“…Most probably the analysis of exercised practices would reveal the even smaller interest of Polish municipalities in integrated projects. In fact, our studies confirmed the negligible interest of regional and local authorities in Poland in new concepts of local development addressing present challenges (silver economy, sustainable development) [6,66]. Despite the human-and demand-driven approach towards smart cities that we advocate and the need to analyze the perspective of recipients of smart and age-friendly community projects, we have not considered actual expectations and needs of older adults.…”

In the face of the dynamic ageing of local communities, smart cities and smart villages programs should seek to ensure meeting the needs of the elderly and promoting solutions tailored to their computer literacy, digital skills, and perception capabilities. In this context we propose to approach local smart and age-friendly communities initiatives in a way that would provide responses to two contemporary megatrends: digitalization and demographic transition. We assumed that the deployment of such initiatives in local planning and governance depends on at least two conditions: demand for smart everyday products and services represented by older adults and the perspective of the local decision-makers. The paper aims to examine whether the smart city/smart village idea focused on meeting the needs of the elderly and seeking to shape age-friendly local communities and the environment could be implemented in the municipalities in Poland. The analysis of the elderly Poles’ capabilities to absorb the ICT solutions demonstrated that the smart and age-friendly community approach may face implementation difficulties, especially in the oldest groups of the Polish rural population. Results of the quantitative study conducted in 1236 municipalities revealed that local authorities perceive local policy goals, such as pursuing smart and age-friendly development as low priority ones. A citizen-centered approach of village heads and mayors to the local policy is critical for integrating these two priorities of being smart and age-friendly.

“…That said, it is not portrayed in the categories of opportunities and chances, but rather as a source of difficulties. The answer to this challenge is the development of the silver economy at the local level [89][90][91]. In line with the concept of the silver economy, the growing proportion of elderly people in the population translates into an increase in the aggregate purchasing power of older consumers, which can be used as a stimulus for local development.…”

This article undertakes the research problem of the assessment of the significance of poverty as a social challenge for local self-government units, and the differences in the assessment of the incidence of this phenomenon depending on the type of municipality. The authors also analyse the relationships between the ageing of the population and the assessment of the extent of poverty by municipalities. It must be pointed out that the undertaken problem has not been a subject of in-depth analysis thus far. Hence, this article fills the identified research gap in this field. The empirical part is based on the results of our own research, conducted using the Computer-Assisted Web Interview (CAWI) method on a sample of 144 municipalities of the Małopolskie Voivodship (Poland). In order to verify whether there is a relationship between the researched qualitative variables, the chi-square test of independence was used. In order to determine the relationships occurring between the categories of variables characterising the scale of the incidence of poverty and the remaining variables, a correspondence analysis was conducted. The research enabled us to find the issue of poverty to be one of the most important social problems from the point of view of municipalities. It is also worth noting that the degree of ageing in the population has an impact on the assessment of poverty among the elderly.

Silver economy (economia prateada) trata do envelhecimento da população. Ela reflete no desenvolvimento do empreendedorismo, na promoção e comercialização de produtos e serviços inovadores destinados aos consumidores idosos. Este trabalho tem a finalidade de analisar e caracterizar o conteúdo científico sobre a Silver economy entre os anos de 2011 a 2021. A metodologia aplicada se configura como: pesquisa básica, quantitativa, exploratória e descritiva. A estratégia de pesquisa empregada para quantificar as atividades científicas foi a aplicação de técnicas bibliométricas com extração de dados das bases Scopus e Web of Science. Foram selecionados 118 trabalhos e analisadas as seguintes dimensões: autores e sua produtividade; a relação das citações entre as bases de dados e tipos de produção científica; e a conexão dos periódicos com as instituições afiliadas. A partir dos resultados é possível constatar que a Silver Economy ainda é uma área com poucos trabalhos e com grande potencial de exploração. O maior número de publicações ocorre de 2016 a 2019, sendo esse último ano o de maior frequência absoluta da série histórica. Também foi apurado que houve um encolhimento da produção acadêmica nos anos de 2020 e 2021. A partir dos achados, conclui-se que este estudo possibilitou a compreensão do contexto acadêmico apresentando inéditas características em torno do progresso literário da economia prateada.
