Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to global social adjustment efforts to reduce contamination. As a response, academic studies on smart technologies have increased to support government restrictions like social distancing. Despite these restrictions, the architectural, engineering, and construction industries have shown increased budget and activity. An investigation into the adjustments made during the pandemic, utilizing technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart technologies, is necessary to understand research trends in the new normal. This study should cover various sectors, including business, healthcare, architecture, education, tourism, and transportation. A literature review on SCOPUS and Web of Science databases identified a trend in pandemic-era research across these sectors, focusing on IoT, smart technologies, architecture, building, space, and COVID-19. Overlapping knowledge of IoT systems within building design for specific purposes was discovered, justifying the need for a new sub-category called smart architecture that categorizes the knowledge required to embed IoT systems in the planning, design, and construction of purpose-built buildings across sectors.

Summary: The increase in urban population has led to various issues in urban transportation systems, such as air pollution, wastage of time and energy, and scarcity of parking spots. Smart parking services that inform drivers about parking spot availability have been proposed to overcome this problem and reduce associated costs. However, the communication technology used by parking sensors buried under the asphalt poses a challenge in deploying these services. This paper analyzes the behavior and performance of a LoRaWAN network supporting smart parking in Santander, providing insights for better understanding the factors affecting communication.
