Project description:
The aim of the project was to popularize the idea of a smart city by monitoring services and development, introducing city management based on standardized data and counteracting the silo approach to data use. Residents can participate in management and the city becomes transparent in its functioning.
By creating standards for smart city management, by standardizing procedures for obtaining up-to-date and reliable data and analyzes in terms of the quality of life in the city (compliant with ISO 37120, INSPIRE, meeting the 5 star Open Data guidelines), making them available for use in creating new public values and city services increase the involvement and trust of residents.
The project consists of several stages:
- Identification and inventorying of data sets owned by the city of Kielce, as well as by public administration institutions and external sources (e.g. non-governmental organizations, universities, enterprises) and leading to the creation of reference and thematic databases;
- Development of an universal methodology for urban audit and analysis of living conditions in the city. The methodology took into account the possibility of counting and visualizing indicators assessing sustainable development and quality of life of residents. It was developed using a participatory and expert method. The indicators proposed and described in the methodology also refer to the strategies, programmes and policies developed by the city in order to diagnose and monitor the effectiveness of the assumed activities;
- Development of an universal data model for Polish cities, taking into account various areas of their functioning, based on the identified and inventoried data sources;
- Development of algorithms, data processing processes, analytical models enabling the use of city data to calculate and visualize indicators, in particular in relation to the city space;
- Developing a concept for the functioning of the municipal Analytical Team to break the silo thinking and sectoral implementation of tasks by organizational units, city units and municipal companies;
- Design and pilot implementation of the city data exchange and research service of local universities cooperating with the city in order to better monitor the city's development;
- Project and pilot implementation of the IoT data analytical platform with pilot installation of sensors in urban spaces monitoring selected phenomena;
- Project and pilot implementation of a website and mobile application using crowdsourcing, enabling the acquisition of data reported by residents and their use in city management;
- Pilot implementation of a business intelligence and location intelligence system, integrated with the Municipal Spatial Information System and other IT systems in the city, enabling, if possible, automated analysis and visualization of city data (including city audit and IoT data) in the form of interactive management dashboards and maps thematic (available to residents and online decision makers) and sharing data as open data. In designing the visualization, user experience methods was used in order to adapt them to the expectations of various groups of recipients;
- Pilot implementation of a system consisting of interactive tables with touch screens and dedicated software providing analysis results, data and city indicators during public discussions and public consultations.
