“…Humayun et al (2020) observe the resource constraints in IoT devices, which play a significant role in smart transportation, and propose a layered framework that integrates IoT and blockchain that is secure against several security attacks through real-time information sharing and better fault tolerance. As there is some resistance for blockchain adoption, Orji et al (2020) identify the availability of blockchain tools, infrastructural facility, and government policy and support as significant factors that influence blockchain adoption in the freight logistics industry. As for customer satisfaction in urban logistics, Tian et al (2020) use a blockchainbased evaluation approach to identify the factors as cost performance, information transparency, cargo-damage rate and on-time delivery.…”

Sustainability has become an important objective of city logistics management. Smart city, being a technology and data driven paradigm for a city's sustainable development, has entailed new research opportunities from different perspectives. It is foreseeable that smart city will keep evolving in the domain of city logistics, which plays a key role in this game changing evolution. Recent research in this field is characterised by interdisciplinary approaches and disruptive innovations. We review the state-of-the-art of this general area and conduct a bibliometric analysis. We conclude with a new conceptual framework of smart city for sustainable urban freight logistics and the relevant key perspectives.

“…Several technological, institutional, and organizational factors can influence the adoption of blockchain in the waste management industry. The availability of a specific blockchain tool that can fully digitize the services of the waste management industry can influences its adoption [7,8]. Also, the infrastructural facility that details various facilities such as waste transportation network, traffic control and management, fine-grained and transparent incentives and penalties models, and real-time waste monitoring are required for the successful adoption of the blockchain platform into the waste management industry.…”

“…Currently, laws and regulations for blockchain are not mature enough, thereby affecting its adaptability in the waste management industry. Finally, organizational factors such as training facilities, top management support, perceived cost of investment, and available human resources greatly influence the adoption of blockchain into waste management within smart cities [7,51,88].…”

“…However, the existing systems leveraged to manage waste are highly disintegrated and face several challenges because of a lack of means to adequately share waste-related data among involved stakeholders in waste management processes [3][4][5]. Blockchain technology presents a single and unified platform that can be used by the involved stakeholders in waste management of cities to share data in an effective, secure, transparent, and verifiable manner [6][7][8]. Since blockchain follows decentralized architecture, hence it is a highly fault-tolerant, robust, and trusted technology.…”

Smart cities have the potential to overcome environmental problems caused by improper waste disposal to improve human health, protect the aquatic ecosystem, and reduce air pollution. However, today's systems, approaches, and technologies leveraged for waste management are manual and centralized that make them vulnerable to manipulation and the single point of failure problem. Also, a large portion of the existing waste management systems within smart cities fall short in providing operational transparency, traceability, audit, security, and trusted data provenance features. In this paper, we explore the key role of blockchain technology in managing waste within smart cities as it can offer traceability, immutability, transparency, and audit features in a decentralized, trusted, and secure manner. We discuss the opportunities brought about by blockchain technology in various waste management use cases and application scenarios, including real-time tracing and tracking of waste, reliable channelization and compliance with waste treatment laws, efficient waste resources management, protection of waste management documentation, and fleet management. We introduce a framework that leverages blockchain-based smart contracts to automate the key services in terms of waste management of smart cities. We compare the existing blockchain-based waste management solutions based on important parameters. Furthermore, we present insightful discussions on several ongoing blockchain-based research projects and case studies to highlight the practicability of blockchain in waste management. Finally, we present open challenges that act as future research directions.

“…Local governments can refer to the mentioned studies in their decision-making to assess the possibility of applying blockchain technology to government services in their regions. At the microscopic level, existing studies primarily assessed security concerns in governmental use of blockchain technology [25], the application of blockchain to e-Residency [26], blockchain and big data combine to elevate the level of urban governance and social information [12,27], financial network governance and freight assessment [28][29][30], and smart city governance [31,32]. As a research hotspot in the multidisciplinary field, such a type of research covers most aspects of the development of "blockchain + government service," whereas it lacks systematic and dynamic research methods.…”

Smart government is an important means of optimizing government management, improving the government decision-making capacity, and pushing forward the public service. When the smart government process applies, the dire straits of collaborative governance among the different participants could not be ignored usually caused by maximizing their profits. Based on the current research, this paper introduces the blockchain technology into the smart government system and establishes a smart government platform architecture. Meanwhile, to analyse the evolutionary and stable strategies of the three parties under the blockchain technology, the evolutionary game model including functional departments, local governments, and end users as the main players is established on account of the bounded rationality. By examining the “blockchain + government service” in Beijing with the systemic dynamics theory, this paper changes the influencing factors simulated by changing the parameter assignment, to determine the evolutionary stable equilibrium under different external conditions. The results show that local government supervision plays a leading role in the process of collaborative governance of smart government based on blockchain technology; meanwhile, effective cost control is a key factor affecting the evolutionary stability strategy (ESS). Besides, the “decentralized” structure, “distrust” architecture, and “precision” mechanism of the blockchain are verified for the effect of the evolution process. Among them, precision service and flat management improve the possibility of collaborative governance, but the impact of the trust mechanism is not obvious. Therefore, the collaborative governance model of smart government based on blockchain technology is loaded with far-reaching significance for promoting the modernization of China’s governance capacity and governance system.
