Abstract:
Different approaches are adopted in this paper to develop a conceptual Society 5.0
landscape overview as well as a roadmap and a preliminary research agenda. In the first
place, we employed Social Network Analysis (SNA) on Twitter to identify the
communities and communication around Society 5.0, followed by content analysis of two
collected document repositories, one a set of academic publications and one a set of
popular press articles on Society 5.0. We used the results of these investigations to
develop a conceptual landscape overview of Society 5.0 using the themes that were
identified during the analysis. The landscape model was subsequently used as a baseline
to develop an initial research agenda for Society 5.0 studies. Anyone interested in doing
research or adopting the Society 5.0 vision should benefit from our contributions.
