South Moravian Region iWATERMAP Regional Assessment: South Moravian Region Interreg Europe project iWATERMAP Version: 0.1 EN This is version 1, made in semester 3 of the iWATERMAP project Date: 27 November 2018 Strategy of South Moravian Region 2020 Target sectors of the document: • Advanced manufacturing and engineering technologies • Precision devices • Software and hardware development • Medicines, medical care and diagnostics • Aerospace technology Document Challenges: • Ecological sustainability, social cohesion, in a narrower sense, such as a low- carbon economy and technology, and finding ways to address them → direct and indirect economic effects • Quality and functioning of institutions is an important condition for company trust → Entrepreneurship and innovation (motivation, weaK vs. strong, ambition) • Preliminary orientation of research to public research institutions, education system and critical talent • The aim is to use available resources, not only financial but also human and material, in the most promising areas of research and entrepreneurship and to strengthen the competitiveness of the economy in the long term. • Effective interconnection of academic and business sectors • increase the involvement of advanced companies, ensure the interconnection of RIS with university strategies, extend interventions and application of research results outside the Brno agglomeration The phenomenon of the wider region of Moravia The South Moravian Region is historically and geographically and geographically a part of the wider region of Moravia. Almost 100% of this region belongs to the Morava River basin and also in terms of technologies for water management the individual parts of this region complement each other. The wider Moravia region thus includes, in addition to the two largest centers of Brno (South Moravian Region) and Olomouc (Olomouc Region), the Zlín Region and parts of the Vysočina Region, the Pardubice Region and the Moravian-Silesian Region, including the regional cities of Zlín, Jihlava and Ostrava. Main characteristics of the wider Moravia region: • Most of the water resources of the South Moravian Region lie in the wider region (from the source of the Morava River Basin ) - Vysočina, Olomouc Region, Zlín Region, Moravian-Silesian Region, Pardubice Region, • Water treatment and purification technology, pumping equipment of the Olomouc and Pardubice regions , • Schools - Tomas Bata University, PalacKý University in Olomouc, Technical University of Ostrava, Secondary Technical School Lipník, Vysoké Mýto, • Technology of Water Management in RIS3 Olomouc Region - pumping and irrigation technology. What are the regional challenges in this area? (Objectives, challenges) The aim of the RIS3 strategy is to effectively target European, national, regional and private funds into priority innovation areas so that the knowledge potential of our country is fully exploited . Of ařazujeme here categories to increase the involvement of developed societies, ensuring the unification of the RIS with university strategies, expansion of interventions outside the Brno agglomeration, proposing solutions for secondary education, providing that the relevant operational programs at the national level were well designed to enable them to effectively use resources in the region. Among the various challenges in the South Moravian region we include particular stimuli IKan and innovation (motivation, weaK vs. strong , ambitious.) Next, researchers in the field of public institutions re-orientation to other areas , inadequate educational system and the critical mass of talent. In the area of water management responds RIS 3 problems with drought - changes in climate, wastewater treatment and n akládání with sludge . In business and innovation , RIS 3 responds to research - global vs. global. minimum number of local companies able to push technological boundaries to his business, the current lacK of mutual trust , compared with the traditional marKet í mi economies with relatively weak endogenous m business m sector , but there are also a few exceptions - energy, cyber security, and mechatronics ( combination of electrics and mechanical engineering) . The RIS3 strategy was developed by the RDA. It does not directly involve water management, although the region has a critical mass in the field (apparently there was a 'big profit' because multinationals were better connected) - the question is how to update the strategy who initiates this change ('change agent')? The following change agents are identified for the South Moravian Region: to introduce the representative office of the South Moravian Region, the representative of the environmental sector and the representative of the Regional Development Agency of South Moravia. Concerns were shared, but they have not yet been respected. CREA (cluster organization) has been excluded from the RIS3 adjustment strategy. The National Cluster Association could prove helpful in improving clusters of strategic positions of organizations. In the meantime, it was decided to use an alternative: the JMK 2020 strategy developed by the regional government, which also included water technologies.In the field of water not been completed WWTP insufficient cleaning, removal of phosphorus is not, some areas are threatened called flooding. Flash flooding and loss ou retention capability - i.e. the ability to hold or delay sufficient water. The main topics for solutions : drought and the effects of climate change, protection of turnips h resources , excessive wind and water erosion of soil, the threat of flooding and implementation of flood control measures . Program: • Supporting the fight against drought and water retention in the landscape in the South Moravian Region in 2018 • Reduction of emissions from local household heating in the South Moravian Region Source: Drought and yield of main crops for the Czech Republic and South Moravia The proposed action from South Moravian region is strongly linked with phenomenon of the wider region. In Water Smart Territories platform, the Olomoucký kraj is represented by our company (CREA Hydro&Energy). Additionally,and as a second action, we are using the priorities of South Moravian region for the proposition of new common research (or project). In pilot PoVE Water, which is a transnational project that draws on existing and emerging needs for professional competences, skills in the water sector and translates them into excellent professional quality. This ensures upward convergence of VET with knowledge triangles (EU) and strong involvement in regional economic and social ecosystems. The aim of the project is to create the infrastructure necessary for the integration of professional excellence into the water sector in Europe, thereby laying the foundations for the development of professional curricula and consequently the development of student competencies. Therefore, in South Moravian region aims to create a Centre of Vocational excellence with involvement elementary schools and life-long learning education.. .

