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:
- 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.
- To
encourage cross-disciplinary research agendas in urban areas in developing
countries, which are multidimensional and multidisciplinary.
