The study evaluates the regional development potential of a specific rural micro-region with regard to its qualitative aspect. It aims to set a general strategy for further development. The method is a geographical analysis using the migration balance as an indicator of the region's attractiveness for housing. Main strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats were identified. Generally accessible statistical data was used. The proposed strategy is to support the development of the human capital. In addition to the generally valid recommendations for the development of rural areas, it is always necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the geographical location, path dependency, natural, economic and social potential, the state of the environment, cultural factors or other specifics. The regional and local decision-making levels play an important role in this process.

This article focuses on the typology of countryside architectonical forms in the region of South-Moravia in southeastern Czechia and on the expression of village identity through architecture in case study villages. Original folk architecture has been altered by new types of constructions built in rural areas since the 1950s, followed by a more recent wave of new architectural forms that have developed since the 1990s. The number of architectural types in case study villages was predominantly calculated using the panoramic sceneries on mapy.cz. The coefficients of countryside identity were allocated to architectural types based on basic folk house features. The value of countryside identity is higher in smaller villages except for suburbanized settlements of the regional capital of Brno.

The paper focuses on the changes to the industrial structure of small Moravian towns as these towns are part of the settlement structure that connects urban and rural systems. Small towns (of up to 15,000 inhabitants) are the most industrialized part of the Czech settlement system. They were the subject of capitalist industrialization in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as well as socialist industrialization in the second half of the twentieth century. Therefore, the research question asks how the small-town sector coped with the transition to a post-productive society and how small towns were differentiated during this process. Population censuses were the main tool used to gather data for comparison. Today, small towns have preserved, in particular, less innovatively demanding industries, which have been pushed out of large and medium-sized cities. At the same time, they are undergoing a process of post-productive transformation which is associated with a massive transfer of job opportunities to services, but they can also become starting points for cultural tourism in rural areas. However, their future development will be very differentiated depending on their location concerning regional centres, on the quality of human and social capital and also on their historical pathways., Příspěvek se zaměřuje na proměny průmyslové struktury malých moravských měst, neboť tato města jsou součástí sídelní struktury, která propojuje městský a venkovský systém. Malá města (do 15 000 obyvatel) jsou nejprůmyslovější částí českého sídelního systému. Byly předmětem kapitalistické industrializace v devatenáctém a počátku dvacátého století, stejně jako socialistické industrializace ve druhé polovině dvacátého století. Výzkumná otázka se proto ptá, jak se maloměstský sektor vyrovnal s přechodem k postproduktivní společnosti a jak se malá města během tohoto procesu diferencovala. Hlavním nástrojem sběru dat pro srovnání byla sčítání lidu. Malá města si dnes zachovala zejména inovačně méně náročná odvětví, která byla z velkých a středně velkých měst vytlačena. Zároveň procházejí procesem postproduktivní transformace, která je spojena s masivním přesunem pracovních příležitostí do služeb, ale mohou se stát i východiskem kulturní turistiky ve venkovských oblastech. Jejich budoucí vývoj však bude velmi diferencovaný v závislosti na jejich umístění vzhledem k regionálním centrům, na kvalitě lidského a sociálního kapitálu a také na jejich historických cestách., info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess

The article deals with the state of social farming in Czechia, which is obviously in its infancy. The main barriers to development are the character of Czech agriculture, which is radically based on large-scale production and deliveries to large customers, insufficient cooperation of individual ministries and too narrow conception of the problem as care farming. At the same time, we can expect increasing demand for this type of management in the future. Some ideas for improving the situation are presented, the most important of which is the recognition of social farming by the public administration and the creation of a legal framework for its development., info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess

Analyses of the changes in the presence of persons in different central and residential parts of urban areas are subject to evaluation in this paper. Case studies of the cities of Brno, Ostrava and Zlin during the day and night are highlighted. Data from a provider of mobile phone services were used for the analyses. It appears that the data can be important for the comparison of different urban structures. The results demonstrate that the organisation of urban structure affects the number of visitors and thus the area attractiveness. It was confirmed that the number of mobile phone users in the city cores is higher than the number of permanent residents. The greatest differences between the day and night in the city cores were found in Brno, a concentric city with the most important central functions among the cities studied. Differences between the day and night in residential areas were not as large as expected. City neighbourhoods in Brno showed some specific rhythmicity.