Říha) Transformation of the identity of a region: Theory and the empirical case of the perceptual regions of Bohemia and Moravia, Czech Republic Petr MAREK a * Abstract By using the concept of perceptual region – an essential part of the identity of a region and a part of every person’s mental map – this paper demonstrates a way to examine the understudied transformation of (the identity of) a region and, specifically, its territorial shape (boundaries). This concept effectively fuses the “institutionalisation of regions” theory and the methodologies of behavioural geography. This case study of the perceptual regions of Bohemia and Moravia shows how and why these historical regions and their boundary/boundaries developed, after a significant deinstitutionalisation by splitting into smaller regions in an administrative reform. Many people now perceive the Bohemian-Moravian boundary according to the newly-emerged regional boundaries, which often ignore old (historical) boundaries.

  • The Development of the Health and Social Care Sector in the Regions of the Czech Republic in Comparison with Other EU Countries
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article The Development of the Health and Social Care Sector in the Regions of the Czech Republic in Comparison with other EU Countries Erika Urbánková Department of Economic Theories, Faculty of Economics and Management, Czech University of Life Sciences, Prague 16500, Czech Republic; [email protected] Received: 6 April 2019; Accepted: 29 May 2019; Published: 3 June 2019 Abstract: In this paper, the quantitative status of employees in the Health and Social Care sector in the Czech Republic is assessed, and the future development of the sector is predicted both for the Czech Republic as a whole, and for individual regions according to the NUTS3 classification. At present, labor market prognoses are created using the ROA-CERGE model, which includes the main professions in the Health and Social Care sector. This article expands the predictions by adding the regional level and using extrapolation of time series, and it identifies the regions important for the given sector and the labor force. The position of the Czech Republic with regard to selected professions in comparison with other countries of the European Union, i.e., its qualitative status, is also assessed in the paper. The following professions are assessed: general nurses and midwives (both with and without a specialization), physicians, and professional assistants. Healthcare workers do not manifest geographical mobility between regions and work primarily in the region where they live. Since the Czech Republic’s accession to the EU, staff working in key professions have been able to work under comparable conditions in any of the member states. The workforce flow depends, among other things, on its qualitative representation in the given country.

  • Czech Republic Heart of Europe Location
    Czech Republic Heart of Europe Location • The Czech Republic is a landlocked country in Central Europe. The country is bordered by Germany to the west, Poland to the north, Austria to the south and Slovakia to the east. • Capital, with 1.3 million inhabitants, is Prague. • Population: 10 562 214 (census 2011), density 134/km2 • Currency: Czech crown, Kč (CZK) • Language: Czech (Slavic) • Area: 78 866 km2 Geography • Map with traditional regions Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and current administrative regions • Big cities: Brno, Ostrava, Plzeň, Liberec, Olomouc, Ústí nad Labem, České Budějovice, Hradec Králové, Pardubice Nature • The Czech landscape is exceedingly varied. Bohemia, to the west, consists of a basin drained by the Elbe (Czech: Labe) and the Vltava (or Moldau) rivers, surrounded by mostly low mountains, such as the Krkonoše range of the Sudetes. The highest point in the country, Sněžka at 1,602 m, is located here. • Moravia, the eastern part of the country, is also quite hilly. It is drained mainly by the Morava River, but it also contains the source of the Oder River (Czech: Odra). Climate • The Czech Republic has a temperate continental climate, with relatively hot summers and cold, cloudy and snowy winters. The temperature difference between summer and winter is relatively high, due to the landlocked geographical position. • At the highest peak of Sněžka (1,602 m), the average temperature is only −0.4 °C, whereas in the lowlands of the South Moravian Region, the average temperature is as high as 10 °C. The country's capital, Prague, has a similar average temperature, although this is influenced by urban factors.

