Demographic, economic, social and cultural characteristics of the Czech Republic 1. The total area of the Czech Republic is 78,866 square kilometres and as at 31 December 2006, the total population of the Czech Republic was 10,266,646. 1 Its population density is 130 inhabitants per square kilometre. 2 2. Increase in the number of live births to 105.8 thousand, together with a decline in the number of deaths to 104.4 thousand resulted in a positive natural increase which in 2006 stood at 1.4 thousand people, while last time positive natural increase was recorded in 1993. After adding increase due to foreign migration (34.7 thousand people), the resulting population increase by 36.1 thousand people was recorded in the Czech Republic during 2006. Total fertility rate increased to 1.33 live births per woman at childbearing age. The total population of the Czech Republic has been steadily increasing for the fourth year now, however, till 2005 this was exclusively due to the immigration of foreigners. The population increase of 36.1 thousand people in 2006 was the highest figure since the formation of a separate Czech Republic in 1993. 3. Increase in the birth rate in the Czech Republic since 2002 had been preceded by its dramatic decline compared to the previous period which even despite slightly declining mortality resulted in population loss and which could not have been offset not even by positive migration – therefore, since 1994 the population has been declining. This trend of the total population balance has been reversed only in 2003, since when the population has been increasing, but only thanks to foreign migration surplus. 3 1 http://www.czso.cz/csu/redakce.nsf/c5cfebca9de6e905c125723a004180a6/70205e505233c01cc12570820040b7e7/ $FILE/oby01.xls 2 http://www.czso.cz/csu/2006edicniplan.nsf/p/4032-06 3 Since 2001, (in connection with the 2001 Population and Housing Census of the Czech Republic) the data include also foreign nationals with long stay (over 90 days) visa (under Act No. 326/1999 Coll. on residence of foreign nationals) and foreign nationals who have been granted asylum (under Act No. 325/1999 Coll., on asylum). Since 1 May 2004, in connection with the so-called Euro-amendment to Act No. 326/1999 Coll., on residence of foreign nationals, the data pertain to citizens of EU Member States with a temporary residence in the territory of the Czech Republic and citizens of third countries with a long-term residence in the territory of the Czech Republic. 3 4. In the course of 2006, 105.8 thousand live births were recorded in the Czech Republic, which was by 3.6 thousand more than in the previous year and the highest number since 1995, when the number of live births for the first time dropped under a hundred thousand children. The five-year period 2001 - 2005 in the context of evaluation of the long-term development of the number of births has changed the trend – after a significant decline, an increase was recorded. 2005, after ten years, was again the year in which the number of births exceeded the 100,000 level. 5. However fertility still remains to be low, in the long-term does not guarantee simple reproduction of the population. The continuing trend of postponement of childbirth till higher age has been proved by the fact that the average age of mothers further increased by 0.3 years to 28.9 years in the aggregate and to 26.9 years at birth of the first child. 6. The number of marriages was in 2006 by 1.0 thousand higher than in 2005 and reached 52.9 thousand. At the same time in the course of 2006, 31.4 thousand divorces were recorded which was by 127 higher than in 2005. The total divorce rate was 48.7 % of marriages ending in divorce. 7. In 2006, life expectancy at birth increased by more than half a year, compared to the previous period, to 73.4 years among men and 79.7 years among women. 8. The composition of the population in terms of the total share of women and men is stable: the share of women is slightly higher. In 2005, as at 31 December, of the total population, there were 10,251,079 women, i.e. 51.2 % (in the period 2000 – 2004 it was always 51.3 %). However, the share of women and men in individual age groups is different. Up to the age of thirty, the share of men is slightly higher. Between thirty and 49 years, the proportion between sexes is almost balanced and starting from fifty years, women start to prevail which is even more marked with higher age , in the 70- 79 age bracket, the ratio of men to women is 60.4 % : 39.6 % and among older people this ratio is 69.6 % : 30,4 %. 9. The above data are summarized in the table below Unit of Indicator 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 measure Population thousand 10 224 10 200 10 201 10 206 10 234 10 266 (Mid year-) population persons 192 774 651 923 092 646 4 Including those aged: thousand 0–14 persons 1 643 1 605 1 571 1 539 1 514 1 490 thousand 15–64 persons 7 168 7 180 7 211 7 240 7 275 7 308 thousand 65+ persons 1 413 1 416 1 420 1 428 1 445 1 469 thousand thereof: women persons 5 245 5 236 5 233 5 235 5 243 5 254 Life expectancy at birth men Years 72,1 72,1 72,0 72,5 72,9 73,4 women Years 78,4 78,5 78,5 79,0 79,1 79,7 Live births per 1,000 population ‰ 8,9 9,1 9,2 9,6 10,0 10,3 Deaths per 1,000 population ‰ 10,5 10,6 10,9 10,5 10,5 10,2 Natural increase/loss per 1,000 population ‰ -1,7 -1,5 -1,7 -0,9 -0,6 0,1 Marriages per 1,000 population ‰ 5,1 5,2 4,8 5,0 5,1 5,1 Divorces per 1,000 population ‰ 3,09 3,11 3,22 3,24 3,06 3,06 Divorces per 100 marriages % 60,3 60,2 67,1 64,3 60,4 59,4 National accounts CZK billion, current Production prices 5 874,0 6 033,2 6 385,4 7 060,5 7 531,9 8 421,4 (previous year = 100) %, s. c. 107,3 103,1 105,1 106,8 105,6 110,8 CZK billion, current Intermediate consumption prices 3 741,6 3 793,1 4 042,3 4 528,2 4 845,6 5 516,6 (previous year = 100) %, s. c. 110,1 103,4 106,4 108,1 105,1 113,0 CZK billion, current Gross domestic product 4 prices 2 352,2 2 464,4 2 577,1 2 817,4 2 994,4 3 220,3 (previous year = 100) %, s. c. 102,5 101,9 103,6 104,6 106,5 106,4 CZK billion, current Gross national income prices 2 273,2 2 352,1 2 466,1 2 661,3 2 846,4 3 042,0 (previous year = 100) %, s. c. 103,0 102,8 104,2 103,4 105,7 .

