Modelo de avaliação para Smart Cities considerando os ODS e a pandemia do Covid-19.

Abstract

Cities cover about 2% of the Earth's surface and house approximately 85% of the global population. The integration of technological elements in the traditional infrastructure of cities gives rise to Smart Cities that provide, among other results, resilience in crisis situations, as is the case of the pandemic caused by Covid19 as of 2020, and contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Municipal sustainability indicators seek to measure the level of sustainability of cities and/or municipalities, providing subsidies to their respective managers. Therefore, this research will aim to propose an assessment model for Smart Cities through sustainability indicators aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals considering the context of the Covid19 pandemic. The research is elaborated in a model of three complementary scientific articles with different methodological phases, the first part being a bibliometric study aligning the basic concepts of this proposal: Smart Cities, ODS and Covid19; the second part, the proposition of a system of indicators for Smart Cities aligned with the SDGs and the context of the pandemic using the technique of reviewing indicator databases and interviews with experts and; finally, the operationalization of the system of indicators proposed in the city of Campina Grande. With the proposal of the model, we seek to overcome limitations in the analysis of practices carried out by city management, opening up new areas of investigation and subsidizing managers with suggestions for new practices. Database analysis of scientific publications, theoretical essay, proposition of a set of indicators and case study, will compose the research.
