Using UAV for the Digitalisation of Public Administration. A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

"Using UAV for The Digitalisation of Public Administration. A Bibliometric Analysis. The new European financial framework for 2021-2027 indicates digitalisation investments as a priority for the residential spaces, especially the urban ones. This is needed to increase the efficiency of the public administration and to optimize the relationships with the citizens (POR 2021-2027). In Romania, there are some recent good practice models in this regard, accelerated also by the current pandemic context. The scope of the paper consisted in highlighting the scientific production associated to the use of UAV technology in public administration by means of bibliometric analyses. Research included three stages: a). Selection of the documents in the Scopus database, b). Data extraction and visualization and c). Interpretation of bibliometric analyses conducted. The bibliometric analyses that were conducted highlighted that the interest for this topic was relatively recent (since 1988). It was strongly customized in the North-American and North-Western European research, but this type of approach is also necessary in the South-Eastern European countries. Keywords: UAV, Romania, VOSviewer, local administration. "
