Abstract
LOPEZ LOPEZ, Édgar Alejandro and ALVAREZ-AROS, Érick Leobardo. Strategy in smart cities and social inclusion of the elderly. PAAKAT: rev. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2021, vol.11, n.20, e543. Epub Apr 21, 2021. ISSN 2007-3607. https://doi.org/10.32870/pk.a11n20.543.
Smart cities are increasingly necessary in today's society, however the social inclusion of the elderly within these seems a forgotten issue that needs to be considered for the construction of an inclusive society. The objective of this research is to explore the social inclusion of the elderly in smart cities, as well as their evolution, scientometric characteristics and trends by means of a bibliometric analysis. The work analyzes bibliometric metadata 244 Scopus documents, published from 2010 to 2020 using Software R, Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny. The conclusions indicate that a growing interest is maintained over time, and this is perceived mainly in conferences; in addition, thematic trends reveal elements such as the internet of things, design and implementation, and e-commerce among others. Likewise, the emergence of the term inclusive smart city was evidenced, which considers the integration into society of vulnerable groups. It is expected that this work will serve as a reference for an inclusive design of smart cities.
