Internet city label

LABEL VILLE INTERNET, 5@ FOR THE TOWN OF SAINT-AVOLD

WHAT IS IT?

The label is based on an in-depth assessment of local digital and Internet policies, using a detailed questionnaire that is updated each year to take account of new developments. The label rewards innovation, political will and the effectiveness of IT and communications services in delivering real services to local residents.

For the second year running (2018, 2019), the 5@ internet city label has been awarded to the town of Saint-Avold! The winners of the 20th national label Territoires, Villes et Villages Internet, were unveiled on January 29, 2019 at the Grande Arche Paris La Défense. 

ACTIONS DEVELOPED WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THIS LABEL :

  • Public Wifi project available in 2018, covering the hyper-center (Parc Municipal, Rue Hirshauer, Place de la Victoire, nautical complex (outdoor), as well as the Hôtel de Ville parking lot).
  • A new website has been set up at www.monsainta.fr, enabling constituents to reserve biometric passports and national identity cards online, as well as request birth and death certificates, etc., for even more online services.
  • CytiZen", a mobile application currently in its final testing phase, is designed to encourage citizen action through geo-localized incident reporting.
    Available for the android and iOS platforms, it will enable residents to report incidents occurring within the municipality, or simply to find out about them. The aim is to strengthen and facilitate communication between residents and municipal staff, in order to target and respond more quickly and effectively to incidents encountered.
  • A new website will also be available later this year, in line with the latest innovations in terms of readability and compatibility with a responsive design mode (tablet and smartphone compatibility).
  • Setting up interactive whiteboards in schools and obtaining tablets for mobile classrooms.
  • The deployment of fiber optics for all citizens.
  • In-house creation of a cloud hosted on secure servers at Saint-Avold town hall, available to municipal staff who need to share large files for professional purposes.
