- Smart villages in practice: A meta-synthesis of implementation experiences in EuropePublication . Dembogurski, Lucas; Madureira, Lívia; Bento, Ricardo; Carvalho, AidaThe concept of Smart Village, created by the European Commission in 2017, emerged as a response to the challenges faced by low-density territories, by promoting strategies based on local potential, opportunities, and digital technologies, using participatory approaches in their design. This study analyzes how the Smart Village concept has been implemented in European rural territories and what conclusions can be drawn about this strategy from the available empirical evidence. Based on inductive analysis and synthesis, this study seeks to understand how the initiatives were configured and which elements had influenced their implementation processes. To this end, 22 scientific articles retrieved from the Web of Science and Scopus databases were analyzed, along with 14 projects from the “Smart Rural Areas in the 21st Century” program. The main findings highlight the importance of involving multiple actors in the formulation and sustainability of the initiatives, the absence of instruments for monitoring strategies, and the challenges in implementing and adopting digital technologies. These findings contribute to understanding how projects and initiatives are configured, revealing operational gaps and asymmetries between declared objectives and the ways in which the initiatives have been designed and implemented in rural contexts.
- Social media intelligence and wildlife crime: A quantitative analysis.Publication . Santos, Lara; Lopes, Luisa; Correia, MarianaThis paper explores the role of social media intelligence (SMI) and digital marketing—particularly data-driven analytics, social media marketing, and social media platforms—as instruments for analysing and addressing wildlife crime in online spaces, focusing on illegal animal trafficking. This is a descriptive study based on a quantitative approach. A bibliometric analysis was conductedusing the Web of Science database, complemented by a quantitative analysis of data extracted from the European Union project ECO-SOLVE platform and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) platform, to identify the main patterns of action of traffickers on social networks. The results show a growing number of research studies interested in applying digital tools to track and prevent illegal animal trafficking, with a predominance of scientific publications in the areas of environmental sciences and criminology. The results also indicate the use of digital social networks by criminals, with Facebook standing out as the main platform for disseminating ads. By leveraging SMI, authorities and digital platforms can proactively identify and disrupt illegal activities, particularly on platforms like Facebook, which are frequently exploited by traffickers. The findings call for urgent, collaborative, and ethical action among institutions, law enforcement, and social media companies to enhance the effectiveness of digital tools in addressing this global issue. The Scopus database was not included in the analysis, and so the inability to access specific data may have restricted the scope of the research. The conclusion highlights that SMI is a promising approach to monitoring and combating wildlife trafficking. It emphasises originality by suggesting that maximising its effectiveness requires integrated and ethical action between institutions, authorities, and digital platforms. This study underscores the critical role of SMI in revolutionising enforcement practices and digital communication strategies to combat wildlife trafficking.
