Pattaya becomes a Smart City: Space technology for a green future!
The future of urban development is on the agenda in Pattaya! Mayor นายปรเมศวร์ งามพิเชษฐ์ recently received the leadership team of GISTDA, the Office of Space and Geoinformation Technology. At a meeting in the city council's boardroom that holds great potential for the coming years, all participants discussed opportunities for collaboration to apply space and geospatial technology to make city government more efficient. How Banmuang reports, GISTDA is the authoritative authority in Thailand for everything related to space technology and geoinformation.
The application areas discussed in this context cover various essential topics: from natural disaster risk management to weather reporting and combating PM 2.5 air pollution. Floods, rainfall and forest fires were also in focus. Particularly interesting: support for the Pattaya Go Green policy to reduce greenhouse gases.
Technology for a sustainable future
Mayor ปรเมศวร์ emphasized the importance of the data and technology that GISTDA provides for the city administration. The idea is not only to improve the quality of life of citizens, but also to further develop Pattaya as a modern and sustainable smart city. The aim is to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in the future to define the strategy. Nation of Thailand adds that the GISTDA and Pattaya cooperation sees it as a significant step in this direction.
An exciting element is the proposal to create a 3D digital twin as a virtual city model. This digital twin will be used to simulate city usage problems, particularly in the areas of flood management, air pollution and traffic management. For example, the water flow during heavy rain can be modeled or air quality can be simulated. This allows preventive measures to be better planned and implemented.
Real-time data for more security
In addition, real-time data should contribute to improving the quality of life. By using technologies that integrate traffic and accident data into an incident control center, emergency response can be optimized. Weather updates and air quality information are also provided to increase visitors' sense of safety in Pattaya. The possible correlations between virtual models and reality open up completely new perspectives for city administration and tourism.
Much remains to be discussed and the next step will be to work with additional authorities to find the best course of action. The city government has designated the Office of Strategy and Budget as the lead coordinator for this initiative.
It remains exciting to see how Pattaya will develop further with the help of modern technology. What is clear, however, is that the city is on the right track to offer a high quality of life not only to its citizens, but also to tourists.
