Summary:
Aging of population, energy waste, disaster, etc., there are so many subjects to be addressed and resolved by the community to protect the life of resident. Although there are some differ-ences, this is the fact for all communities on the globe. In these days, Information and Commu-nication Technologies (ICT) is widely recognised as a powerful tool to establish a solution and the smart community becomes an active area of research. But the smart community was not the main concept from the beginning. A local electricity distribution network or a home elec-tricity system was a target system where ICT was applied to improve the energy efficiency. Soon, the scope of target system has been extended in the sense of energy variety and system dimension. Finally, the smart community concept appears to cover the wider subjects as de-scribed above.
