“…For example, UAVs can be used to monitor air quality and identify sources of pollution, which can be used to develop strategies to reduce emissions and improve air quality [174]. UAVs can monitor changes in land use over time, including the expansion of urban areas into rural areas, deforestation, and other land-use changes [175][176][177]. This information can inform urban planning decisions, such as where to locate new infrastructure to minimize the environmental impact.…”

The rapid growth of urban populations and the need for sustainable urban planning and development has made Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) a valuable tool for data collection, mapping, and monitoring. This article reviews the applications of UAV technology in sustainable urban development, particularly in Malaysia. It explores the potential of UAVs to transform infrastructure projects and enhance urban systems, underscoring the importance of advanced applications in Southeast Asia and developing nations worldwide. Following the PRISMA 2020 statement, this article adopts a systematic review process and identifies 98 relevant studies out of 591 records, specifically examining the use of UAVs in urban planning. The emergence of the UAV-as-a-service sector has led to specialized companies offering UAV operations for site inspections, 3D modeling of structures and terrain, boundary assessment, area estimation, master plan formulation, green space analysis, environmental monitoring, and archaeological monument mapping. UAVs have proven to be versatile tools with applications across multiple fields, including precision agriculture, forestry, construction, surveying, disaster response, security, and education. They offer advantages such as high-resolution imagery, accessibility, and operational safety. Varying policies and regulations concerning UAV usage across countries present challenges for commercial and research UAVs. In Malaysia, UAVs have become essential in addressing challenges associated with urbanization, including traffic congestion, urban sprawl, pollution, and inadequate social facilities. However, several obstacles need to be overcome before UAVs can be effectively deployed, including regulatory barriers, limited flight time and range, restricted awareness, lack of skilled personnel, and concerns regarding security and privacy. Successful implementation requires coordination among public bodies, industry stakeholders, and the public. Future research in Malaysia should prioritize 3D modeling and building identification, using the results of this study to propel advancements in other ASEAN countries.

“…Electric UAVs are widely used in urban emergency rescue operations. In 2015, Malaysia suffered severe flooding and the country's government used electric UAVs to accurately locate shelters and deliver relief supplies after the disaster [7]. In 2020, Norway experienced the largest landslide in the country's history, with a collapsed area of approximately 2 km 2 and simultaneous low temperatures and gusty winds.…”

Sudden disasters often result in significant losses of human lives and property, and emergency rescue is a necessary response to disasters. In recent years, with the development of electric unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and artificial intelligence technology, the combination of these technologies has been gradually applied to emergency rescue missions. However, in the face of the complex working conditions of emergency rescue missions, the application of electric UAV visual detection still faces great challenges, particularly in relation to a lack of GPS positioning signal in closed emergency rescue environments, as well as unforeseen obstacle avoidance and autonomous planning and searching flights. Although the combination of visual detection and visual navigation technology shows great potential and added value for use in the context of emergency rescue, at present it remains in the research and experimental stages. Consequently, this paper summarizes and discusses the current status and development of visual detection and navigation technologies for electric UAVs, as well as issues related to emergency rescue applications, with a view to accelerating the research and application of visual detection and navigation technologies for electric UAVs in emergency rescue missions. In this study, we first summarize the classification of typical disasters, analyze the application of sample UAV and configurations in typical disasters with a high frequency of occurrence, refine key electric UAV technologies in emergency rescue missions, and propose the value of exploring electric UAV visual detection and navigation technologies. Subsequently, current research on electric UAV visual detection and navigation technology is analyzed and its application in emergency rescue missions is discussed. Finally, this paper presents the problems faced in the application of electric UAV visual detection and navigation technology in urban emergency rescue environments and offers insights into future research directions.
