Nevědění jako faktor v nepravidelné regulaci domácího násilí na ženách v zrcadle pandemie covidu-19

In this article, we interpret some of the findings from an extensive explorative qualitative study conducted from April to December 2020 that used semi-structured interviews, interviews with clients of an assistance-providing organisation, and analyses of concrete cases from the period of the first pandemic lockdown in the Czech Republic. Domestic violence, especially in the form of intimate partner violence against women, was expected to grow in intensity as a result of the social crisis triggered by the COVI…

Sleep quality and sleep routines as mediators of stressors and life satisfaction in Czech university students: a structural equation model

Introduction: Sleep is especially important to overall well-being. Some aspects of sleep have been well documented, for example sleep quantity and its effect on well-being, but the value of a consistent sleep routine remains poorly studied. University students are a population group especially susceptible to stress, mental health problems and poor sleep quality and experience changing daily schedules. Investigating the protective power of sleep in this population group is therefore an important avenue of rese…

Genderové rozdíly v odměňování a rodičovství: možnosti inovace ISPV

Cílem publikace je najít cestu k tomu, jak inovovat ISPV (Informační systém o průměrném výdělku), aby na jeho základě šlo analyzovat data o vlivu rodičovství na mzdy a genderové mzdové rozdíly přímo z těchto dat. Jde přitom o unikátní data propojující zaměstnané osoby s jejich zaměstnavateli (tzv. linked employer-employee data), která jsou v současnosti nejkvalitnějším datovým zdrojem pro analýzu rozdílů v odměňování v ČR. Údaje o rodičovství v tomto datovém z…

Permaculture and back‐to‐the‐land migration: Pursuing self‐sufficiency in Czech rural areas

This article focuses on the contemporary back-to-the-land migration of permaculture practitioners in post-socialist (1989–) Czechia.

This article deals with individual in-rural migrant projects and the experiences of permaculturists who live in intentional eco-communi…

„Sdílím s vámi svoji cestu“: Influencerství a wellness spiritualita v online komunitách

Tzv. spirituální inﬂ uenceři se v českém prostředí zviditelnili během pandemie COVID-19, jejich popularita nadále roste a vyvolává kontroverze ve veřejné debatě. Fenomén spirituálního inﬂuencerství je možné propojit s institucí „gurus“ a zároveň je nutné ho vnímat v kontextu digitálního prostoru a sociálních sítí, se kterým je bytostně propojený. Článek analyzuje fenomén spirituálního inﬂ uencerství právě v těchto souvislostech a na příkladech z česk…

Social Perception of Trees in the Landscape: The Connection Between Attitudes and Visual Preferences

The study presented in this paper uses a representative sample of the Czech population to analyse the relationships between attitudes to trees and preferences for landscapes with trees. We ask whether a positive assessment of the environmental benefits of trees in general and old and dead trees in particular leads to preferences for close-to-nature forms of the tree landscape. The results show that tree landscape preferences are primarily affected by attitudes attached to trees, rather than by sociodemographic…

Společenská percepce stromů

Jak vnímáme staré stromy a jakou hodnotu jim přikládali lidé dříve? Máme dnes ještě zájem o starobylé mohutné stromy a jejich svědectví? A jak se vůbec lidská společnost vztahovala ke stromům v historii (památné stromy, paměť stromů) a jak s nimi nakládá v současnosti (stromy v zemědělství, stromy jako symbol či jako klíčová komponenta lesních ekosystémů)? Jak například poznáme, že se stromy používaly pro těžbu pryskyřice? Jaké jsou stopy tradičního ořezáván…

Finanční náročnost bydlení v českých domácnostech

Náklady na bydlení obecně představují nejvýznamnější položku spotřebních výdajů domácností. Zatímco průměrná evropská domácnost za bydlení včetně energií a dalších plateb utratila v roce 2021 25 % svého rozpočtu, v Česku to bylo dokonce 28 %.Náklady na bydlení se do velké míry odvíjejí od toho, zda domácnost žije ve vlastním bytě či domě, zda má hypotéku či půjčku, nebo zda bydlí v nájmu. V Česku žilo v roce 2021 78 % lidí v domácnostech, které vlastni…

