Abstract

Highlights: Digitalization of village with ICT Technologies for sustainable infrastructure. Renewable energy should be established in early stage of building smart village. Connectivity is a key factor in developing and implementing smart villages. AI is combined with fog and edge computing to make decisions in real time. Abstract: The United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda makes it clear that growth and sustainable management are not confined to cities, but also to those living in rural and villages. In addition, the villages are the heart of every nation, the villages not only support and maintain the geological ecosystem but also have a great impact on the economic and social ecosystem. Currently, digital technologies have had a big influence on smart cities in terms of digitalization, and with the same motivation, these technologies may also help to build the digital and smart village. In this study, we present a detailed discussion of the implementation of smart and digital villages with different new digital technologies. In addition, we also present the possible enhancements in the village with the digitized village concept. From the discussion on the smart village, it is concluded that digitization is only possible if a reliable and robust network and communication infrastructure is installed in the village area.
