隨著世界人口快速增長，各地為了尋求解決人口增長所帶來的困境而使得智慧城市概念逐漸興起並加速推動其發展。在城市進步的同時，如何能夠保有社會、環境、經濟的永續議題也開始被關注，越來越多的研究者以及政策施行者將智慧城市與永續相結合，希望能在智慧城市中達到提升市民生活品質的終極目標。本研究自Scopus文獻資料庫中蒐集，選擇Samrt City (Smart Cities)、Sustainable、Sustainability等智慧城市與永續關鍵詞之相關文獻，以文字探勘的主題分析法，從時間、摘要、作者、和代表性文章與議題等角度來探討現有智慧城市與永續相關文獻之議題研究狀況，並藉此進一步歸納各主題類別近五年來的研究趨勢發展。根據本研究逐年研究結果將智慧城市與永續自2017年至2021年之相關文獻歸類為五大研究主題類別，主題類別1主要為都市、地區、社會規劃發展等主題、主題類別2為能源相關主題、主題類別3為資料分析與模型等主題、主題類別4為資訊科技應用服務相關主題、主題類別5為系統管理與模型架構之研究主題，並透過各年度之代表性文獻來探究各主題之議題趨勢走向以及找出現有文獻觸及的新興領域，以便後續研究者、政策規劃者、實務規劃者能夠快速掌握現有研究主題發展及趨勢，並即早針對新興領域做預先的規劃。;The importance of smart cities is being recognized because of rapid urban population growth in the past few years. Cities and governments are searching for smarter ways to solve potential crises that are caused by the excessive urban population. While new technology helps cities get smarter, researchers and policy makers have also started to pay attention to the topics of maintaining social, environmental and economic sustainability in smart cities since the ultimate goal of a smart city is to help improve citizens’ quality of life. In this thesis, topic analysis was conducted on the research articles between 2017 and 2021 from the Scopus database with the search keywords of smart city (smart cities), sustainable and sustainability. The research result shows the representative topics of each year from 2017 to 2021, where the most weighted articles of each topic were also identified. Based on the identified topics, research papers of smart cities and sustainability can be categorized into five topic genres, including (1) Urban, area and social planning and development related research, (2) Energy related research, (3) Data analysis and models related research, (4) Information technology application services related research, and (5) System and model framework related research. Trends and emerging research focus of each topic genre were summarized and discussed. The result of this research can provide topic development and identify emerging topics. Researchers, policy makers and practitioners can refer the research findings to have a better understanding of smart cities and sustainability research development and to plan ahead for emerging topics in this research area.
