Measuring Light Pollution in the Night Sky – From Technology Demonstrator to Monitoring System

Pollution of the night sky by artificial light has now become an important element of the modern city landscape. The decline in the quality of the sky observed at night in urban areas has already been noticed even by residents unaware of its origin. A starry sky is nowadays not easy to observe even in places far from large conurbations or smaller cities. More and more places are losing access to the previously natural privilege of observing the dark sky, and their inhabitants are thus systematically exposed to all the direct and indirect negative effects of this phenomenon. Monitoring the brightness of the night sky is gaining interest from a growing number of interdisciplinary research groups being established around the world, including Poland. In Toruń, the first measurements of the magnitude of this phenomenon, together with the determination of its spatial scale, were started using handheld devices in 2017. In the following years, efforts were made to improve the data acquisition process by creating a prototype – a technology demonstrator and, consequently, a commercial version of an automatic device measuring the surface brightness of the night sky. This paper presents the stages of the project aimed at developing a light pollution monitoring system, which has been consistently implemented in Toruń. The most important component of this system is a measuring device of our own design and construction. The monitoring system designed and operating in Toruń, starting in 2019, is being further developed with new components and monitoring (measurement) sites being systematically added, making the city’s observation network increasingly dense. The devices built using the LoRa standard for wireless data exchange implement the concept of the Internet of Things, fitting in with the objectives of a smart city.

Purpose: The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has caused a revolution in human resource management in all organizations. Particularly important from a social point of view, changes have occurred in the organization of work and human resource management (HRM) in public institutions providing services to the public. On the one hand, it was necessary to secure the work of these entities so that the continuity of their work was maintained. On the other hand, the possibility of contamination of employees had to be limited. For this reason, Smart City solutions were started to regulate contacts between employees and between employees and customers. The aim of the article is an attempt to state whether the changes introduced in the HRM process in selected city offices in Poland were an expression of social responsibility, contributed to the improvement of the quality of work of officials and customer service of these offices. Design/methodology/approach: The research allowing for this answer was carried out on the basis of the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) method, and the sample in the research were employees of selected city offices. Research limitations/implications: It was found that the CSI method can be used equally effectively in the satisfaction of external and internal customers. Practical and social implications: The conducted study allowed for the conclusion that the assessment of the quality of intelligent solutions related to the area of social responsibility undertaken as part of human resource management was assessed by the respondents at an average level. Originality/value: The original element of the study on the basis of which the article was prepared was the use of the CSI method to survey employee satisfaction with work based on Smart City solutions.
