Abstract Currently, in the globalized rural world, different socioeconomic orientations coexist that affect the usual consideration of the rural community. The rural community is currently a contested and debated concept. In the context of smart villages it is possible to relocate and rebuild the traditional concept of rural community. Usually, especially in geographic literature, the notion of community has been present in political and academic debate. The (social) community has had its spatial expression associated with locality and its cultural dimension articulated with identity. This traditionally closed notion of community associated with a local space and community and an agrarian economy of the place can be definitively transformed in the context of smart villages. In the current debate, smart cities and towns are linked in regional and spatial approach, where urban and rural categories are complementary. The notion of a smart village can host the idea of a standardization of the (rural) community, but it can also give it originality in the form of community implantation, orientation and local governance. Smart towns are part of broader concepts of smart communities through the participation of local populations and the adaptation of ICTs to the social, economic and organizational characteristics of each (rural) community. It can generate a more inclusive and cohesive community, but it can also reinforce processes of socioeconomic exclusion and marginalization of the most vulnerable populations. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
