“…To successfully engage user communities in the firm's innovation processes, these have to evolve from linear processes (that have the consumers as the endpoint) and truly integrate the users along the process, creating space for interaction and exchange of ideas and feedback from the users (Prause & Thurner, 2014;Roman & Fellnhofer, 2022). To do this, the firm's innovation processes need to be a cooperative process, where the communities actively participate in the production, development, design, and/or marketing of the products/services (Guo et al, 2017;Romero & Molina, 2011;Yun & Liu, 2019).…”

“…Co-creation processes can be defined as activities and interactions in which the customers actively contribute to the design and development of new products or services involving the engagement of organizations (Durugbo & Pawar, 2014;Ramaswamy & Ozcan, 2014;Romero & Molina, 2011). In these interactions, the customer is no longer a mere buyer but a user able to provide valuable knowledge, which is then incorporated by firms and organizations in their innovation processes (Grabher & Ibert, 2018;Ramaswamy & Ozcan, 2014;Roman & Fellnhofer, 2022;Yun & Liu, 2019). As a reward, the users get co-developed products/services with added value for them, as they were developed with their needs in mind (Romero & Molina, 2011).…”

“…In the non-co-creative innovation process, the users and customers assume the role of validators by providing feedback and opinions on the finalized product/service, taking a passive role outside the firm's borders (Grabher & Ibert, 2018;Roman & Fellnhofer, 2022). This process does not involve the user or customer directly in the product/service development, nor does it consider their needs and ideas, as the communication between the firm and the customer only happens at the last stage of the product/service development (Durugbo & Pawar, 2014).…”

“…The product/ service is jointly developed in a process that occurs beyond the organizational limits of the firm. Co-creation processes emerge as a way of implementing Open Innovation strategies by distributing the innovation process through different actors (Abbate et al, 2019;Roman & Fellnhofer, 2022;Roman & Nyberg, 2017).…”

With Industry 5.0 already on the horizon, firms need to adapt their strategies to better cater to an increasingly demanding and sustainability-conscious customer base. At the same time, the role of customers has shifted from being mere passive buyers to active users, who not only demand personalized products and services to suit their needs and preferences, but also actively engage other users and stakeholders, thereby grounding the Quadruple Helix model. The objective of this paper is to assess the role of user communities in fostering firms’ innovation in all types of innovation. Econometric estimations identified the user community as a driver of innovation propensity. Additionally, the relevance of these communities across all types of innovation (mainly for product and process innovation) was proven. Robustness analysis confirmed the results obtained in different dimensions and established a connection to human capital. This finding revealed that absorptive capacity serves not only as a facilitator of innovation, but also as a moderator. The empirical contributions point towards the urgency of policy actions that consistently involve these agents as vehicles of responsible innovation, which can fine-tune the innovation paths towards an eco-friendlier innovation ecosystem. Further testing the connection between human capital and the user community is required, as the establishment of efficient communication channels promoting the knowledge flows inside the firm will leverage innovation outputs in the different innovation types.

“…Ultimately, it hopes to help the government make better choices [8,9]. According to studies [10,11], everyone has a chance to weigh in on municipal planning decisions [12]. On the other hand, local governments often ask residents and other members of civil society with whom they have already collaborated for their thoughts.…”

Regional planning is a method of development planning that leverages present resources to better a public community, government, and environment in a specific area. It is essential to gather and assess regional planning research from across the globe in order to provide informed suggestions for domestic regional planning and the implementation of suitable laws. Studies on regional planning are particularly significant when given as bibliometric analyses. The purpose of this research is to discover distinct research trends in bibliometrics relevant to the topic of regional planning. Using statistics, we examine the number of articles on regional planning that have been published in the recent five years in this study. Alois Humer, who works at the University of Vienna in Austria, has a high level of scientific production as well as recognition in this subject. Researchers studying regional planning utilize the total number of papers published in each publication to classify journals into separate regions. According to Bradford's rule of document transmission, the IOP Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science is the most significant journal on this subject. Looking at the numbers, it is also clear that China has published a total of 145 articles throughout the past five years. The word "regional planning" appears 126 times in the title, which is rather remarkable. This phrase is related to the article's keywords' theme. This image incorporates the terms "China," "Indonesia," "Germany," and "Nigeria," implying that the bulk of research on "regional planning" themes is conducted in these four nations.
