University of Cumberlands
Analytical Centers in the Russian Federation
3
University of Cumberlands
First generation of analytical systems for policy making
1970s –Chile
Engaged stakeholders at all levels
Nearly the same time
Soviet Union
Nationwide automated system –OGAS
When the Soviet Union dissolved
Russian Federation continued work in analytics
Developed Analytic Centers, each with specific focus
Situational centers
4
University of Cumberlands
Research matured in analytics
Centers began to focus on classes of issues
Situational centers emerged
Analytics focused on specific government functions
Share goal is to handle big data
Most stored data is not used
Situational centers attempt to use previously unused data
State Automated System “Administration”
5
University of Cumberlands
Unified distribution of government data
Collection and analysis
Includes
Classic BI processing
OLAP processing
Advanced analytics
Supports decision making in government
Three level structure
Central
Departmental
Regional
Other Policy-Making Tools and Techniques

Situational centers
Not integrated into decision making
Currently mainly used in crisis situations
Capabilities not leveraged
Underutilized
Limited funding for further research
Centers are capable, but are not being utilize

University of Cumberlands
Sustainable urban governance
How can IT encourage sustainable urban development?
Many previous projects were monolithic
Technical controls OR •
Technical sensors
EU’s 2007 Energy Policy
Combat climate change
Limit EU’s vulnerability to imported hydrocarbons
Promote growth and jobs
Multiple projects that incorporate measurement and control
ICT Enablers of Energy Efficiency

University of Cumberlands
Integrating Energy Efficiency and Urban Sustainability
Northern Europe
Strong commitment to green energy and sustainability
Especially Finland
Amsterdam Sustainability Index (ASI)
Metrics to measure urban sustainability and energy efficiency
ASI metrics
Energy savings
Mobility and air quality
Sustainable innovative economy
Materials and consumers
Case study 2
13
University of Cumberlands
The Dutch Kadaster
Land Registry and Mapping Agency
Priority in planning
50% of Netherlands land area is below sea level
Concern over rising sea levels make land use planning critical
Energy Performance Building Directive (EPBD)
Requires energy label for all construction, sale, rental transactions
Goal is to reduce energy use of all properties
Case study 3
University of Cumberlands
14
The Solar Atlas of Berlin
Goal is to increase efficient use of energy
Main objectives
Display locations of existing solar installations
Visualize potential of the solar industry
Highlight rooftops suitable for solar panels
Overall goal is to best utilize solar power
3D modeling helps in visualizing data
Case study 4
The Sicilian ‘Carta del Sole’
In English: ‘Facing the Sun’
Southern Europe generally lags when pursuing efficient sustainable energy
Sicily has generally been a difficult place to implement energy policy
Slow for residents to adopt solar energy
However, the most modern solar power production facility in Europe is based here
Challenge is to increase public support for alternative energy sources
