Group No. 2
My group presented master plan about smart city concept that can be
developed in developing country, such as Indonesia or Thailand and education
game. The concept of smart city actually was based on the observation and our
experiment in PARE Summer School program. The smart city should have a good
transportation system, such as port, train and good road. Separation between
industry area, housing, central city, rural area (include agriculture,
aquaculture and livestock area) should be done to make a good mobility system.
Energy support also becomes the most important thing to fulfill the human
needed. Smart house and building that use solar panel can be one of the
solutions. The oil storage (like in Tomakomai city), hydro power plant, and
wind mill power plant can be developed too.
Smart City Master Plan |
As the food scientist, I can take a part in the food supply system and also
development in food industry. Primary food should be the priority to be
distributed to all of citizen. Good transportation between rural area (rice,
vegetable, fruit and meat producer) and the city (especially to the market)
should be developed well to ensure the food supply chain.
Development of food industry based on local resources is also important.
Sumatra island is rich of natural resources, such as coffee, palm, sugar cane,
banana, pineapple, shrimp, etc. Food processing product (instant coffee, sugar
and candy, canned fruit, palm oil, etc.) can be developed. This sector will
provide job for citizen and can increase the citizen income. The product also
can be a specific product that figured the area (such as Sumatra). A good
research about food product that establish from natural resources should be
establish.
Related to the master plan, food scientist can have the research about
functional food product from local resources. Such as development of Sumatra
origin coffee flavor. This research can be separated to be many parts. Starting
from evaluation of Sumatra’s coffee flavor, identification and quantification
of its aroma active compounds, and finally application of aroma in products.
Extraction of aroma compound using different method is important step. Different
polarity of absorbent in Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME) can absorb
different aroma molecules. To obtain whole information about aroma profile of
coffee, we can use at least 2 different absorbent (polar and non-polar
absorbents). Then, identification of aromas can be done by MS analysis. The last
step is omission test. In this test, we can obtain the most important compound (aroma
active compounds) that representative of Sumatra coffee flavor. These compounds
then can be used as flavoring in many products, such as bread, drink, candy, etc.
Knowledge about local wisdom (food) should be documented well to protect
national culture, and research could be the solution for it.
From PARE, especially Summer School program, I learnt that there should be
a dynamic, balancing and cooperation between human needed (include food,
industry, and energy) and the environment. Human activities (such as food
industry) that have the goal for improving human life quality (smart city
concept) must have the environmental consideration. Education for human is a
key for successful country development. How we use technology and energy wisely
to improve our life quality and at the same time maintain our environment is the
issue. The short message about eco-friendly living can be taught firstly to the
children (our proposed master plan).
Education Game for Eco-Friendly Habit |
Big hug from Sapporo and do really miss you all guys..So, let’s have a good life quality and peaceful environment by eco-friendly habit and big dreams.
