Abstract

The aim of the research is to examine the classification aspects of science and technology parks. To this end, an analysis of 113 international parks was carried out along four criteria: ownership, orientation of park activities, range of actors involved and sectoral focus. Based on this survey, the article provides a comprehensive picture of some of the characteristics of international science and technology parks. A pair-wise correlation analysis of the four areas based on the classification criteria led to the conclusion that no strong statistical relationship could be detected between them. This confirms the suitability of the four criteria-based classification method for describing parks as an assessment from four independent perspectives. By a comprehensive analysis of the studied characteristics, statistical clustering methods were used to define typical park classes and typical park types. The practical significance of this is that different park characteristics may require different management methods and different development strategies. In addition, there is a good opportunity for sharing experiences and mutual learning between parks of similar types, due to presumably similar management aspects.
