Developing Science Parks: Global Experience and Possible Guidelines for the Donbas Region’s Innovative Economic Recovery

For many years, the technological deterioration of physical assets, the high energy intensity of production, structural imbalance of the industrial complex, and related complex technogenic and ecological situation, which today already carries systemic threats, remained acute problems for Donbass. The conflict in eastern Ukraine has exposed these problems, made them admit that without the introduction of advanced technologies and effective management solutions, it will hardly be possible to revive the economic potential of the region on a qualitatively new basis. The paper concentrates on the search for opportunities to mitigate and eliminate the impact of the challenges existing in Donbass, implement the restructuring of the region's economy by using the tool of science parks. The practicality of organizing and financing science parks is now being worked out by the Ministry of Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine within the Strategy of Economic Development of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions until 2030. The experience of other countries of the world regarding the goals and methods of creation, element composition, specialization, construction cost and the effectiveness of the activities of scientific parks with the aim of using it in the regeneration of Donetsk and Lugansk regions has been studied. The article reflects the experience of the USA (in particular, the Silicon Valley and Research Triangle Park science parks); Ireland (Wyeth Biopharma Science Park); Germany (Rhein Elbe Science Park); Poland (Poznan Science and Technology Park, Park Naukowo – Technologiczny «Technopark Gliwice», Science and Technology Park Poland-East in Suwałki). Based on the results of the analysis, it was determined that the cost of building science parks in these countries ranges from USD 35-60 million (Poland) to USD 3-5 billion (United States of America). Particular attention is paid to the features of the architectural and planning organization of science parks abroad and in Ukraine. The design proposals of scientific parks, developed for Zaporizhzhia and Kyiv, are presented as model guidelines for use in Donbass. Building on the results of the study of world experience, as well as project proposals for its implementation in Ukraine, it was concluded that the creation of science parks in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions can be considered as an effective tool for innovative renewal and structural restructuring of the regional economy. To enhance the influence of science parks on innovation processes in the studied regions and Ukraine as a whole, proposals were made to amend and supplement the laws of Ukraine "On Science Parks", "On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Regarding the Activation of Science Parks". The results of the study can be used by the government and the relevant ministry of Ukraine when justifying the choice of models for future science parks in Donbass, their location, specialization, and construction costs.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE MODEL OF NOVOSIBIRSK AKADEMGORODOK SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PARK USING 3DS MAX AND UNITY TOOLS

The aim of tht work is to develop an interactive three-dimensional model of the territory of the Scientific and Technical Park of Novosibirsk Academgorodok. 3D objects were modeled in Autodesc 3ds Max; virtual space was implemented in Unity. In the process, textures and virtual materials for the implementation of photorealistic visualization of a three-dimensional scene were prepared. The model is compiled by Unity and is ready for use on desktop computers or laptops running Windows operating system. The software obtained can be used for virtual tours around the territory of the Scientific and Technical Park of Novosibirsk Academgorodok.

MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS FOR THE ENERGY PRODUCED BY THE PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM AND CONSUMED BY THE BUILDING OF THE LUBLIN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PARK

The article contains a description of innovative systems for measuring the energy produced by the photovoltaic system and consumed by the building. The photovoltaic system consists of two micro-installations supplying two sectors of the Lublin Science and Technology Park. An internet platform for monitoring photovoltaic plant operation was presented. The power generated and the amount of electricity produced were assessed. Then, an innovative system for monitoring, analyzing the consumption and production as well as the efficient use of electricity in individual parts of the building was described.

Is It Feasible to Include Ready-Made Garments Sector in Badajoz Zone under Science and Technology Park of Extremadura, Spain?

The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) might have a remarkable contribution to a country’s economy once it possesses an understandable application of technology and innovation in its style attractiveness, healthier aspects of body and its environmental settings. The primary purpose of this study is to explore the relevance of including RMG sector in the Science and Technology Park of Extremadura (PCTEx) in Badajoz province of Spain. For this purpose, a case study based on face to face interview method is followed where primary data was collected through an unstructured open ended questionnaire. The author’s observation in this case is also used. The findings of this qualitative study support that it is relevant to include the sector in this particular zone. It concludes with the statement that PCTEx has the opportunity to include the sector in this area which can ensure greater impact in social and financial gain in this region. The findings also support that if this proposal is implemented and is supervised by the PCTEx authority in Badajoz, with the influence of this non-government association, it will flourish with its superior performance and in turn will contribute to the development of the region by creating employment opportunity for a number of unemployed people especially for women as well as to the country economy as a whole. The availability of low cost human resources especially high tech infrastructure and industry-friendly environment all work behind the motivation of the sector inclusion in this region.
