“…From a geographical perspective, our data analysis demonstrated a vast concentration of activity in urban areas, which is no surprise considering the advanced infrastructure for information and communication technologies in cities [70,71] as well as the hub's locations in urban areas. At the same time, many sustainability challenges in Africa are drawing on structures in rural areas and highlight digital solutions for agriculture or energy systems [72,73]. We, therefore, evaluate the trend of digital technology being shaped, developed and concentrated in urban areas as an interesting field for future research to determine how this sharp contrast of production and implementation environment affects sustainability outcomes.…”

The number of scholars working on transition concepts in the Global South is rapidly increasing. In this context, a substantial amount of research output particularly focusses on niches and how they affect transition towards sustainability in a wider framework of the multi-level-perspective. At the same time, there is a growing interest in digital technology and its effect on sustainability challenges. In this article, we combine the two fields, and by utilizing social media data, we create an innovative network science approach to analyze the production environment of digital innovations in Africa. We focus on three innovation hubs that we conceptualize as niches and innovation intermediaries that not only create communities to develop, test and implement new technology but also function as networks to discuss and form new ideas around innovations. Our key findings show how local communities are embedded in larger innovation structures. The connections between local stakeholders and global actors are predominantly created through bridge actors, who hold key positions in their communities. With tools from network science, we demonstrate that these linking elements can regulate and steer discussions and therefore, strongly influence digital niche environments. Utilizing geographical location data, we can also see that the online space of technological innovations in Africa is heavily cantered in urban areas.

“…The initiative of smart village which rapidly flourishes and becomes a new trend in Indonesia is relevant to the new paradigm of integrated rural development. A smart rural is not only relying its' growth on agricultural commodities, but also multidevelopment activities on the basis of agriculture/farming, for instance entrepreneurship, technology, business, energy, tourism (Anderson et al, 2017;Fennell et al, 2018;Prinsloo et al, 2017;Shukla, 2016). A smart rural is associated with both community as agricultural producers and community as entrepreneurs, innovators, selfempowered and resilient people (McManus et al, 2012;Phahlamohlaka et al, 2014;Ristianti, 2016).…”

Rural development is a social process. It involves local community in all stages of development. Community dialog is a means for facilitating community involvement in determining a development direction, potential development plan and development sus-tainability in the future. Frequently, local community is considered as the development target. This position puts them just being development watchers, spectators, silent and passive recipients. Moreover, these silent roles make them remain unempowered since they do not know how to determine their future, how to take part in collective decision and feel being neglected. This study examines potentials of community involvement in dialog. A qualitative research paradigm is adopted. The data are collected byrecording, transcribing and analyzing community dialog at Klagen, Nganjuk, Jawa Timur. The study finds that community dialog offers considerable potentials. The first potential of community dialog is generating local community commitment, awareness, sense of belongingness and supportive character to build their own homeland. These positive development psychological states,characters and ethos are soft human dimensions which can be critical drivers in rural development. The second is creation of local knowledge and scientific knowledge joint enabling innovation and collective learning process. This joint-knowledge allows the combination of local wisdom and scientific insight. The third is building shared or collective development vision and plan. This plan and vision allow the development prioritizing process and development of rural strength, potential competitive advantage and resource building. The fourth is expanding rural networking and exercising rural people capacity to build wider internal and external social relationship.

The authors would like to thank the DSR technical and financial support. ABSTRACT I-energy and its applications used in the smart grid are chosen as attractive research issues due to their widespread applications in the smart home. In this vein, the optimization of energy demand in smart home appliances, in a smart grid, is considered the main challenge faced by power companies during peak periods regarding its considerable effect on the global power system stabilities. Therefore, this paper aims to show explicitly the performance of smart grid on electricity and hydrogen applications with reused communication methods. To facilitate the understanding of the communication-reused methods in the smart grid, several components are identified and presented in terms of improvements, benefits and lack of features. In the smart grid, most innovation communications are being used as wireline and wireless bundle, where the main features are aggregated. Indeed, reducing consumers' electricity bills in smart home electrical systems relies on increasing the relationship between the highest energy demand and annual energy use. The most appropriate research has been reviewed on optimization approaches discussing the smart home electric system. The examined methods are categorized into trustworthy and metaheuristic algorithms. INDEX TERMS Smart home, I-energy concept, hydrogen-renewable energy system, smart meter, smart grid, risk management, demand-side management, AMI.
