Development of Smart Rural Village Indicators in Line With Industry 4.0

Abstract

In 1950, approximately 1.8 billion lived in rural areas and subsequently, rural population growth averaged 1.0 per cent per year, with the result that the rural population nearly doubled, reaching 3.4 billion in 2018 and is expected to peak in 2021 at just over 3.4 billion. Rural villages are lacking behind urban areas when it come to the stages of industrial revolutions and societal development with respect to technological advancement. Today, the world is faced with the new wave of advanced technological revolution called Industry 4.0. Despite the impressive work being implemented successfully to create smart cities and smart villages in various countries, there are still no developed standard indicators that can be used to define smart rural village concept. The objective of the study is to develop indicators for smart rural villages aligned with Industry 4.0 technologies using systematic literature review, the 2030 agenda for sustainable development, as well as the ISO 37122, smart cities indicator's standard. The translation method developed prioritized indicators according to sustainability, smartness and connectivity from the Information and Communication Technology. The main contribution is the method and indicators developed over 2-year period for smart rural villages. The resulting indicators makes it possible to answer what a smart rural village is: village that has access to affordable energy, adequate housing, safe drinking water, an inquisitive rural culture, early warning systems against adverse weather conditions, against drinking water pollution as well as the predictable schedule for local doctor, taxi/bus.

Measuring Achievement of Sustainable Development Goals in Rural Area: A Case Study of Sukamantri Village in Bogor District, West Java, Indonesia

“…Therefore, conventional patterns (old traditions) in carrying out village development must be abandoned. The village development must go through two ways: first, village development is carried out by using the precise, accurate, and actual data based on the results of research and studies conducted by government agencies, Educational institutions, and Civil Society Organizations (CSO) (Sampean, Wahyuni, and Sjaf 2019); and second, it is carried out by using a smart system that integrates infrastructure development and public services based on the use of technology and information (Maja, Meyer, and Von Solms 2020). The results of this elaboration were used to design the Smart Precision Village (SPV).…”

“…The SV concept is a concept that adopts Smart City by utilizing information and technology networks, as well as digitization. (Maja et al 2020;Zavratnik, Kos, and Duh 2018).…”

“…SV development must consider the conditions of the community and social culture. This concept was developed by Maja et al (2020) by using the term Smart Rural Village (SRV) which emphasizes improving the quality of life of rural communities. The difference between SPV from the previous concept is that SPV is designed from the results of research, collaboration with the community, and digitization in building villages that consider ecology and the sustainability of community culture.…”
