| Abstract |
Smart cities have become an influential concept in urban development. Smart cities and their ap-plications aim to maintain a high quality of life by using smart technologies and enhancing eco-nomic productivity. Previous systematic literature reviews have considered the development of smart cities and highlighted their applications and services. However, no prior studies have com-prehensively investigated smart cities in relation to emergencies. To this end, the current paper aims to provide a research agenda reviewing the relevant literature that touches on smart tech-nologies during emergencies like the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Based on a systematic methodology centred on text mining analysis, our research identified the following three themes: (a) emergency response, which covers emergency management, traffic and unmanned aerial ve-hicles, waste disposal, and contact tracing; (b) motivation and outcome, which includes such sub -themes as smart urbanism, quality of life and the economy; and (c) technology and data, which covers social media, machine learning, Internet of Things, data-driven applications, and object detection. We comprehensively discuss each theme and offer suggestions for future research. |
