Abstract
In this research, we explore the role of civic engagement platforms as tools designed to connect various groups in rural areas for collaborative advancement and to support sustainable growth in their communities. We examine these platforms’ essential features and influence on rural communities, conducting an overview to identify rural areas’ primary challenges and the functionalities needed to address them. Our findings reveal that the long-term capability of these civic engagement platforms can bring beneficial changes in rural territories by offering a unified way of communication, collaboration, and decision-making. The study concludes with suggestions for future research.
