Concept of Konan Ward Digital Promotion

Konan Ward has been selected as a model district for the Digital Ward Office in the Yokohama DX Strategy, and is actively promoting digitalization with the aim of becoming a "warm digital Konan*."

1 Digital that allows residents to feel "convenient"
　We will take on the challenge of improving the convenience of administrative services.
2 Digital that supports regional exchange and activities
　We will utilize digital technology to support people who are active in the community.
3 Digital employees can feel "business improvement and efficiency"
　Create time and increase time to face the inhabitants of the ward.

Konan Ward's goal of digital transformation is described as "warm digital Konan." When you hear digital, some people get an inorganic and cold impression, but Konan Ward intends to increase the time to face residents by improving the convenience of residents and improving the efficiency of ward office operations with the power of digital technology and to realize a warmer ward office.

• Due to the delay in digitalization, it is difficult to work regardless of location or organization, such as supporting work in response to infectious diseases.
• It is difficult to respond to the transmission of information that is updated daily, such as COVID-19 vaccination, using paper media.
• Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become difficult to hold real projects such as collective events and lectures that have been held so far.

In addition to firmly addressing infectious disease countermeasures, which are urgent issues, the organization focuses on child care support, education, DX, and decarbonization.

Promoting DX in Yokohama with the aim of "providing the benefits of digital to all citizens and communities and creating attractive cities."

As a model ward, the first four years (Reiwa 4-Reiwa 7) in earnest will be positioned as the “First Step” to achieve the target, and residents, local residents and staff will consider and try initiatives that can realize the benefits of digitalization on three themes.

We will pursue the convenience of inhabitants of a ward, such as utilizing digital for consultation and information provision and promoting online administrative procedures.

Through digitalization, we will support the digitalization of the region by reducing the burden on people working in regions that are partners of the community development through collaboration.

We will use digital to improve operational efficiency and foster an organizational culture that is positive for transformation.
