Multigenerational Coexistence / Happy Living in a Castle
Habancová, Anežka ; Dvořák, Tomáš (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
Previously, the bulk of the population lived in rural areas. The whole family lived there together in the family house on the same property. Young helped the elderly and old to their offspring, with households with children, with the economy. With the advent of industrialization and mobilization, many young people moved into the cities, to work, to the newly constructed blocks of residential houses, which were rather less than they could live with a large extended family. Mutual cooperation was suddenly far away. The town has more people, more jobs and more older people, which the state took care of them - homes for the elderly - retirees concentration in one place, without daily contact with young, with family. Thanks to good quality of health care older people is increasing and this problem is must be solved. The country has still semi-detached houses and multigenerational houses, where the family lived with grandparents, but in the city is hard to find to buy or rent two apartments near each other. The main concept of my work is to create a semi-detached flats, flats with common vestibule, which connects one smaller and one larger apartment. Use the castle for this principle is more than appropriate - will be returned the housing for the family and each of generation finds in the castle grounds space for their activities or employment. This area still remains open to inhabitant of the city and offer them new possibilities for leisure (restaurants and an amphitheater).

Czech public on homesteading and gardening - June/July 2023
Kyselá, Monika
A significant part of the regular CVVM Our Society survey conducted in June and July 2023 was dedicated to the topic of homesteading and gardening.\n\nThese topics are part of the activities of the Institute of Sociology of the CAS within the framework of the AV21 Food for the Future Strategy.\n\nSpecifically, we investigated whether people engage in various activities related to subsistence farming, whether they produce their own food (fruits, vegetables, eggs, meat, etc.) and if so, where and why, whether people who grow or produce something in their households give these products to someone or exchange them with someone, or with how many people.\n\nWe were also interested in the other side of the story, i.e. whether people themselves receive home-grown or home-produced food from someone.\n\nLast but not least, we also looked at how bio-waste is managed and how the current food supply compares to ten years ago.\n\nAbout half (47%) of people grow their own food in their garden, 7% in their flat or on their balcony.\n\n\nThe most important reasons why people produce their own food are obtaining healthy food (25%), fresh food (24%), saving money (19%) and that it's a hobby (15%).\n\n\nMore than two thirds (69%) of people give or trade some of what they grow or produce in their household to someone.\nPeople are most likely to receive home-grown food from close family members (55%) and friends (50%).\n\n\nThe most common way of managing bio-waste is to use brown bins (57%), and almost half of people compost bio-waste in the garden (47%). Around a quarter of people who sort bio-waste in their household take it to a collection yard (26%) or give the sorted bio-waste to animals (25%). Less than a fifth use bulk containers (18%) or donate it to someone else (17%). The use of vermicomposters (5%) and community gardens (1%) is very marginal.\n\n\nHalf (49%) of people work in their garden on a regular basis, i.e. at least once a month during the season, a third (33%) go foraging for mushrooms, berries or herbs, and 12% keep domestic animals.\n\n\nMore than two-fifths (41%) of respondents believe that their household food supply has not changed between now and ten years ago.
