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. -
Identification of Czech Metropolitan Regions: How to Improve Targeting RECEIVED: NOVEMBER 2015 of Innovation Policy REVISED: FEBRUARY 2016
REVIEW PAPER Identification of Czech Metropolitan Regions: How to improve targeting RECEIVED: NOVEMBER 2015 of innovation policy REVISED: FEBRUARY 2016 ACCEPTED: FEBRUARY 2016 Viktorie Klímová Faculty of Economics and Administration, Masaryk University, Czech Republic [email protected] DOI: 10.1515/ngoe-2016-0005 UDK: 711.451:001.895(437.3) Vladimír Žítek Faculty of Economics and Administration, Masaryk University, Czech Republic JEL: R11, O31 [email protected] Citation: Klímová, V., & Žítek, V. (2016). Identification of Czech Metropolitan Abstract Regions: How to improve targeting of innovation policy. 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. -
Rationale for Government Resolution No. 315 of 26 March 2021
Rationale for Government Resolution No. 315 of 26 March 2021 The current epidemiological situation is still unfavorable and the risk of the further spread of COVID-19 in the population is still very high despite the continuous decline in cases. Yesterday’s value of 7,853 (25 March 2021) is almost 3,000 fewer cases than last week (10,651; 18 March 2021), and the trend of the last two weeks, in which we have seen relatively lower daily values in week-on-week comparisons, continues. Given the still very high values, it is crucial for the epidemic to be slowed down and for the current decline to continue. Another important indicator of the overall population burden is the number of cases in the 65+ age category where, despite the continued decline, we are still seeing high figures; the share of the total is stable, around 15 to 16%. From an overall perspective, the current situation is still deemed a very high risk and “fragile”, because despite the continued decline we are still seeing very high daily figures of COVID-19 cases, especially as concerns the number of cases in the senior category (65+), albeit with a declining tendency. The value of the 7-day average had dropped below 8,000 cases, and is currently at 7,636 (the lowest value since 14 February 2021). It applies also for this indicator that despite the gradual decline, from a long-term perspective we are still at very high values. Regionally, the highest figures yesterday in descending order were reported in Central Bohemia (1,108), South Moravia (917), Ústí (848), Prague (796), Moravia-Silesia (755), South Bohemia (729), Pardubice (492), Vysočina (457), Zlín (371), Plzeň (369), Liberec (365), Olomouc (358), Hradec Králové (232), and once again the least in the Karlovy Vary region with 31 cases. -
Cultural Tourism As a Driver of Rural Development. Case Study: Southern Moravia
sustainability Article Cultural Tourism as a Driver of Rural Development. Case Study: Southern Moravia Milada Št’astná * , Antonín Vaishar, Jiˇrí Brychta, Kristýna Tuzová, Jan Zloch and Veronika Stodolová Department of Applied and Landscape Ecology, Mendel University in Brno, Brno 61300, Czech Republic; [email protected] (A.V.); [email protected] (J.B.); [email protected] (K.T.); [email protected] (J.Z.); [email protected] (V.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +420-606-580-412 Received: 13 October 2020; Accepted: 29 October 2020; Published: 31 October 2020 Abstract: The main aim of the study was to find out whether cultural tourism could be a driver of rural development in the selected area and in general. In case yes, to what extent and under what conditions. Three districts in the South-Moravian Region, Znojmo, Bˇreclav, and Hodonín, situated in the rural borderland with Austria and Slovakia represented the study area. Both geographical and sociological methods were used to gather evidence for cultural tourism in that study. Firstly, attractiveness analysis of the area defined for cultural tourism took place. Next, factors influencing the potential for cultural tourism affecting rural development in South Moravia were evaluated. Finally, synergistic relations were discussed. In the territory, many forms of tourism intersect. Based on the results, it can be stated that cultural tourism can hardly be the main driver of rural development after the decline of agriculture because the region’s economy has branched out in several directions. However, it can be an important complementary activity that yields both economic and non-economic benefits. -
Regional Action Plan Liberec Region
