| Abstract |
This paper provides a thorough review of publications on smart city from 2000 to 2015 aiming at clarifying the concept. Grounded theory principles are used to systematize and understand the different meanings arising from initiatives in the area. Results have shown that smart city settings in the analyzed period allow the expansion of knowledge on the subject and a better understanding of the concept in its semantic and structural dimensions from the use of coding techniques. The concept of smart city has evolved from an initial emphasis on the technological aspect to a current approach, more focused on human, social aspects and participatory governance aiming at sustainability and quality of life. There have also been efforts to define the theoretical core of the smart city phenomenon due to the prevalence of qualitative and exploratory studies in the period and in recent publications with insufficient definitions to the concept. |