The main aim of the study was to find out whether cultural tourism could be a driver of rural development in the selected area and in general. In case yes, to what extent and under what conditions. Three districts in the South-Moravian Region, Znojmo, Břeclav, and Hodonín, situated in the rural borderland with Austria and Slovakia represented the study area. Both geographical and sociological methods were used to gather evidence for cultural tourism in that study. Firstly, attractiveness analysis of the area defined for cultural tourism took place. Next, factors influencing the potential for cultural tourism affecting rural development in South Moravia were evaluated. Finally, synergistic relations were discussed. In the territory, many forms of tourism intersect. Based on the results, it can be stated that cultural tourism can hardly be the main driver of rural development after the decline of agriculture because the region's economy has branched out in several directions. However, it can be an important complementary activity that yields both economic and non-economic benefits., info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess

The paper connects culture, tourism and rural development. It tries to make anoverview of various forms of cultural tourism in Czechia. Attractions of cultural tourism are identified and ranked according to their cognitive function. Their list includes cultural heritage in spheres of archaeological sites, architecture, arts, folklore, pilgrimages, technical works, cultural events or protected landscape areas. The culture of wine in Southern Moravia has been chosen as an example. Its analysis was elaboratedusing the Importance/Performance Analysis. Czechia has great potential for thecultural tourism development in rural areas but it seems to demand a great deal of work when one needs to be constantly reconciling the changing interests of tourists with the potential of the regions. One of the important goals is to attract tourists into rural areas and thus limit their concentration in the most attractive places. Rural cultural tourism seems to be a significant aspect in this respect.

The research was aimed at an overview and analysis of the demonstration activities in the Czech Republic dealing with the transfer of innovations for agricultural practice. Several methods were used to compile the national inventory, in particular the questionnaire survey method. The Czech part of the research was based on 30 questionnaires conducted among both farmers and agricultural organizations engaged in demonstration activities. The questions were focused on a specialization in agriculture, type of the management, connections with networks and their size, types of demonstration activities according to the types of farms and non-productive activities. The most common topics and purposes for demonstration in the Czech Republic are recorded for the category arable land with combined crops. Highly linked to sustainability are activities such as conservation agriculture on arable land with combined crops, root crops and fodders mainly due to a reduction of soil erosion within crop production and animal health management and welfare for dairy within livestock production. The Ministry of Agriculture has prepared a subsidy program to help farmers in the form of illustrative practical demonstrations of comprehensive sustainable farming practices. The main added values for the end-users, if the generated knowledge is implemented, are to strengthen the knowledge transfer system in agriculture, focusing on practical demonstrations and presentation of sustainable farming systems and soil protection in practice. However, the demonstration activities support mostly technological development and some individual ecological measures whereas the sustainability of agriculture as the complex process unifying the crop and animal production is not in the foreground., info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess

The paper is aimed at an attempt to define a smart village in the Czech conditions. It argues that the principles of smart villages are very similar to the concept of sustainability. The analysis deals with preventing rural exclusion, promoting digital technologies for the management of the rural infrastructure, teleworking in rural areas and using ICT for participation and governance. This approach is documented in the case of the South-Moravian Region. It was concluded that it was not so much coverage or accessibility of digital technology that was the main barrier of more intensive use of the smart village concept but rather the lower qualification level and conservatism of rural population is. It is suggested that more attention should be paid to increasing the digital literacy of rural people., info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess

The sustainability of rural areas is considered to be most threatened in peripheral, hardly accessible microregions with insufficient economical sources. The paper analyses one such rural area in the eastern part of Moravia from the viewpoint of individual economic, social, and environmental sustainability pillars. The area under study is the mountain territory on the border with Slovakia, which is under large-scale landscape protection. The area with very limited economic sources has been impacted with a change to the geopolitical situation after 1993 (from the centre of Czechoslovakia to the fringe of Czechia). It was stated that the environmental pillar is in the best of conditions; however, perhaps threatened with missing technical infrastructure in relation to the disposal of solid, liquid, and gaseous waste, the social pillar is improving in relation to the post-productive transition, whereas the economic pillar is the most fragile because of its dependence on exogenous jobs in surrounding towns. In general, the microregion seems to be sustainable at the moment. Long-term sustainability will depend on the general economic, demographic, and climatic development of the country and Europe., info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess

