Abstract: In this article we aim to study the opportunities for developing and applying the concept of “Smart Village in rural Romania. This concept will focus on developing rural communities, smartly using local resources, applying innovative, low-cost solutions. Intelligent development will take into account and respect the traditions and rural cultural identity. The priority areas we propose for the Romanian village are: smart lighting, renewable energy, intelligent payment systems for local taxes and charges, selective collection of garbage, “digital city hall. In this paper, we propose the presentation of the platform concept for interconnection, communication and link between different initiatives, which will reflect the interest, actions and discussions at different levels, between different branches, which will allow the exchange of innovative ways of creating rural areas sustainable, more attractive and will take away many rural areas in difficulty from social, economic and informal exclusion. Therefore, the electronic platform helps to make rural development programs more effective, highlighting the state of implementation of development strategies and policies, which will also contribute to a better absorption of funding sources in various rural localities still underdeveloped today. In the context of the public administration reform strategy, local development policies and the Smart Village concept will be the main vectors of a modern governance process at the local level.
