“…A hand search was performed and led to the collection of 444 journal articles (Table 3).

Territorial and Human Geography Challenges: How Can Smart Villages Support Rural Development and Population Inclusion?

Rural areas are significantly affected by spatial vulnerability, the digital gap, depopulation, and population ageing. Marginalized populations are seeking collective well-being, social inclusion, and local development in smart villages, an increasingly important area of interest for scholars and practitioners as well as rural areas and communities. This article attempts to highlight the dominant trends in smart villages planning and depict the characteristics of Greek rural areas and populations alongside the implemented localized smart actions. To achieve this aim, the research utilized the existing literature through bibliometric analysis by extracting data from the Web of Science database. Building upon the bibliometrics, the research focused on identifying localized implemented interventions in the Greek rural areas. The results suggest that innovation, knowledge, growth, and management appear to impact rural smart planning, while the limited interventions of smart villages in Greece focus on social innovation and local development. The study argues that in Greece, a single holistic smart villages model cannot be proposed, due to the country’s geographical and demographical variability. The proposed trends, though, can be implemented locally to encourage rural development and population inclusion; therefore it is recommended to increase local stakeholders’ awareness and active engagement.

“…Despite the strong representation of the "smartness" concept applied to non-urban spaces in contemporary scientific discourse (Grimes 2003;Akca et al 2007;Spoor 2011;Kitchin 2015;Navío-Marco et al 2020), it is worth underlining that the threat of digital exclusion affects mainly rural inhabitants (Kaleta 2016). Industrial society has brought economic development but has not counteracted the historical inequalities in access to such resources as education, health care, culture, work and participation in power, which negatively affects the quality of life (Kaleta 2016).…”

The objective of this study is to identify the current state of, and the prospects for, information and communication technologies (ICT) dissemination in rural areas in Ukraine in juxtaposition with other post-transition countries. The spread of ICT is discussed within the frame of economic, infrastructural, and social factors affecting rural areas in Ukraine since the post-communist transition period. Information and communication technologies may support the socio-economic development of peripheral areas in many ways—including rural ones. Dissemination of ICT contributes to the emergence of sources of income, equalizes education opportunities, and increases the attractiveness of rural areas. However, the rural—urban divide in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and other former USSR countries is still remarkable and, as a type of structural inequality, should be better recognized. The source material is based on secondary data, which consists of selected literature on the subject of rural development in Central and Eastern European Countries, strategic documents, available reports and studies of international institutions, research from agencies, state documents and statistics, and research conducted by international and domestic NGOs. In reference to the paper’s objective, the method of content analysis was employed. Dissemination of ICT in rural areas in Ukraine is influenced by two groups of factors. The infrastructural divide concerning Internet access between rural and urban populations in Ukraine has been diminishing, but the issue of structural exclusion due to place of residence has still not been solved. As far as the social aspects of ICT dissemination in rural areas in Ukraine are concerned, the level of digital literacy among rural dwellers is significantly lower in comparison to urban residents. Rural areas are more exposed to the consequences of various aspects of digital exclusion.

“…Una de las aproximaciones teóricas recientes a esta problemática, originada en la Unión Europea, está basada en el concepto de territorios inteligentes. Un territorio inteligente se define como un espacio geográfico, rural o urbano, cuyo objetivo es resolver problemas públicos mediante soluciones de base tecnológica en el marco de una asociación entre múltiples agentes de diferentes sectores económicos (Navío-Marco et al, 2020). No obstante, el concepto de territorio desde la concepción de Navío-Marco et al (2020) podría transcender la idea reduccionista y estática de un mero espacio físico dado y retomar los enfoques de la perspectiva territorial del desarrollo rural, adoptada en la política rural de la Unión Europea (Medeiros and Rauhut, 2020;Sánchez-Zamora et al, 2014).…”
