Abstract

This research aims to describe the trends and development directions of global research concerning Smart People, Digital Literacy, and Smart City. The method employed is Social Network Analysis using a quantitative bibliometric approach. The primary focus of this research mapping is the interconnectedness and evolution of research on the concepts of Smart People and Digital Literacy within the context of Smart City development in existing research. A Smart City is not solely determined by advancements in infrastructure and digital technology but also by the quality of human resources capable of adapting to these changes. In this context, Smart People are a key element, reflecting individuals' ability to think critically, innovate, and utilize technology effectively. One of the main foundations of Smart People is Digital Literacy, which is the ability to understand, evaluate, and wisely and productively use digital information. The connection between Smart People and Digital Literacy is crucial in realizing urban communities that are participatory, adaptive, and ready to face digital transformation. Metadata was collected using Publish or Perish (PoP) software from the Google Scholar database with the keywords "Smart People," "Digital Literacy," and "Smart City" during the 2020-2024 period. The data was exported in two formats: CSV and RIS. The CSV file was processed using Pivot Tables in Microsoft Excel to present the statistical distribution of publications, while the RIS file was analyzed using the VOSviewer application to map author networks, keywords, and research trends. Bibliometric visualizations are presented in three main forms: Network Visualization, Overlay Visualization, and Density Visualization. This research makes an important contribution to understanding how the trends and research focus on Smart People and Digital Literacy are developing globally. The findings can also serve as a reference for formulating Smart City development policies that are not only technology-based but also focused on empowering the community as the main actors of change.
