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.

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.

  • Depopulation and Extinction of Villages in Moravia and the Czech Part of Silesia Since World War II
    land Article Depopulation and Extinction of Villages in Moravia and the Czech Part of Silesia since World War II Antonín Vaishar * , Hana Vavrouchová , Andrea Lešková and Veronika Peˇrinková Department of Applied and Landscape Ecology, Faculty of AgriSciences, Mendel University, Brno-sever-Cernˇ á Pole 613 00, Czech Republic; [email protected] (H.V.); [email protected] (A.L.); [email protected] (V.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: A thousand villages disappeared in Czechia during the course of historic development. There are two basic causes of the disappearance of villages: artificial human intervention (planned changes or hostile liquidation) and gradual depopulation due to remoteness and poor conditions for development, possibly in combination with natural disasters. The greatest number of extinct villages is related to the period after World War II, when many villages in the borderland, from which the German population was displaced, were demolished or abandoned. The aim of the article is to clarify the causes of the extinction of villages, its impact on the landscape and on the settlement system, as well as the possibilities of preserving the historical and cultural memory of extinct places. Finally, the danger of extinction of villages at the present time is discussed. This article points out that it is currently not necessary or effective to have the dense network of settlements that was present in the Middle Ages, when the population density was conditional to the limited technological potential of agriculture and transport. The main argument for preserving villages is their spiritual and cultural value, and their genius loci.

Travels Through History Past & Present in Prague and Central Bohemia By Martin Votruba While I was born and raised in Southern California, my parents migrated from, what was then, Czechoslovakia in the late 1960’s – when Communism control intensified and they felt threatened. They left behind family members in Prague, and in a couple smaller outlying towns, and relocated to Los Angeles, California. Growing up, we only spoke Czech at home; my parents reasoned that I would learn and practice plenty of English at school. I have always been proud of my family roots and I am grateful to retain some of the language and culture. In the early 1980s, while Czechoslovakia was still under communist control, my parents sent me there to visit some of the family they left behind. I spent about six weeks with aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents in and around Prague.

Dimension (short) Historical background Media education policies prior to European recommendation has started almost as a grass root movement in the Czech Republic (CR). Media education was put on the public and ministerial agenda by academics, some attempts to start media criticism as an informal media education can be traced in 1990s. The main actors were mostly teachers of secondary schools, academics and few journalists. The source of resistance was mainly: rigid educational system, archaic concept of the structure and content of “general education”, force of inertia of teachers´ training, and lack of understanding among main stream media journalists. The main controversies were: the fear of unbearable increase of amount of learning load for pupils and students and general underestimation of the need for media literacy. Media education was not presented as a tool to address the contemporary crisis in educational systems. It was associated with curricular reform. Media education in the transformation process of the Czech society The Czech Republic has undergone quite a fundamental change of the general concept of education after the end of Cold War connected with the transformation of the whole political and social systems.
