Abstract

In recent times, the digitalization of urban areas has got considerable attention from the public. As a side effect, there has also been great interest in the digitalization of the rural world or the so-called Smart Villages. Smart Villages refer to the improvement of infrastructure management and planning to fight against depopulation and low population density as well as the cuts and centralization of services supported by digitalization efforts. In this work, we present our research to build a framework for the analysis of data generated around the project Smart Villages, which is a joint effort to digitalize rural areas in the context of the Alpine Space. Our goal is to build a system to help local authorities to pilot a smooth transition into this new concept of the village.
