Abstract

The paper reflects the results of the ongoing discussion about sustainable development in Slovakia as an increasingly urgent topic resonating across scientific disciplines. Specifically, it deals with the participation processes, which were realized in 2022-2023 under the auspices of the Ministry of Investments, Regional Development and Informatization of the Slovak Republic (MIRRI), and the second part of which was implemented at the Institute of Management of the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava using its expert and organizational capacities. The mentioned activities follow the strategic document entitled Vision and Development Strategy of Slovakia 2030 and are related to the preparation of the document Vision and Development Strategy of the Slovak Republic until 2050 – Slovakia 2050. In the light of the outputs from the participation processes, the paper deals, among other things, with the necessity of accelerating the transformation of regional economies from the industrial towards the post-industrial society, including sustainable innovation-oriented circular economy less dependent on raw materials and energy, with the simultaneous optimization of the system of decision-making and effective management, based on partnership and division of responsibilities between different levels and various actors of sustainable development. It also points out that discussions about this vision have the potential to significantly frame the creation of concepts of integrated territorial innovation-oriented clusters, the urgency of which - in parallel with the frustration of the ineffectiveness of fragmented development processes and activities - is felt at different levels by practically all participating subjects of the professional discourse analyzed in this paper. The results of the participation process fully confirm that Slovakia is not adequately prepared to respond to the challenges associated with all the necessary transformation processes.

从参与进程的角度展望更加可持续的斯洛伐克

本文反映了斯洛伐克正在进行的关于可持续发展的讨论结果，可持续发展是一个日益紧迫的话题，引起了各科学学科的共鸣。具体而言，本文介绍了 2022-2023 年在斯洛伐克共和国投资、地区发展和信息化部（MIRRI）支持下开展的参与进程，其中第二部分由位于布拉迪斯拉发的斯洛伐克理工大学管理学院利用其专家和组织能力实施。根据参与进程的成果，该文件主要论述了加快地区经济从工业社会向后工业社会转型的必要性，包括减少对原材料和能源依赖的以创新为导向的可持续循环经济，以及同时优化决策和有效管理制度的必要性，其基础是可持续发展不同层面和不同参与者之间的伙伴关系和责任分工。报告还指出，关于这一愿景的讨论有可能极大地构建以创新为导向的综合地域集群概念，本文所分析的专业讨论的几乎所有参与主体都在不同层面感受到了这一紧迫性--与此同时，他们也对各自为政的发展进程和活动的无效性感到沮丧。参与过程的结果充分证明，斯洛伐克尚未做好充分准备，以应对与所有必要的转型过程相关的挑战。

期刊介绍： Acta Montanistica Slovaca publishes high quality articles on basic and applied research in the following fields: geology and geological survey; mining; Earth resources; underground engineering and geotechnics; mining mechanization, mining transport, deep hole drilling; ecotechnology and mineralurgy; process control, automation and applied informatics in raw materials extraction, utilization and processing; other similar fields. Acta Montanistica Slovaca is the only scientific journal of this kind in Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe. The submitted manuscripts should contribute significantly to the international literature, even if the focus can be regional. Manuscripts should cite the extant and relevant international literature, should clearly state what the wider contribution is (e.g. a novel discovery, application of a new technique or methodology, application of an existing methodology to a new problem), and should discuss the importance of the work in the international context.
