ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT AS ONE OF THE SMART CITIES INDICATORS

The article discusses the concept of implementing a smart city from a practical point of view on the example of the Siberian Federal District (SFD). The key direction of the concept is the organization of a comfortable environment for the population, which can be expressed in reducing the anthropogenic load on the city’s ecology, in controlling the placement and disposal of production and consumption waste. The implementation of digital solutions in urban and municipal infrastructure is possible with the coordinated actions of the state and private business. The need to create unified urban databases on municipal solid waste (MSW) storage sites is due to the annual growth in the volume of production and consumption waste in all regions of the SFD. To solve the problem of reloading landfills in the regions, it is proposed to use laser scanning methods that create objects with a high density of points. These methods allow you to remotely monitor the status of the area of the waste disposal facilities. The LoRaWan wireless system can be installed as an effective tool for regulating the volume of garbage being moved. This will optimize the amount of payments to regional operators for the transportation and disposal of MSW. The article proposes a smart environment management model that includes a number of measurable variables: the number of people living on the territory, the amount of tariffs for garbage removal, the costs of regional operators for the removal, transportation and disposal of waste of various hazard classes, the amount of penalties for unauthorized placement of MSW, the number of landfills intended for burial, their actual area, the volume of generated, disposed and neutralized production and consumption waste. This model will make it possible to measure and predict changes in the environmental quality of large urban agglomerations.
