1. Smart government is an advanced stage of the development of government information
The concept of informatization of government affairs refers to a brand-new governance model in which state agencies fully apply modern information technology, network technology, and office automation technology in their government affairs activities for office, management, and public services for the society.
In recent years, with the in-depth development of Internet technology, great progress has been made in the informatization of government affairs. Since the beginning of the new century, a new generation of information technology represented by blockchain, artificial intelligence, big data, and data science has accelerated breakthrough applications, which has greatly promoted the development of social productivity, reshaped production relations, and profoundly changed the government and the market. , Social relations.
In the new era, the concept of "smart government" came into being. Smart government is an advanced stage of the development of government informationization. It emphasizes the government structure as a platform and uses it as a basis to realize the public value shaping of the government, the market, and the society.
2. "Data islands" are an obstacle to building a smart government
In the early e-government period of the development of government information technology, most of the government’s system construction was built independently according to the business needs of different departments. Each department built a set of Internet government system independently, resulting in the network infrastructure, business system, Data resources are in a fragmented and fragmented state, and there is no standard and unified data structure and data interface, which makes it difficult for the government system to share data and business collaboration across departments.
The circulation and sharing of government data is the only way to realize smart government. The existence of "data islands" makes it difficult to circulate and share data among different departments, and increases the difficulty of subsequent business collaboration, data collection, analysis, and utilization. my country has deeply realized the obstacles of the "data island" problem to the realization of smart government, and has introduced relevant policies and measures to promote the solution of the "data island" problem.
3. Blockchain helps the construction of smart cities
As one of the most promising technologies in recent years, blockchain technology has received widespread attention from countries all over the world. On October 24, 2019, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee conducted the 18th collective study on the development status and trends of blockchain technology. Xi Jinping presided over the study and delivered an important speech. Among them, for blockchain government affairs, Xi Jinping made meticulous deployment, "Explore the use of blockchain data sharing mode, realize the cross-departmental and cross-regional joint maintenance and utilization of government affairs data, promote collaborative business management, and deepen the reform of "at most one run". Bring better government service experience to the people."
In fact, blockchain can empower the informatization of government affairs from multiple levels and directions, and help achieve the great goal of smart government.
4. Blockchain opens up the “data island” of government affairs and deepens the reform of “run at most once”
Blockchain is based on peer-to-peer distributed accounting technology, consensus mechanism, asymmetric encryption algorithm, smart contract and other technologies. It can establish a strong foundation of trust for all parties involved, link all parties on the chain, and provide the benefits of all parties on the chain. Trusted data interaction provides technical support. The introduction of blockchain technology in the reform of government informationization can realize the authorization and sharing of government data, business collaboration, and consolidate the foundation of smart government.
In practice, the blockchain realizes data confirmation, control information calculation, personalized security encryption, etc. in the process of government data sharing by setting up blockchain nodes in various government departments. Utilize the "trustless" feature of the blockchain to open up government data islands and provide a technical foundation for the original departmental data authorization sharing and business collaboration.
5. In practice, the design of the public network and private network of the Blockchain Service Network (BSN) will actually help the construction of smart cities
Blockchain-based Service Network (hereinafter referred to as “service network” or “BSN”) is a cross-cloud service, cross-portal, and cross-bottom framework for the deployment and operation of blockchain applications globally The public infrastructure network was jointly initiated by the National Information Center, China Mobile Communications Corporation, China UnionPay Co., Ltd. and others.
The Blockchain Service Network (BSN) openly provides developers with the most convenient and high-quality public resource environment for the development and deployment of blockchain applications. However, many industries still need local area networks or private networks to run their informatization applications, especially in the fields of government affairs, finance, electric power, and justice.
At present, the BSN government affairs private network has been successfully deployed on the Hangzhou City Brain Platform. With its rapid development, deployment and cost advantages, it completed the "urban management road information and contribution management", "hotel disinfection management", and "1 call point management" in just one week. Multiple applications such as "run at most once internally" are on the chain.
6. Changsha Smart City clearly builds Hunan Blockchain Service Network (BSN)
On September 27, 2020, the Changsha Municipal Government made clear in the "Changsha Municipal People's Government on Accelerating the Construction of a New Type of Smart City Model City" that the construction of a new type of smart city is an important engine for the city's high-quality economic and social development.
Use the new generation of information technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, big data, and 5G to build a smart city and digital economic system in Changsha in an all-round way. Among them, the "Decision" clearly proposed the construction of the Hunan Blockchain Service Network (BSN) to promote the development of blockchain applications and industrial innovation. Build a dedicated blockchain government network, improve blockchain government application support capabilities, and realize cross-departmental and cross-system joint maintenance and utilization of government data. Create a blockchain capability platform with centralized operations, standardized operations, and visualized management, and improve the capabilities of blockchain applications and industrial smart management.
to sum up
In summary, empowering the construction of smart government and smart city in the form of a blockchain service network (BSN) will effectively solve the problem of "data islands" in the government system. The design of BSN public network and private network realizes the joint maintenance and utilization of government data across departments, regions, and levels, and flexibly realizes the credible authorization and sharing of data within the internal and external networks.
