| Abstract | Around world across the countries, each government is responsible for facilitating public by providing civic facilities through local municipalities. Since these services will directly effect on the citizens life quality and also reflect the brighter face of the countries. Municipalities strive hard to continuously improve these services; it became one of the main concerns of developed nations. It is hard for municipalities to reach their target of high quality services and discover all problems without involving the citizens’ helping hand on this issue. Our project namely Smart System to Assist Citizens (SSAC) aims to resolve this issue in simpler way by enabling all citizens to assist municipalities using their smart devices. Our system aims to allow any citizen to report his\her observations and send any suggestions to the Municipality by using fast and easy communication channel by forwarding snapshot of affected area. Since one picture worth thousand words, our application uses the modern smart phone features such as enabling automatic extraction of GPS coordinates of the reported issue area. Municipalities can manage these issues throw the administration server. So, our project will involve the community in decision-making which will be a powerful technological engine for change in citizen’s life. |