Scapegoating Immigrants in Times of Personal and Collective Crises: Results from a Czech Panel Study

According to scapegoat theory, individuals tend to attribute personal or social problems to an out-group (real or imagined). This self-serving bias protects the ego or social identity from responsibility while increasing prejudice towards the out-group blamed for feelings of frustration. In this research note, we test this theory using five waves of the Czech Household Panel Study (CHPS 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020), which captures the tail end of the 2015–2016 refugee crisis in Europe through the lockdown i…

Mezigenerační přenos kulturního kapitálu: sociální determinanty velikosti domácí knihovny

This study focused on the social determinants of the objectified state of cultural capital in adulthood. It examined whether intergenerational transmission is still the dominant determinant of the size of a person’s home library in post-communist Czech society. We applied structural equation modelling to data (N = 1958) from the Czech Household Panel Survey (CHPS) and found that while the size of a person’s home library was significantly affected by the size of the parents’ library, the parents’ educat…

Vybavenost venkovských obcí: vývoj, význam, využití

Mizí z venkovských obcí obchody a další služby? Jaký význam mají ve vesnicích malotřídní školy? Co zvyšuje atraktivitu venkova? Podobné otázky si často kladou starostové obcí, novináři i sami obyvatelé venkova. Zajímají se o občanskou vybavenost a její význam. Často se objevují tvrzení, že vybavenost malých obcí je nedostatečná, popřípadě se zhoršuje. Je až s podivem, že důkladná analýza vybavenosti malých obcí až dosud v Česku nebyla k dispozici.Tato kniha nab…

Dlouhodobá finanční rezerva v českých domácnostech

Dlouhodobé úspory pomáhají udržovat stabilní standard a blahobyt lidí v různých fázích života či dokonce podporovat růst životní úrovně v čase, a to i po výpadku příjmů, který lze očekávat např. v důchodu. Hlavními důvody dlouhodobého spoření bývá právě zajištění na důchod, investice do nemovitosti či do vyššího vzdělání, ať už pro sebe, nebo pro své děti. Cílem této studie je identifikovat hlavní faktory, které mohou působit na vytváření dlouhodobýc…

Regional opportunity structures: A research agenda to link spatial and social inequalities in rural areas

This paper introduces and discusses regional opportunity structures as a concept for analysing the inter-linkages between structural conditions in space, social inequalities, and people’s agency, with a focus on non-metropolitan areas. The concept adds value in the following ways: (1) it emphasises the regional scale as an important spatial context of access to opportunities (2) it accounts for the complexity of the regional context, which provides a plethora of opportunities (3) it recognises the interdepen…

Empirical Research on Social Stratification in the Visegrád Countries: An Overview.

This article outlines developments in empirical research on social stratification in the four countries constituting currently the Visegrád Group (V4). Sociology has been developing, if unevenly, as a discipline in these countries since the 19th or early 20th century. Empirical research on social stratification, based on data collected in large surveys, started here by the mid-1960s, first in Poland, then in Hungary, and later in the former Czechoslovakia. In spite of the ideological pressure of the communist…

Better sleep, better life? Testing the role of sleep on quality of life

Previous research has shown that sleep deprivation, low quality sleep or inconvenient sleeping times are associated with lower quality of life. However, research of the longitudinal effects of sleep on quality of life is scarce. Hence, we know very little about the long-term effect of changes in sleep duration, sleep quality and the time when individuals sleep on quality of life. Using longitudinal data from three waves of the Czech Household Panel Study (2018–2020) containing responses from up to 4,523 resp…

Obedient mothers, healthy children: communication on the risks of reproduction in state-socialist Czechoslovakia

The article analyses medical communication in popular media relating to the risks in reproduction in the state-socialist Czechoslovakia between 1948 and 1989 and shows how it used emotions as an instrument to control women’s reproductive behaviour. In particular, we use an approach inspired by Donati’s (1992) political discourse analysis and by Snow and Bedford’s (1988) framing analysis to explore communication on the risk of infertility in the abortion debate, the risk of fetal abnormalities in the pren…
