Analyzing Smart Cities Governance Publications Using CiteSpace: Integration of Organizational Strategy and Human Resources for Sustainable Urban Development

This study aims to investigate the dominant themes in publications related to smart cities governance and the integration of organizational strategies and human resources for sustainable urban development. The study employs bibliometric analysis using CiteSpace software to collect articles related to Smart Cities Governance and sustainable urban development from the Scopus database. The data collected is processed using CiteSpace software to generate visualizations and analyze research trends and topic development in the field of Smart Cities Governance. The results of the study identified 10 clusters, with the largest cluster being “underground space,” with 55 members and a silhouette value of 0.837 by LLR, smart cities by LSI, and knowledge management (3.09) by MI. The analysis showed that the use of underground space can be a solution to overcome the land constraints faced by large cities, as discussed in Goel, RK’s work, which is the most cited article in this cluster. The most cited nodes in this cluster are “smart city,” “sustainable development,” and “urban development,” indicating that sustainable Smart Cities development is a significant concern in research related to this cluster. The network analysis formed in the research clusters can provide useful information for experts and decision-makers in developing sustainable smart cities by considering the use of underground space as a solution to overcome land constraints. These findings are expected to guide experts and decision-makers in considering the use of underground space as one of the options in developing sustainable smart cities and overcoming the land constraints faced by large cities.
