Its southern border touches the Vysočina Region and in the north, P in the area of Králíky, it borders on the Polish Voivode of the Lower Silesia. Around 520,213 inhabitants live in the area of 4,519 square kilometres. 60 percent of its territory is formed by agricultural land; industrial areas are centred around bigger towns. The regional capital of Pardubice is a seat of the region. The region is divided into 4 districts: Pardubice, Chrudim, Svitavy and Ústí nad Orlicí. The river Elbe flows through the northwestern part of the region and makes up the fertile lowlands of Polabí; in the south, there is the area of the Iron Mountains with the river Chrudimka and the Žďár Hills. Both of the mountains are protected landscape areas and they are both part of the Czech-Moravian Highlands. The Podorlická Upland starts to raise eastward where the rivers Divoká and Tichá Orlice flow. Southern part of the Orlické Mountains reaches the Pardubice Region and at the border with Poland, there is Kralický Sněžník (1,423 metres) which is the highest mountain of the Pardubice Region. There is also main European watershed between the North and the Black Sea (the river Morava springs under the massif of the Kralický Sněžník Mountain). Besides beautiful and diverse nature we can also find many interesting towns and histori- cal monuments in the Pardubice Region. Renaissance castle in Litomyšl is on the list of the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage. In the 16th century Litomyšl was an important centre of the Unity of Brethren. Composer Bedřich Smetana and painter Julius Mařák belong to the famous natives of the Pardubice Region. The Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren has a large number of congregations in the Par- dubice Region; we will invite you to visit at least some of them. 130 • 131 PPublikace_2_cast.inddublikace_2_cast.indd 131131 224.2.114.2.11 117:127:12 OLIČKY P U OROVÁ B PPublikace_2_cast.inddublikace_2_cast.indd 132132 224.2.114.2.11 117:127:12 RECTORY The village of Borová lies in the north- gle month (from April till May 1783) a simple ern edge of the the Žďár Hills, 10 house of prayer without a tower was built.

  • 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.

Implementation date: 08/08/2014 - 2020 Targeted beneficiaries: Households, Construction companies, Trades people Targeted sub-sectors: Construction and related trades, Energy service sector Budget (EUR): € 22 Million (2015) € 23.3 Million (2016) In a nutshell In the Czech Republic, the majority of residential blocks were built between 1954 and 1994; nearly 1.2 million flats were built under prefab technologies across the country. 1 Technological faults were a feature of this type of construction at the time creating low- quality housing. 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.

  • Regional Structure of Headquarters of Largest Enterprises in the Czech Republic from Quantitative Perspective
    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.

  • Innovation Diffusion in the Czech Republic a Regional Approach
    INNOVATION DIFFUSION IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC A REGIONAL APPROACH Background document for the implementation workshops in Spring 2020 Document updated December 2020 2 Information Note: This report was prepared as background for a series of implementation workshops involving the regions of the Czech Republic and the national government. The workshops are part of an OECD project to develop a self-assessment toolkit for barriers to regional innovation diffusion that aims provide policy makers a tool to assess strengths and weaknesses of innovation diffusion channels in their regions. This report draws on data collected by the OECD and stakeholder interviews that underpin the workshops at national and regional level in the Czech Republic. It leverages a conceptual framework currently being developed for the project. The report was prepared by OECD officials as a background document and should not be reported to reflect the views of OECD member countries or those of the European Union who co-finance the project. This report was prepared by Kris Boschmans under the guidance of Jonathan Potter. For questions or comments please contact [email protected] The project for which this report was prepared is co-financed by the European Union, via the European Commission Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy. 3 1 Introduction 1.1. The concept of innovation diffusion Innovation diffusion can be defined as the process through which firms gather knowledge, information and innovations from outside and use them to introduce their own innovative products or processes. It is a broad concept, referring, among other things, to the adoption of new-to-the-firm technologies, the introduction of new management techniques, the digitalisation of certain processes, or the introduction on the market of a new product.
