“…Particularly, this has taken the form of promoting eGov (citizen centricity in e-government) that has been upheld in Europe since the mid-2000s [1] and is rooted in the perspective of "citizens as customers" under the new public management [2]. Based on this influence, apart from technological needs or smart cities, in recent years, city administrators have shifted their focus to co-creating smart cities with their citizens [3][4][5][6].…”

Social Inclusion Indicators for Building Citizen-Centric Smart Cities: A Systematic Literature Review

Despite the rhetoric of “citizen-first,” which has been tokenized in recent years by the smart city administrations, what it means has long been unclear to many, including the public at large. Put simply, this rhetoric concerns the mindset of the members of a local community and places them at the heart of the smart city initiatives. In order to bring further clarity to this issue under the current neoliberal urbanism, this study aimed to identify the key indicators of citizen-centric smart cities from the perspective of participative governance practices and citizens’ responsibilities. To achieve this aim, this study involved a systematic literature review of the social inclusion indicators for building citizen-centric smart cities. The social inclusion indicators that were formed were verified by practitioners to suit the local contexts of an emerging and developing country, in this case, Malaysia. The findings of the review revealed that: (a) the acceptance of social inclusion indicators was mainly limited to the realm of democratic developed countries, leaders’ understanding of citizenship, the delegation of decision-making power in governance practices, the participative culture of societies, and individual citizens’ self-discipline; (b) the social inclusion indicators may not be welcomed in emerging and developing countries; (c) in the long term, these indicators would shed light on the rise of self-organizing cities that will gain popularity in potential city developments, be it in developed or developing countries.

“…These new and appropriate technologies can provide useful information that aids in reducing the water crisis [6], [11]. WSNs have a wide range of applications, including industrial [21], [22] smart cities [23], [24], traffic control [25], [26], healthcare [27], [28], agriculture [29], [30], and environmental monitoring [31], [32]. Self-powered WSNs deployed in remote areas and that provide data in a near real-time manner can potentially revolutionize groundwater table management.…”

The rapid expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and applications has accelerated research in various areas of human development. However, the cost of commercial instrumentation impedes the momentum of technological growth in developing regions. In this study, a low-cost, low-power, wireless sensor network for groundwater monitoring (LWNGM) was developed to provide near real-time groundwater level data to support prudent decision making in groundwater resource management in Zanzibar, Tanzania. To facilitate reproducibility, we provided a detailed description of the LWNGM development procedure. The system is based on the ATmega328P microcontroller platform and incorporates low-cost MS5803-14BA and MB280 sensors. To provide a low-power scheme, the Arduino UNO wakes up in six-hour intervals for measurements and data-logging to the SD card, and at twelve-hour intervals for relaying data (in batches) to the LoRa gateway, before it goes back into a deep-sleep mode for the rest of the time (duty cycle<1% ). The average power consumption for the end node across all system cycles was 104.081mW. The power autonomy of all nodes is provided by a 3.7V, 5000mAh rechargeable LiPo battery, and a 9V, 600mAh rechargeable Liion battery, respectively, which are supported by 6V and, 3W solar chargers. The data processing and storage components, as well as the data visualization dashboard, were created using free and open-source software. The LWNGM was reasonably priced, ranging between $350 and $400. The proposed system allows for the adoption of hydrological monitoring, particularly in areas with a limited budget for hydrologic management.

“…Even with extensive application and research, in-depth comprehension of SCs is scarce in the current literature. Existing research has focused on smart city infrastructure rather than understanding SCs (Hoogen et al, 2020). The definition and attributes of a SC have no unanimity inside the scientific community, which necessitates further investigation and explanation (Jose et al, 2021;Appio et al, 2019).…”

PurposeThis study aims to uncover and develop explicit knowledge of existing smart communities (SCs) to guide services and business solutions for enterprises and serve community users in a well-thought-out manner. These sagacious frameworks will assist in analyzing trends and reaching out to pre-existing setups with different degrees of expertise.Design/methodology/approachA systematic overview is provided in this paper to unify insights and competencies toward building SCs; a hybrid analytical approach is used consisting of machine learning and bibliometric analysis. Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) are the primary databases for this purpose.FindingsSCs implement cutting-edge technologies to enhance mobility, elevating information and communication technology (ICT) skills and data awareness while improving business processes and efficiency. This system of SC is an evolution of the conventional method. It provides a foundation for intelligent community services based on individual users and technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, cloud computing and big data. Manufacturing-based, service-based, retail-based, resource management and infrastructure-based SCs exist in the literature.Originality/valueThe paper summarizes a conceptual framework of SCs based on existing works around SCs. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first systematic literature review that uses a hybrid approach of topic modeling and bibliometric analysis to understand SCs better.
