“…Moreover, additional papers concerning smart energy were not included beyond the first three databases given the extensive real-world application and development of DLT in the energy industry; it was felt this area was sufficiently covered by the initial search for this review and further analysis of the category would detract from the core aims of this study.

Identifies recent challenges facing the construction industry and recognises current attempts of exploring distributed ledger technology (DTL) as part of the solution to some of these challenges.  Performs a systematic review of DLT uses in the built environment and construction industry and identifies seven distinct areas of applications.  Introduces an extended socio-technical framework for implementation of DLT into the construction industry including two conceptual models: the DLT Four-Dimensional Model, and the DLT Actors Model.  Compiles an extensive list of challenges and opportunities presented by DLT across the four dimensions (technical, process, policy, social) to offer a state-of-the-art review of its current state.  Presents a decision support tool to appraise the suitability of use cases for DLT applications and demonstrates it with three use cases.

“…Use cases found in natural environment include air quality monitoring, sand resources management and carbon credit trading. Reference [215] proposes a blockchain-based system that encourages the constructive involvement of urban citizens in monitoring environment quality to promote a greater awareness of city health. Reference [216] suggests that sand should be treated as a key resource on a par with clean air, biodiversity, and other natural endowments.…”

Blockchain for Cities—A Systematic Literature Review

Blockchain is considered one of the most disruptive technologies of our time. Numerous cities around the world are launching blockchain initiatives as part of the overall efforts toward shaping the urban future. However, the infancy stage of the blockchain industry leads to a severe gap between the knowledge we have and the actions urban policy makers are taking. This paper is an effort to narrow this rift. We provide a systematic literature review on concrete blockchain use cases proposed by the research community. At the macro-level, we discuss and organize use cases from 159 selected papers into nine sectors recognized as crucial for sustainable and smart urban future. At the micro-level, we identify a component-based framework and analyze the design and prototypes of blockchain systems studied in a subset of 71 papers. The high-level use case review allows us to illustrate the relationship between them and the four pillars of urban sustainability: social, economic, environmental, and governmental. The system level analysis helps us highlight interesting inconsistencies between well-known blockchain applicability decision rules and the approaches taken by the literature. We also offer two classification methodologies for blockchain use cases and elaborate on how they can be applied to stimulate cross-sector insights in the blockchain knowledge domain.INDEX TERMS Bitcoin, blockchain, computer networks, consensus, crypto token, distributed computing, Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, systematic literature review, smart city, smart contract, system analysis and design, peer-to-peer computing, urban sustainability, use case.

“…The currently wide-ranging explorations of urban blockchain applications [48] include monitoring environmental sensor data through immutable smart contract logic [25]; integrating a secure infrastructure in the smart city [4]; and using a transparent distributed ledger to offer financial incentive models to urban cyclists [27]. Some of these systems are centralised, while others [22] offer a way for community groups to develop peer-to-peer platform cooperativism [45].…”

Design and HCI researchers are increasingly working with complex digital infrastructures, such as cryptocurrencies, distributed ledgers and smart contracts. These technologies will have a profound impact on digital systems and their audiences. However, given their emergent nature and technical complexity, involving non-specialists in the design of applications that employ these technologies is challenging. In this paper, we discuss these challenges and present GeoCoin, a location-based platform for embodied learning and speculative ideating with smart contracts. In collaborative workshops with GeoCoin, participants engaged with location-based smart contracts, using the platform to explore digital 'debit' and 'credit' zones in the city. These exercises led to the design of diverse distributed-ledger applications, for time-limited financial unions, participatory budgeting, and humanitarian aid. These results contribute to the HCI community by demonstrating how an experiential prototype can support understanding of the complexities behind new digital infrastructures and facilitate participant engagement in ideation and design processes.
