The basic connotation and development directions of smart territory
Nowadays,China is vigorously promoting digital transformation and pursuing high-quality development,thereby elevating the standards for digitization and application in natural resource management and territorial space governance.While notable progress has been achieved,challenges persist in business integration,technical support,system synergy,and fostering further development.These challenges are underscored by deficiencies in high-quality information,advanced analytical capabilities,and enabling technologies.To address these issues,the novel concept of smart territory emerges as a novel approach to coordinate digital development and promote intelligent applications.This paper delves into the essence of smart territory,which constitutes an organic combination of spatiotemporal and digital intelligence technologies with national spatial governance.It establishes a"data-information-knowledge"three-layer system architecture consisting of a realistic three-dimensional national spatial database,a national spatial information management platform,and national spatial knowledge services.From a technical implementation perspective,we should coordinate the development of digitalization.This paper proposes a streamlined approach of"data-information-knowledge"to support the coordination of digital development in territorial space.This involves constructing an integrated model,facilitating collective management,and delivering knowledge-based services.Specifically,this entails establishing a unified national spatial information model,aggregating data across various natural resource sectors,building a systematic,comprehensive,and secure database,and establishing a data governance mechanism emphasizing collaborative construction,sharing,and governance.Subsequently,a unified national spatial information management platform is erected to support integrated management of spatiotemporal information and the seamless integration and reuse of common functions.Furthermore,by deeply integrating digital technology with national spatial governance business,tailored knowledge services are constructed to provide precise data supply guarantees,transiting from"what is given"to"what is needed".In terms of application implementation,the focus is on advancing intelligent applications through digital technologies.Leveraging methods like comprehensive dynamic perception,systematic accurate cognition,and domain-wide intelligent control,smart territory aims at promoting the high-standards and intelligence in natural resource management and territorial space governance.This includes activities such as 3-D real scene assessment,spatiotemporal information communication,and decision-making informed by spatiotemporal knowledge.This aims to support high-level spatiotemporal analysis and achieve high-level spatiotemporal empowerment.To build up a digital ecosystem for territorial space governance and bolster institutional and operational capacities,it is pivotal to enhance overarching design,foster the innovation of science and technology,conduct pilot showcases,and deepen reforms in specialized areas.This is a massive spatiotemporal information project that concerns the overall landscape,holds long-term significance,involves a wide range of content,poses technical challenges,and spans a considerable duration.It deserves high regard,steady promotion,and practical implementation.This requires collaborative cooperation among various professional fields of natural resource systems,as well as leveraging the strength of technology fields such as artificial intelligence,Internet of Things,big data,and relevant departments such as water conservancy,urban-rural construction,and development and reform.Proactive promotion of interdisciplinary cooperation and effective execution are imperative to realize the construction and application of China's smart territory.
