Smart City Technologies for Sustainable Rural Development

Abstract

Smart City technologies are increasingly coming to the population daily living. Smart City technologies provide efficient city services, as a central instrument of receiving various services for residents (energy and water supply, urban infrastructure, transportation etc.). The purpose of research is the definition of methodological approaches of a settlements development modelling. Methods include collation of local and foreign experience in modeling the territorial development of urban and rural settlements. Justification Pentagon-model used for such problems solution was shown. The systems/factors of a rural settlement sustainable development are based on a systematic analysis of existing development models of urban and rural settlements, as well as the authors-developed method for estimating the agro-towns development level. All this allowed to build the rural development model, which consists of five major systems: ecological system, economic system, administrative system, anthropogenic (physical) system and social system (supra-structure). As a results, the methodological approaches for building an estimating model of rural settlements development were revealed (Smart City concept, Pentagon concept). The basic motivation factors that provide communication systems were identified; the critical factors for each subsystem were devoted and substantiated. Such approach was justified by the composition of the tasks for spatial planning of the local and state level offices. The expediency of applying Smart City concept and the basic Pentagon-model that were successfully used in solving the analogous problems of sustainable development was shown.
