A gestão “inteligente" da água: estabelecendo a relação entre o termo e as “smart cities".

Abstract

The role played by water in society is fundamental. With the increasingly frequent problems of scarcity around the world, it is necessary to use this resource wisely, thus, addressing efficient ways of handling water resources has become a necessary agenda to be studied by cities, especially, smart cities(smart cities). In this sense, the present work aimed to carry out a bibliometric analysis, seeking to identify the existence or not of the relationship between the term water andsmart city in a legal, managerial and ecological matrix. For this, we used the databasescopus as a means of obtaining research focused on the areas under study and the VOSviewer software to work out the coupling. To achieve the proposed, the following specific objectives were: a) Describe the trajectory of the terms city and smart city b) Analyze the level of relationship between the term water andsmart city and c) Carry out a bibliographic analysis in the VOSviewer software. Finally, it was observed that the concept of smart city has a focus on environmental issues, but the studies analyzed mostly did not aim to study water.
