What is a digital community?

The informatization of Chinese cities, communities and families is developing rapidly. More and more local governments have made informatization a new theme of urban development.

With the acceleration of urbanization, industrialization and informatization in China, and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the demand for safe, efficient, comfortable, and convenient digital office, e-commerce, and smart homes by the government, enterprises, individuals, and families has increased dramatically. Large-scale smart buildings, online communities and digital city construction are in the ascendant. Informatization of cities and communities is becoming a key driving force for promoting urban economic growth, improving productivity and overall competitiveness, and accelerating urban modernization. In recent years, various high-end communities and smart communities have emerged in various places. However, these so-called smart communities are mostly conceptual hype, not really intelligent or digital communities.

So, what is the real digital community? Let us look at the basic definition of the digital community by the relevant functional departments of the Ministry of Construction: The digital community uses modern sensing technology, digital information processing technology, digital communication technology, computer technology, multimedia technology and network technology to realize various information in the community. Collection, processing, transmission, display and highly integrated sharing realize the automation and intelligent monitoring of various electromechanical equipment and security equipment in communities and families, and realize the safety, comfort and efficiency of community life and work. Digital community is the unit node of digital city, and the construction of digital community is the foundation of digital city construction.
