The development of philosophy has spawned a new type of interpersonal relationship, namely network community. As the main group of network applications, college students are an important part of the network community. Different from traditional thinking, community philosophical thinking has the remarkable characteristics of “equality, interaction, openness, and cooperation.” In the new media environment, we should fully learn from and learn philosophical thinking, carry out mechanism innovation, and form a “decentralized” network education community system; create a borderless network “education ecology”; build a network education model integrating “self-education” and “peer education”; promote the upgrading of network education mechanism from “one-way traffic” to “interactive participation”; and innovate the education mechanism in four aspects, so as to better meet the requirements of Education under the new media environment and improve the effect at the same time. Facing the era environment of philosophy and technology, the community environment should rely on the network community to study the innovation path. This paper first analyzes the connotation and characteristics of the online community, then discusses the innovation mechanism and communication significance of philosophical thinking based on the online community, and finally summarizes the innovation path of philosophical thinking based on the online community. By combing the impact and challenges brought by philosophy, this paper analyzes the necessity and importance of constructing innovation mechanisms under philosophical thinking, explains the rationality and superiority of innovation mechanisms under philosophical thinking, and puts forward some suggestions on constructing innovation mechanisms and communication path.

“…Some of the small to medium-sized cities where such programmes have been deployed (such as Alba Iulia, Suceava and Vaslui) benefitted from contextual European Union programmes and these cities got involved in a one-time initiative aiming at the revival of potential historical or cultural heritage. Manika [ 36 ] also found that in the case of smart cities, the European Union public procurement legislative framework encourages the deployment of innovation and sets the scene for a more strategic procurement for smart cities.…”

The role of smart cities in order to improve older people’s quality of life, sustainability and opportunities, accessibility, mobility, and connectivity is increasing and acknowledged in public policy and private sector strategies in countries all over the world. Smart cities are one of the technological-driven initiatives that may help create an age-friendly city. Few research studies have analysed emerging countries in terms of their national strategies on smart or age-friendly cities. In this study, Romania which is predicted to become one of the most ageing countries in the European Union is used as a case study. Through document analysis, current initiatives at the local, regional, and national level addressing the issue of smart and age-friendly cities in Romania are investigated. In addition, a case study is presented to indicate possible ways of the smart cities initiatives to target and involve older adults. The role of different stakeholders is analysed in terms of whether initiatives are fragmentary or sustainable over time, and the importance of some key factors, such as private–public partnerships and transnational bodies. The results are discussed revealing the particularities of the smart cities initiatives in Romania in the time frame 2012–2020, which to date, have limited connection to the age-friendly cities agenda. Based on the findings, a set of recommendations are formulated to move the agenda forward.

“…Technology, therefore, acts as a catalyst for growth, promotes education and local business opportunities, improves health and well-being, strengthens democratic commitment, provides environmental prosperity, and strengthens rural people (Ranade et al 2015). At the same time, the European Union encourages innovation, for example, through innovative procurement, as an important tool for smart areas to improve the efficiency of public services (Manika 2020b).…”

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.
