32 p. his edition of the EAFRD Projects Brochure profiles 12 participatory social and digital initiatives that are enhancing rural service delivery. The source of these innovative initiatives varies – sometimes it is the village community itself (Braemar, Scotland), sometimes it is the municipality or an association of municipalities (the village hub in Beveren, Flanders). In others, it is a research institute (German 'digital villages') or the private sector (Portuguese 'digital villages'). However, in all cases, local communities play a central role. The examples cover six key service areas – multi-service hubs, health, education, mobility, energy and digitisation of the village itself. On their own, they can make a major impact on the quality of life in rural areas. Taken together, they can provide inspiring examples and food for thought for the much wider concept of 'Smart Villages' specialized Mcglynn, Derek ; European Commission, Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development Tecnologías habilitadoras digitales Digital Technology Impact of Information Technology Innovation Municipality Rural Development 978-92-79-85647-1 2529-5012 https://publications.europa.eu/en/web/eu-law-and-publications/publication-detail/-/publication/87e93597-7e6e-11e8-ac6a-01aa75ed71a1 https://publications.europa.eu/en/web/eu-law-and-publications/publication-detail/-/publication/87e93597-7e6e-11e8-ac6a-01aa75ed71a1 181219 20240117080309.0 00004846
