Smart villages, a chance to develop small villages

Abstract

The problem of small settlements is a current problem. The fight against their depopulation is continuous and recurrent. In the present study, I will outline a somewhat futuristic development option that is still in its infancy in Hungary. Smart villages have become an option for urban development in the last 5-6 years, but rather I will explore different smart options to improve the situation of villages. They could be made more attractive to young people. There are a lot of problems in the implementation itself, as in our country the primary development would have to be invested in infrastructure in order to make smart village development feasible. Though there are already smart village developments at national level, both in agriculture and tourism. I am looking into the situation of e-government, various smart options, and of course I am also looking at how similar efforts have already been implemented abroad. The final result would be the creation of the smart area itself, which is a future-oriented endeavour. One of the engines of development could even be the revival of small regions, as this would also support community building, and where there is a community, there will be aspiration. To make these eco-village developments more widespread, you need a local community with a vision, a plan for the future, creativity, commitment and commitment to sustainability, this way development could be achieved.
