Flix Actiu

App designed to improve the municipality through citizen participation.

Flix Actiu is an application for SmartPhones with native Android technology aimed at the citizen, with the aim of providing a direct communication channel with the local administration through an easy, simple and free product to be able to report possible incidents in the city.

This application, due to its characteristics, is aligned with the current trends of Open Government, citizen participation and municipal transparency.

The Open Government is a change of model in public administrations, a new way of governing and working from the municipal organization. Bet on an open, more transparent and accessible city government that recognizes the wisdom of society and is able to connect the capacities of organizations and citizens.

It is a model where the administration informs, opens its knowledge, listens to citizens, talks with it and seeks their collaboration, encouraging greater use of new technologies. The Open Government is based on three main principles: Transparency, Participation and Collaboration.

Currently, cities depend not only on their provision of physical infrastructure ("physical capital"), but also and increasingly, on their availability and quality of knowledge communication and social infrastructure ("intellectual and social capital") that they have This last form of capital is decisive for urban competitiveness. It is in this context that the concept of "smart city" (smart or digital city) has been introduced as a strategic element to encompass the factors of modern urban production in a common framework and to highlight the growing importance of the technologies of the Information and Communication (ICT), social capital and the environment, in the profile of the competitiveness of cities.

It is in this sense that many cities (often small and medium) are added to this tendency to want to be an "intelligent city".
