The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of a sustainable development assessment methodology being designed in the context of green technology. The methodology in question is based on indicators from the Sustainable Development Goals Index (SGDI), specifically in its ecological component. These indicators underlie an Averaging Sustainable Development Index (ASDI) and a Normalized Sustainable Development Index (NSDI). The resultant methodology was applied to 20 countries from the SDGI ranking. According to the research results, the intensive activity of the brown industries in the United Arab Emirates, Kazakhstan, the United States, Korea, and Russia resulted in significant carbon dioxide emissions. Switzerland, Kazakhstan, and Russia had high scores on sustainable management of water and sanitation. Russia was the only developed country to have an ASDI higher than its SDGI and its gap between NSDI and ASDI indexes was not significant, indicating a positive trend in greentech development. The reason why NSDI was increasingly different from SDGI was that countries leading the socio-economic rankings had higher consumption of energy and resources, and a much greater environmental footprint than those countries that consumed less. The originality of this study is that it identifies gaps between NSDI and ASDI values, which indicate that conditions for greentech adoption in most developing countries are unfavorable.

The paper evaluates the benefits and challenges of employing humanoid robots in tourism and hospitality, examining their roles, decision-making processes, human-centric approaches, and oversight mechanisms. Data will be collected from a variety of sources, including academic journals, websites of the companies where the robots operate, case studies, and news articles. Specific attention will be given to concrete examples of humanoid robots deployed in the tourism and hospitality sector, such as Connie, Spencer, and Henn-na Hotel’s robots. Robots highlight the potential to assume roles traditionally occupied by humans. The presence of humanoid robots also influences cultural practices and social interactions within the hospitality context. Humanoid robots also have the potential to improve equity and accessibility in the tourism and hospitality industry. The interaction between humans and humanoid robots can have psychological and emotional effects on both guests and employees. Finally, the usage of humanoid robots intersects with broader sustainability operational efficiency and customer satisfaction across various sectors within the tourism and hospitality industry. Introducing humanoid robots represents a challenge in innovation that holds promise for revolutionizing service delivery and guest experiences.

Engineering human-centric urban transport systems should be carried out using information technology in forecasting traffic and passenger flows. One of the most important objects of urban transport systems’ progress is modeling patterns of transport flows and their distribution on the road network. These patterns are determined by the subjective choice of city residents of traffic routes using public and private transport. This study aimed to form a sequence of stages of modeling transport and passenger flows in human-centric urban transport systems and passenger flows in the human-centric urban intelligent transport systems and to determine the patterns of change to the gravity function of employees of municipal services. It was revealed that the trip distribution function of workers of urban service enterprises can be described by the attributes of the structure of the city, socio-economic data, and attributes characterizing the zones and its residents.

Every construction investment is a project requiring close coordination, the freedom of access to the information, the application of special activity techniques and most of all the high level of maturity of construction project management. Findings of research conducted in different areas of project management confirm that the assurance of high level of project management maturity conditions the achievement of project's success. The higher level of maturity means the greater degree of capability to manage a construction project. The aim of the article is verification of the following hypotheses: H1: Polish construction companies in a small extent use integrated management of construction project. H2: The highest maturity of construction project management appears in knowledge areas connected with cost management and time management H3: The lowest maturity of construction project management appears in the areas of knowledge connected with risk management and communication management. The study reported in this article was conducted during 2013 year in the construction sector. The survey method was applied in research process. The research embraced 23 construction companies. The respondents are managers of the highest and medium level of management in construction companies. The respondents indicated one out of five maturity levels for selected nine knowledge areas: Level 1: „Initial”, Level 2 “Evolving”, Level 3 “Perfecting, Level 4 “Accomplished” and Level 5 “Optimizing”. Based on the results of an analysis into the level of maturity of project management processes in Polish construction companies, the overall process management maturity indicator for all functions is 3.34. All three hypothesis were verified positively.

Today’s units of local government is identified not only with the power that is necessary for the realization of public tasks but above all, it is accentuated by the importance of meeting the needs which are important from the point of view of the community, including the Management processes.The purpose of this work is to present a smooth and effective public management process carried out by the municipal government of Mstów. This municipality applies practical New Public Management instruments in building and implementing the regional development strategy. The article was prepared on the canvas of literature studies on the management, organization, and planning of universal services of a public interest and analysis of the statistical data collected by the municipality.
