Smart Cities, Smart Tourist Destinations, BibliometricAbstract
This article sought to map the current state of research on smart cities (CI) and smart tourist destinations (DTI), in order to verify similarities and/or dissonances that provide subsidies to reflect the theoretical structure of the fields, the current research agendas. and possible theoretical-methodological gaps. Therefore, a systematic review was carried out with the support of bibliometrics, based on articles indexed in the Web of Science. 39 articles on smart cities and 28 articles on smart tourist destinations were analyzed with the support of VOSviewer and Rayyan software. The results indicate that the journals that most concentrate the publications of both samples is Sustainability. The authors with the highest number of publications in the CI sample are Miltiadis D. Lytras (Greece) and Rob Kitchen (Ireland), and in DTI Ulrike Gretzel (USA) and Mariana Brandão Cavalheiro (Brazil) stand out. It was identified, therefore, that there are no researchers in common in the samples that produce research on both themes. The results of the analysis of the textual corpus suggest five agendas that are more frequent in CI: Governance and Management of Smart Cities; Intelligence Applied to Urban Contexts; Social Dimension and Citizen Inclusion; Big Data and Ethical Data Management; Critique of Technological Determinism. In DTI, the main agendas are: Governance and Management of Smart Tourist Destinations; Technologies, Innovation and Value Co-creation; Dimension of Intelligent Experience, Theoretical-Methodological Basis of DTI, Critical Perspective of the Model. Of the contents discussed, governance is the topic that moves consistently between the two themes. However, sustainability, which is a premise of the guiding models of both cities and the model of smart tourist destinations, is tangent in the researches. It is configured, therefore, as a research gap, mainly in empirical works that portray the effectiveness of the DTI model in improving the sustainability of destinations.
