TRANSFORMING GOVERNMENT:WHAT MAKES A SMART VILLAGE SMART? A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
- Share to:
Purpose – Smart villages (SVs) have lately attracted considerable attention, but what does the term mean?
This literature review aims to explore its ambiguous nature and to identify main theoretical and practical
aspects to be further explored in the conceptualisation and implementation of these initiatives.
Design/methodology/approach – The analysis draws upon a review of 79 references from the grey and
academic literature on SVs, identified through a systematic search of academic databases and snowball
sampling.
Findings – This review highlights how the definition and characterisation of SVs is currently shaped by
disciplinary backgrounds and geographical contexts. SVs are often viewed as the rural version of smart cities
or an innovative model for rural development, but there has been little engagement in the literature with other
debates around rurality and sustainable development. It is only through engaging with these other debates
that a better understanding of the term will emerge.
Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper to conduct a systematic
review on SVs. In addition to identifying the main trends in the conceptualisations and design of these
initiatives, this paper contributes to the academic debate on smart rural development and provides useful
recommendations to both policy makers and practitioners.
