Introduction Prague dominates the settlement and regional system in the Czech Republic. The city accounts for 12% of the country’s population, 15% of jobs and over 25% of the GDP.1 The region is defined by the exact boundaries of the city and does not include its close surroundings: Prague has special status, as both a municipality and as a region, enclosed by the region of Central Bohemia. 1.1. History and location Prague has a favourable position with respect to the neighbouring states; it is located at a distance of 120 km from the borders of Germany and Poland, 150 km from Austria and about 250 km from Slovakia.2 Prague is at the centre of the Central Bohemia region. It extends over an area of 496 sq. km, which is 0.6% of the area of the CR. Prague has a very varied topography. The inner city is located in the large valley of the Vltava River, which divides it into two sections. The outer city is spread out over the surrounding elevated plateau. The altitude differences between the various areas of the city make transport solutions and other line constructions more challenging. The central bodies of the public and private sectors are clustered there, as are the offices of Czech and foreign companies. The outer city is the location for new residential developments and the development of commercial and logistic centres. One third of the area of Prague is covered by greenery. One tenth of the city's territory is utilised for residential development. 1.2. Basic socio-economic characteristics Economic development In terms of GDP per capita, Prague significantly outperforms the EU average and dominates other Czech regions including other metropolitan regions (see Table 1).3 Prague is one of the most- developed EU NUTS 2 regions according to GDP per capita (173 percent of the EU27 average in 2011). The dominance of Prague has strengthened significantly during transition, and no other Czech region has improved its relative economic standing to a similar extent. According to data from the Czech statistical Office, in 2013 Prague accounted for over 25% of national GDP. Basic features of the economic development of Prague are the strengthening of the service sector and the decreasing share of productive industries in gross value added: the service sector now represents more than 80% of the total gross value added in Prague. This is reflected in employment data. In 2009, 80% of all employed in Prague worked in services. In contrast, the share of industrial sector in creation of value added and employment is much lower than the national average. Industry as a branch does not have such an important position in Prague as in other regions of the Czech Republic. A crucial branch for Prague’s economy is tourism. Prague has become a favourite 1 POLYCE (2012) Metropolisation and Polycentric Development in Central Europe Targeted Analysis 2013/2/12 2 City of Prague (2007) Operational Programme Prague – Competitiveness 2007 - 2013 3 This section draws on Jungwiertová, L., Feřtrová, M. and Blažek, J.

Unemployment statistics indicate that while the impact has been experienced in old industrial regions and peripheral, agricultural regions, metropolitan regions with diversified economic structures (especially Prague) have suffered the least.5 The situation of Prague is the most stable, while the unemployment rate varies only relatively moderately among the other regions. The Ministry of Finance projects another increase in the unemployment rate in 2013 and 2014. It should also be noted that a trend towards deeper differentiation at micro-regional and local levels is indicated by detailed analyses of 2009-12 of municipal-level data.6 These analyses point to a complex, fragmented pattern with neighbouring municipalities varying significantly in terms of socio- economic development according to different factors. This micro-level differentiation applies to better performing regions such as Prague.7 Population Prague dominates the population structure in the Czech Republic. Its area is 496 km2, which is only 0.6 % of the CR’s territory, but with the population of 1,246,240 inhabitants as of March 31 2013 it represents almost 12 % of the total population of the country.8 The country’s second largest city, Brno, has one third of Prague’s population.

  • 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.

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.

  • The Czech Pirate Party in the 2010 and 2013 Parliamentary Elections and the 2014 European Parliament Elections: Spatial Analysis of Voter Support1
    The Czech Pirate Party in the 2010 and 2013 Parliamentary Elections and the 2014 European Parliament Elections: Spatial Analysis of Voter Support1 Pavel Maškarinec2 Abstract The paper presents a spatial analysis of the Czech Pirate Party (Pirates) voter support in the 2010 and 2013 parliamentary elections and the 2014 European Parliament elections. The main method applied for classifying electoral results was the spatial autocorrelation and spatial regression. The result of the analysis has shown that territorial support for the Pirates copies to a great extent the areas of high support for right-wing parties and simultaneously the areas exemplified by a high development potential. In the case of spatial characteristics, little support for the Pirates was shown in Moravia and higher in the Sudetenland in terms of determinants of support. Additionally to spatial regimes, inter-regional support for the Pirates was also influenced by other non-spatial characteristics, although the strength of their influence was relatively weak. The units which embodied a successful environment for voting for the Pirates were particularly characterized by greater urbanization and a greater number of entrepreneurs, while a lack of jobs and the older age structure, i.e. the signs that in the socio-economic, or socio-ecological sense define peripheral areas, negatively impacted the gains of the Pirates. Ambiguous influence was exercised by college-educated inhabitants, who in the parliamentary elections in 2010 and 2013 decreased the gains of the Pirates, however,

Its pathway to prosperity was rather thorny, nevertheless, the performance of the region improved significantly until the crisis hit the regional economy in the second half of 2008. The developmental trajectory switched from growth to stagnation or even decline. However the complicated situation taught regional actors to cooperate to achieve a common goal. Their effort and relatively well developed social capital might become one of the most important sources for improvement of the overall socioeconomic situation in the region.
