A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON SMART COMMUNITIES IN WESTERN COUNTRIES
As the basic unit of smart city,smart community is the practice of smart city on a smaller scale.This research reviews the research on smart communities in Western countries in the last ten years.It aims to make up for the deficiencies of the discussions in Chinese documents in aspects of basic connotation,devel-opment characteristics,components,development goals,and existing problems of smart communities.Re-view shows that the meaning of smart community is mainly defined from three perspectives:a technical per-spective,a human capital perspective,and a social-technical perspective.The components of smart commu-nity involve provision of community service,establishment of community facilities,community governance,etc.Smart facilities in communities include information and data of smart facilities such as transportation,en-ergy,home construction and environmental monitoring.Smart community governance refers to the service system developed by using ICT technology and participating in community governance.The field of commu-nity smart service is the application of ICT technology to provide residents with various services closely re-lated to their daily lives.There are four development modes of smart community:Government-led,government-enterprise-resident multi cooperation,private drive and community autonomy.The evaluations of smart city are made from two main dimensions-community construction and development and residents'quality of life of the smart community.Meanwhile,smart communities are confronted with problems such as privacy,digital divide,delays in data processing,lack of voice from residents,and lack of long-term manage-ment and monitoring.A systematic review of the research on smart communities in Western countries helps to promote the further research and development of smart communities in China.
