Abstract
Energy efficiency plays a key role in the development of modern socio-economic systems, such as cities. Energy efficiency can be achieved through creation and development of eco-industrial parks. This article describes the concept of such parks and their peculiar characteristics and provides an overview of research literature on their development, energy efficiency and competitiveness of their resident enterprises. Performance of eco-industrial parks can be evaluated by applying a set of indicators, which demonstrate the competitiveness of park residents. This system of indicators can be used to model the management of eco-industrial park development. This article also describes a methodological approach to evaluate competitiveness of resident enterprises: the integral index of competitiveness, which synthesizes their current and prospective competitiveness. Comparative analysis (conducted by applying ‘PATTERN’ method, Planning Assistance Through Technical Evaluation of Relevance Numbers) also takes into account specific indicators of residents' competitiveness. This research uses the methods of static modelling to create an algorithm for building a model which establishes the correlation between the indicators of the park’s performance and the level of its residents' competitiveness. The proposed model was applied to develop a program of management for eco-industrial park ‘Tagil’.
Highlights
Nowadays developed countries are going through a new wave of industrialization, which is driven by knowledge-intensive innovations and advanced technologies in the humanities and social studies
Management companies can compare specific indicators of the park in question with those of its competitors and identify the areas for further improvement. This system can be used to elaborate an ecoindustrial parks (EIPs) development program aimed at enhancing the residents' competitiveness
The acquired model can serve as a basic tool to develop a complex of management measures to improve the EIP's performance
Summary
Nowadays developed countries are going through a new wave of industrialization, which is driven by knowledge-intensive innovations and advanced technologies in the humanities and social studies. Management companies can compare specific indicators of the park in question with those of its competitors and identify the areas for further improvement This system can be used to elaborate an EIP development program aimed at enhancing the residents' competitiveness. The acquired quantitative evaluation of the key indicators of the park's efficiency and the indicators of its residents' competitiveness in several retrospective periods enables us to establish the mathematical correlation between the specified values This will become the basis for further modelling. The initial system of models characterizes the correlation between competitiveness of the core group of residents and each of the indicators of the park's efficiency This system looks the following way: Ri f X i1 , X i2 ,..., X in ,. The acquired model can serve as a basic tool to develop a complex of management measures to improve the EIP's performance
