REGIONAL CITIES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF QUALITY OF LIFE

New analytical and promotional publication brings the evaluation of regional cities based on the selected available variables on quality of life important not only at local and national level, but also at European level for monitoring the quality of life in European cities. Throu- gh the statistical data we analyse the development of individual aspects in the last years and we chose a simple and graphically understandable form on interes- ting information on eight largest Slovak cities.

First of all a little bit of statistics. More than half of the world population live in cities. In Slovakia, we have 140 towns of dierent sizes, starting with the town Dudince with 1.4 thousand inhabitants up to the capital city with almost 433 thousand inhabitants. Out of the total of 5,5 million population, almost 54 % in total, live in cities and towns.

Focusing on cities In general, cities are the centres of jobs, education, cultural and sporting life with all the services and health care available. But their quality of life varies. Cities also struggle with dierent problems, from ageing and a decrease of population, migration through the uncontrolled building developments, transport issues or pollution. Developing cities, which will be healthy and dynamic is not only the challenge of the current period. This initiative has been formed globally for decades. In last years it acquired clearer outlines, when the city dimension was included into the actual programmes, objectives and policies.

Why we need city statistics The development of cities has a big and justified importance. In 2015, it was ranked among the 17 main Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. The Goal 11 Sustainable cities and communities aims to make cities and urban settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Moreover, in May 2016, the Pact of Amsterdam on Urban Agenda for the European Union was adopted and besides the better regulation, funding and knowledge of cities it focuses also on the need of reliable statis- tical data necessary in the decision-making processes.

Slovak cities as part of the European city statistics An increasing demand on the evaluation of the quality of life in cities started a joint initiative of the Europe- an Commission and Eurostat (Statistical O ce of the European Communities). The main objective is to provide collection of quantitative statistical data on the quality of life in European cities and regions to support the EU policies in the area of urban and rural development. The national statistical o ces of the European countries are the main coordinators and ensure the collecti- on of statistical data on the national level. They provide a set of statistical indicators not only for cities, but also their commuting zones enabling to monitor the interconnections between the cities and their surroun- dings. 6 from the history of European city statistics...

year 1999 - first collection of statistical data on cities In total, 58 largest European cities were included in the pilot project. Initial list of indicators from dierent domains quantifying the level of quality of life in cities was defined.

year 2003 - Slovak cities on the list of European cities After the successful pilot project, the initiative was extended to statistical data collection in cities within the whole Europe. Four Slovak cities - Bratislava, Košice, Nitra, Banská Bystrica – were included in the list of European cities.

year 2005 - collecting historical data In addition to the current data collection there was an interest to find out the quality of life through selected variables in previous years, reference years were 1991 and 1996.

year 2006 – other Slovak cities included in the collection The remaining four regional capitals were included - Trnava, Trenčín, Žilina and Prešov.

year 2009 – collecting statistical data on yearly basis Initially the data collection was realized in three- or four- year period. The demand for more complex time series led to the yearly statistical data collection. The list of variables was gradually updated by the data availability.

present – regional cities as part of European city statistics In recent years, city statistics became an important part of European statistical surveys. The indica- tors are updated also according to the user requirements......

The result of the initiative is also the publication you are holding in your hands. We present the evaluation of regional cities based on the selected available indicators on the quality of life important not only at European and national level, but mainly at local level. We have chosen simple and graphically understandable view of interesting information on the eight largest Slovak cities and we believe you will find out something new about Slovakia also in this way.

7 METHODOLOGICAL NOTES

Basic terms The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics, referred to as NUTS, defines the administrati- ve division of the EU Member States. The classification is supplemented by territorial typologies defining dierent territorial types. These typologies are defined at three territorial levels by basic units used for their definition: 1. statistical grid level - 1 km2 grid cells 2. local typologies - local administrative units (local level) 3. regional typologies – regions at NUTS 3 level (regional level)

Territorial types used in European city statistics are based on local typologies: cities - local administrative units with at least 50 thousand inhabitants functional, urban areas – cities with their commuting zones

Definition of cities and their functional urban areas in Slovakia

Košice...... Banská...... Bystrica Košice city and Banská Bystrica district Košice-okolie district

Nitra ...... ci�es ...... Bratislava Nitra district Bratislavský kraj func�onal urban areas

8 In Slovakia, the data collection within the European city statistics is carried out for regional capitals. Their functional urban areas are defined at district level. Bratislava capital is the exception with the functional urban area involving the NUTS 3 region. They are defined as follows: city functional urban area Bratislava Bratislavský kraj Trnava Trnava district Trenčín Trenčín district Nitra Nitra district Žilina Žilina district Banská Bystrica Banská Bystrica district Prešov Prešov district Košice Košice city and Košice-okolie district

Symbols and abbreviations used ESA – European System of National and Regional Accounts FUA - functional urban area GDP – gross domestic product LFS – Labour Force Sample Survey Census – population and housing census pp – percentage point

Data for individual indicators are evaluated and compared for the available reference years of the city statis- tics data collection. In case of unavailable data at city level, selected indicators were evaluated at the regio- nal level. The time series of statistical indicators were compiled in such a way that their methodological comparabili- ty was maintained throughout the observed period. Variations in sums and shares arise from data rounding.

Data sources: databases of the Statistical O ce of the SR and Eurostat. Each indicator has a code under which the statistical data for the given indicator is stored in the respective database. Data is collected from surveys of the SO SR, in case of downloaded data, the information on the data source is given next to the indicator. Data on the distances of cities from the capital are taken from www.slovakiasite.com. 9 Statistical classification of economic activities SK NACE Rev. 2
