Abstract

The notion of smart city has grown popular over the past few years. It embraces several dimensions depending on the meaning of the word “smart” and benefits from innovative applications of new kinds of information and communications technology to support communal sharing. By relying on prior literature, this paper proposes a conceptual framework with three dimensions: (1) human, (2) technology, and (3) organization, and explores a set of fundamental factors that make a city smart from a sharing economy perspective. Using this triangle framework, we discuss what emerging blockchain technology may contribute to these factors and how its elements can help smart cities develop sharing services. This study discusses how blockchain-based sharing services can contribute to smart cities based on a conceptual framework. We hope it can stimulate interest in theory and practice to foster discussions in this area.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Privacy aspects are usually ignored by recent proposals regarding the integration of blockchain for smart cities.

    “while privacy aspects need to be addressed, they are usually ignored by recent proposals, as demonstrated by recent works regarding the integration of blockchain for smart cities [161], [162].”

    From Privacy-Preserving Solutions for Blockchain: Review and Challenges (2019) · cites this paper as [162]

    In “Blockchain-based sharing services: Toward smart cities” (page unavailable), the cited paper explicitly makes privacy part of its proposed approach, discussing anonymity, private data and confidentiality. It therefore does not demonstrate that privacy is ignored by blockchain-for-smart-cities proposals; this cited work addresses it. (LLM, conf=0.87)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

  • It took 7-8 years for the joint usage of blockchain and smart city in a research paper, authored by Sun et al. (2016).

    “Our research reveals it took 7–8 years for the joint usage of blockchain and smart city in a research paper authored by Sun et al. (2016), who studied the contribution of blockchain technology in supporting the development of shared services in smart cities.”

    From Blockchain technology in the smart city: A bibliometric review (2022) · cites this paper as Sun et al. (2016)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
