Abstract

Islands exhibit unique characteristics that set them apart, including challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, limited energy resources, remoteness from mainland, and governmental limitations, all of which increases the inhabitants' already precarious economic situations. This study conducts a comprehensive literature review, focusing on renewable energy sources (RES) options within the framework of smart island village (SIV) concept aiming to contribute towards sustainable economic development. Through the systematic analysis of 105 Scopus indexed articles published between 2015 and 2023, employing the extended PRISMA (e-PRISMA) protocol, this paper identifies key factors that leads to the development SIV and categorized them as Infrastructure, Accessibility, and Sustainability. Furthermore, it divides RES based solutions into four distinct sub-themes: (a) Feasibility, (b) Rural Electrification, (c) Livelihood, and (d) Socioecological considerations. The study highlights the interdependency among these factors, emphasizing their collective contribution to the enhancement of accessibility, infrastructure, and sustainability (A-I-S), as the essential key elements of a SIV. Unlike previous reviews, this paper exclusively examines wind energy and biogas, excluding other energy sources based on local availability, providing detailed justifications for this focus.

基于可再生能源的可持续智慧岛村研究综述

岛屿表现出独特的特点，使它们与众不同，包括基础设施不足、能源有限、远离大陆和政府限制等挑战，所有这些都加剧了居民本已岌岌可危的经济状况。本研究进行了全面的文献综述，重点关注智能岛村（SIV）概念框架下的可再生能源（RES）选择，旨在为可持续经济发展做出贡献。本文采用扩展的PRISMA （e-PRISMA）协议，通过对2015 - 2023年间发表的105篇Scopus索引文章进行系统分析，确定了导致SIV发展的关键因素，并将其分为基础设施（Infrastructure）、可访问性（Accessibility）和可持续性（Sustainability）。此外，它将基于可再生能源的解决方案分为四个不同的子主题：(a)可行性，(b)农村电气化，(c)生计和(d)社会生态考虑。该研究强调了这些因素之间的相互依赖性，强调了它们对提高可达性、基础设施和可持续性（a - i - s）的共同贡献，这些都是SIV的关键要素。与之前的评论不同，本文专门研究风能和沼气，不包括基于当地可用性的其他能源，为这一重点提供了详细的理由。

期刊介绍： Environmental Development provides a future oriented, pro-active, authoritative source of information and learning for researchers, postgraduate students, policymakers, and managers, and bridges the gap between fundamental research and the application in management and policy practices. It stimulates the exchange and coupling of traditional scientific knowledge on the environment, with the experiential knowledge among decision makers and other stakeholders and also connects natural sciences and social and behavioral sciences. Environmental Development includes and promotes scientific work from the non-western world, and also strengthens the collaboration between the developed and developing world. Further it links environmental research to broader issues of economic and social-cultural developments, and is intended to shorten the delays between research and publication, while ensuring thorough peer review. Environmental Development also creates a forum for transnational communication, discussion and global action. Environmental Development is open to a broad range of disciplines and authors. The journal welcomes, in particular, contributions from a younger generation of researchers, and papers expanding the frontiers of environmental sciences, pointing at new directions and innovative answers. All submissions to Environmental Development are reviewed using the general criteria of quality, originality, precision, importance of topic and insights, clarity of exposition, which are in keeping with the journal''s aims and scope.
