Kulturní a sociálně ekonomické zdroje nerovností v šancích na dosažení vysokoškolského vzdělání v České republice v letech 1948 - 1999

Alternative models of entrance exams and access to higher education: the case of the Czech Republic

The study compares the potential effects of a university admission exam model based on program-specific knowledge and an alternative model relying on general study aptitude (GSA) in the context of a strongly stratified educational system with considerable excess of demand over supply of university education. Using results of the Sonda Maturant 1998 survey, we show that in the specific context of the Czech Republic, displaying the above characteristics in the given period, an admission exam model based on gener…

Private rental housing in the Czech Republic: Growth and…?

The goal of this article is to describe the development of private rental housing after 1990 in the Czech Republic and to demonstrate the significance of state regulations on people’s expectations, social norms, and thus the form of housing systems emerging in transition countries.

Jak důvěřují regionální elity

Jedním z důležitých aspektů fungování demokracie, ale i společenského života obecně, je hladina důvěry ve společnosti, a to jak na obecné rovině důvěry mezi lidmi, tzv. důvěry sociální, tak na rovině institucionální, tedy důvěry v nejrůznější instituce. V analýzách demokracie a občanské společnosti se často setkáváme jak s pojmem důvěry generalizované, tedy důvěry kterou lidé mají obecně v lidi ve společnosti, aniž by je znali, a s pojmem důvěry inst…

Jak vzniká důvěra ve společnosti

Jistě není pochyb o tom, že důvěra je jedním ze základních stavebních kamenů moderní společnosti. V souvislosti s demokracií a občanskou společností se nejčastěji mluví o dvou typech důvěry. Je to za prvé důvěra v rovině obecné, tedy důvěra v lidi ve společnosti – tzv. důvěra generalizovaná, nikoli tedy důvěra v lidi blízké, rodinu, či přátele, tu je třeba odlišit, a za druhé důvěra v konkrétní společenské instituce, důvěra institucionální či politick…

Sociální kapitál

Při uvažování o sociologické kategorii sociálního kapitálu je třeba brát v úvahu jeho dvě základní polohy. V první řadě kontakty, sociální sítě s důrazem na formální členství v dobrovolných organizacích, v druhé řadě pak jakousi formu psychologického majetku jednotlivce či skupiny, důvěru jak v ostatní občany, tak ve společenské instituce a celou komunitu [Johnson, Soroka 2001]. …

Informovanost o veřejném dění jako aspekt lokální občanské společnosti ve třech vybraných městech

Jedním ze zkoumaných aspektů občanské společnosti, nejen v souvislosti s rozdíly mezi vyspělými a novými evropskými demokraciemi, je vztah mezi veřejnou a soukromou sférou ve společnosti. V postkomunistických zemích přetrvává značná distance mezi osobním a veřejným, osobní sféra bývá vnímána v opozici, často antagonisticky k veřejnému. Interakce mezi těmito sférami je méně intenzivní než je tomu v západních demokraciích [Howard 2003]. Základem této interakc…
