Resumo(s)
In recent years society has undergone a process of modernization and with it, there
has been increased citizen participation in decision-making and public policy
development. This is due to, in part, the use of Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) together with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the
development of channels of participation. This rapprochement between citizens and
institutions through technology, has encouraged the development and evolution of
the smart city concept in a broad sense and smart campus, applied to the university
context, as test area.
The goal of this thesis is study the relation between the three components of a
smart city (human, institution, technology) through the introduction of an
improvement in the technology component that allows interrelate the human and
institutional component in a closer way, and analyze its potential impact on them. To
this end, public participation has been enabled at the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) by
implementing a Web mapping application that, on the one hand allows users to
report campus incidents (illegally parked vehicles, accumulation of garbage, etc.) in
a more accessible way to the administrative institution of the campus, and on the
other hand allows to this institution to receive the incidents in a structured and
organized visually way, useful for decision-making regarding the management of
campus resources.
