Research Hotspots, Evolution, and Prospects of Intelligent Communities in China Over the Past Twelve Years:—— A visual analysis based on CNKI-sourced journals

Abstract

In recent years, the construction of intelligent communities in China has flourished and become an important force in promoting urban digital transformation. Smart communities have leveraged the Internet, Internet of Things, big data, and other technologies to achieve intelligent community management and efficient services. However, the construction of intelligent communities also faces challenges such as data security and technological updates, which require continuous exploration and improvement to better serve residents and promote sustainable development of the community. A comprehensive review of the research on intelligent communities in China over the past twelve years is conducive to deepening theoretical and policy research, and better guiding educational practice. By using the Cite Space bibliometric tool, a visual graph of the evolution of research fields related to intelligent communities can be constructed, which intuitively presents the core authors and main research institutions of intelligent community research in China; Through keyword clustering, co-occurrence, and knowledge graph analysis, researchers can also have a clearer understanding of the main content, hot topics, and cutting-edge trends of intelligent community research in China over the past twelve years.
