Abstract
Today, the rapid increase in the population living in cities and new developments in information and communication technologies (ICTs) increase the demand for smart cities day by day. It is thought that limited public resources and crowded cities will be managed better by making more use of the opportunities offered by smart technologies. At this point, many countries around the world are turning to smart city applications. Especially after the Covid-19 pandemic, local governments have started to give importance to smart city projects due to the advantages of smart cities. It is thought that urban planning against epidemics will gain more importance in the coming years.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to investigate the determinants of a shift in lending towards household sectors during the growth of fintech credit using a sample of 41 countries between 2015 and 2018.
Design/methodology/approach
This study uses a fixed-effects model by adding indicators for geographic areas and year dummy variables to achieve this objective.
Findings
The findings show that the household credit to firm credit ratio is positively associated with credit information sharing and financial literacy, emphasising the importance of credit information sharing mechanism and financial literacy to household credit growth. More interestingly, the findings show that fintech credit development plays a more critical role in the evolution of firm credit than household credit. Nonetheless, fintech credit development may complement the growth of conventional lending. The results still hold when using several robustness checks.
Originality/value
This is the first attempt to examine the roles of credit information sharing, financial literacy and fintech credit development in a shift in lending activities towards households.

Abstract
Purpose
The relevance of analytics to the healthcare supply chain is increasing with emerging trends and technologies. This study examines how analytics are used in the healthcare supply chain in the “new normal” environment.
Design/methodology/approach
A systematic literature review was conducted by extracting research articles related to analytics in the healthcare supply chain from Scopus. The author used a hybrid review approach that combines bibliometric analysis with a theories, contexts, characteristics, and methodology (TCCM) framework-based review to identify various themes of analytics in the healthcare supply chain.
Findings
The hybrid review strategy yielded results that focus on prevalent theories, contexts, characteristics, and methodologies in the field of healthcare supply chain analytics. Future research should explore the resulting antecedents, decision-making processes and outcomes (ADO) framework, which integrates technological, economic, and societal concerns and outcomes. Future research agendas could also seek to apply theoretical perspectives in the field of analytics in the healthcare supply chain.
Originality/value
The result of a review of selected studies adds to the current body of work and contributes to the growth of research in the field of analytics in the healthcare supply chain. It also provides new directions to healthcare supply chain managers and academic scholars.
