CITIES 2019 International Conference: Spatial Planning in the Digital Age to Achieve Sustainable Development

 

 

INTRODUCTION

Information system and technology have been an integral part of society in big cities. When used appropriately, information systems and technology can solve problems found in the environment and cities, with the government as the executor and the private sector as the supporting party. For examples, information and technology systems have been the main drivers of economic development in developed countries, substantially increasing the productivity of service sectors, development programs, and other human activities.

Indonesia is one of the developing countries that has felt the progress of the development of the information system and technology. While progressing towards digital-oriented society, Indonesia has not been using information systems and technology to improve the productivity of service sectors or support development programs in urban areas. One of the example is that the spatial planning process, such as planning, development, control, and decision-making, has not fully utilized the progress in information systems and technology. For this reason, the CITIES 2019 International seminar aims to bring up the idea of using information systems and technology (potentially applied or already successfully implemented) in the spatial planning process in Indonesia to achieve sustainable development goals.

The committee of CITIES 2019 has invited two foreign speakers to deliver topics on the applications and ideas related to the use of information systems and technology that have been successfully implemented in their countries. The committee also invited two domestic speakers to elaborate topics on the use of information systems and technology in Indonesia, especially in the field of planning and development.

PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

 

This CITIES 2019 International Seminar is intended to discuss and disseminate studies and scientific thinking related to the use of information systems and technology for spatial planning and development, especially in urban areas in developing countries, one of which is Indonesia. The results of this seminar are expected to be a prescription for planners and the government as policymakers to improve regional management. They can also be a stimulus for academics to foster creative thoughts to realize a sustainable city that consider various urban potential and problems. Therefore, the objectives of this seminar are:

  1. To accommodate knowledge sharing based on the results of multidisciplinary research and cross-sectoral practices to enrich creative ideas in the use of information systems and technology, especially in the current digital era.
  2. To encourage cross-disciplinary research agendas in urban areas in developing countries, which are multidimensional and multidisciplinary.
