Smart Local Community initiatives in rural areas
Keywords:
smart local community, smart city applications, rural areaAbstract
The smart city solutions are more and more widespread known among the biggest cities of the world. The growing urbanisation requires new and innovative solutions to solve complex problems. In our work we present briefly the basics of the smart city concept. In our analysis (based on seconder and primer dates) we examined the main criteria of applying the smart city model in rural context. The goal of this recent research is to analyse the SMART index values and existing solutions across the Cserehát sample area and to formulate some suggestions (model and potential smart solutions) for the territory. In the Cserehát micro-region the main problems can be found in the smart business, and smart services subsystem according our model and the greatest potential is in the smart people dimension. According to the primer analysis (interviews and focus group) in this rural area relatively few smart solutions is functioning while in the future the use of some smart applications can be relevant also in rural context. These can be intelligent outdoor surveillance systems, smart solutions in the tourism, cloud-based education systems or smart grid and smart metering systems etc.
