Healthcare for People Experiencing Homelessness

Healthcare provided to people experiencing homelessness (PEH) represents a challenge for public healthcare systems at the system level, but also to professionals who provide the outpatient healthcare to PEH (Lester, Wright, & Heath, 2002). The usual healthcare systems settings aim at the majority population, which makes it difficult to reach by PEH. Social exclusion leads to underutilization of healthcare by these people (Nagy-Borsy et al., 2021) and results in seeking medical help only in urgent situ…

Health and healthcare use of homeless population: Evaluation study of joint social work and healthcare provision

The Mobility Interview: Triangulating Interview and GPS Data to Explore the Role of Mobility in Everyday Life

This article presents a mixed-methods research protocol suitable for studying everyday mobility and its effects on life chances for a wide range of populations. We argue that it can address, among other issues, two important methodological challenges in the study of mobility: addressing pre-reflexivity and habits, as well as differentiating between voluntary and forced movements. The research protocol combines a problem-centered interview, two weeks of GPS tracking, and a subsequent mobility interview. …

For this purpose, we use existing statistical data collected by the Czech Statistical Office or various state administration bodies available for small territorial units. The approach to defining peripheral regions is based on the assumption that the concept of disadvantage is multidimensional. There are several diff…

New urban diversity at and after the economic downturn: recent trajectories of ethnic segregation in Central European cities

Immigration is one of the most contentious fields of contemporary European urban policy. While the development of urban segregation is well documented in traditional immigration countries with population register data, there is a lack of detailed research on population dynamics in many countries and cities across Europe. This article examines ethnic residential segregation in Czechia in the period after the economic crisis of 2008. Special attention is paid to the trajectories of individual cities and their po…

Crime count and crime harm in a post-socialist city: How does the law of crime concentration at places apply?

This article reports on a new empirical study evaluating crime concentration at places in a postsocialist city. We use principles of the law of crime concentration at places and the Cambridge Crime Harm Index to measure crime count and crime harm concentration at the level of street segments. The research found differences between crime concentration in a post-socialist city and crime concentration reported by recent studies from US or UK cities. Both crime and harm concentration are consistently less spa…

Studies demonstrate the practical potential of geo-localised data for criminological and security research. Knowledge about crime concentration at places makes it possible to focus repressive and preventive activities in localities where the most effective results can be achieved. In Czech criminology, limited use has as yet been made of…

Two faces of peripherality: labour markets, poverty, and population dynamics in Hungary and Czechia

This study investigates socioeconomic peripherality in Hungary and Czechia. Despite the current attention devoted to peripheries in post-communist societies, the authors argue that there is a lack of data-driven international comparisons of the socio-spatial outcomes of peripheralisation processes. In the study, the situations in Hungary and Czechia are compared to assess the validity of peripheralisation as a mutually reinforcing economic, social and demographic decline specifically affecting rural areas. Fi…

Nothing Happens Here…Living Conditions in Rural Peripheries

The book focuses on spatialised forms of social inequalities. In particular, it explores the various forms of disadvantage associated with living in rural peripheries. Rural peripheries are relatively sparsely populated places, with poor transport connections to large cities, which don’t profit from the population growth typical of the suburban and peri-urban countryside. At the same time, rural peripheries are affected by a range of social problems. The individual chapters of this book try from different pe…