Naše gospodarstvo/ Concepts of national and regional innovation systems can serve as an analytical Our Economy, 62(1), 46–55. DOI: framework forming the empirical base for innovation policy creation. It is 10.1515/ngoe-2016-0005 possible to distinguish various types of these systems. One of these typologies is based on the assessment of innovation deficiencies. There are three types of regions: metropolitan, peripheral, and old industrial. Metropolitan regions can be characterized by a high level of research, innovation, and patent activity. The aims of this paper are to find relevant indicators that can be used as the basis for defining metropolitan regional innovation systems and using them for the identification of Czech metropolitan regions. The results of the point method combined with the cluster analysis showed that the capital city, Prague, as well as the South Moravian, Pardubice, Central Bohemian, Pilsen, and Liberec Regions can be defined as metropolitan regions. Key words: regional innovation system, knowledge, innovation, region, Czech Republic, metropolitan region 1 Introduction Innovation is an essential prerequisite for economic prosperity and wealth creation, because it has a significant influence on socio-economic development and its long-term sustainability.

  • Action Plan South Moravia
    D.T1.4.7 Action plan of the South Moravian Version 2.0 Region 2/2020 Revised version 1. Introduction The development of subnodes in peri-urban regions adjacent to primary TEN-T hubs is a proper new approach to better connect the hinterland to TEN-T nodes. These secondary hubs require more attention in view of making public transport more attractive. The jointly elaborated SubNodes strategy formulates basic principles how regions should adjust their passenger mobility policy to better respond to these new opportunities for medium-sized cities in the surroundings of primary hubs. Based on the SubNodes Strategy, the respective subnodes per region was identified and assessed. The present Action plan describes in detail the implemented pilot actions which was carried out in the South Moravian Region during April 2019 and December 2020. 2. Regional Overview and Status Quo before Pilot Action The two sites of pilot actions (Židlochovice Town and Hustopeče Town) are situated in the Southwest (NUTS- 2) within South Moravian Region (NUTS-3), Czech Republic. Map 1: Regional overview map Strana 1 The main strength of both regional public transport hubs is a high-quality of public transport as a part of Integrated Transport System of the South Moravian Region. Also the high support of municipalities and authorities means a huge encouragement for KORDIS JMK to implement this transport change. On the other hand, weakness of both sites was absence of connection direct to TEN-T rail line and not direct electrified railway connection to Brno. As opportunity we may consider already existing rail line and for commuters shortening of travel time and better transport availability for the whole area.

Panel 2013+ is in the list of Key features & The Programme is designed to provide priority measures for the construction sector. objectives: financial support for reconstruction and modernisation of all types of blocks of Figure 1: Support in construction sector flats, which must include measures leading to reduced energy intensity. Implementation date: 08/08/2014 - 2020 Targeted beneficiaries: Households, Construction companies, Trades people Targeted sub-sectors: Construction and related trades, Energy service sector Budget (EUR): € 22 Million (2015) € 23.3 Million (2016) In a nutshell In the Czech Republic, the majority of residential blocks were built between 1954 and 1994; nearly 1.2 million flats were built under prefab technologies across the country. 1 Technological faults were a feature of this type of construction at the time creating low- quality housing. Poor insulation, water leakages and a weakening metal structure in these buildings have an impact on safety of occupiers and energy loss; therefore consumers are paying a high price for the inefficient building. Further, modernisation of these blocks requires substantial financial resources. 2 Today, approximately 25-30% housing blocks have been reconstructed and modernised in order to achieve increased energy efficiency and improved overall housing quality. The Czech State Housing Development Fund launched the Panel 2013+ programme in August 2014 (Government Regulation No. 468/2012 Co 3) as an initiative designed to provide financial support for reconstruction and modernisation of all types of blocks of flats across the country.