Blaheta et al. (photo: T. Krejčí, E. Nováková (2×), Z. 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.

    DETUROPE – THE CENTRAL EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM Vol. 8 Issue 1 2016 ISSN 1821-2506 Original scientific paper DESTINATION ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE SOUTH BOHEMIAN REGION FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF SPATIAL DATA ANALYSIS ATRAKTIVNOST JIHOČESKÉHO KRAJE PRO CESTOVNÍ RUCH OČIMA PROSTOROVÉ ANALÝZY DAT Renata KLUFOVÁ a a University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Faculty of Economics, phone: +420 387 772 707, e-mail: [email protected] Cite this article: Klufová, R. Destination attractiveness of the South Bohemian region from the viewpoint of spatial data analysis. Deturope, 8, 1: 92-111 Abstract The aim of this paper is the evaluation of the South Bohemia region's destination attractiveness. The dimensionality of data describing the chosen attractions of the area was reduced by the factor analysis into six factors which served as an input for hot spot analysis. The hot spots analysis identifies clusters of high and low values of the factors. Cluster analysis of factor served then as a tool for a typology of the South Bohemian region according to its attractiveness for tourism. The paper shows the possibilities of spatial statistics and spatial data analysis usage in the evaluation of the area attractiveness. Obtained results can be used in the decision sphere for tourism attractions planning. Keywords: destination attractiveness, destination management, hot spots analysis, spatial statistics Abstract Cílem příspěvku je hodnocení destinační atraktivnosti Jižních Čech. Dimenzionalita dat popisujících vybrané atraktivity v území byla redukována pomocí faktorové analýzy do šesti faktorů, jež posloužily jako vstup pro hot spots analýzu. Ta posloužila k identifikaci vysokých a nízkých hodnot daného faktoru atraktivnosti.

  • Identification of Czech Metropolitan Regions: How to Improve Targeting RECEIVED: NOVEMBER 2015 of Innovation Policy REVISED: FEBRUARY 2016

(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.

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.

    Studia Ekonomiczne. Zeszyty Naukowe Uniwersytetu Ekonomicznego w Katowicach ISSN 2083-8611 Nr 361 · 2018 Ekonomia 15 Jaroslav Urminský VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava Faculty of Economics Department of Regional and Environmental Economics [email protected] REGIONAL STRUCTURE OF HEADQUARTERS OF LARGEST ENTERPRISES IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC FROM QUANTITATIVE PERSPECTIVE Summary: Largest enterprises play a crucial role in the economies of countries, regions and localities. This paper deals with spatial structure of headquarters of largest enterprises in the NUTS III regions in the Czech Republic. Attention is devoted primarily to industry and service companies. We concentrate on selected aspects, such as economic power or geographic concentration. The Lorenz curve and Theil index are use to express of the above concentration. We observe clear differences among largest enterprises in the service and industrial sector in terms of turnover size in 2015. The results of Theil index show that headquarters of largest enterprises in the service sector are much more concentrated than their industrial counterparts. The same holds true for turnover concentration. Dominant po- sition is occupied by Prague and its surroundings. In this region almost 50% of headquar- ters of the largest enterprises is located, which generates almost 50% of the total turnover. Keywords: largest enterprises, headquarters, Theil index, NUTS III Regions, Czech Republic. JEL Classification: R10, R11, D22, L29. Introduction Largest enterprises play a crucial role in the economies of countries, regions and localities. Largest enterprises dispose of significant production and capital capabilities or research and development infrastructure interconnected with in- novation potential. They are constitutive for the labour market by creating new direct and indirect jobs.
