Bat Casualties by Road Traffic (Brno-Vienna)
Acta Theriologica 54 (2): 147–155, 2009. PL ISSN 0001–7051 Bat casualties by road traffic (Brno-Vienna) Jiøí GAISLER, Zdenìk ØEHÁK and Tomáš BARTONIÈKA Gaisler J., Øehák Z. and Bartonièka T. 2009. Bat casualties by road traffic (Brno-Vienna). Acta Theriologica 54: 147–155. We studied the impact of road E461, Brno-Vienna, on bat mortality, with the goal to predict this impact after the road has been reconstructed and turned into highway, R52. In the Czech territory, two proposed road sections of E461 were selected, 3.5 and 4.5 km long, and divided into segments 100 m in length. Bat carcasses were picked up from emergency stopping lanes, and bat activity was recorded by ultrasound detectors along the road and 100 m away on both sides from the central strip. From May to October 2007, 25 checks of bat mortality performed at weekly intervals revealed 119 bat car- casses representing 11 or 12 species. Pipistrellus nathusii, P. pygmaeus and Myotis daubentonii were the most frequent traffic casualties. The greatest mortality was documented from early July to mid-October, with a peak in September. Monitoring bat activity by ultrasound detectors (one night per month in May, June and September) yielded 12 bat species and 3 spe- cies couples (Myotis mystacinus/brandtii, M. emarginatus/alcathoe, Plecotus auritus/austriacus), mostly the same taxa as found dead on the road. Signifi- cantly greater bat numbers were revealed in the section where the road was situated between two artificial lakes, as compared to a road section without any lakes directly adjacent to the road.

The Housing First for Families in Brno Trial Protocol
Research Notes 133 The Housing First for Families in Brno Trial Protocol: A Pragmatic Single-Site Randomized Control Trial of Housing First Intervention for Homeless Families in Brno, Czech Republic Štěpán Ripka, Eliška Černá, Petr Kubala, Ondřej Krčál and Rostislav Staněk University of Ostrava Masaryk University in Brno \ Abstract_While the Pathways to Housing First (HF) model was designed for ending homelessness of individuals with complex needs, the use of a housing- led approach with families has been documented since late 1980s in the US. New target groups bring new demands on the knowledge base – to date, there has not been any Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) on family HF intervention. This protocol describes the design of a Czech single-site demonstration of RCT with a treatment group of 50 families and presents results of statistical compliance testing of the treatment and control group at baseline. This project is a pragmatic, mixed methods, single-site field trial of the effectiveness of Housing First in Brno, Czech Republic randomised 150 participant homeless families, stratified by number of children, into treatment and control groups. Quantitative outcome measures are collected over a 12-month period and a qualitative process evaluation is being completed. Primary outcomes being measured include a decrease in time the family spent homeless, improvement in security of tenure, improvement of mental health of mothers, and decrease in the use of emergency health services. \ Keywords_Housing first, Randomized Control Trial, homeless families, Czech Republic ISSN 2030-2762 / ISSN 2030-3106 online 134 European Journal of Homelessness _ Volume 12, No. 1, June 2018 Introduction Family homelessness in the Czech Republic and in Brno In 2015, the Czech government estimated there were 68,500 roofless and houseless people in the country, out of them 8,158 children and an additional 118,500 people including children in insecure or inadequate housing (MPSV, 2016).

Analysis of Life Quality Development in the Administrative Districts of South Moravia
Analysis of life quality development in the administrative districts of South Moravia Analýza vývoje kvality života mezi okresy Jihomoravského kraje I. Živělová, J. Jánský Department of Regional and Business Economics, Faculty of Regional Development and International Studies, Mendel University of Agriculture and Forestry, Brno, Czech Republic Abstract: The equable regional development and mitigation of disparities among the individual regions are main obje- ctives of regional policy not only in the Czech Republic but in the whole European Union. The paper presents an analysis of life quality disparities among the administrative districts of the South-Moravian region (Jihomoravský kraj): Blansko, Brno-City, Brno-Province, Břeclav, Hodonín, Vyškov and Znojmo. The region of South Moravia belongs to the regions with a significant economic potential. However, not all districts contribute to this potential equally, the reason being the- ir size, population and life quality. Life quality is affected by the environmental, social and cultural resources and by the region’s economic performance. It can be viewed from various aspects. The work is focused on the life quality indicators of social and cultural resources, which assess demographic development, age and intelligence structures, employment, unemployment and labour market, health care standard and civil amenities. The statistical analysis of the acquired data was made by using the methods of regression and correlation analyses and the cluster analysis. Key words: region, regional disparity, life quality, social aspects, South Moravia, district Abstrakt: Zabezpečení rovnoměrného rozvoje regionů a snižování disparit mezi jednotlivými regiony patří k hlavním cílům regionální politiky nejen v České republice, ale i v celé Evropské unii.

Centre for Efficient Transport, Association CEDOP-Danube
Centre for Efficient Transport / Centrum pro efektivní dopravu (CEDOP) ID: 91401263184-62 Nám. Winstona Churchilla 2, 130 00 Praha 3, Czech Republic Opinion on EU Strategy for the Danube Region OVERALL QUESTIONS Topics – What are the main challenges and opportunities in the Danube Region? There is neccessity to increase „sustainability and quality of life“ in the region. In our opinion it means – among other things - to offer fast, reliable, secure, affordable and climate-, landscape- and enviroment friendly mode for both passenger and goods transport. Such transport mode fulfilling these conditions is railway. An example of opportunity is modal shift from road to rail between Poland and the Czech republic to Germany or Austria. The situation can become threat in case no competitive railway connections will be available in medium-term horizon at latest and the still raising volume of traffic will use road transport. Of course, similar is true for dozens relation in the Region. – Which topics should be covered by the Strategy? Strategy should – among other topics – focus on transport development in direction to sustainable mobility of people and goods and territorial cohesion. – What are the main concrete actions and projects to be recommended in the coming years? Main action should be defining and preparing new railway links to be realized during programming period 2013-2020. Main purpose of these new links is to ● connect important political and economical centres in the Region with „Danube axis“ i.e. with railway Paris – Strasbourg – Stuttgart – Wien - Bratislava (priority project No. 17) and related facilitie (e.g. logistic centres) as well as with Danube river, ● connect neighbouring areas in the Danube Region with a priority to cross-border links.

Abstract Today's society is increasingly fascinated by new smart technologies, and the concept of smart cities is reflected in urban planning both in the rich cities of the developed world and in the cities of the former post-socialist countries. The paper, which is methodologically based on results of qualitative interviews with key experts and analysis of available data and information, pay attention to the challenges that are connected with application of the concept of smart cities in post-socialistic urban space. We use the case of Špitálka project, located in Brno, the Czech Republic to show, how difficult is the transformation of a concrete urban neighbourhood with the occurrence of brownfields to the new smart urban area, which can be used as a model for other Czech cities.
