Sociologická žurnalistika, aneb české časopisy sociálněvědních aktualit
There was not a fixed border between social sciences in general, and particularly sociology on the one side, and cognisant journalism on the other in the past. If such a border already existed, usually after the full establishment of sociology as an academic discipline, certain sociologists deliberately crossed it. The reason was, on the one hand, the effort for a broader than just academic activity and gaining the support for social reforms, and, on the other hand, the effort to provide quick and up-to-date i…

Zora Procházková – Jan David: Povstání z pokleku. Pražské bohoslužby v šedesátých letech 20. století I.
This text provides an academic edition of the exceptional source representing (records from) observations of services in Prague Christian churches in the mid-1960s, supplemented with a contextualizing introduction and historical-religious footnotes by the editor.

Residential segregation in Prague and Central Bohemian Region 2012–2018: a multiscalar approach using individualized neighbourhoods
The aim of this text is to describe and compare the residential segregation of foreigners in Prague and Central Bohemian region in years 2012–2018. The distribution of foreigners is measured using a new method of individualized scalable neighbourhoods. This method allows to compare the distribution of minority and majority population on multiple scales and does not depend on the statistical-administrative division of the territory. The additional focus is on (non-)Slavic and (non-)EU migrants in particular a…

Victimization experience does matter: Testing the effect of different types of victimization on fear of crime among adolescents
The aim of the present study is to thoroughly examine the relationship between adolescent fear of crime and a wide variety of offences which commonly affect children. The analysed data comes from the Urban Youth Victimization Survey conducted among 9th grade students in the Czech Republic. The results unequivocally demonstrate that victimization experience, when measured properly, substantially affects adolescent fear of crime. All analysed types of victimization are associated with fear of crime, though the s…

V souladu s přírodou: politika životního stylu, udržitelnost a soběstačnost
This book examines collective and individual forms of lifestyle politics and political consumerism in the environmental sphere. Lifestyle politics is about how citizens become involved in politics through their everyday decision-making and it includes the ethically, morally, and politically motivated choices they make about consumption, transport, energy use, and other lifestyle habits. It involves activities that seek social change by choosing a lifestyle that is based on the values of an individual or …

Decision makers’ preferences of policy instruments
The article empirically tests the theoretical propositions on instrument choice articulated by Linder and Peters and their followers. It examines whether decision makers tend to prefer some policy instruments over others, what the patterns of these preferences are, and how they can be explained. Using a survey of Czech ministerial and regional public officials involved in strategic policymaking (N = 1,112), the findings confirm that individuals exhibit clear patterns of instrument preference that are similar t…

Comparing Citizen Attitudes towards Security and Liberty in the Czech Republic and Slovakia
Comparing Citizen Attitudes towards Security and Liberty in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. One of the key problems of our time is how much security we want, what price we are willing to pay to feel safe and whether safety leads to satisfaction. Security has a financial and political cost. The article focuses on the relationship between security and privacy from the point of view of a citizen. It examines Czech and Slovak citizen attitudes toward the use of strong prevention security measures in a situation w…

What's past is prologue, or is it? Generational effects on voter turnout in post-communist countries, 1990-2013
A common theme in studies of voter turnout in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is that the legacy of communism attenuates electoral participation. It is argued that socialization and the political habits that emerged under communism impeded democratic development by not motivating citizen activism. This paper examines this claim for voter turnout in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland for all general elections since 1990 using cohort analysis on pooled crosssectional post-election surveys from gi…

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…

In general, the paper intends to contribute to literature on housing policy formulation in countries in transition from planning to market economy and thus provide insight into main factors that may explain unsustainability and weakness of housing strategies in post-soc…

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

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
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…
