Despite methodological specificity, structural equation modeling has been preferred over other contemporary
techniques such as fuzzy logic modeling, Bayesian network analysis, and Monte Carlo simulation due to contextual
sensitivity and significant decision-support benefits. The present study aims to address this analytical gap by examining
the structural dynamics of digital neighbourhoods, focusing on three interconnected dimensions. We performed a
REGRESSION-SEM hybrid analysis to map the research on digital community ecosystems and investigate how the
functionality of digital neighbourhoods, according to an established multi-level framework (technological infrastructure,
platform governance, trust and data transparency and socio-economic inclusivity, interconnectivity and interoperability,
user agency, spatial adaptability, and temporal dynamism), might be shifting in the context of a data-driven economy. We
conceptualize the digital neighbourhood as the collective transformation of an interconnected digital ecosystem towards
the alignment, mobilization, sustainability, and governance of digital resources built on a sense of spatial proximity, digital
participation, shared identity, and socio-technical resilience.