REGIONAL ACTION PLAN LIBEREC REGION – LOWER SILESIA For improving cross-border passenger rail Final transport Liberec Region - Lower Silesia 11 2018 D.T2.1.2 Page 1 The Trans-Borders project is to make a significant contribution to further development of German-Polish-Czech cooperation in the field of rail passenger transport. In recent years, quantitative, temporal and quality improvement has been noted between Lower Silesia and the Liberec Region, but this process requires continuation as public transport is still not fully competitive with, for example, individual means of transport. Targeted measures within the cross-border project will allow the process that has already started to continue. The development and implementation of a regional action plan aimed at connecting the cross-border region between Lower Silesia and the Liberec Region will contribute to connecting this area with the nearest TEN-T hubs in Wrocław and Praha and will improve not only its communication accessibility but also its attractiveness. The implementation of the regional action plan will support the strategy for sustainable cross-border passenger transport and will correspond to the proposed measures and actions. Page 2 MOTIVATION Linking the peripheral area of Borderland CZ/D/PL to the TEN-T node The neighbouring regions of Lower Silesia and the Liberec Region are located between two corridors of the European railway traffic core network, namely the Orient/East-Med Corridor and the Baltic-Adriatic corridor. For the development of both regions, it is necessary to improve access to the corridors and their respective hubs in Wrocław, Praha and Dresden and between them. -

Chapters in the History of Karlovy Vary
Chapters in the History of Karlovy Vary. Dr Stanislav Burachovič 1. The Spa Founded by Emperor Charles IV. The origin and development of Karlovy Vary has always been inseparably linked with the beneficial effects of its local thermal mineral springs. They have marked its history, architecture, economy, and its entire genius loci. The popular legend about the discovery of the local springs in the middle of the 14th century by Charles IV, King of Bohemia and the Holy Roman Emperor, while deer hunting has to be relegated to the realm of fantasy. The establishment of a little spa town on the confluence of the Ohře (Eger) and Teplá (Warm) Rivers during the reign of Charles IV surely wasn’t such a random and romantic enterprise as told in the old legend, but it was the almost expected developmental consequence of a place that had been long known for its curative and cultic traditions. The exact date the town was founded is unknown. The beginnings of a permanent settlement at the thermal site should be placed sometime around the year 1349. However, traces of man’s presence in the vicinity of Karlovy Vary are much older. Archaeological explorations discovered evidence of several settlements situated in the current territory of the town that date back to prehistoric times. It has been clearly shown that people already populated the immediate surroundings of Karlovy Vary in the 13th century. It is presumed that they were already well aware of the healing effects of Karlovy Vary’s thermal waters and were using them for treatment. -

Geographia Technica, Vol. 15, Issue 2, 2020, pp 191 to 201 WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM BROWNFIELD DATABASES? EXPLORING SPECIFICS OF THE LOCATION OF BROWNFIELDS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC Jaroslav SKRABAL1 DOI: 10.21163/GT_2020.152.18 ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to advance our understanding of brownfield locations in municipalities and cities situated in the Czech Republic. The data on brownfields was obtained from the National Brownfield Database which is coordinated by the CzechInvest Agency in the Czech Republic. The analysed period of the paper are the years 2018 and 2020. In 2018, 460 brownfields were analysed with an area of 2,334.65 hectares and in 2020 there were 572 abandoned buildings and sites with a total area of 2,320.09 hectares. The data on brownfields are based on the regions of NUTS 3 level. Each brownfield was then divided according to its location, i.e. whether it is located in the centre, in the inner part, outer part or within the development area of the municipalities and cities of the given regions. Based on the obtained data, relative proportions within each region were calculated on the NUTS 3 level for the years 2018 and 2020. It was discovered that brownfields are mostly located in the outer parts of municipalities and cities in both analysed years (2018, 2020). Such finding may influence also the possibility of potential brownfield regeneration. Abandoned buildings and sites that are located in the centres or the inner part of municipalities and cities are generally better preconditioned for a potential regeneration and utilization compared to brownfields that are located in the outer parts or on the margins of the cadastral areas of municipalities and cities of the given country. -

