Urban commons in the techno-economic paradigm shift: An information and communication technology-enabled climate-resilient solutions review

Abstract

The commons concept has evolved in multiple ways after the publication of Ostrom’s seminal work in 1990, which emphasized the evolution of resource management institutions and the usefulness of self-governance. As we move into the 21st century, one of the institutional transformations is catalyzed by the emergence of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a techno-economic paradigm shift and the epochal creation of a new online social structure. However, there is a lack of understanding about the impact of ICT on common resource management, particularly in urban settings, that is urban commons. This study presents a systematic literature review of ICT-enabled urban commons with particular attention to its application to climate-related issues such as climate mitigation/adaptation in order to improve our collective ability to leverage ICT for building a more sustainable and resilient city. A total of 66 pieces of literature were included in our qualitative synthesis. We analyzed the geographical, categorical, and climate relevance. Subsequently, we used the coupled infrastructure system framework as a system thinking approach to dissect distinct usefulness of ICT-enabled commons in the building of relationships between resource system, resource user, infrastructure, and infrastructure provider to tackle climate-related issues. Our findings identified three key contributions of ICT to innovate climate-resilient solutions: 1) to redefine role of resource user as co-producer, co-designer, and co-monitor; 2) to enable real-time data-driven urban planning; 3) to improve resource efficiency and effectiveness. In other words, in a time of insufficient and limited public resources, the public sector can leverage the power of technology to harness public support and engage non-traditional stakeholders to make cities more sustainable and resilient while allowing policy-making to be big data-driven to tackle new urban problems that cannot be otherwise uncovered without the aid of ICT. The results provide directions to rethink the city based on collective action to diversity modes to govern common resources.

Augmented Cognition: Life as we don't know it

“…They are a complex process that is influenced by a variety of internal technology is adopted and implemented. Carlotta Perez refers to technological shifts as "techno-economic paradigms" (Perez, 2004; see also Drechsler, Kattel and Reinert, 2009;Chien, Hori, and Saito, 2022). Technological shifts can also be influenced by global and regional events such as natural disasters, pandemics, and geopolitical changes, which can create new demands for technology, disrupt existing supply chains, and change the way technology is used.…”

Computer Hardware and Network Data Transmission based on Internet of Things Communication Technology

“…The interconnection of communication technologies and mobile payments has contributed to the development of various communication industries. In short, the potential for identifying and using communication networks is relatively large, and thus can be actively promoted on the Internet [8]. With the widespread use of artificial intelligence technology, modern information technology, with the advancement of technology, the Internet of Things has been gradually introduced, so that the actual operation of the objects used in the Internet of Things can be remotely controlled through communication and information technology, use remote rice cookers and hot water at home with the help of communication technology.…”

“…On the other hand, horizontal techniques and collaboration systems are extensively used to take equal contribution steps by incorporating all stakeholders. For improved response management, a collaboration transition from a public-private partnership from the public in disaster mitigation, recovery, and response, particularly in the tourism industry [46,47].…”
