ANAGRAMA JOBS-NEARBY – A CASE STUDY FOR A SMART CITY
Abstract
With an estimated figure of 10 billion people by 2050, from which about 70% are or will be living in the cities, it is obvious that the current infrastructure will be overloaded. As cities grow and expand their services, governance and management are becoming more and more complex. As a consequence, cities need to be adapted to address the social, economic, engineering, governmental and environmental challenges of these transformations. The cities need to become smart to properly face the challenges. Even if the implementation costs are high, the smart cities increases the economic standards in a medium-long term, reduces energy consumption, reduces transport costs and traffic values and increases quality of life. The paper presents Jobs-NearBy, a solution by which the local job market gets a fast and flexible tool to connect job-seekers and enterprises that are hiring in real-time. Job offers can be displayed on a map, filtered by your location, skills or payment. The optional Community-Profiles allow to bookmark or share interesting offers and provide an individual profile of participating job-seekers and enterprises.
