“…This can be proved when the success of the LEADER program in different western and eastern European countries has been discussed [31,46,48]. The idea of a smart village as a form of sustainable, smart rural development seems to be successful in less developed regions in eastern European countries [28,40,[68][69][70][71]. The study concludes that the selected regions and communities in Poland exhibit high differentiation of regions and commune's potential for smart, sustainable rural development.…”

In each country, rural areas cover the bulk of available land; however, they generally remain outside the mainstream of innovative development processes. Still, they have potential and are vital for implementing the highly valid concept of persistent and sustainable development. The idea of such growth can be implemented in many ways, and the smart development concept is one of these ways. The aim of this paper is to present the smart village concept as a means to achieve the sustainability and resilience of rural areas, relying on the analysis of basic theories of sustainable and persistent growth. The study examines and evaluates the state of the potential for the smart growth of rural areas in all regions of Poland, as well as presents the results of the empirical research on such potential in three regions of Eastern Poland. The smart growth potential of the regions in question was determined by means of 24 variables representing the following fields: management, life quality, economy, society, natural environment and mobility. It was concluded that the smart village concept can be useful in facilitating sustainable development of rural areas. Further research concerning the problem should in particular focus on strengthening the relations between rural communes with cities and towns in their close vicinity.

“…The concept of smart village development emphasises the role of grassroots activities undertaken by local leaders in cooperation with local governments, and the need to transfer innovation to rural areas from outside the local system, including from neighbouring towns. The Internet and other digital-communication technologies can play an important role in creating cooperation networks and preventing the social exclusion of members of various marginalised groups in rural communities [28]. The implementation of the concept of smart local development should contribute to and manifest itself in the emergence of local innovation systems developing on the basis of strengthening the cooperation networks of companies and institutions in specific sectors.…”

Peripheral regions exist in most European countries, and in the countries of the European Union they have been supported for many years by the Community’s Cohesion Policy, which aims at reducing development disparities between the Member States and regions within individual countries. In Poland, five out of sixteen voivodeships in the country are considered to be peripheral regions. They are located on Poland’s eastern border, which is also the eastern border of the European Union. Support programmes for these regions have attained the status of separate operational programmes, focusing on generating convergence effects, which can be achieved by increasing the level of innovation and implementing intelligent ways of operating the economy. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the essence of peripherality and the innovative-development potential of peripheral regions in Poland, as well as the potential of smart rural development. The paper is based on an analysis of research results drawn from the literature on the subject, as well as from official information and statistics. Own research on the smart village concept in three regions of Eastern Poland was also used. This research showed a reduction in disproportions in the development of regions in Poland, and a link between the level of innovation and the economic growth of the regions, which occurred with a certain lag in relation to the transfer of innovation.

“…Gyakran eltérők a tartalmi hangsúlyok is, habár a meghatározások közös metszete az innovatív, infokommunikációs technológiára épülő megoldások alkalmazása. Mindemellett kiemelkedő terület a lokális erőforrásokra támaszkodó energiatermelés, az információs technológiák mezőgazdaságban történő alkalmazása vagy épp a kreatív ipar szereplőinek vidékre való vonzása (Antonín & Milada, 2019). Az okos fejlesztések eltérő területi léptékeken történő alkalmazásának különbségei a tervezésben is tetten érhetők, mivel a városokban kiemelkedő tématerületek (mint pl.…”

Regional inequalities in Hungary, which have been conserved for decades, are well documented by human geography and regional science. However, changing policy frameworks, policy decisions, and finally, local decisions and value choices influence the development trajectories of regions that lean on new approaches. For example, the concept of smart settlements is a relatively new policy tool, which builds on the use of information-communication technology not only in urban, but also in rural areas. In this paper, we investigate the topic of smart rural development from a policy and regional development perspective, giving insights into the influencing factors of the spread of smart villages in Hungary, and how the actors interested in Hungarian rural development interpret the smart village concept. Based on qualitative analysis of expert interviews and online questionnaire survey, we describe what factors influence the feasibility of smart projects. We point out the shortcomings of technology-oriented, top-down, project-based development and planning practice, and building on our results, we provide policy recommendations.
