Abstract

This article is intended to explore the role urban planners in a smart and sustainable manners in coastal areas, which was inspired by previous article on smart sustainable cities five years ago. An article’s focus is on exploring and mapping international publications using bibliometric analysis is the focus of this paper. It was found that there are still few publications regarding smart sustainable city planning for coastal areas which are not yet popular. In a concern of coastal areas, engineering is no more popular than environmental planning, computer science and business, while the most popular discussions about coastal areas are dominated by the fields of geography, biology, and ecology. The essential part is that integrity is required from three basic aspects: resilience, governance, and spatial concerns. Next, with developability analysis and perceptual analysis in a balanced manner, the four components (planning process, technology choices, and encouraging a competitive economy) of smartness can be well managed. In response, the promotion of sustainable coastal areas can be implemented through synergy effects, substitution effects, generation effects, and enhancement effects can promote the sustainability of coastal areas.
