“…Often smart applications are not commensurate with the size of the settlements, and often focus on developments that already exist at national or global level. Sometimes the developed applications are already available from free or very affordable sources from already existing service providers (Szlávik et al 2016;Orosz & Péter 2018;Péter & Orosz 2019;).…”

Rural development is increasingly demanding the use of advanced technologies as a growing number of new challenges must be solved. While the main tasks in cities are to develop the quality of life of a significant number of people and to solve increasingly complicated tasks, in rural areas -in many cases -aging, the migration of the youth and the more difficult access to services (and in many cases their higher costs) are the most important problems. Basic IT infrastructures are usually available in the most rural areas (e.g. broadband Internet access), and the cost of Internet-connected devices has fallen compared with decades ago, so in theory it is easy to access for everyone, but the existence of 'hardware' is sometimes accompanied by a lack of necessary 'software'. I believe that one of the potential opportunities of rural areas can be the widespread use of smart solutions developed by densely populated areas but adaptable with inevitable modifications. In this study first I will examine the current situation of the 'smart solutions' in rural places and then I will discuss how such solutions can contribute to the development and resilience of rural areas.

The aim of this research paper is to explore the sustainable approach towards the management of public spaces. The paper is divided into seven sections. In the beginning, a discussion of why management of public spaces is generally an important subject is described by means of a literature review. The second part of the paper focuses on the value of public space, providing an overview of the benefits of, and roles played by, properly defined and planned public spaces. The third part of the paper presents a detailed discussion of the process of what is seen to be an innovative approach to the management of public spaces. Significant objectives are identified, in accordance with the new process of public space management, its impact, and synergies. In the fourth part, the research methodology is discussed. This section outlines the two approaches taken towards a case study of temporary use of public space in Slovakia and a survey exploring the success of the temporary approach.Finally, the outcome of the case study and results of the survey are outlined, highlighting interesting potential best practices regarding the temporary use of public spaces. The results of the case study suggest that the planning of public spaces plays a significant role in the cities; consequently, the creation of public spaces must be considered as one of the most important aspects when analysing strategies towards sustainable urban development.

“…Goal 12 of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's), namely "Responsible Consumption and Production" has attracted a remarkable level of interest in recent years (Szlávik et al, 2005). It requires that both businesses and consumers pay more attention to environmental considerations, focusing on long-term sustainability that is viewed as including the sustainable management and use of natural resources, the responsible management of chemicals and waste, and sustainable lifestyles (Kőszeghy, 2004).…”

The environmentally conscious consumption of fashion products promotes the preservation of natural ecosystems for current and future generations. It may include the purchasing and use of textile products made from organic and sustainable materials, the repair, reuse and recycling of textile products, and the concept of slow fashion. The environmental aspects of fashion products have drawn the attention of both researchers and practitioners in recent years. As a result, many scientific papers have accumulated regarding this vital aspect of consumer behaviour. This paper aims to provide an overview of the literature regarding consumer behaviour toward green fashion products, as well as to uncover and categorise significant driving factors, and in addition, identify the most critical barriers. After identifying the relevant literature, the study examines 104 articles published between 2011 to 2021 in high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarly journals. Our results demonstrate that while most of the reviewed articles employ a quantitative survey questionnaire method to identify the drivers of green textile consumption, qualitative approaches are also used. Most authors utilise the theory of planned behaviour as a foundation of their research. This paper summarises the research problems covered by the selected articles, the theoretical frameworks, the methods used, and their essential findings. We also outline existing research gaps and suggest potential directions for future research. Since there are only a few review articles on green fashion consumption, our article provides an important new addition to the literature for the reference of future scholars.
