Smart city project
New technologies to protect the welfare of citizens and the land
There are numerous challenges for the Municipality of Fratta Todina as it focuses on new technologies to enhance competitiveness, stimulate employment and increase the attractiveness of the area.
In this perspective, it also aims to protect the welfare of citizens and actively involve them in the care of the territory.
In pursuit of these goals, the municipality will adopt the WiseTown platform to have interactive information panels offering information on the well-being of the citizenry. The same platform also integrates the space that welcomes community voices and reports.
Fratta Todina Welfare Dashboard
The Citizen Welfare Dashboard is an innovative and comprehensive tool designed to provide a detailed and accessible overview of different dimensions related to community well-being. Through this platform, various key indicators can be monitored and analyzed in order to assess the effectiveness of policies and interventions geared toward improving citizens’ quality of life.
Welfare Dashboard Data and Indicators
Data and indicators in the Dashboard can cover the distribution of children and young people in different areas of the city, the incidence of the elderly population over 75, and the ratio of elderly to young people. And not only that, the tool provides an overview of the distribution of households, the incidence of large families, and other relevant information.
Why monitor the evolution of social welfare?
Monitoring social welfare is essential for identifying needs, allocating resources, adapting policies and programs, promoting equity, and evaluating the effectiveness of measures to improve citizens’ quality of life.
Issue manager: citizen reporting tool
The WiseTown platform includes Issue Manager, a tool designed to collect community reports and voices efficiently. Through a dedicated app, citizens have the opportunity to actively participate by reporting relevant situations or any issues. Fundamental to building an open dialogue for the care of the local area, Issue Manger allows municipal offices to centrally manage reports, complaints and suggestions, greatly simplifying the communication process and optimizing efficiency in handling reports.
Using georeferenced data and an advanced reporting system, the municipality can make informed decisions, identify significant trends, and assess the most common categories of problems. This approach fosters an innovative dialogue between citizens and government, contributing to a more transparent decision-making process tailored to the actual needs of the local community.
Benefits: technological innovation to protect the smart community and territory
New technologies, with their potential for digitization and innovation, facilitate interaction between the municipality and citizens, marking not only a technological but also a cultural change in the approach to governance and community life. This process transforms the way institutions and communities operate, creating an environment that is more transparent, participatory and responsive to citizens’ individual needs.
In addition, digitization facilitates more effective two-way communication between citizens and government. Having tools for collecting and managing reports enables the administration to efficiently plan interventions and respond to community needs in a more timely manner.
Fratta Todina: features of the territory
Fratta Todina enchants visitors with its medieval beauty, offering an authentic journey through time through its rich historical and architectural heritage. The area’s breathtaking views allow tourists to immerse themselves in lush nature and enjoy an atmosphere steeped in history and tranquility. Among its special features are the sulfur and ferruginous water springs with healing properties, offering an oasis of regeneration and well-being.
The town is surrounded by the striking sub-Apennine ridge, culminating in Mount Peglia, nestled in a lush forest. The Faena stream, which flows at the foot of the village, joins the Tiber River after contributing to the wonderful process of anthropization of the Tiber Valley.
The contribution to sustainable urban development
The “Fratta Todina smart city” project aims to contribute to the achievement of the following Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, defined and promoted by the United Nations.
