Applying blockchain technology to control flooding
【Published by . NPF | Editor: Wang Jian Quan | Translator: Statecraft 】
It is still remembered that on August 23, 2018, heavy rain that hit the roads and industries of Chiayi, Tainan, Kaohsiung, and Pingtung, brought inconvenience and security concerns to the people’s lives, once again highlighted Taiwan’s vulnerability to the polar climate. In addition, politicians from different parties shirked their responsibilities: the opposition party slammed the government for investing hundreds of billions of flood control and water control in the past decade, but it still ravaged the floods and flooded the water. Conversely, the ruling party blamed the polar climate and the lack of funding.
In theory, water control needs to invest in a certain scale of budget (that is, the “least efficiency scale” in economics), in order to play its role, but the water budget and project are also the most easily handled and ignored, and more budgetary investment, Once the heavy rains and floods have broken through, the floods have broken through the project, and all the bones are gone, and there is no need to accept them. The truth is never known. The “handle content” held by different parties in the ruling and opposition parties is also increasing.
Day after day, year after year, the political slogan has hurt the people, but we can’t let the old thinking of politicians harm Taiwan’s infrastructure, squander the budget, and deceive the people. The ready-made new technology-blockchain is the technology and platform that the public can use to supervise the stakeholders, the budget of the upper, middle and lower reaches of the budget, the budget flow, and the future acceptance and inspection.
The blockchain is an anti-counterfeiting technology for cryptocurrencies. The blockchain is an innovative application through network and computer technology. Its essence is a new, decentralized protocol with traceability to securely store transactions or other data. Because it does not require any centralization agency audit, it greatly reduces the trust cost and accounting cost of the real economy. Each participant can record through the classified account. The map has the truth, cannot be updated, falsified, and can only be added. Through the records of the participants, the historical data is accumulated, and no one can clarify the responsibility in the future.
As for how to apply blockchain technology to disaster prevention projects? First, the blockchain should define the participants (central, local contractors, big packages, middle packages, small packages, small package manufacturers, etc.). Secondly, the public associations and the public can use the miners to observe and record on the Internet, play the supervisory function, understand the project participants and the flow of funds, and thus obtain the cryptocurrency of public welfare. Finally, the acceptance and use of the project should be included in the record.
The government’s water control budget must force all units to register their information on the Internet in detail. If they cannot link to the relevant platform or find a bad record, they can cancel their future bidding qualifications. From upstream manufacturers to small packages, small packages and small packages. Inclusion. People and public interest groups can monitor the government through platforms, such as reporting bad manufacturers, false records, and getting incentives for cryptocurrencies.
The problems that the government must overcome are: First, the system operation resources, including the central, county and city level information management and scheduling of human resources are insufficient to solve, and the central and county-level data use and management relationship are clarified. Second, the lack of infrastructure resources to strengthen the local data centers of central and local governments; at the same time, the availability of existing sources and the accuracy to be confirmed. There is also a synergy mechanism between county and city government administrators and IT staff. Third, establish management resources, including whether smart applications outside the government management system have operational possibilities, sufficient system maintenance personnel, and the subsequent improvement of specific application index systems.
This is not only used in disaster prevention but also widely used in food safety. For example, through the use of blockchains, commodity chains (agriculture, processing, access, etc.) that pass from the center to the place can be traced more quickly to the source of food problems. This will not only help reduce consumer risk, improve security, but also reduce financial losses through targeted recalls. The seller of the food can attach the label connected to the Internet of Things to the goods, each batch of goods is assigned a unique identification number, and the source code, processing information, storage temperature, and shelf life of the product are recorded through these identification codes.
Second, in the area of citizen participation, blockchain ID verification solutions are provided for ordinary citizens, employers, higher education administrators and governments to streamline citizen participation and identification processes. The platform allows users to digitally verify personal education and professional information, giving users complete control over their digital information and easily sharing important identity data directly with potential employers, institutions or businesses as needed to avoid degrees, credits, and job qualifications… In addition, for those who cannot get the identity immediately, the identification should be planned.
Furthermore, the government wants to build a sense of accomplishment of citizen participation and the convenience of citizens’ lives, and it can use the technology of blockchain to enhance its sense of sensitivity. If this is not the case, the Government will set up a “sense-to-do” delivery platform and issue “citizen currency”. Every citizen can have the ability to solve problems on the platform proposed by the government or the public (such as food safety, disaster prevention, energy conservation, etc.) ). Once resolved, the weighted “currency value” is deposited on the “citizen currency”, or the government can define how to obtain the citizen currency (greening, energy conservation, disaster prevention efforts). Citizens’ currency is irreversible, and the government can reward citizens through cryptocurrency.
The new technology applications are being developed. It is really not arbitrarily dictated by politicians and let them be corrupt for decades. The younger generation and the general public should make good use of blockchain technology to supervise the government. In addition to disaster prevention and food safety, it should be applied to all large and small projects. In this way, Taiwan will become the first blockchain application country in Asia, and make the project transparent and strengthen the people’s sense of participation. Taiwan’s public works, food safety upgrades will be just around the corner!
