“…The notion of the smart village refers to the realignment of the geographical focus of a smart city towards a localized community consisting of distinct entities. The smart village seeks to improve the viability of activities and the overall quality of life in rural areas by integrating and employing cutting-edge technologies [44]. Smart villages are often regarded as the rural counterpart of smart cities or an innovative rural growth framework [45].…”

Economic development has slowed dramatically in several countries during the COVID-19 pandemic, like in Indonesia. Bali Province was one of the regions that was severely affected. Due to its reliance on the tourism industry, Bali had the most significant negative growth. It is time for Bali and other regions to develop the potential of a locally-based, sustainable, and resilient economy to enhance the people’s welfare. Improving the community’s welfare can be done with the synergy of various entities—the synergy created by integrating programs in Banjar with microfinance to develop microenterprises. The main objective of this research is to ascertain the framework’s dimensions and components. Furthermore, the relationships between these dimensions or elements have been determined. Based on the findings, the two primary objectives were completed. This procedure has produced the Smart Banjar framework as a theoretical solution to enhance people’s welfare. This research created the information communication technology (ICT) adoption framework that uses the TOE theory as its theoretical basis. The Advisory Board serves as the environmental context for formulating policies. The policy will regulate governance to realize the synergy between microenterprises, microfinance, and Banjar in the organizational context. ICT adoption, including ICT infrastructure, ICT services, and ICT literacy, will support and optimize the synergy. Further investigation is required to ascertain the Advisory Board's specific constituents. Additional studies are needed to implement ICT, obtain empirical evidence, and prove its ability to improve people's welfare.

“…The complementary relationship between community-assisted "co-assistance" places and public service facilities has been studied [55] from a human geography relationship perspective, investigating the impact of population mobility and geographical space on public service facilities and proposing optimization strategies [56]. Other studies have focused on the importance of and construction strategies for cultural facilities [57]. These studies provide references for configuring rural service facility strategies in different regions.…”

“…When the research area differs, the methods for evaluating and laying out facilities also vary; village service facility types can generally be divided into seven categories: culture, education, health, elderly care, commercial services, governance, and publicity [66]. Referring to existing research [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57] on the configuration methods of village service facilities, facility types can be summarized as follows: (1) protection class: emergency shelters, disaster prevention facilities, health rooms, and kindergartens; (2) enhancement class: life class (senior activity rooms, convenience stores, express stations, sports fields, primary schools, cultural activity rooms, folk activities, and financial services); and (3) industry class (tourism service facilities, historical resource protection, logistics service centers, and small exhibition halls).…”

Insufficient public service facilities in rural areas, which leads to failures in meeting the needs of villagers, has become a significant barrier to the high-quality development of rural regions. This issue is particularly acute in the Loess Plateau area, where the complex topography leads to scattered and independent village layouts, making it challenging to allocate service facilities based simply on distance and population. Aiming to arrange public service facilities efficiently and intensively from a “bottom-up” approach, this study, from the perspective of living circles, attempts to summarize the current usage and needs of villagers at the “village–town–county” levels, as well as to seek strategies for facility allocation in villages. This provides a scientific basis for optimizing the configuration of service facilities in the Loess Plateau area. Through field surveys based on questionnaires and interviews with over 60 households and more than 100 villagers, this study authentically reproduces a picture of their daily lives and summarizes their needs for well-configured services and facilities. The findings of this study include the following: (1) The village domain serves as a space of daily production and living for villagers, necessitating facilities for everyday purchases, activities, and elderly care; the town domain supplements the daily production and living needs of villagers, with a higher demand for production materials; the county domain, integrating urban and rural spaces, provides higher-level medical, educational, and other service facilities. (2) Within the village domain, villagers’ demands for facilities lean towards miniaturization and integration. With the increasingly aging population, the demand for elderly care and health facilities is becoming more urgent. Facilities such as activity rooms, fitness equipment, and stores with a wide range of products at reasonable prices can effectively improve levels of convenience and happiness in villagers’ lives. This study summarizes, from a “bottom-up” approach, the villagers’ facility layout needs within the rural living circle, providing a scientific basis for establishing a human-centered rural living circle and enhancing the quality of rural living environments.
