"Later, sensors can be used to monitor surface water levels in rivers, so that real-time data from them can be used to mitigate floods," he informed.
"Data from sensors can also be applied in public transportation, monitoring traffic density, and optimizing other public services,"
Nugraha emphasized that several stages to realizing Jakarta as a sensing city, with the first stage being identifying problems.
The second stage, Nugraha continued is the ability to diagnose the cause of the problem, while the third is the ability to predict which services would be required by the residents, and lastly the ability to give recommendations to the government.
"After the provincial government understands the data, it can conduct interventions based on data or implement data-based policies," Nugraha remarked.
In addition, Nugraha remarked that along with preparing Jakarta to be a sensing city, the provincial government is also striving to make Jakarta a safe city.
The official complaint channel, such as the Jakarta Kini (Jaki), can be developed further for emergency cases, he added.
"The official complaint channel is currently non-emergency. As long as we have the data, it can serve emergency cases in its future development," Nugraha concluded.
