Telling the story of Smart City “Smart City”

“I think Smart City should be translated as Smart City instead of the original translation. is a smart city So that you don’t feel that it’s far away,” Dr. Nonkran added, adding that when thinking of Smart City, one might think of a city with tall buildings. Architecturally outstanding Technology-advanced city Or a city where robots walk around like they’re straight out of a sci-fi movie?

Dr. Non said that the translation of “Smart City” would be most appropriate for the word “Smart City”. “Smart” includes people. If the city is smart but the people are not smart, then they cannot get along. At the same time, if the smart people but the city are not developed to be smart, then there will be the same problem. to maintain the advantages of the city and fix the disadvantages of the city There must be people who have the courage to think, dare to act, and are smarter than before. Learning is therefore an important factor in making cities smarter.

“I gave a simple example. big city problems It is inevitable about the environment, pollution, traffic jams. Just take these 3 things first. Now that we now have more information. Better technology at a lower price If we can use what we have to manage the city for the convenience of the residents. That’s what a “smarter” city means, says Smart City experts.

Dr Non also said that what we really need from a smarter city is the ability to adapt to new environments. New situations, new conditions, with the right methods and technologies. This allows people living in the city to bring out their own potential as much as possible. To contribute to the economic and social development of the city where we live in the best way.

Smart City may not be a city that has to be advanced with technology. Because maybe if the city’s system is too advanced People may not want to stay. Dr. Non, for example, the city of Songdo in South Korea. with technology and innovation that are too advanced South Koreans also don’t want to go. In spite of the city is all good, clean, with very advanced technology, take it easy. The system will say If going to a supermarket, you should wait another 15 minutes because there are many people in the mall right now. You may have to wait in line for a long time. what about this which most people don’t like because it is contrary to the way of life of human beings who want to go anywhere as they want at the desired time

“There are lessons from many countries trying to make smart cities. but does not meet the needs of residents In some countries, such as the story of the last Mile or the last mile. that people will be able to travel out of the house and return home After using public transport In Singapore, attempts were made to park bicycles. so that people can use it to ride home after getting off the public transport. But in the end it doesn’t work. People don’t use it. Finally, it becomes a pile of bicycle wreckage. which if we will make the city smarter may have to think Bicycles may not be suitable for Singapore-constrained areas. Maybe the last mile to use as a scooter would be more work.”

The indicators of being a smart city or Smart City consist of several parts, including Smart ENERGY that focuses on increasing energy efficiency. Increase renewable energy in the area Smart ECONOMY focuses on increasing annual income per capita Smart PEOPLE focuses on the proportion of people in the area Digital Literacy Smart MOBILITY focuses on satisfaction with public transport or a convenient traffic transportation system and deaths from road trips must be reduced by 50% per year. Smart ENVIRONMENT Increase the quality of management of water, air, waste and green areas to meet the standards. Smart GOVERNANCE emphasizes the proportion of people’s access to information through digital channels. climb and the proportion of people participating in the development of public service systems increased; and Smart LIVING, the health index, which refers to health dimensions. or the safety of life and property is improved by more than 80% per year

Dr. Non made an interesting observation that Being a Smart City or Smart City is the most important thing. Use the health of residents as a development goal It’s not technology, use technology to solve problems to save time, capital, think about value, not just efficiency, and finally, think big, but do it consistently that matters. No matter how far future technology advances But in the end, technology only plays a role as a tool towards a set goal. Humans should have discretion in choosing the right tools. The answer may not always be digital.
