Using Path Dependence Theory to Explain Housing Regime Change: The Traps of Super-Homeownership
The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the usefulness of path dependence theory to explain the convergence of housing regimes among post-socialist countries, both at the beginning and in the later phases of housing-regime transformation. We especially seek to show the selected common traps that were recently created by the legacy of giveaway privatisation and the super-homeownership regime, traps that increase intergenerational inequality, which to now has been effectively mitigated by within-family financia…

Simulating trends in housing wealth inequality in post-socialist Czech society
The goal of this paper is to predict, by using microsimulation modelling under alternative market scenarios, housing wealth inequality in Czech society up to the year 2050. These predictions can be useful for assessing the rationale for attempts to use housing assets as a way of supplementing state pensions and thus add to existing studies on asset-based welfare (ABW) that focused only on the recent and past situation. The models predicted small increase in housing wealth inequality among the future elderly bu…

Impact of weak substitution between owning and renting a dwelling on housing market
According to economic theory, an economically rational market agent searching for permanent housing in a particular stage in his/her life cycle should base his/her tenure considerations also by comparing rent to the user costs of homeownership, and among flats with otherwise identical housing services and security will select the cheaper of two alternative tenures. Economic theory perceives rental and owner-occupied housing as ‘communicating vessels’—a change in conditions in one necessarily entails chan…

Rovní v příjmech, nerovní v majetku? Nerovnosti ve vlastnickém bydlení v ČR
This article focuses on the problem of wealth inequalities as an as yet overlooked axis of social inequalities in the Czech Republic. Wealth inequalities and their development over time are measured here on the basis of the value of the real estate (a flat or house) in which the household lives. The value of household real estate has grown significantly in recent decades in the Czech Republic and Czechs still favour owner-occupied housing over other forms of housing tenure. Households whose parents were also …

Reasoning behind choices: rationality and social norms in the housing market behaviour of first-time buyers in the Czech Republic
We focus on the role of within-family socialisation and the relationship between socialisation and resource transfers in the intergenerational transmission of housing preferences, the formation of familial housing attitudes and thus the reproduction of a normative housing tenure ladder across generations in Czech society. We show that resource transfers and the within-family socialisation of housing preferences, including preferences concerning housing tenure, are closely interconnected. In other words, parent…

Housing restitution policies among post-socialist countries: explaining divergence
The purpose of this paper is to explain why post-socialist countries adopted different housing restitution strategies after the change of regimes across the region. Restitution refers here to the process of returning property or compensating for property expropriated by the communist regime to its previous owners or their descendants. This paper provides a brief overview, assessment and categorisation of housing property restitution policies using a sample of 14 post-socialist countries, but it primarily aims …

New urban diversity at and after the economic downturn: recent trajectories of ethnic segregation in Central European cities
Imigrace je jednou z nejspornějších oblastí současné politiky evropských měst. V tradičních imigračních zemích je vývoj rezidenční segregace dobře zmapován pomocí údajů z registrů obyvatel, nicméně v mnoha zemích a městech po celé Evropě chybí podobný podrobný výzkum dynamiky změn obyvatelstva. Tento příspěvek zkoumá etnickou rezidenční segregaci v Česku v období po ekonomické krizi v roce 2008. Zvláštní pozornost věnuje vývojovým trajektoriím rezidenční segre…

"Do Your Research": COVID-19, post-socialist experience and the narrative of information independence among Czech Instagram influencers
The COVID-19 pandemics highlighted the role of social media influencers as political communicators and drew attention to the question of accountability of influencers and their overall role in the media ecosystem. The aim of the paper is to analyze the role of lifestyle Instagram influencers in shaping the public narrative about COVID-19 as an orchestrated political event aimed at curbing civic freedom in the Czech Republic with focus on two key elements: 1) the politicization of the domestic (space) on Instag…

Measurement Invariance of the SQWLi Instrument Over Time
The SQWLi questionnaire was developed for the long-term measurement of subjectively perceived quality of working life. The aim of this study is to test the instrument's measurement invariance between 2009 and 2019 and determine whether - despite the modifications made to the instrument over the years - the results remain comparable. Data from eight representative surveys of the economically active population in the Czech Republic were analysed (total N = 6909) using the MG CFA method (configural, metric, and s…

Trends in subjective income poverty rates in the European Union
When developing anti-poverty policies, policymakers need accurate data on the prevalence of poverty. In this paper, we focus on subjective poverty, a concept which has been largely neglected in the literature, though it remains a conceptually appealing way to define poverty. The primary goal of this study is to re-examine the concept of subjective poverty measurement and to estimate trends in subjective income poverty rates in the European Union. Our estimations are based on a Minimum Income Question using dat…

Mediation effects in the relationship between cultural capital and academic outcomes
Following recent literature, this study focused on the mediating mechanisms through which cultural capital leads to students’ higher grades and academic ability. Structural modeling was applied to 2018 CZ_PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) data and the results showed that students’ family highbrow cultural resources and reading interest have indirect positive effects on their reading ability and school grades via non-cognitive skills (i.e., students’ aspirations and self-concept in rea…

Gender differences in the link between family scholarly culture and parental educational aspirations
This study investigated family scholarly culture’s effects on parental educational aspirations, with special attention paid to gender differences based on the ideas of stratified parenting and a sociocultural approach to parenting. Two-level structural modeling was applied to nationally representative Czech Household Panel Survey data from 2015 – 2016. Overall, our analysis did not find an independent effect from scholarly culture on parental educational aspirations after controlling for several socioecono…

Guiding Principles for Participatory Design-inspired Natural Language Processing
We introduce 9 guiding principles to integrate Participatory Design (PD) methods in the development of Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems. The adoption of PD methods by NLP will help to alleviate issues concerning the development of more democratic, fairer, less-biased technologies to process natural language data. This short paper is the outcome of an ongoing dialogue between designers and NLP experts and adopts a non-standard format following previous work by Traum (2000) Bender (2013) Abzianidze and …

Land, Water and Sun: Tuning into Socio-Ecological Relations in Radio Design
Recent HCI scholarship has critiqued anthropocentrism in design as contributing to the ecological crisis. The current paper contributes theoretically and empirically to this area, adopting the lens of Socio-Ecological Relations, inspired by Environmental History and STS. We argue that a socio-ecological lens can offer practical tools to HCI and Interaction Design to overcome the separation between humanity and nature-as-a-resource. For this reason, our unit of analysis is humanity-in-nature and nature-in-human…

From squat to cottage: materiality, informal ownership, and the politics of unspotted homes
‘Homeless’ people are usually considered as citizens without property. The absence of ownership, especially in terms of housing, co-creates the very idea of homelessness in current societies. Despite this fact, ‘homeless’ citizens negotiate and experience their property, things, or the shelter in which they dwell. This paper sheds light on how this property is negotiated and experienced and how it influences home-making. It does so by drawing on long-term ethnographic research in the city of Pilsen, a …

Nový přístup v testování ekvivalence na příkladu měření subjektivního blahobytu
Survey-based measures of subjective well-being are increasingly often analyzed cross-culturally. However, international comparison of these measures requires measurement invariance. Therefore, the major goal of this study was to investigate the cross-country comparability of the 5-item subjective well-being scales used in the International Social Survey Programme (2011, 2017). This study applied both the traditional exact and the more recent Bayesian approximate approach to assessed whether the subjective well…