Kleinstädte sind ein sehr wenig untersuchtes Element des Siedlungssystems. In Mähren sind die Kleinstädte der einzige Städtetyp, der in letzten zehn Jahren nach der Einwohnerzahl als ein Ganzes wächst. Im Siedlungssystem Mährens spielen Kleinstädte bis jetzt eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Erneuerung des Landes. Dreizehn Fallstudien der Städte mit weniger als 15 000 Einwohner wurden in den Jahren 1999 bis 2001 bearbeitet. Im Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit stand der Strukturwandel nach dem Jahre 1989. Veränderungen von Industrie und Arbeitsmarkt, Dienstleistungen, Fremdenverkehr und Umwelt wurden untersucht. Der Beitrag macht auf Besonderheiten der Lebensweise in Kleinstädten aufmerksam. Es handelt sich zum Beispiel um höhere gesellschaftliche Kontrolle und persönliche Sicherheit, unterschiedliche Gestaltung der Selbstverwaltung und der lokalen Kultur als in Groß- und Mittelstädten oder Einbindung der Bewohner in die Stadterneuerung. In der Zukunft ist eine weitere Differenzierung der Kleinstädte zu erwarten. Einige Kleinstädte können vielleicht ihre Zentralfunktion weiter ausnutzen, anderen müssen ihren Aufschwung in einer Spezialisierung suchen. Noch andere werden wahrscheinlich ihren urbanen Charakter verlieren. Nach der Zeit der Uniformität und Nivellierung ist die Frage der Identität und des Images einzelnen Kleinstädte sehr aktuell., Small cities represent a settlement system that has been largely neglected by research to date. Small cities are the only type of city in Moravia that have grown in terms of population figures in the last ten years. Until now, small cities have played a key role in Moravia in the renewal of the region. Thirteen case studies of cities with less than 15 000 inhabitants were processed between 1999 and 2001. The main focus of interest was on the structural transformation after 1989. The examinations centred on changes in industry and the job market, in services, tourism and the environment. The article draws attention to the peculiarities of lifestyles in small cities. For example, it deals with higher social control and personal security, different forms of autonomy and the local culture, as in large and medium- sized cities, and the integration of the inhabitants in urban renewal. In future, we can expect a further differentiation of the small cities. Some small cities may be able to continue to use their central function, while others must seek their growth in specialisation. Still others appear likely to lose their urban character. After a period of uniformity and levelling out, the question of the identity and image of individual small cities is extremely current.

Der Beitrag beinhaltet eine Analyse der gegenwärtigen demographischen Veränderungen in den Innenstädten der mährischen Großstädte Brno und Ostrava. Die Untersuchung kleinräumiger soziodemographischer Strukturen erfolgte auf der Ebene der so genannten Basissiedlungseinheiten. Von den Daten der beiden letzten Volks-, Gebäude- und Wohnungszählungen (1991 und 2001) wurden vor allem Daten zur Alters- und Qualifikationsstruktur der Bevölkerung sowie zur Haushaltsstruktur herangezogen. Dem Vergleich demographischer Daten mit der aktuellen physischen Struktur der beiden Städte diente die Analyse des Wohngebäudetyps (Eigenheime oder Mehrfamilienhäuser) sowie deren Baualter. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen, dass die Innenstädte altern, während die jüngste Bevölkerung in Plattenbausiedlungen aus den 1980er Jahren und in den Zuzugsgebieten der Suburbanisierung am Stadtrand wohnt. Die günstigeren demographischen Strukturen in Ostrava – im Vergleich zu Brno – sind auf die massenhafte Zuwanderung von Industriearbeitskräften nach dem Krieg zurückzuführen. Es scheint, dass die Differenzierung der Qualifikationsstruktur (und damit gewissermaßen auch die soziale Differenzierung) nicht entlang der räumlichen Grenzen von innerer Stadt und Vorstädten verläuft. Dies erlaubt die Schlussfolgerung, dass die innere Stadt in Bezug auf die Qualifikations- und Sozialstruktur der Bevölkerung keinen monolithischen Komplex darstellt, sondern selbst stark differenziert ist., This article is an analysis of the present demographic changes in the city centres of the big Moravian cities of Brno and Ostrava. This study of sociodemographic structures in limited spaces was made on the level of what are known as basic settlement units. Data on the age and qualification structure of the population and the household structure were primarily used from the two last censuses of population, buildings and flats (1991 and 2001). Analysing the type of residential building (owner-occupied houses or multiple-family dwellings) and the age of the building were used to compare demographic data with the current physical structure of these two cities. Findings confirm that the city centres are ageing while the youngest population lives in concrete-slab settlements from the 1980’s and the influx areas on the suburbanising fringes of the city. Ostrava has better demographic structures than Brno which may be attributed to the massive immigration of industrial workers after the war. It seems that the differentiation in the qualification structure (and therefore to a certain extent the social differentiation) does not run along the spatial borders of the city centre and suburbs. Therefore, we can draw the conclusion that the inner city is not a monolithic complex in the population in terms of qualification and social structure, but is also substantially differentiated.

