“…When societies do not wish to move towards Western directions, higher values of social globalisation as measured by the number of McDonald's restaurants are not proficient . Caselli (, ), De Lombaerde and Iapadre () and Dreher et al. () compare globalisation indices and describe strengths and weaknesses.…”

Globalisation is blamed for many socioeconomic shortcomings. I discuss the consequences of globalisation by surveying the empirical globalisation literature. My focus is on the KOF indices of globalisation that have been used in more than 100 studies. Early studies using the KOF index reported correlations between globalisation and several outcome variables. Studies published more recently identify causal effects. The evidence shows that globalisation has spurred economic growth, promoted gender equality and improved human rights. Moreover, globalisation did not erode welfare state activities, did not have any significant effect on labour market interaction and hardly influenced market deregulation. It increased, however, within‐country income inequality. The consequences of globalisation thus turn out to be overall much more favourable than often conjectured in the public discourse.

“…Detailed information on the methodology for calculating the index see: (KOF).5 It is well-regarded in the literature on the advantages and disadvantages of globalization measurment(Caselli, 2008;Dreher et al, 2010;Zagora-Jonszta, 2017).6 This revision distinguishes between de facto and de jure measures along the different dimensions of globalization. It also distinguishes trade and financial globalization within the economic dimension of globalization and use time-varying weighting of the variables.…”

The main goal of this paper is to show the level of globalization, its changes and the rate of economic growth that have taken place in the new Member States of the European Union (EU), exactly the former socialist countries (EU-11). The aim is also to present the impact of globalization on economic growth in these countries. The following research methods were used: historical, literature, descriptive analysis and simple statistical methods. Statistical data used in this paper come from KOF (index of globalization and its three subindices), Eurostat and Human Development Reports (United Nations Development Programme). The time range of research is 1990-2018. The main conclusions of the study are as follows: 1.The level of globalization of this group of countries has increased significantly; 2. The largest increase took place in countries where the level of globalization at the starting point was the lowest, and the lowest in the most globalized countries; 3. As a result, the differences between individual countries have significantly diminished (we can see the convergence); 4. The current level of globalization of these countries is mainly the result of the combined action of both systemic transformations and the process of integration with the EU. 5. The rate of economic growth in these countries is rather high, much higher than in the old EU. As a result, GDP per capita increased significantly; 6. A small positive correlation exists between the degree of globalization and GDP per capita in these countries; 7. The positive impact of globalization on economic growth in the analysed group of countries was also noted.

“…As indexes and indicators describe properties of analyzed subjects by various values, it is necessary to adopt a correct assessment procedure granting an opportunity to accurately compare individual indexes with each other [15]. Therefore, in combining the individual variables into a common index, the value of each indicator is normed [16,17].…”

The accessibility and quality of public open spaces (e.g., parks, gardens, squares and plazas) are critical for cultural identity development as they provide important gathering points in the urban fabric and offer a place for social activities, enabling interaction among people of different generations and ethnicities. Public open spaces enhance the urban environment by providing important ecological processes and ecosystem services. The current research generates knowledge about co-creation approach to be used to merge the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) with these essential functions of the public spaces. It explores new dynamics of open spaces as a trusted service for the community and expands our understanding of how meditated public open spaces function, paying attention to stakeholders, local context and different social groups. The paper presents the design of Digital Co-Creation Index and methodological guidelines for applying Digital Co-creation monitoring technique for evaluation of co-creation processes in designing attractive, inclusive and responsive public open spaces.
