Internet das coisas no Brasil: a comunicação nos processos interativos das cidades inteligentes

Abstract

This research aims to understand the complex digital innovation ecosystem of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology related to Smart Cities under the bias of communication. This research is based on statistical data and applied models of Smart Cities, one of the priority areas of Brazil in the IoT sector, under the suggested guidelines of the Action Plan (BNDES/ MCTIC) and the National IoT Plan (PNIoT), to promote actions through government public policies, in order to investigate the usability of IoT in the national scenario. We presuppose that the innovation provided has problems for its implementation in Brazil. We conclude that despite the various studies, consortia, plans and governmental initiatives existing in the country, there is one more desire with initial and timid actions, by some public sectors, agencies, entities and associations than concrete actions that confirm its real effectiveness for the implementation of IoT and the transformation cities in smart. The goal is to understand the applications, compare them and seek to understand, if possible, how they expand or produce new interactive communication processes generating benefits to the population. In this sense, for the precepts of Smart Cities to be implemented satisfactorily, promoting concrete improvements a communicational study to reflect the needs of contemporary society is necessary. It must be structured based on our cultural, social, economic, territorial and technological innovation diversity, aiming at the national development scenario. In addition, for the success of the implementation is necessary to be receptive to innovation through a prepared and conscious population to live in this connected space. This thesis is based on Maldonado Trans-methodology Theory (2010). Since the research crosses the areas of communication, information technology and engineering, it requires a mixture of methods and techniques to meet the necessary demands for its realization, such as the concepts of media ecology - by Postman (2015), the precepts of communication ecology and related theories covering issues related to the technological environment under the reflexes in human communication.
