“…Studies, such as reducing energy consumption in the home and generating solar energy, have proposed models of self-sustainability that can lead to a remarkable transformation into SVs [6]. The proposed SV models show that with their level of self-sustainability and traditional lifestyle, rural areas become relatively safer compared to urban areas [7].…”

We are going through a period in which the concept of the smart village (SV) is a novelty for the management of a community, and the new smart economy of the village is based on the power of community support. Appropriately, the development of a SV is related to a family’s participation in the motivation and access to education, the increase in knowledge of information technology, information and communications technology (ICT) literacy, and also in the creation of facilities for research and development (R&D). The partnership between the public administration, the private sector, and the community heads will lead to a smart economy within the village. At the same time, the intervention of the food system to support climate change can be supported by intelligent agriculture. The SV has a strong social significance; research in the field can be multidisciplinary, including human nutrition, climate change, and community education. This paper aims to X-ray the research areas of the SV from a multidisciplinary sense, in support of the partnership with the community, and to identify the main directions of strategic development. In total, 368 pieces of research on SVs from the last ten years were analyzed through bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer software, doubled by the co-occurrence of keywords and the bibliometric combination of documents, followed by a systematic review of the literature. The research undertaken was intended to contribute to the development of research for SVs, with the analysis of identified clusters. The results obtained will have a special contribution at the SV level through strategic and research proposals and suggest that the most important strategic and research directions for SVs focus on community education, its satiety, as well as several environmental and social changes generated by SVs.

“…Evidence suggests that these specific approaches perform differently in availability (e.g., producers, consumers and government budgets), public access and effectiveness (e.g., synchronizing emission reduction, food and nutrition security and cost efficiency) [46] . Among technologies and practices for climate-smart agriculture (CSA), good agricultural practices (GAP) and carbon pricing schemes show promise and efficiency in building climate-resilient food systems in East and South-east Asian countries [56][57][58] . Recent practices also indicate opportunities and looming challenges for expanding proactive approaches.…”

“…While ICTs and digitalization have large possibilities in traceability and monitoring along the post-harvest procedures, gaps in financing and relevant institutional surroundings are considerable. A cross-country evaluation of experiences expanding location-specific climate-smart agriculture models (e.g., climate-smart villages) in ASEAN recommends that, starting with knowledge sharing, then mainstreaming the tested interventions into government policies, and ending up sustaining efficiency with proper market strategies [57] .…”

However, standards vary between countries and regions.…”

COVID-19 and climate change are widely recognized to negatively impact communities in developing countries. Like several other developing countries, Indonesia also dealt with climatic hazards such as flooding and landslides during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, after the Paris Agreement was signed, the government launched a “Climate Village” program or Kampung Iklim (ProKlim) to enhance community contribution in addressing climatic hazard impacts. Yet, numerous studies have researched integrating COVID-19 and climate change impacts, which calls for a concept of community resilience. To bridge this gap, the objective of this research is to understand and measure the local adaptation and mitigation activities in ProKlim through the smart village concept. Methodological literature review, situation analysis through interviews, and field observations are applied in this study. This research used five indicators to measure the current situation of the Climate Village, which are: resilience, mobility, community, perspectives and digitalization. The findings reveal that the implementation of smart villages in ProKlim is still in its preliminary stages and must seek innovation and system integration from smart cities and smart communities. This research also suggests feasible strategies to build community resilience: (i) collaborative governance in the Climate Village program implementation, (ii) promoting the Climate Village program to other sectors for ICT, and (iii) strengthening community participation in implementing the smart village concept.
