Dostupnost veřejnou dopravou: simulace využitelnosti veřejné dopravy v každodenních situacích

Dostupnost veřejnou dopravou: simulace využitelnosti veřejné dopravy v každodenních situacích

The article presents an innovative method of evaluating public transport accessibility. The evaluation is based on a simulation of the usability of public transport in real everyday situations. It measures the amount of time the residents of local communities need when they use public transport to reach various commonly used destinations at a specified time. The method’s main advantage is that it aims at reflecting everyday use of public transport. I demonstrate the use of the method by exploratory accessibi…

Nerovnosti při přechodu na osmileté gymnázium: panelová studie žáků pražských a středočeských škol

Úspěšnost školáků v přechodu na akademickou větev vzdělávání je determinována sociokulturním zázemím v rodině, což dokumentují výzkumné studie většinou až v pozdějších fázích vzdělávací trajektorie při přechodu na terciární stupeň. V českém prostředí byla dosud jen malá pozornost věnována přechodu mezi základní školou a víceletým gymnáziem, tj. na konci prvního stupně základní školní docházky. Naše studie se proto zaměřuje na roli kulturních faktor…

Better stories for a gender equal and fairer social recovery from outbreaks: learnings from the RESISTIRÉ project

The pandemic has radically shifted how society is organised, with increased work from home, home-schooling, and intensification of online presence, all with specific (un)intended implications on paid and unpaid care work. These implications, like those of other crises, are gendered and manifest along sex, age, disability, ethnicity/race, migration status, religion, social class, and the intersections between these inequalities. While many studies have identified these unequal and negative impacts, and point to…

Dual responsibilization for housing in a housing crisis: young adults in the Czech Republic

Dual responsibilization for housing in a housing crisis: young adults in the Czech Republic

Young adults in various countries are experiencing deteriorating access to homeownership and affordable rental housing. Whereas many studies have focused on the shift of responsibility for housing from the state to individuals related to a meritocratic ideology, only recently have certain studies identified the ambiguity and incoherence as a significant principle in housing discourses. Responding to these, we analysed 31 narrative interviews and survey data on Czech young adults (aged 18–35), providing uniqu…

Intermediation in design as a practice of institutioning and commoning

Design practices often involve grassroots communities and institutional actors with designers working as or with intermediaries. This paper defines intermediation as a significant design practice, especially when designers engage in commoning and institutioning—concepts that have gained traction in recent discourses in design scholarship. To discuss intermediation, the paper introduces two case studies: a community radio project in Europe and a food supply chain project between Australia and China. The two c…

Emergent Consequences of Narrating Futures in Energy Transitions

Emergent Consequences of Narrating Futures in Energy Transitions

The paper presents a general theoretical argument about narrating futures and demonstrates its validity on the topic of energy transitions. It goes beyond the perspective of social constructionism and analyzes the temporal relationship between narratives, as employed in social interactions, and the reality of structural conditions in societies. The first part combines the morphogenetic approach of Margaret Archer and the narrative hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur to conceptualize emergent consequences, clarifying …

The Transformation of Order in Narrative as Discordant Concord: Using Paul Ricoeur to Explore Narrative Realism as Part of Social Morphogenesis

The Transformation of Order in Narrative as Discordant Concord: Using Paul Ricoeur to Explore Narrative Realism as Part of Social Morphogenesis

Social interaction as the middle phase of the morphogenetic sequence described by Margaret Archer presupposes that interpretative activities go on between individuals and collectivities. Novel meanings emerge in social interaction and spur the processes of structural elaboration. The hermeneutics of actors (or agents) should be part of the morphogenetic explanatory framework. Narratives as a distinctive species of interpretation will then become more susceptible to a mode of analysis based in realism. By adopt…

A Morphogenetic Approach to Social Aspects of Energy: The Case of Coal

A Morphogenetic Approach to Social Aspects of Energy: The Case of Coal

This chapter proposes the morphogenetic approach, as elaborated within the confines of Margaret Archer’s critical realism, as a suitable starting point for theoretically grounded research into social aspects of energy. It demonstrates in outline the suitability of this approach in the special case of coal, the mining and combustion of which epitomize the ambiguity of the industrial era. The chapter applies the morphogenetic approach in a way, which is both comprehensive and responsive to empirical data. The …

Veiling Religion: The Public Face of Czech Re-Entry Faith-Based Organizations

Veiling Religion: The Public Face of Czech Re-Entry Faith-Based Organizations

Due to the lack of sufficient non-governmental prisoner re-entry services in the Czech Republic, many post-release activities are provided by faith-based organizations (FBOs). However, the Czech Republic is considered to be one of the most atheistic countries in the world. Most of the Czech population is at least apathetic toward organized religion. This study examines how re-entry FBOs present Christianity to the public in the religiously indifferent Czech Republic. The primary focus is on how the organizatio…

Česká a slovenská národní identita v percepci Československa

Rozdělení Československa je významná dějinná událost, která zásadně formovala a stále formuje národní identity Čechů a Slováků. Zároveň se tyto identity promítly v této dějinné události. Ačkoliv si oba národy byly velmi blízké a tento vztah jim zůstal i nadále, odlišný demografický vývoj a hodnotové orientace se odrážely i v jejich novém směřování po Sametové revoluci v roce 1989. Tato kapitola nejen dokládá tyto rozdíly, ale také mapuje veřejné mínění v kri…

Apportioning Uncertain Voters in Pre-Election Polls in a Multi-Party System

In recent decades, voters have been postponing their decisions about what party to vote for to a time closer to the elections. One factor in this delay is when people are considering more than one political party. Drawing on two data sets from the general elections in the Czech Republic, we present an approach that assigns a person’s vote to multiple considered parties. We test the impact of the different apportioning of probabilities on the overall accuracy of poll estimates and on the estimates for each po…
