BLOCKCHAIN INTEGRATION IN SMART CITIES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Main Article Content
Abstract
We discuss blockchain technology and its expected impact on smart cities in this paper. A significant development in technology, blockchain is made up of a number of core standards and technologies. We especially look at the question of how blockchain technology could contribute to urban growth. We developed our conceptual framework and research ideas after carefully reviewing the literature. The process of smarting cities has determined Fourteen application areas for blockchain technology: (1) Smart electronic voting; (2) Smart healthcare; (3) Smart home; (4) Smart property management; (5) Smart transportation; (6) Smart Logistics and Supply Chains; (7) Smart Education; (8) Smart Factory, (9) Smart Mobility, (10) Smart grid, (11) Intelligent Traffic Systems, (12) Smart agriculture, (13) Energy Consumption Tracking and (14) Carbon Footprint Tracking. We look at recent developments in several fields, highlight the importance of blockchain technology and make recommendations for future research directions.
