Design/methodology/approach: The Small Carpathian Circle was chosen as it is the biggest infrastructure project in western Ukraine that covers three oblast (regions) of Ukraine and will have a cross-border impact. Literature sources, statistical information and estimates data used in this paper were gathered from various international and Ukrainian official sources and websites. Personal knowledge about Carpathian region was also used as the author comes from Lviv oblast of Ukraine. Findings: the outcome of this paper is that the Small Carpathian Circle has to be implemented in the nearest future in order to provide the efficient mobility in Carpathian region of Ukraine on the basis of sustainable development. The main reasons for its slow implementation in 2022 were highlighted.

Background: This study practices the priorities of the World Economic Forum, Global Social Mobility Pillars 10th for the inclusive institutions. Global logistics discussed with accessibility needs in theoretical frameworks of Global Social Mobility Index (rankings for 2020 Turkey 64th, and Poland 30th). It is stated with sociological, technological, and economical improvements in line with on the global agenda. Methods: This article provides a data research, which considers the economic effects of Covid-19 for adults (≥18 years of age and employed with high digital literacy) during lockdown. Theory of main synthesis is targeting UN Development Goals and WEF’s Social Mobility Index. It is developed based on international literature and it is defined with total 100 Turkish people opinions and connected individual’s budget with the logistics services. Results: Digital technologies as an enabler of inclusive work are delivering the digital flow with Industry 4.0 by changing the way of logistic services function into another virtual transportation platform. In this paper, with the aim of identifying future directions, more than 100 surveys reviewed focusing on inclusive workplace options. Conclusion: Economies with greater social mobility provide more opportunities with the content of the accessible procedures which useful instrument for each procurement mode; operational, tactical, and strategic. It confirms the efficiency, effectiveness, and experiences of people with the digitalization technologies (SIoV, IoT, Blockchain, RPA, AI, Data Analytics, etc.) It is recommended that the levels explained in this study contribute to future studies by accessible supply chain with inclusive work procedures.
Currently, foreign direct investment (FDI) is considered the most important factor of regional development in the world, as it significantly influences the functioning of regional economic structures and the degree of their use, which is particularly noticeable in some countries, including Poland. In the global economy, most FDI is located in highly developed countries. However, for several years, there has been an increase in the inflow of FDI to developing countries, among them Poland, which has become one of the largest recipients of foreign capital from among the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. In the report Investor’s Guide - Poland - How to do business (2017), it was emphasised that Poland’s accession to the European Union opened the Polish market to foreign enterprises and created favourable conditions for investing in Poland. Therefore, the aim of this article is to present the regional distribution of foreign direct investment in Poland, with a particular view to presenting differences in the volume of foreign direct investment inflows to individual Polish regions and what conditions them. In the statistical analysis, the determinants of FDI inflow to Poland between 2010 and 2017 referred to selected macroeconomic indicators that allow the foreign investor to determine the level of economic stability of a country or region. This choice was based on literature and own research on the investment attractiveness of a country and the determinants of FDI inflow. The empirical part of the article was prepared on the basis of GUS statistical data. This source of data was opted for, as it enabled showing FDI engagement by provinces.
Dokonujące się obecnie silne procesy globalizacyjne, umocniły pozycję klastrów jako podstawowego czynnika przyczyniającego się do wzrostu konkurencyjności zarówno gospodarek regionalnych jak i krajowych. Relacje zachodzące pomiędzy uczestnikami klastra, umożliwiają jednoczesne występowanie rywalizacji, jaki i współpracy w niektórych obszarach. Zagadnienie to jest szeroko analizowane w literaturze przedmiotu, w odniesieniu do klastrów przemysłowych. Jednakże w ostatniej dekadzie zjawisko klasteringu można zaobserwować także wśród podmiotów świadczących usługi logistyczne. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie idei tworzenia klastrów w branży TSL. W ramach empirycznej ilustracji zagadnienia w artykule przywołano przykłady europejskich inicjatyw klastrowych takich jak: Waloński Klaster Logistyczny czy Klaster Logistyczny Dolnej Austrii. Na ich tle omówiono przykład „Śląskiego Klastra Logistycznego”.

Strong processes of globalization have strengthened the position of clusters as a basic factor that influences the improvement of the competitiveness of the economies. Relations between members of the cluster have the nature of competition and cooperation. In the literature, this phenomenon is analyzed in the context of industrial clusters. However, in the last decade clusters began to emerge also in the logistics sector. The purpose of this article is to present the idea of creating clusters in TSL sector. As the empirical ilustration in the article were used inter alia: „Cluster of Transportation and Logistics in Wallonia”, „Logistik Cluster Niederösterreich”. Against them were discussed the Polish example „Silesian Logistic Cluster”.
