Green city based industry 4.0 through Smart Urban Farming through IoT (SUFI) in Surabaya, Indonesia

Abstract

Major cities of the world have realized the importance of developing green-minded cities as part of dealing with global climate change. The concept of urban farming as one of the offer solutions that comes with a method of agricultural activities in the city by utilizing limited areas, such as the Surabaya area. as a busy city and a dense road traffic activity is one of the challenges of the Surabaya region in developing green space based on Regional Regulation number 7 of 2002 concerning the management of green open spaces. On the other hand, the development of information and communication technology has stepped in the industrial era 4.0, one of which is the presence of Internet of Things (IoT) technology based on Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. The method used in this paper is descriptive qualitative and experimental-based product development. The focus area of the analysis is the implementation of Regional Regulation 7/2002 and its implementation in the field, while the proposed product development is monitoring environmental parameters such as plant temperature, ambient humidity, soil moisture level and light intensity processed for automation control of urban agricultural irrigation. The results show that the Surabaya city government has consistently implemented the local regulation through various activities and is supported by all components of Surabaya residents, while the IoT-based product development shows that this technology can be applied and accepted by the Surabaya urban farming community.
