Proposal for the Czech Statutory City Districts Autonomy Index
Hála, Jaroslav ; Jüptner, Petr (advisor) ; Huňady, Martin (referee)
Czech statutory cities are enabled by The Municipal Law to divide their territory into sub- municipal units. This competency has been used by seven Czech statutory cities, which established city districts. Cities had entrusted their sub-municipal units with different amount of authority and autonomy. Firstly, the factors of sub-municipal autonomy are being identified. Significant are: the volume of finances, which city districts operate with; their access to external grants; the scope of policies and public services in which they are being included; competence to establish its own organisational units; influence on city legislation and representation in the institutions of the statutory city. Based on the factors the sub-municipal autonomy index is being proposed. The index is applicable on the seven statutory cities with their city districts. The index constructed from these factors attributes sub-municipal units of Brno and Ostrava with the highest amount of autonomy, and units of Ústí and Labem and Pardubice with the lowest amount of autonomy. Based on index values and interviews with actors of sub-municipal politics are the cities of Brno, Ostrava, Plzeň and Liberec being labelled as "truly decentralized" and the cities of Ústí and Labem and Pardubice as "rather deconcentrated".
