Abstract

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in smart city development has emerged as a critical pathway for achieving sustainable regional development objectives. This literature review examines IoT-based smart city framework implementation in Kabupaten Sumedang, Indonesia, analyzing how technological integration supports sustainable development goals within regional contexts. Through systematic analysis of academic publications, government reports, and policy documents from 2019-2025, this study investigates three key dimensions: smart city implementation strategies, sustainable development frameworks, and IoT technology applications in Sumedang's urban transformation. The review reveals that Kabupaten Sumedang has strategically positioned itself within Indonesia's "100 Smart Cities" program, establishing comprehensive masterplans guided by six smart city pillars: smart governance, smart mobility, smart economy, smart living, smart society, and smart environment. Key findings demonstrate that IoT implementation encompasses real-time monitoring systems, digital governance platforms, and citizen engagement applications, with notable initiatives including Silasidakep (Digital Population Service System) and Command Center operations. The sustainable development framework integrates environmental stewardship, economic growth, and social inclusion through technology-mediated solutions. However, challenges persist including digital divide issues, infrastructure scalability, and interoperability concerns among IoT devices. The study concludes that successful IoT-based smart city implementation requires holistic integration of technological infrastructure, governance frameworks, and community participation to achieve sustainable regional development outcomes.
