Smart campus: uma proposta de planejamento para migração de um campus tradicional para um campus inteligente

Abstract

In recent years, the development of studies and projects for cities has started, with the objective of meeting the demands of growth and the need to create more environmentally sustainable solutions, allied to technological progress. The concept of Smart Cities emerged, which is related to the sensitivity and interaction of urban space with its users and systems, with some variations in its definition by different authors. This concept later gave rise to interest in more restricted environments, but no less complex, such as university campuses. Smart actions, whether urban, in universities, or in other environments, is related to the integration and availability of information (of the space, or what happens in it), to the encouragement of innovation, and the effective participation of its users. Therefore, one of the characteristics of a Smart Campus is that its activities must encourage innovation and development, not only in the physical space but also among the university's public. The general objective of this research was to elaborate a model of organization and implementation of the transition project from a traditional Campus to an intelligent Campus. For the development of the model, a bibliographic review of the topics covered was used and for the study of UFBA as an example of application, the method of the project by scenarios was used. Despite the many challenges that the development, deployment, and maintenance of a smart campus demands, its benefits are clear. More efficient use of limited or scarce resources, integration of different departments (reducing the bureaucracy currently needed), and support for university management. It is necessary to have an overview of the system, covering people and facilities. As a contribution, this research developed a Technological Maturity Model for Smart Campus enabling it to classify universities and plan their development.
