<p class="ISI-Paragraf">Semarang city government has made efforts to digitize public services and provide Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure to establish Semarang as a smart city, but there are remaining problems. The objectives of this research are (1) to identify the availability of smart city infrastructure in Semarang; (2) to understand human resources that support the operation and utilization of infrastructure; (3) to provide direction for improvement and development of smart city infrastructure based on spatial approach. The variable of the research is the availability of urban ICT infrastructure, which consists of sub-variables of each infrastructure types. Analysis used in this research is secondary data analysis, together with district unit analysis using Guttman scale analysis, Scalogram analysis, and Centrality Index analysis. The result stated that there are no centrality of smart city infrastructure because the IS value is discovered 35.14 (medium), which is divided into 4 hierarchies of area services. The completeness level of facilities in each district ranged between medium (50-70%) and high (&gt;75%). Therefore, the development of smart city infrastructure needs to be directed to southern and western regions that are in hierarchy service III and IV, balanced with the synergy between government and society in its implementation.</p>

The City

City governments around the world have increasingly engaged in “smart city” initiatives. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are at the core of these initiatives. City governments appear to play important roles in making the urban spaces, in which they are embedded, more attractive, more competitive, more livable, and smarter. The authors interviewed City officials in Munich, Germany, and asked for the definitions of “smart city,” which they then compared to Munich's smart city-related program. While the practitioners' definitions differed in part from those in the academic literature, the smart city overhaul program at Munich city government had a direct relationship to the practitioners' understanding of smartness. The authors portray and discuss the City of Munich institutional architecture overhaul and its expected and realized benefits, and compare the results to those of an earlier study on the City of Seattle. Both city governments evidently pursue different approaches, the effectiveness of which can more readily be assessed only at a future point of the smart city evolution.

Categorization Scheme

This research is motivated from the emerging of Smart City (SC) concept which lately has been implemented in Indonesian’s cities such as Jakarta, Bandung, and Surabaya as a mean to tackle city’s problems digitally. The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) becomes one of the SC characteristic which transformed into applications and websites. The main purpose of the research is to map the categorization of SC dimension based on the abundance of aplications and web sites for cities management. The explorative and qualitative approach was used as research method involving secondary data collection, categorization scheme, and pairing to Giffinger’s SC dimensions. About 338 SC’s innovation accounted from cities in Indonesia but only 109 registered as applications or websites. From those numbers, we then categorize into 14 typologies of applications/websites based on its methods in tackling urban problems. They are job related information, transport and traffic, education, citizen participation, environmental management, governance, bureaucracy/permission, staffing, health, energy management, disaster mitigation, criminality, entrepreneurship, and culture and tourism. As result, those categorizations are, in fact, more comprehensive than those of Giffinger’s six smart city dimensions by adding two more dimensions namely Smart Energy Management and Smart Disaster Mitigation. Despite the availability of the applications and websites related to them, the implementation is still limited.

The authors investigate the strategic association between information and communication technologies (ICTs) and sustainability using empirical data. Their hypothesis is that ICTs can promote a country's sustainability. In their framework the authors include the ICT factors of access, quality, affordability, applications, and institutional efficiency & sustainability. Sustainability is represented by individual development indicators, grouped in the clusters of environment, transportation infrastructure, energy consumption efficiency, economic development, and education. Using secondary data on ICTs and sustainability development indicators for countries from the World Bank, meanwhile controlling for the wealth effect, our main multivariate result indicates that ICTs factors have a positive association with sustainability. ICTs, therefore, have the potential to promote sustainability. The authors' results are useful in shaping strategic policy decisions that involve the nature and extent of investment in ICT infrastructure at the country level.

Smart City concept has been proposed as one of the solutions to urban problems. This study aims to analyze the potential for smart city development in Indonesia from the aspects of information and communication technology. The secondary data of ICT elements in Indonesia is used to assess the condition of ICT in Indonesia and the country’s readiness to implement the smart city concept. The data collection was carried out using a literature study. The ICT elements used in the analysis are from the smart city’s five pillars of leverage domain, proposed by Bounachi and Korabat (2018), namely connectivity, data center, data analytics, applications, and end-users. The results of this analysis indicate that the Indonesian people from year to year experience an increase in the number of users of computers and cellphones which are ICT devices. However, in other parts of the pillar, Indonesia still needs a lot of improvement, especially in data center construction. This needs to be improved in order to maximize the storage and use of data obtained from end-users such as citizens, residents, visitors, government, public agencies, and private businesses.

The purpose of this study is to conceptualize Indonesia’s ICT-based energy security tracking system with detailed indicators of renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) from the smart city extension. The opportunities for improvement to the energy security system is still wide open with the support of advances in information and communication technology (ICT) to integrate the internet and smart grid. The method refers to five main dimensions: availability, efficiency, affordability, sustainability, and governance. Then, how to link the concept of energy security with detailing indicator of RE and EE to the smart city. Empirically, energy security is a function of availability, efficiency, affordability, sustainability, and governance. The most important dimension is the Government (Go) to realize the interconnectivity and the information. If the Go has been realized, the other four dimensions will be easily obtained. With the development of ICT, the energy security status will certainly be more easily accessed anytime and anywhere by the stakeholders. The concept of a smart city usually integrated with the ICT infrastructure, especially for monitoring, management and decision-making tool. This research provides an overview of how the concept of energy security system is closely related to the implementation of the smart grid.

Ict Infrastructure

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is at the heart of the smart city approach, which constitutes the next level of cities’ and communities’ development across the globe. Thereby, ICT serves as the gluing component enabling different domains to interact with each other and facilitating the management and processing of vast amounts of data and information towards intelligently steering the cities’ infrastructure and processes, engaging the citizens and facilitating new services and applications in various aspects of urban life—e.g., supply chains, mobility, transportation, energy, citizens’ participation, public safety, interactions between citizens and the public administration, water management, parking and many other cases and domains. Hence, given the fundamental role of ICT in cities in the near future, it is of paramount importance to lay the ground for a sustainable and reliable ICT infrastructure, which can enable a city/community to respond in a resilient way to upcoming challenges, whilst increasing the quality of life for its citizens. A structured way of providing and maintaining an open and resilient ICT backbone for a city/community is constituted by the concept of an Open Urban Platform. Therefore, the current article presents the activities and developments necessary to achieve a resilient, standardized smart city, based on Open Urban Platforms (OUP) and the way these serve as a blueprint for each city/community towards the establishment of a sustainable and resilient ICT backbone.
