“…First of all, we found that, in spite of the keywords indicating users' needs, there were very few studies that presented user involvement in new unmanned vehicle development and that these were even more limited in the case of aerial vehicles. For example, Simmons and Mehmet 33 described the preferences of beach and ocean end-users in shark management strategies, while Weidinger et al 34 described the needs of firefighters related to the potential use of drones and indoor positioning sensors. We also found a few studies that considered different user segments.…”

This paper presents user needs and preferences gathered prior to the development of an indoor remotely piloted air system. A literature review was carried out to analyse previous studies about the involvement of users in the design of indoor unmanned aerial vehicles. Subsequently, the results of these user needs obtained from three focus groups held in European countries (Belgium, Spain and United Kingdom) are presented here. Through a content analysis of the information obtained in the focus groups, 40 codes and 4 variables were defined and used to examine the differences between types of users and their previous experience with drones. The literature review gave support to the results obtained through users’ involvement in the features to be included in a new unmanned aerial vehicle. Non-parametric tests and qualitative comparative analysis were used to analyse the information gathered in the focus groups. The results revealed few differences between artists working in creative industries and drone operators working for the creative industries. These differences affected features such as detecting and avoiding obstacles, which requires the inclusion of sensors. In addition, previous experience with drones was found to be a sufficient condition to explain greater concerns over safety, ethical and security issues in indoor environments.

“…Future work should also make efforts to complement the theoretical foundation of emergency studies with theories from other fields. Current literature has developed theories about information transmitted among various stakeholders (Wang et al 2018 ; Weidinger et al 2018 ; Liu and Xu 2018 ; Abedin and Babar 2018 ; Fedorowicz and Gogan 2010 ), and theories of coordination and political science (Maldonado et al 2010 ). Moreover, a better comprehension of the analysis perspective can be made by learning constructs about human behavior, social networks, etc.…”

Emergency management (EM) has always been a concern of people from all walks of life due to the devastating impacts emergencies can have. The global outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 has pushed EM to the top topic. As mobile phones have become ubiquitous, many scholars have shown interest in using mobile phone data for EM. This paper presents a systematic literature review about the use of mobile phone data for EM that includes 65 related articles written between 2014 and 2019 from six electronic databases. Five themes in using mobile phone data for EM emerged from the reviewed articles, and a systematic framework is proposed to illustrate the current state of the research. This paper also discusses EM under COVID-19 pandemic and five future implications of the proposed framework to guide future work.

“…Whether the innovation is technological or managerial, effectiveness requires a proper assessment of the potential integration with existing organisational processes and this is clearly underpinned by an appropriate acceptance and engagement of users and practitioners within DM. The first two papers (Wang et al 2018;Weidinger et al 2018) deal with this assessment issue. Wang et al (2018) proposes a DM capability model to assess the DM maturity of an organization.…”

“…The assessment process includes collecting, analysing, reporting and planning. Weidinger et al (2018) tackle the same important question as Wang et al (2018), but the theoretical basis is innovation diffusion theory from an IS perspective. The paper presents a qualitative study of German fire departments to gain insights into the perceived potential of selected emerging technologies from that perspective.…”
