Utvecklingen i samhället går i riktning mot att glesbygden avbefolkas, serviceställen och fysiska servicepunkter försvinner. Detta är något som påverkar landsbygden mycket. Denna studie syftar till att beskriva hur en digital transformation i form av en digital butik påverkar ett litet samhälle i Norrland. Studien är en undersökande studie med en kvalitativ metodologi, analys och datainsamling. De teoretiska referensram som ligger till grund för studien och som används i analysen är digital transformation, digitaliseringsstrategi, smarta byar och den digitala klyftan. De slutsatser studien kommer fram till är att införandet av en digital lösning har lett till framtidstro, förenklat vardagen samt gett en mer levande glesbygd. Genom digitaliseringens möjligheter har man hittat en lösning som är ekonomisk gångbar. / Developments in society are moving in the direction of depopulation of sparsely populated areas, and the disappearing of service points and physical service points disappearing. This is something that affects the countryside a lot. This study aims to describe how a digital transformation in the form of a digital store affects a small community in the most northern part of Sweden, Norrland. The study is a research study with a qualitative methodology, analysis and data collection. The theoretical frames of reference that form the basis of the study and that are used in the analysis are digital transformation, digitization strategy, smart villages, the digital divide. The conclusions of the study are that the introduction of a digital solution has led to hope for the future, simplified everyday life and provided a more vibrant sparsely populated area. Through the possibilities of digitalization, a solution has been found that is economically viable.

Today, Sweden's ambition is to be the best in the world to use the possibilities of digitization, while at the same time aiming to be a leader in the work for sustainable development and Agenda 2030. The study aims to study whether there is a clear connection between how the theory of how one should work with digitization to achieve sustainability applies in the practical work at national and local level. Furthermore, one can use the result to identify how one should use digitization and plan for a more sustainable society. The aim of the study is to be able to see what differences and / or similarities there are at the different strategic levels, where the study is limited to comparing Sundsvall's municipality with the rest of Sweden. The parameters examined are supported by the theory that William Mitchell has written in his book "e-topia", which describes the connection between digitization and sustainability and answers the question of how to achieve sustainability with the help of digitization.   The report is based on a qualitative method, in which the result is gathered from two interviews and two policy documents, respectively, in order to be compared and discussed in the report's concluding discussion and conclusion part. The result shows that it is the human transformation that is of significant importance both at national and local level, but that there is no clear link to the sustainability work in the national digitization strategy. Instead of focusing on what abilities that are required to be able to use digital techniques or technologies, one should instead focus on how digitalization contributes to the sustainability work in order to eliminate unnecessary processes or steps.
