Life changing technology
On weekends, Mr. Dinh Van Hin, Head of Ta Lang Village (Hoa Bac Commune, Hoa Vang District), concurrently Head of the Community Digital Technology Team and Project 06 of the village, along with 7 members of the team, "go to every alley, knock on every door" to promote digital transformation to everyone. Holding a smartphone in hand, the team members demonstrate how to do it, while also supporting people in looking up information, integrating the VNeID electronic identification application, and using the online public service portal.
“Just a few years ago, digital technology was still unfamiliar to everyone here, but now most people in the commune know how to use it. More specifically, people actively promote products on social networks and cashless payment applications. Our people are supported by the government with smartphones, helping them update official news and entertainment more conveniently. Thanks to that, children in families can also study online, search for study materials and lectures on the internet,” said Mr. Hin.
According to the People's Committee of Hoa Vang district, up to now, residential areas and service points in the district have covered 100% of the 4G network and broadcast 17 5G stations. From here, it has helped people in areas with difficult conditions to access information quickly, meeting the needs to promote socio-economic development.
The district has coordinated with telecommunications enterprises to support smartphones for poor and near-poor households, helping to achieve a high rate of total population having smartphones. At the same time, a fixed broadband fiber optic cable system has been established to villages, ensuring that 100% of households have access to high-speed broadband internet fiber optic cable services when needed; 100% of village cultural houses have free wifi...
It can be said that technology has "infiltrated" every corner thanks to the Community Digital Technology Team and Project 06 - the main force implementing the tasks of instructing basic, specific, and practical skills to the people. Through the Community Digital Technology Teams and Project 06, people have seized the opportunity to participate in the digital transformation process, contributing to promoting the transformation process to take place strongly.
To adapt and develop, many traditional markets in the city are gradually combining tradition and modernity to meet the increasing needs of consumers in the digital age. Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong, a souvenir and handicraft stall vendor (Han Market) said that she and many other vendors in the market have equipped QR codes for payment at the counter, and posted sales posts on social networking sites and e-commerce platforms.
Ms. Phuong shared: “The digital age is developing strongly, so we have to adapt promptly. If we cannot keep up with this shopping trend, the store will probably have difficulty surviving. Along with traditional business, I am also guided by associations and organizations on how to use technology equipment, how to livestream (stream online)... to sell products through digital platforms.”
Promoting technology, digital transformation
As a leading locality in information technology in the district and county sectors for many consecutive years, Thanh Khe district has promoted comprehensive digital transformation in all three pillars: digital government, digital economy and digital society. With the project "Developing applications of data on population, identification and electronic authentication to serve national digital transformation in the period of 2022-2025, with a vision to 2030", the District People's Committee has issued many documents to deploy, urge, and launch peak periods to guide people to install, activate and use electronic identification accounts; as a result, 166,039 electronic identification records were collected and 133,713 accounts were activated.
At the same time, the locality also focuses on preserving and promoting the value of cultural heritage. The District People's Committee digitizes two national relics, Mother Nhu's house and Thac Gian communal house. In the field of education, 36/36 public schools in the district have implemented cashless finance through banking applications, e-wallets or specialized management software...
Meanwhile, Son Tra District People's Committee is the locality that has led the administrative reform rankings for two consecutive years (2022-2023) in the district and county block. To achieve the above results, the District People's Committee has implemented the project to develop data applications on population, identification and electronic authentication, serving the national digital transformation in the period of 2022-2025, with a vision to 2030. In addition, the timely and complete updating of monthly "one-stop" data, the list of late appointments, the reasons for late appointments, etc. are 100% guaranteed by the District People's Committee and the wards.
Accordingly, the rate of administrative procedures providing online public services of the district is 100%. According to the survey, nearly 100% of people's evaluation votes are satisfied on the Online Public Service Portal. To increase the efficiency of using online public services and digitize records, the district aims to deploy at least 2 new open data categories, ensuring that 100% of state agencies develop and provide open data according to the city's open data category to serve people and businesses, promoting innovation based on data.
According to the Department of Information and Communications (now the Department of Science and Technology), in recent times, the city has implemented digital transformation and built a smart city, approaching it through three axes: infrastructure - data - smart applications. Of which: policies and architectural frameworks for orientation; infrastructure and data as foundation; smart applications with people and businesses at the center to evaluate effectiveness.
With a data-based decision-making model, Da Nang has implemented many good practices and solutions in providing online public services, in which the highlight is the application of data analysis tools to detect administrative procedure records that are about to expire, early warning for agencies, units, and localities to proactively handle them promptly, avoiding delays, with 100% of administrative procedure records that are about to expire returning results to agencies and units. Compared to 2023, the rate of overdue records in 2024 decreased from 2.63% to 0.27%. In addition, building a digital society with the core subject of digital citizens is a key and decisive factor.
“In 2024, Da Nang will issue a Digital Competency Framework for Citizens, gathering specific criteria on knowledge, skills and attitudes; helping people to participate proactively, effectively, safely, continuously exchange, interact and learn in the digital environment. Currently, nearly 50% of adults in the city have digital citizen accounts, 20% have personal digital signatures and digital data warehouses; 99% of households have smartphones.
In 2025, the city will focus resources on developing a Digital Transformation project to promote and create momentum for the city's socio-economic development in the 2026-2030 period, with a vision to 2035; deploy the construction of an Integrated Center for Controlling the Resilience of Green and Smart Urban Areas in Da Nang to serve disaster prevention in a smart direction; build platforms. At the same time, the city will implement specific mechanisms and policies to develop the fields of semiconductors and artificial intelligence, and innovation in the city," said Mr. Tran Ngoc Thach, Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology.
It can be said that Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation is an important "compass" for Da Nang to be able to break through and become the leading center of innovation and digital transformation in the country.
The city aims to be in the top 5 provinces and cities nationwide and the top cities in Southeast Asia in terms of scientific, technological and innovation potential by 2030. The digital transformation index, e-government development, network information security and semiconductor design, and local artificial intelligence applications are in the top 3 provinces and cities nationwide; the local innovation index PII is in the top 5 provinces and cities nationwide. These are strategic tasks, creating a premise for the city's sustainable development.