Tato práce si klade za cíl vytvořit klasifikaci některých současných myšlenkových proudů v architektuře a urbanismu, zejména pak jejich vztah k utváření veřejného prostoru. Obecně zkoumá myšlenkové a ideové pozadí jednotlivých proudů i jejich genealogii – všímá si tedy i jejich historického pozadí a kořenů. Myšlenkový rámec této práce je ukotven v kritické teorii a utváření (veřejného) prostoru i konání architekta je chápáno jako politický akt; nikoliv nutně ve smyslu zavedených politických proudů a ideologií, ale ve smyslu tvorby města jako prostoru společenské arény, která přináší soutěž různých aktérů, zájmů a názorů, jejichž součástí je i architektonický diskurz. Výsledná forma produkce veřejného prostoru je tak výsledkem této názorové soutěže a nevyhnutelného názorového antagonismu, který se projevuje i v ideových východiscích jednotlivých myšlenkových proudů v architektuře., This thesis aims to classify contemporary way of thought in the architecture and urbanism mainly in respect to the formation of public space. Generally, it seeks to identify ideological background of individual ways of thoughts and their genealogy – therefore it explores their historical roots too. The methodological framework of the thesis is grounded in the critical theory and production of (public) space as well as architectural production is therefore understood as a political act; not necessarily in terms of the established political parties or ideologies but rather in the sense of production of the city space as a social arena, in which completion of various agents, interests and notions is present including the architectural discourses. The resulting form of the public space is than a result of this competition and unavoidable ideological antagonism, which is present in the ideological basis of the individual way of thoughts in architecture and urbanism.

Spokojenost obyvatel je součástí sociálního pilíře trvale udržitelného rozvoje. Zkoumáním spokojenosti obyvatel lze přispět k navrhování takových obytných souborů, které budou lépe odpovídat požadavkům obyvatel a budou lépe uspokojovat jejich potřeby za účelem celkové životní spokojenosti. Celková životní spokojenost je základem prosperující a obecně spokojené společnosti. Tato práce se zabývá vztahem mezi urbanistickou strukturou a spokojeností obyvatel v ní žijících. Pro popsání tohoto vztahu je nutné definovat pojmy urbanistická struktura i spokojenost obyvatel. Výzkumnou část je třeba opřít o teoretické poznatky a přehled urbanistických struktur. Teoretická část práce se zabývá historickým přehledem a vývojem urbanistických struktur ve městě Brně a Vídni od poloviny 19. století do současnosti. Na základě tohoto poznání jsou následně vybrány lokality pro případové studie obytných souborů tak, aby byly zastoupeny různé urbanistické struktury. V takto vybraných obytných souborech proběhlo místní šetření, dotazníkové šetření a rozhovory s obyvateli. Výsledek výzkumu na některé otázky odpovídá a některé další klade, neboť spokojenost obyvatel je relativní pojem a nejedná se o exaktně vyjádřitelnou veličinu. Je také podmíněna mnoha faktory, které nelze v rámci této práce uchopit. Ukazuje se, že kompaktní město nemusí být dobře funkční, pokud není v centrální části města a překvapivým výsledkem byl i relativní úspěch volné zástavby panelového sídliště vůči kompaktním souborům v části blízké centru města. Některé další předpoklady však byly potvrzeny., Residential satisfaction is a part of the social pillar sustainable development. An investigation of satisfaction can contribute to designing of such residential estates that will better satisfy their needs towards overall life satisfaction. Overall life satisfaction underpins the prosperous and generally satisfied society. This work deals with the relationship between the urban structure and the satisfaction of the residents living there. To describe this relationship, it is necessary to define the terms urban structure and residential satisfaction. The research block shall be based on theoretical grounds and overview of urban structures. The theoretical block deals with the historical overview and development of urban structures in the city of Brno and Vienna since the mid-19th century to the present. Based on this knowledge, locations for case studies of the residential estates have been selected subsequently to represent various urban structures. A local survey, questionnaire survey and interviews with residents took place in the residential estates selected in this way. The result of the research some of questions answers and asks some other ones, because the residential satisfaction is a relative consideration and not an exactly expressible value. It is also conditional on many factors that cannot be managed in this work. It is evident that the compact city may not be well-functioning if it is not in the central part of the city and the relative success of the of the open building line of the prefab estates compared to compact sets nearby city centers has been also a surprising result. However, some other assumptions have been confirmed.
