  • Prague's Public Space and Franz Kafka's Readings of Prague
    MAREK NEKULA The Divided City: Prague’s Public Space and Franz Kafka’s Readings of Prague It is no surprise that the monuments on Prague’s squares, riverbanks, and hills reflect the national ideologies from which they emanated. In the nineteenth century, when the first memorial monuments were founded, middle-class civic society used them to present and pass on its values to viewers in public space, viewers who themselves may have been nationally indifferent. In nineteenth-century Prague, these values were above all national in character: for the Czech and German mid- dle classes, language-based nationalism dominated all other values; it determined the political programs of most Czech and German political parties, as well as more private choices, such as where parents sent their children to schools. Czech middle-class nationalists demanded that the Czech language and Czech people be given equal standing with the Germans, while German middle-class nationalists wanted to maintain the status quo. Both groups were becoming more and more interested in creating linguistically distinct spaces that would be dominated by the language and symbols of Czech and German nationalism. In Prague, public space became the staging ground for national discourse, where adherents of monolingual national ideologies competed with one another and attempted to control public opinion in various ways, including the domina- tion of public space. One of the ways to control and speak to the public was to properly stage ceremonial acts, for example the funerals of Václav Hanka, Karel Havlíček Borovský and Božena Němcová or the laying of the first stone of the Czech National Theater.

Using knowledge of general development and knowing the basic triad of concentration characterized by the triadic measure of chaos, order, and choice (chaos—order— choice), we will try to unify the dualities of (1) system – deci- sion, (2) city – human, and (3) order – chaos. In the first part of this book, we will therefore focus in detail on the essence of decisions and the process by which deci- sions are made: also known as decision-making. Using several analogies between human decision-making and processes tak- ing place in the highest management layers of the city, we will try to illustrate the essence of making every single decision.

The number of foreign tourists grows significantly in the Czech Republic, and so does the share of Prague. All marketing campaigns aiming to get foreign tourists beyond Prague ended inefficient. The share of Prague on the number of tourists accommodated in standard accommodation facilities on the total number of tourists in the Czech Republic (CZ) is 62%. Prague is also the only region with a higher number of foreign tourists than Czech tourists (85% of tourists in Prague are foreigners). Prague is therefore struggling with overtourism in some attractive areas and must deal with unsustainable development. Keywords: Benchmarking, City tourism, Overtourism, Prague, Urban tourism 1. Introduction The number of tourists has grown for seven years in a row in the Czech Republic (ČSÚ, 2019d). Even though the CzechTourism agency has been working on diversification in communication and spreading of awareness of the beauty of other regions in the Czech Republic, most tourists are still headed to Prague. Some areas (main tourist attractions) are visited by excessive numbers of tourists that reach limits of sustainability.
