The Impact

This scientific work analyzes the current state and problems of implementing the concept of sustainable development in industrial regions, in particular, in Poland and Ukraine. Emphasis is placed on slowing down the implementation of the main provisions of this doctrine, in particular, the violation of environmental requirements and non-compliance with ecological standards by industrial enterprises. The aim of the article is to find effective innovative tools for intensifying the process of implementing the strategy of sustainable development in industrial regions. The paper uses theoretical methods—analysis and synthesis, formalization, hypothetical-deductive modeling, mental modeling, systematization and generalization—as well as empirical: observation, description and comparison. The main result of the work is the substantiation of the scientific idea that the implementation of a sustainable development strategy in industrial regions is possible by intensifying the process of ecological marketing through the use of new information and communication technologies (ICT) and their innovative tools—methodologies, digital systems, the Internet, cloud technologies, and systems of product design, manufacture and sale—due to accelerated communication links. The authors’ approach to the development of the mechanism of creation and functioning of the single information space (field) of the ecological marketing of the industrial region is offered in this work, and also, the classification of modern ICT and their tools, which it is expedient to use in this mechanism, is carried out. Their purpose and the expected results from the introduction of ecological products for market research, the development of ecological technologies for the life cycles of ecological products and, thus, the impact on the acceleration of sustainable development in industrial regions are determined.

Maternal and child mortality pose a great challenge in developing nations notwithstanding the robust initiatives instituted at both the global and national levels to ameliorate it. This study is aimed at ascertaining women’s perception of the impact of information and communication technologies on access to maternal and child health information and its implication on sustainable development. The descriptive research design was adopted for the study. Purposive sampling technique was used in selecting University of Lagos Teaching Hospital and subsequently, the three clinics (Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics Outpatient, and Antenatal clinics) where the needed groups could be seen. Questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection while SPSS statistical package was used for data analysis. The study revealed that the women perceive information and communication technologies to have a positive impact on their access to maternal and child health information while the key technological facilities used by the respondents in accessing maternal and child health information were mobile phones and social media tools such as Facebook, YouTube, blogs and Twitter. It was also found that irregular power supply, poor Internet access, and ignorance of the media that transmit maternal and child health information were the key factors that militate against effective access to maternal and child health information using communication technologies. The implication of this result on sustainable development is discussed and recommendations made.

The Impact

The impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in terms of Sustainable Development (SD) has led to a great transformation in business management, which positions innovation as an essential element of differentiation for the new market conquest. These ICT, that are particularly adapted, allow creating value for the company in a sustainable way and more aligned with the global SD strategy while ensuring to bring competitive advantage and anticipate new economic, social and environmental problems. To implement an innovation approach that gives organizations the means to develop sustainable management strategies, allowing them to increase overall performance, we proposed the "ICT Sustainable Management" model which is designed according to a Green IT (GIT) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) concepts in order to seek new transition ways for management serving SD. Our model constitutes a first research step to lead reflection on next-generation SD-oriented management models. For this reason, we consider it more appropriate to approve the validity of our model through its application on different categories of companies that use ICT. Analysis of the results of this application test has demonstrated the validity of our model at the scale of five companies. This initial validation will be supported by improvements and new tests that will be extremely useful to improve the model and to advance knowledge in this new field of research.

The article examines the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). This link is conceptually and contextually analyzed in the global context whereby scholarly opinions and research works are discussed to substantiate the role that ICT can play in achieving SDGs. The article further examines the link in South Africa, using the country as a locus of the study. The article aims to find answers to the following research questions: How is ICT linked to all 17 SDGs? To what extent this link may accelerate SDGs’ implementation? What is the impact of ICT on accelerating SDGs? What are the challenges hampering the efficient utilization of ICT for SDGs’ implementation? The article uses a qualitative approach with desktop analysis to draw significant information. In addition, unobtrusive methods were applied, such as conceptual analysis and document analysis, to draw conclusions based on the findings. The findings confirm that despite ICT policies and infrastructure, the use and impact of ICT on SDGs is not always high. The article suggests that improvements are required at policy, institutional, department and individual levels. The suggestions can be applicable globally, based on the technological advancement and socio-economic development in country-specific contexts.

Сфера информационно-коммуникационных технологий (ИКТ) на сегодняшний день является одной из наиболее динамично развивающихся сфер в мире. Страны с сильнейшими экономиками мира вкладывают большое количество ресурсов в цифровизацию и интеграцию достижений отрасли высоких технологий в экономику. В рамках данного исследования предпринята попытка оценить влияние развитости сферы информационных технологий на показатели социально-экономического развития в группе развитых и развивающихся стран. ИКТ могут ускорить достижение Целей Организации Объединенных Наций (ООН) в области устойчивого развития, которые на сегодняшний день являются центральными задачами многих стран мира. Этим и объясняется актуальность выявления и исследования факторов, оказывающих влияние на развитие сектора ИКТ и использование сферы высоких технологий в достижении социально-экономических Целей ООН в области устойчивого развития. Для оценки влияния развитости ИКТ на социально-экономические показатели стран выбран метод регрессионного анализа. В качестве центральной переменной, измеряющей уровень развитости сферы ИКТ по странам, выбран показатель развития ИКТ (ICT Development Index). Полученные результаты демонстрируют положительное влияние развитости сферы информационно-коммуникационных технологий на социально-экономи­ческие показатели стран, в то же время в группе развивающихся стран влияние достаточно слабое. Результаты данного исследования могут быть использованы для формирования стратегии развития сектора ИКТ для стран с разным уровнем социокультурного и экономического развития. The field of information and communication technologies (ICT) is today one of the most dynamically developing areas in the world. The countries with the strongest economies in the world are investing a large amount of resources in digitalization and the integration of the achievements of the high-tech industry into the economy. Within the framework of this study, an attempt was made to assess the impact of the development of the information technology sphere on the indicators of socio-economic development in the group of developed and developing countries. Information and communication technologies can accelerate the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which are now central to many countries around the world. This explains the relevance of identifying and studying the factors influencing the development of the ICT sector and the use of high technologies in achieving the socio-economic UN Sustainable Development Goals. To assess the impact of the development of information and communication technologies on the socio-economic indicators of countries, the method of regression analysis was chosen. The ICT Development Index is chosen as the central variable that measures the level of development of the information and communication technologies sector by country. The results obtained demonstrate the positive influence of the development of the sphere of information and communication technologies on the socio-economic indicators of countries, at the same time in the group of developing countries the influence is rather weak. The results of this study can be used to formulate a strategy for the development of the ICT sector for countries with different levels of sociocultural and economic development.

Tourism Websites

Health tourism is booming all over the world, and thermal spa tourism in Spain is a type of tourism aimed at integrating with nature, achieving sustainable development. In general, its facilities are located in areas specially protected by environmental legislation. This tourism sector attracts an increasingly wide market segment that has become more demanding and better informed and that more frequently uses the Internet to gather information. Tourists’ shopping and consumption habits are increasingly influenced by new information and communication technologies (ICTs), making these a topic of interest among academics and professionals. Website development has been shown to be an area of innovation for spa facilities, but evidence has also been found that this sector has experienced difficulty in adopting ICTs. This research sought to analyse spa websites’ usability by conducting an exploratory investigation of different websites’ contents. The results reveal that the use of new web technologies by spas is underdeveloped, although these facilities have achieved good positions in Internet search engines due to the synergistic effect of the official tourism websites. That is why most of them tell their story, detail their nature and the protection of their spaces. In this way, spas turn their websites into communication channels that convey to tourists their commitment to the environment and sustainable development.
