Typologie periferních regionů v Česku 2011

Předchozí výzkum periferních území umožnil identifikovat některá problémová území a zacílit pozornost na jejich studium. Nicméně se jednalo většinou o vymezení jednoho typu periferního území. Uživatel výzkumu tak nemohl identifikovat, zdali je perifernost území způsobována nedostatkem pracovních příležitostí, nebo komplikovanou demografickou situací, nebo nevyhovujícím bytovým fondem. Jednorozměrnost vymezení periferií může vést k velké vnitřní heterogenitě vymeze…

Vymezení periferních regionů v Česku 2011

Studium mechanismů, které mohou narušovat sociální soudržnost společnosti, patří mezi základní témata sociologického výzkumu. Riziko sociálního znevýhodnění je ovlivněno dominantně individuálními faktory, ale síla působení těchto faktorů závisí na prostředí, kde obyvatelé žijí. V Česku dochází ke kumulaci různých forem sociálního znevýhodnění ve venkovském území. Mapový list vymezení periferních regionů ukazuje, ve kterých oblastech je obyvatelstvo vystaveno…

Spatial Dimension of Post-1989 Transformation in Czechia

The book chapter analyzes profound economic and political changes in Czech society after 1989 from spatial perspective. The Czech society was very egalitarian in socio-economic terms at the end of 1980’s. The economic transformation dramatically changed the institutional setting, the ownerships structure and “the rule of the game” in economy, which opened the way for more social diversity and inequality. The cleavage between highly educated and people with low education has been rising both in terms of t…

Multi-scalar geographies of polarisation and peripheralisation: A case study of Czechia

A key issue in socio-economic geography is to understand how regional and social polarisation shapes the territorial organisation of society. We argue that effects of polarisation are not translated simply and straightforwardly in a whole region, but vary to a large extent with respect to different types of accessibility areas. We applied the time-accessibility framework to classify a territory into urban, peri-urban, rural, and remote rural areas at a national and regional scale. Subsequently, we computed com…

Vnitřní periferie v Česku: Multidimenzionalita sociálního vyloučení ve venkovských oblastech.

The spatial concentration of social disadvantage in rural areas not only poses a risk to social cohesion but also represents a challenge for public policy. This article draws on a multidimensional concept of disadvantage to study spatial aspects of disadvantage in Czech rural areas. Current studies aimed at identifying ‘inner peripheries’ as areas with an increased risk of social exclusion fail to distinguish between different forms of disadvantage. Their methodological approach blends regions struggling w…

Rural Idyll Without Rural Sociology? Changing Features, Functions and Research of the Czech Countryside

The development of the Czech countryside differs in many ways from trajectories typical for Eastern and Central European rural areas in the last 25 years. In our article, we discuss the nature of the ‘Czech exceptionalism’, with reference to three examples, namely population development, the dynamics of rural/agricultural labour markets and rural governance. Firstly, we describe the major driving forces behind rural development in Czechia over the past 25 years and how these forces are reflected in t…

Geografie výsledků parlamentních voleb: prostorové vzorce volebního chování v Česku 1992-2013

Volby do Poslanecké sněmovny Parlamentu České republiky jsou většinou voličů považovány za nejdůležitější z voleb, protože se při nich rozhoduje o budoucím složení vlády.

Protože poskytují detailní informace o volebním chování v každé z více než 6000 českých, moravských a slezských obcí, jsou volební data zvláště vhodná ke zkoumání regionálních rozdílů volebního chování a jejich prom…

The reurbanisation concept and its utility for contemporary research on post-socialist cities: The case of the Czech Republic

The concept of reurbanisation is discussed in this article from theoretical and methodological perspectives. Reurbanisation has been defined as one of the stages of urban development recently, but it is also tied to processes of gentrification, or perceived as a policy aimed at the revitalisation of inner cities. The main objective of this contribution is to discuss three principal and different perspectives of reurbanisation: firstly, reurbanisation as defined on the macro-scale of settlement system developme…

Existují prostorové kontextové vlivy na volební chování i v relativně nacionalizovaném stranickém systému? Příklad Česka

Článek se věnuje problematice kontextových vlivů na volební chování. V části českéodborné literatury bylo konstatováno, že vliv prostorového kontextu na volební chování v Česku je nevýrazný a že převážnou část teritoriální diferenciace volebních výsledků lze vysvětlit jako důsledek teritoriálních odlišností sociální skladby, tedy kompozičně. Tato studie zkoumá existenci kontextových efektů v detailním územním členění. Ukazuje, že pomocí metod prostorov…

European Strategy for regional responses to demographic changes

Demographic change is one of the most important challenges for economically, socially and environmentally sustainable development in many regions of Central Europe. Population losses due to low fertility rates, migration and population ageing have already been experienced in many parts of regions, cities as well as some metropolitan areas. It is crucial to realize that population shrinkage and ageing is and will be important both for urban and rural areas in Central Europe. All forecasts state that these p…

Koho volí Vaši sousedé? Prostorové vzorce volebního chování na území Česka od roku 1920 do roku 2006, jejich změny a možné příčiny

The book seeks to analyse voting behaviour through studying political preferences expressed by the elections of political parties in the general elections. The four types of questions have been asked: 1. How large are regional differences in electoral results on the territory of Czechia? How the voting patterns look like? 2. Do voting patterns tend to be stable over time or th…
