Abstract

Purpose

Against the background of the I50 paradigm, this paper queries in what ways blockchain and blockchain-based applications deployed in the smart city context facilitate the integration of the I50 paradigm in smart urban contexts.

Design/methodology/approach

A mixed methods approach is applied. First, by means of desk research and thematic literature review, a conceptual model integrating the I50 paradigm, smart city and blockchain-based solutions is built. Second, science mapping bibliometric analysis (SciMat) based on keywords’ co-occurrence is applied to a sample of 491 research articles to identify key domains of blockchain-based applications’ use in smart city. Third, a semi-systematic literature review complements insights gained through SciMat. Fourth, the findings are interpreted through the precepts of the conceptual model devised earlier.

Findings

The key blockchain-based applications in smart cities pertain to two domains, i.e. the foundational, service facilitation-oriented domain, including security (and safety), networks, computing, resource management and the service delivery-oriented domain, including mobility, energy and healthcare. Blockchain serves as the key building block for applications developed to deliver functions specific to each of the thus identified domains. A substantial layering of blockchain-based tools and applications is necessary to advance from the less to the more complex functional domains of the smart city.

Originality/value

At the conceptual level, the intricacies of the (making of the) I50 paradigm are discussed and a case for I50 – smart city – blockchain nexus is made. Easton’s input–output model as well as constructivism is referenced. At the empirical level, the key major domains of blockchain-based applications are discussed; those that bear the prospect of integrating the I50 paradigm in the smart city are highlighted. At the methodological level, a strategic move is made aimed at restoring the literature review’s role as subservient to the key line of exploration, to justify and ultimately support it, rather than to showcase the literature review as the ultimate purpose for itself.

工业 5.0(I50)范式、基于区块链的应用和智慧城市
目的在 I50 范式的背景下,本文询问在智慧城市背景下部署的区块链和基于区块链的应用在哪些方面促进了 I50 范式在智慧城市背景下的整合。首先,通过案头研究和专题文献综述,建立了一个整合 I50 范式、智慧城市和基于区块链的解决方案的概念模型。其次,对 491 篇研究文章样本进行了基于关键词共现的科学图谱文献计量分析(SciMat),以确定基于区块链的应用在智慧城市中使用的关键领域。第三,半系统文献综述补充了通过 SciMat 获得的见解。研究结果智慧城市中基于区块链的关键应用涉及两个领域,即以服务促进为导向的基础领域,包括安全(和安保)、网络、计算、资源管理;以及以服务交付为导向的领域,包括移动、能源和医疗保健。区块链是为实现上述各领域特定功能而开发的应用程序的关键构件。在概念层面,讨论了(制作)I50 范式的复杂性,并提出了 I50 - 智慧城市 - 区块链关系的案例。参考了伊斯顿的投入产出模型以及建构主义。在实证层面,讨论了基于区块链的应用的关键主要领域;强调了那些有望将 I50 范式融入智慧城市的领域。在方法论层面,提出了一项战略举措,旨在恢复文献综述的作用,使其服从于关键的探索路线,为其提供理由并最终为其提供支持,而不是将文献综述展示为其自身的最终目的。

期刊介绍: The subject of innovation is receiving increased interest both from companies because of their increased awareness of the impact of innovation in determining market success and also from the research community. Academics are increasingly beginning to place innovation as a priority area in their research agenda. This impetus has been partly fuelled by the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC) who have designated innovation as one of nine research areas in their research initiative schemes.
