The management of a municipality divided in different sectors. In Greece and other countries does not exist the same administrative structure for each municipality. In our case, we decided to follow the key factors proposed by the EU initiative “smart islands” for the development of a road map of actions towards the smartification of an island. We have classified in those key factors a number of

​

a) tools,

b) applications,

c) procedures, 

d) smart applications, 

e) examples and

f) practices

​

That may be used in the frame of a smartification process, such as:

​

• The Geographic Information System (GIS) of the municipality connected or integrated with the Information System of the municipality

• The municipal vehicles fleet navigation tools

• The management of the municipal property

• The water supply management

• The sewerage management

• The environmental management

• The municipal lights management

• The municipal roads network management

• The management of the municipal local markets

• The cultural and sport event management

• The schools infrastructure management

• The municipal image on the internet, communication and public relations

• The municipal e-government

• The telemedicine applications

• The paperless office environment

• Smart energy management

• Smart applications with drones

• Smart applications with sensors

• The information and data management concerning the tourists

• The information and data management concerning the coastal lines

• Smart applications for the municipal police

• Special applications (e.g. refugees management)

• Smart consumption (of energy, food, products) by citizens, enterprises, public services

• Smart solutions for a sustainable economy and not for a continuing economic growth

​

Each of those key factors constitutes a chapter in the actions guide/roadmap under development: “Towards to a smart sustainable Island: A guide for actions”. Each chapter has the same structure. We analyze the basic concepts, we give specific examples, we present some technological solutions and tools concerning the software and hardware, and finally we underline the parameters to take into consideration for a cost-benefit analysis.
