“…ICT and cloud computing [13,23,30,47] have the ability to use IoT technologies [19,28,46,48] and Big Data [24,28,49] to generate, process, analyze, and exploit urban data. In this way, it is easier to make decisions that accurately address the problems [25,45,50], issues, and challenges related to sustainability [51][52][53] and urbanization [15,16,54].…”

“…Moreover, with regard to the management and operational aspects, a city is smart if it is managed in an intelligent, efficient, and sustainable way [26,42]. Furthermore, smart cities balance the needs of citizens' economic well-being and their quality of life [51,74]. The theme of sustainability is repeated, but it is linked to the dynamics categorized through the participation of citizens, companies, and organizations [18,75].…”

Big Data, the Internet of Things, and robotic and augmented realities are just some of the technologies that belong to Industry 4.0. These technologies improve working conditions and increase productivity and the quality of industry production. However, they can also improve life and society as a whole. A new perspective is oriented towards social well-being and it is called Society 5.0. Industry 4.0 supports the transition to the new society, but other drivers are also needed. To guide the transition, it is necessary to identify the enabling factors that integrate Industry 4.0. A conceptual framework was developed in which these factors were identified through a literature review and the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) methodology. Furthermore, the way in which they relate was evaluated with the help of the interpretive structural modeling (ISM) methodology. The proposed framework fills a research gap, which has not yet consolidated a strategy that includes all aspects of Society 5.0. As a result, the main driver, in addition to technology, is international politics.

“…To improve conditions on university campuses, other universities in Spain have taken some first steps in this regard, such as the University of Zaragoza [28], which has a spatial and geographic information system on the campus that allows consulting the inventory of facilities and classrooms available at all times, or the University of Alicante [29], which has a management system for the mobility of vehicles that come to the campus and monitor the use of the car parks.…”

Smart Tree: An Architectural, Greening and ICT Multidisciplinary Approach to Smart Campus Environments

At present, climate change, pollution, and uncontrolled urbanism threaten not only natural ecosystems, but also the urban environment. Approaches to mitigate these challenges and able to provide an alternative for the use of the space are deemed to be multidisciplinary, combining architecture, vegetation integration, circular economy and information and communications technologies (ICT). University campuses are a key scenario to evaluate such solutions as their student and research community is intrinsically willing to support these experiences and provide a wide knowledge on the fields necessary for their design and implementation. However, the creation of areas combining usability and sustainability is commonly lacking a multidisciplinary approach combining all these different perspectives. Hence, the present work aims to overcome this limitation by the development of a novel integrated approach for campus spaces for co-working and leisure, namely a “Smart Tree”, where novel architecture, furniture design, flora integration, environmental sensoring and communications join together. To this end, a survey of the literature is provided, covering related approaches as well as general principles behind them. From this, the general requirements and constraints for the development of the Smart Tree area are identified, establishing the main interactions between the architecture, greening and ICT perspectives. Such requirements guide the proposed system design and implementation, whose impact on the environment is analyzed. Finally, the research challenges and lessons learned for their development are identified in order to support future works.

“…Rico-Bautista et al, 2020). A smart university/campus applies smart technologies to improve services, decision making, and campus sustainability (Maciá Pérez et al, 2021;Min-Allah & Alrashed, 2020). The use of advanced network infrastructure and internet-connected devices can provide supportive and engaging experiences for students and staff.…”

This study aims to analyze existing research regarding sustainable smart universities via internet of things and big data. Document analysis was conducted using 1,737 research documents relevant to the domain of smart university, smart campus, sustainable university, internet of things, and big data from international databases including Scopus, IEEE, Web of Science and ERIC. The matrix analysis method was used to identify the relevant publications produced 158 items and six cluster themes and proposed conceptual frameworks illustrating elements necessary for a sustainable smart university via internet of things and big data. The illustrated networks demonstrated that a smart campus involves a technology of internet of things and big data. The targets for a smart campus/smart university includes resource management, security management and the provision of a digital service to students and staff. By linking a smart campus with sustainability, the network models show that some research focus on applying smart technologies to improve the sustainability of a campus by concentrating on natural resource management and environmental care.
