Abstract The last couple of sentences need editing as seem very cumbersome and vague. Strengthen explanation of what, in concrete terms, you discovered beyond a framework for further research? Methodology Blithly state on 118-121 that,"In recent decades, scientometrics have been broadly adopted as a reliable approach, providing powerful and effective instruments for evaluating existing scientificactivities and impacts, identifying transformative patterns, depicting knowledge landscapes, and predicting emerging trends in various scientific fields". For more of a dialectic, I would like to see more critical discussion of quantitative approaches. Analysis Change 525, "city practices has proven..." to Change 530, "As proven ,,," to Fig 120 & discussion, consider role of culture? Presentation/langage 251, Change "View overall.." to ? Discussion 603, Consider adding sentence to reflect on how your findings on smart village echo thoughts of ancient philosophers like Plato (on the polis?) or Confucious on junzi (君子)?. To what extent does your smart village reflect ancient rural best practices - see e.g. in Farmers and agriculture in the Roman Economy (David B. Hollander, 2019) or even one of first texts on agriculature by Cato the Elder (De Agricultura ~160BC).
