SGIs House supports any person coming for administrative or social processes difficulties. France going quickly to administrative digitization (government goal is to get 100% administrative process fully online in 2022) more and more people come for digital support on administrative or social processes (health insurance, employment, financial problems, retirement, family subsidies...). There is a big risk to exacerbate social divide with a digital divide linked to social rights and subsidies, the non use of rights and subsidies is increasing in some parts of the population experiencing digital difficulties. SGI house both supports people with global welcome and solutions, and also with dedicated organizations / persons consulting hours for specific problems.

For those wanting to be independent, 8 self service computers are made available, and different workshops are proposed to understand digital challenges and be able to use such tools.

The Royans-Vercors Intermunicipality is a rural area of 497 km2 located one hour south-west of Grenoble city in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, 9700 inhabitants are living there. That region presents the characteristics of a preserved and attractive environment appreciated both by tourists and inhabitants, thus a touristic destination famous for its landscapes and its local farming products such as nuts fruits. Territory is ageing resulting in public services departure and drop of local community dynamics and economic dynamics. But arrival of young people in the valley area has been noticed recently and let imagine local challenges that Smart Village project can actually address: small diversity of mobility solutions based on major car-dependant use, lack of collaborative, intelligent and digital governance tools, needs for digital ability improvement for some categories of population.
