Currently, rural areas are undergoing rapid changes. The idea of smart vil lages is a response to current rural development problems stemming from ongoing demographic changes, mainly the aging population and an exodus of young people from rural areas, low population density, fewer and fewer jobs, an insufficient and decreasing range of services offered in these areas or the lack of funds for investment. Digitalization has become an essential aspect of modern society, being present in all activities of daily life. The article aims to highlight the importance of implementing the Smart Village concept for the viability of villages in Romania. Smart Village is a relatively new concept that refers to the development of rural communities through the use of technology and innovation. In conclusion, the purpose of digitalization is to create value and bring significant benefits to organizations, communities, and society as a whole through the use of digital technologies, to improve existing processes and services or to develop new solutions and innovations, and the digitaliza tion of public and social services can bring significant benefits to rural areas,contributing to improving access to essential services, the efficiency of public administration and stimulating economic and social development.
