The Internet of People or IoP is one of the technologies that is currently being actively considered in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
The Internet of People (IoP) is actually related to the communication between people and various electronic devices that are connected in the Internet. In this approach, the person is placed as the center of attention and instead of the devices communicating with each other to do their work, in IoP the devices communicate with the person and connect to each other through him.
The Internet of People IoP includes concepts such as social networking, Internet of Things (IoT), user experience, cloud, data analytics, and information security.
As IoP is focused on the individual, instead of data being collected in bulk, personal information is used to improve the user experience. Examples of IoP applications include smart health systems, smart transportation systems, and sports programs aimed at improving people's health and life.
Smart city development using IoP
People's Internet of Things (IoP) can be used as one of the main technologies in the development of a smart city. In fact, in a smart city, various technologies are used to improve the lives of citizens and communication between people and urban systems.
The Internet of People or IoP can be considered as a key factor in the development of the smart city due to the connection between people and electronic devices.
For example, using this technology, public transportation systems, emergency systems, parking systems, etc. can be directly connected with citizens.
This will improve the user experience of citizens and increase the efficiency of urban systems. Also, IoP in the smart city can be used in other fields such as improving health systems, waste management, traffic control, etc.
With this approach, city managers in the development and management of smart cities try to improve the lives of citizens, prosper the economy and preserve the environment by using new technologies and advanced technologies.
