Abstract
This paper develops a reference architecture for smart rural communities, covering multiple domains and abstraction layers. The reference architecture uses an enterprise architecture approach and is developed by following a design research cycle, where a systematic literature review and a focus group discussion are embedded as part of its design and validation phases. The systematic literature review extracts key architectural components, while the focus group discussion validates the architecture's relevance to a real-world setting and identifies gaps. Subsequently, the applicability of the reference architecture is demonstrated in a real-world context, specifically in the development of smart rural communities in West Java, Indonesia. This paper fills in the gap in the current literature, which lacks a reference that systematically links strategic and technical contexts across multiple domains of smart rural development. The reference architecture serves as a guideline for establishing smart rural communities efficiently and effectively, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life for rural citizens.
