This new era leverages tools like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to create automated solutions that address the complex challenges faced by modern urban centers. While smart cities grapple with interconnected issues, traditional methods often fall short. Data-driven, technology-powered solutions offer a more efficient approach. In the field of logistics, innovative warehouse solutions are emerging to address the growing complexities of the supply chain. One major challenge faced by many small businesses is inaccurate inventory knowledge, leading to inefficient warehouse management. This research proposes a cost-effective solution that utilizes Industry 4.0 technologies, specifically AI and IoT, to optimize inventory control and reorder point forecasting. This approach aims to democratize warehouse efficiency in smart cities by making it accessible to businesses of all sizes. This paves the way for a “smarter” future, upgrading warehouses with intelligent yet affordable solutions.","PeriodicalId":515368,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Smart Cities and Society","volume":" 45","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141675939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The design and operation of such Art Places are often led by the museum owners, city government and panel of experts from a top down approach, as well as funded by national governments for public benefit as part of long-term planning. The inputs from the actual users are often neglected. Public participation in Art Places/POI is often limited by individual visits and interactions. The diverse views and feedback on the design and operation of Art Places are difficult to capture accurately. In order to understand the perceptions of the users, extensive and expensive surveys and interviews need to be undertaken. Despite this, there is still a challenge of selection bias and interpretation bias. This paper explores the use of technology and big data to understand the similarities and differences between well-liked and disappointing areas of Art Places/POI in Singapore and Hong Kong. Public reviews on Art Places/POI in Singapore and Hong Kong will be examined using Natural Language Processing tools including the prevalent topic modelling method, namely Latent Dirichlet Allocation. The study revealed common strengths and weaknesses among artistic venues in Singapore and Hong Kong. “Place and experience” emerged as a common strength, while “price and content” were identified as a shared weakness. Singapore’s Art Places were distinguished by a unique strength in their “kid-friendly element,” whereas Hong Kong excelled in “food and shopping.” However, Singapore faced a unique weakness in “racial enclaves,” whereas Hong Kong’s distinctive weakness lay in “service.” These insights can aid urban planners and operators in comprehending and addressing areas of improvement highlighted by negative reviews, thereby enhancing overall performance.","PeriodicalId":515368,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Smart Cities and Society","volume":" 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141677868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An appropriate utilization of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies with particular components is needed to design a smart household replenishment system to reduce food wastage. Therefore, this systematic review is dedicated to survey papers utilizing IoT and AI tools for perishable items storage compartments, as they are always full of items that need to be monitored. This study was conducted by following the PRISMA search strategy. It examined 70 papers in chronological order starting from 2000 when LG Electronics invented the first smart refrigerator, and research on technology involvement in food storage compartments increased. This comprehensive research aims to point out the approaches, contributions, used components and limitations of the reviewed papers to develop a unified framework for a household replenishment system. The analysis resulted in 43 approaches using IoT technology, 27 using AI, and recently the use of AIoT has been trending in the past two years. This systematic review provides future directions for researchers acquired from the limitations of the reviewed papers to enhance the household replenishment system by developing and adding required features in smart food storage compartments. Further investigation into smart home appliances would lead to extensive approaches like smart shops, industries, and eventually smart cities.","PeriodicalId":515368,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Smart Cities and Society","volume":"56 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140440425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kerdvibulvech","doi":"10.3233/scs-230020","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3233/scs-230020","url":null,"abstract":"The Metaverse is experiencing widespread adoption by organizations aiming to elevate brand engagement, particularly in computer engineering’s burgeoning field focused on virtual world gamification. This trend spans various sectors, including network science, smart cities, and online games. This study aims to reveal the motivations driving the use of virtual media, providing valuable insights into diverse user preferences. Integrating this information into smart city development holds promise for enhancing responsiveness to user needs, making our dataset relevant for both governmental and private entities seeking to create virtual media platforms or smart cities tailored to user demands. This research contributes to the ongoing evolution of smart city design, aligning with user motivations and adapting to evolving trends in user behavior. The findings offer a foundation for informed decision-making, promoting a user-centric and responsive approach in developing virtual experiences within the smart city context. Our research paper focuses on investigating the motivation and necessity of virtual reality (VR) games for potential integration into smart cities. Targeting a specific demographic of 40 individuals aged 18 to 24 in the capital of Thailand, we utilized correlational research methods to explore motivations and needs for VR games. Through the development of a socially virtual game-free asset using Unity, our experiments shed light on the significant motivations for Generation Z in Thailand, emphasizing convenience, product appearance, and game effects. The findings highlight the pivotal roles of social engagement and the motivation for self-disclosure in building relationships. Additionally, our study suggests that social connections and shared experiences strongly motivate individuals to participate in gaming activities. Notably, female players are significantly influenced by social connections, while branding has a minimal impact on their motivation and desire.","PeriodicalId":515368,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Smart Cities and Society","volume":"31 47","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139607552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
