress of the research on conceptualizing smart-city services has led to development of more fine-grained typologies, e.g., those based on data-protection dimensions, enabling the clustering of services based on data-protection needs.…”
