Why should you use ISO 37156?
Community infrastructure provides convenience for urban residents. Therefore, the scientific and effective management of community infrastructure is crucial. It affects the living conditions of citizens, the efficiency of the social economy and the ecological safety of the community. Poor management of community infrastructure causes problems such as environmental pollution, traffic congestion, inadequate urban resources and a weak urban lifeline system. It is incompatible with sustainable development.
ISO 37156 aims to improve community infrastructure services by exchanging and sharing data between the various government departments. ISO 37156 acts as a reference for you and other entities who have a responsibility or need to share data from community infrastructure. ISO 37156 gives you appropriate approaches to the exchange, monitor, share, and maintain community infrastructure services. ISO 37156 provides you with a set of community infrastructure data governance methods and a unified framework of community infrastructure data exchange and sharing. ISO 37156 shares this data while maintaining privacy and security principles.
