“…Performing a hierarchy analysis, every expert's ratings were processed individually and then summarised, and global priority vector values were calculated for every criterion. The overall indicators allowed constructing an integral vision on the formation and development of a smart territory in Latgale region (Zvirbule et al, 2016;Šipilova et al, 2017b).…”

“…The methodology and some methods of the EU ESPON project were used as well (ESPON, 2013). The new typology was created based on the processes of regional development (Šipilova et al, 2017a, 2017bZvirbule et al, 2016).…”

“…The AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method (Saaty, 1990;Zvirbule et al, 2016) and experts representing various spheres were used for every region. Mathematical and statistical methods: correlation analysis, which reveal the link between the regional population dynamics (the dependent variable) and the key variables in different combinations in municipalities depending on the data on the regional development process.…”

“…For this reason, researchers in Latvia have increasingly focused on examining a smart specialisation strategy for small rural territories in Latvia (e.g. Zvirbule et al, 2016;Šipilova et al, 2017a, 2017bKreslins and Stefenberga, 2016;Melbarde and Ore, 2016).…”

Rural areas are significantly affected by spatial vulnerability, the digital gap, depopulation, and population ageing. Marginalized populations are seeking collective well-being, social inclusion, and local development in smart villages, an increasingly important area of interest for scholars and practitioners as well as rural areas and communities. This article attempts to highlight the dominant trends in smart villages planning and depict the characteristics of Greek rural areas and populations alongside the implemented localized smart actions. To achieve this aim, the research utilized the existing literature through bibliometric analysis by extracting data from the Web of Science database. Building upon the bibliometrics, the research focused on identifying localized implemented interventions in the Greek rural areas. The results suggest that innovation, knowledge, growth, and management appear to impact rural smart planning, while the limited interventions of smart villages in Greece focus on social innovation and local development. The study argues that in Greece, a single holistic smart villages model cannot be proposed, due to the country’s geographical and demographical variability. The proposed trends, though, can be implemented locally to encourage rural development and population inclusion; therefore it is recommended to increase local stakeholders’ awareness and active engagement.

Nowadays, much interest is devoted to the use of inno-vative (or wise) methods in assessing regional development. Rural areas have particular importance in ensuring sustainable development of any state; moreover, smart approache sto the assessment of regional development potential helpdetermining common trends in the socio-economic development of the state as a whole. The present study shows the possibility of an integrated use of quantitative and qualitative methods in the assessment of the sustainable development of latgale region (Eastern latvia). The assessment was carried out within the framework of the project 5.2. of the national research program EKOSOC-LV. The quantitative assessment was based on scientific and practical experience taking into consideration the peculiarities of the development of Latvian regions and districts and resulted in the establishment of an integrated index (smart Development index), which comprises four dimensions – Resources, Population, Economy, and Management. The qualitative assessment was based on the viewpoints concerning the cornerstones of smart specializa- tion and the factors influencing it expressed by experts rep- resenting the state administration, business and scientific en- vironment. Expert opinions were collected by using the AHP method. The results of the research can contribute to the development of a scientifically grounded state and regional policy that reveals the full potential of smart development of rural areas, taking into account the rate of the regional so- cio-economic development. The case and the methodology of the present study can also be interpolated to other regions experiencing the need for creating an integrated, scientifi- cally grounded, balanced and sustainable policy of regional development. The research is supported by the state Research pro- gramme 5.2. “Economy transformation, smart development, management and legal framework for the sustainable devel- opment of the state and the society – new approaches in the development of sustainable knowledge society (EKOSOC-LV)”
