“…Poonia et al (2021) proposed how a blockchain-based framework can reduce drought fatalities through a cost-efficient, decentralized drought risk management system in India. The literature was echoed by Wang and Chen (2022) by suggesting a multi-agent collaborative mechanism based on blockchain technology. Studies in this cluster, in sum, address the advantages of the potential of blockchain in terms of distributed storage, decentralization, consensus algorithms, tamper-proof, traceability, and smart contract in emergency management (Poonia et al 2021; Rodríguez-Espíndola et al 2022; Wang and Chen 2022).…”

“…The sixth cluster decentralized cloud sourcing information for service and performance evaluation focuses on how decentralized disaster risk management systems through new technologies can enhance inclusive and locally contextual knowledge production and resilience building. Studies in this cluster addressed mobile phone technologies that leverage the rearrangement of the disaster management system, adopting a polycentric approach that involves multiple local stakeholders (Sukhwani and Shaw 2020; Paul, Bee, and Budimir 2021; Poonia et al 2021; Wang and Chen 2022). The literature suggests an innovative, collaborative disaster management mechanism from the stakeholder's perspective and how the new system can complement the extant emergency management system for better service and performance.…”

Despite a growing body of research on the smart city framework for disaster resilience, a comprehensive systematic literature review from urban planning perspectives has never been attempted. In this review of smart and resilient cities, we distill vital learning and shared concepts, identify research trends and limitations, and suggest avenues for future research. The results reveal that reviewed articles primarily focused on methodological approaches addressing how to adapt technologies for disaster resilience, yet rarely discussed the sociological approaches to environment, economy, and governance. This study will provide a reference to trace existing research and suggest equitable smart resilience.

PurposeThe objective of this study is to explore the impact of a government-supported initiative for operational security, specifically the establishment of the national security emergency industry demonstration base, on the profitability of local publicly traded companies. Additionally, the study investigates the significance of firms' blockchain strategies and technologies within this framework.Design/methodology/approachUsing the differences-in-differences (DID) approach, this study evaluates the impact of China's national security emergency industry demonstration bases (2015–2022) on the profitability of local firms. Data from the China Research Data Service (CNRDS) platform and investor Q&As informed our analysis of firms' blockchain strategy and technology, underpinned by detailed data collection and a robust DID model.FindingsEmergency industry demonstration bases have notably boosted enterprise profitability in both return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). Companies adopting blockchain strategies and operational technology see a clear rise in profitability over non-blockchain peers. Additionally, the technical operation of blockchain presents a more pronounced advantage than at the strategic level.Originality/valueWe introduced a new perspective, emphasizing the enhancement of corporate operational safety and financial performance through the pathway of emergency industry policies, driven by the collaboration between government and businesses. Furthermore, we delved into the potential application value of blockchain strategies and technologies in enhancing operational security and the emergency industry.
