The "Fuerteventura Open i-Sland" initiative is a project of the Island Council of Fuerteventura selected as a beneficiary of the "I Call for Intelligent Islands" within the framework of the Digital Agenda for Spain. It is developed through a collaboration agreement with RED.ES, a public business entity of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation and is co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) through the Smart Growth Operational Program (POCInt).
The objective of the "I Call for Smart Islands" is to promote projects that integrate the smart island strategy, contribute to the improvement of public services in the territory and are aimed at mitigating the negative effects of insularity, through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
The "Fuerteventura Open i-Sland" project aims to modernize and improve digital public services and the insular public administration, targeting citizens and companies, rationalizing their operating expenses and reducing their environmental footprint.
It also intends to create the first data processing center and a shared management model for island-wide digital services, where all public administrations will work together. This action will allow improvements in management and cost reduction, while optimizing energy consumption, reducing the environmental footprint and CO2 emissions, and improving the image of a sustainable tourist destination in line with the declaration of Fuerteventura as a Reserve of the Biosphere and as a UNESCO Starlight Reserve.
The initiative is led by the Cabildo de Fuerteventura, in collaboration with all the town councils on the island (Antigua, Betancuria, La Oliva, Pájara, Puerto del Rosario and Tuineje), the private sector and other economic and social agents.
The "Fuerteventura Open i-Sland" initiative aims to make this island a more intelligent territory, promoting the development of a coordinated set of actions, through the use of ICT. Its purposes are the following:
- Develop valuable digital infrastructures, products and services. They will be usable, open, accessible, efficient, sustainable, interoperable, scalable, secure and satisfactory to citizens, visitors and companies. In this way it will improve the quality of life of citizens and the competitiveness of companies.
- Make possible a more effective and efficient allocation of public resources.
- Reduce the environmental footprint of public administrations.
- Promote technology-based island entrepreneurial activity.
Among the components foreseen in the “Fuerteventura Open i-Sland” initiative is Component 5: Mobile Application for Communications with the Citizen.
The objective of this component is to develop and make available to the public a mobile application as a new channel for disseminating island information. The application displays information organized in the following sections:
- Island government.
- News.
- Diary.
- Citizen participation.
- Heritage.
- Services
- Environment.
The application has the possibility of receiving push notifications that allow effective communication of topics of interest by the Administration. Likewise, it has a functionality that allows the communication of incidents on public roads to the different island administrations, thus contributing to citizen participation and collaboration with the local administration.