A Practical Guide Turstické informační centrum | City Info ° www.karlovyvary.cz A Practical Guide Karlovy VARY° 2/16 Karlovy Vary From time immemorial, springs have arisen in the valley of the Teplá River. A legend says that the Emperor Charles IV and his entourage went on a hunting trip in the local forests. The Emperor’s hunting dog was chasing a deer. The hunters suddenly heard the dog wailing, and thinking it had been injured in the chase immediately rushed to the place where the sounds of its barking could be heard. But they could not believe their own eyes when they saw the spectacle before them. The dog had fallen into a boiling pool, at the point where the most abundant geyser now rises – the Vřıdlo. But rather than being scalded, its wounds were healed. When the Emperor was informed of this, he went to that place and dipped his limbs into the water, and his body was miraculously healed. After the water had cured his maladies, he ordered the foundation of a settlement in the area of the spring, and thus began the era of the famous local spa. In 1370, the Emperor granted Karlovy Vary the privileges of a royal town. Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad) – the largest Czech spa town, with 600 years of spa tradition, is situated in Central Europe. It is located in the western-most part of the Czech Republic on the confl uence of the Teplá and Ohře rivers, about 120 km from the capital of Prague. The spa is accessible not only by car, but also by plane thanks to the local international airport. -
Development of Kaolin Production, Reserves and Processing in the Czech Republic in 1999–2015
GOSPODARKA SUROWCAMI MINERALNYMi – mINERAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT 2017 Volume 33 Issue 3 Pages 121–142 DOI 10.1515/gospo-2017-0035 JAROMÍR StarÝ*, FRANTišEK PTICEN**, JAKUB JIRÁSEK***, MartIN SIVEK**** Development of kaolin production, reserves and processing in the Czech Republic in 1999–2015 Introduction Kaolin is one of the most important industrial minerals of the Czech Republic. The be- ginning of kaolin production and use in the Czech Republic dates back to the late 18th cen- tury, when the first porcelain factories were founded in Horní Slavkov (1792) and Klášter- ec nad Ohří (1793). A boom in production and processing began in the late 19th century (Hanykýř and Kutzendörfer 2008), when kaolin was mined and used in nearly all of the known deposit areas, primarily in the regions of Karlovy Vary and Plzeň (Fig. 1). Since that time it has continued without interruption, and crude kaolin production hovered annu- ally around 1 million tonnes already in the 1950s. Production increased gradually, ranging around 1.5 million tonnes as early as the beginning of the 1970s, and had risen to 3.5 million tonnes annually by 1988. As a result of the political and economic changes in the Czech Republic after 1989, production declined in the short-term to 2.4 million tonnes in 1993. However, it recovered three years thereafter and stabilized at the present-day annual level of 3–3.5 million tonnes. **** Ph.D., Czech Geological Survey, Praha, Czech Republic; e-mail: [email protected] **** Eng., KERAMEX Group s.r.o., Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic; e-mail: [email protected] **** Ph.D. -
Diana Bílková: Clusters of the Czech Regions and 31 Chosen European
20th International Scientific Conference AMSE Applications of Mathematics and Statistics in Economics 2017 Szklarska Poręba, Poland 30 August 2017 – 3 September 2017 CLUSTERS OF THE CZECH REGIONS AND 31 CHOSEN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ACCORDING TO THE WAGE LEVEL, WAGE MODELS AND GENDER WAGE GAP BY THE CZECH REGIONS DIANA BÍLKOVÁ University of Economics, Prague, Faculty of Informatics and Statistics, Sq. W. Churchill 1938/4, 130 67 Prague 3, Czech Republic email: [email protected] Abstract The main aim of this paper is the creation of the clusters of the Czech regions that are close as possible by the wage level in these regions and clusters of 31 chosen European countries according to the same criterion. The Czech regions were clustered into three or five clusters, while the European countries were clustered into three, five or seven clusters. The number of clusters has been selected based on the number of clustered objects and due to the clarity of the results obtained. Using the methods of cluster analysis, the clusters with similar wage level were created. Methods of the furthest neighbour and Euclidean distance metric were used. For the Czech regions, the model wage distribution was constructed to enable the comparison of wage development during recent seven years. Three-parametric lognormal curves present the basis of the theoretical wage distribution. The special attention was paid to the situation of wage level within European countries and its comparison with the wage level in the Czech Republic. The researched variable is the gross monthly (nominal) wage. Database comes from the official website of the Czech Statistical Office. -
