The emergence of global scale competition is leading towards the development of new mechanisms to help countries to become more competitive and technology parks are the vehicle of choice to achieve that. Technology Parks offer modern infrastructure and integrated info-structure to promote research and technology development and commercialization for wealth creation and sustainable economic growth and Global Competitiveness. This paper discusses the position of technology parks in East Asia; elaborates on their role in today’s nation development, analytically examines three selected technology parks in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore using GCI Index 2015 and concludes that Technology parks have contributed to gross domestic product (GDP) growth, infrastructure development, knowledge community expansion, capacity building, and export production and distribution. However, optimum benefits of Technology Parks accrue when they are established and managed professionally in line with the best practices and all transactions are equitable, just, and transparent; the whole process must culminate trust nationally and internationally.

The Status

The article examines the main global problems of the modern world space, defining the main tendencies of overcoming the crisis and the further path of human development. Globalization indicates the general nature of most processes meaningful to mankind. Modern humanity represents an indivisible system of economic, political, social and cultural ties and interactions, which is significative for the unity of its future destiny. Informatization became the basis of globalization, reflecting the current level of technology development. Global problems are problems affecting all mankind, influencing the course of economic development and social sphere, also ecology and political stability. These problems require international cooperation, since none, even a highly developed State, is able solve them on its own. The number of hungry people in the world has increased over the past few years. Now every ninth person in the world is starving every day, suffering from a lack of nutrition. Both the food scarcity and hunger are among the greatest threats to the overall health of the human population exceeding malaria, tuberculosis or HIV. Responsibility for the planet should begin with responsibility for the country, because the crisis of a separate country complicates the world situation in the political aspect; ecological and resource crises jeopardize environmental equilibrium and complicate the problem of resources on a global scale; an economic crisis leads to social consequences in other countries.

Global Data

As the world population continues to increase, world food production is not keeping up. This means that to continue to feed the world, we will need to optimize the production and utilization of food around the globe. Optimization of a process on a global scale requires massive data. Agriculture is no exception, but also brings its own unique issues, based on how wide spread agricultural data are, and the wide variety of data that is relevant to optimization of food production and supply. This suggests that we need a global data ecosystem for agriculture and nutrition. Such an ecosystem already exists to some extent, made up of data sets, metadata sets and even search engines that help to locate and utilize data sets. A key concept behind this is sustainability—how do we sustain our data sets, so that we can sustain our production and distribution of food? In order to make this vision a reality, we need to navigate the challenges for sustainable data management on a global scale. Starting from the current state of practice, how do we move forward to a practice in which we make use of global data to have an impact on world hunger? In particular, how do we find, collect and manage the data? How can this be effectively deployed to improve practice in the field? And how can we make sure that these practices are leading to the global goals of improving production, distribution and sustainability of the global food supply? These questions cannot be answered yet, but they are the focus of ongoing and future research to be published in this journal and elsewhere.

BACKGROUND Declaring the COVID-19 disease a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), it gained momentum as every day passed, and private and government sectors of different countries pushed funding towards research in various capacities. A great portion of efforts is devoted to information technology and service infrastructure development, including research to develop intelligent models and techniques for alerts, monitoring, early diagnosis, prevention, and other relevant services. As a result, tons of information resource have been created in the global space and are available for use. However, there is lack of a defined structure to organize these resources into categories or classes based on the nature as well the origin of data. OBJECTIVE This study aims to organize COVID-19 information resources into a well-defined structure to facilitate easy identification of a resource, tracing information workflows, and a guide for contextual dashboards design and development. METHODS A sequence of action research was performed that involve a review of COVID-19 efforts and initiatives on a global scale during the year 2020. Data is collected according to a defined structure of primary, secondary, and tertiary categories. Various descriptive statistical analysis techniques were employed to get insights of the data to help in developing a conceptual framework underlining the organization of resources and interactions among different resources. RESULTS In this paper, we present a three-level structure of resource categorization that provides a gateway to access the global initiatives with enriched metadata, assists users in tracing the workflow of tertiary, secondary, and primary resources with relationships among various fragments of information. The results comprise mapping initiatives at the tertiary level to secondary and then to the primary level to reach the firsthand resource of data, research, and trials. CONCLUSIONS Adopting the proposed three-level structure enables a consistent organization and management of existing COVID-19 knowledge resources and provides a roadmap for classifying the futuristic resources. This study is one of the earliest studies to introduce an organized structure and demonstrate the placement of COVID-19 resources at the right place. By implementing the proposed framework according to the stated guidelines, this study facilitates the development of applications such as interactive dashboards to facilitate the contextual identification and tracking of interdependent COVID-19 information resources.

The purpose of the paper is to determine the impact of innovative technologies of artificial intelligence on the modernization of logistics infrastructure, the formation of new forms of logistics networks of Industry 4.0. Methodology. The survey is based on a study of the main trends in the field of logistics infrastructure development, analysis of the latest forms and methods of using artificial intelligence technologies in various fields. The study considers the forecasts of IDC “IDC Future Scape: Worldwide Digital Transformation 2021” and contains an assessment of the volume and effectiveness of investment in this area. The results of the survey showed that in addition to the radical transformation of the logistics network itself, the use of artificial intelligence technologies will lead to qualitative changes in the labor market. There is still the tendency to reduce the need for logisticians performing operational functions – automation of warehousing operations, unmanned stackers, and transporters instead of loaders and pickers will accelerate. Practical implications. The use of artificial intelligence technologies allows companies today to generate significant competitive advantages on this basis. However, soon this will not be an advantage, an indisputable condition for the company’s operation in the market of logistics services in general. Value/originality. The authors have highlighted the minimum quality and competencies required in the future, the presence of which in the company’s resource base will allow to use all the advantages of implementing innovative forms of piece intelligence - multi-competent knowledge in the areas of IT technologies, procurement and warehouse, transport, production and distribution logistics, mathematical analysis, and production management processes based on artificial intelligence.

The article examines the problems of sustainable development of modern societies, identifies their causes and the evolution of views on the origins of unstable and non-equilibrium development in the spatial and temporal aspect of social and political processes. Identify the factors of territorial sustainability, stresses the importance of humanization of development of all spheres of society, the role of education in formation of personality, able to independently decide within fragile and conflict in the world. The fact of General global instability of development is emphasized. Achieving the sustainability of social systems is currently a debatable and difficult task, the main problem of its solution is the inability to meet the growing needs of both individuals and society as a whole due to the exhaustion of resources on a global scale. Of course, production and distribution in some countries is ahead of time, in others it leads to a lag at the level of previous centuries. The uneven evolution of different countries in the direction of technological structure and artificial replenishment of their own resource base, the desire of countries that have entered the era of technological take-off to take priority political and military positions, gives rise to many planetary and territorial conflicts. The technological progress itself is contradictory, all the consequences of which are still unclear, poorly understood by people, and therefore are often perceived as a threat to man himself and the future of mankind. The new era has shown that at the current level, political management and police-military pressure cannot cope with numerous social, economic, environmental, ethnic, and religious problems, and their resolution must be at a deeper intellectual and cultural level. It is obvious that the importance of forming a person who is able to understand the risks of modern civilization is increasing, breaking through the muddy waves of information flows, misinformation and myths, and the role of education and upbringing is growing many times. Step-by-step solution of these tasks can begin with separate territories that localize and concentrate the rules, methods and methods of concretizing the combined actions of administrations, citizens, parties, social movements, and cultural and educational institutions.

Europe’s population decline compared with the demographic explosion in Africa and Asia is a potential threat to sustainable economic growth and global competitiveness in Europe. Europe is currently facing two major problems-lack of population growth and migration pressures. The solution could provide a targeted management of migrations flows. Prerequisite for sustainability of the system is not only a skilled migration, but some form of integration and acceptance of Western values as well. In connection with the deepening of integration of the common EU immigration policy, Czech immigration strategies have to be complementary with the EU strategies. Czech Republic had to already undertaken many reforms of Aliens Act and also tries to launch its own strategies favourising the skilled immigration, to reinforce the main trends in the European immigration policy.
