Classification and possible solutions for problem areas in prefab housing estates in the Czech Republic
Kallabová, Eva
The impacts of the development after 1989 resulted, apart of other economic changes, in complex house building termination (1992). The complex house building had been focused on the construction of prefab houses in concentrated estates. The environment of the estates is characterized with problems of social, technical, traffic, demographic, ets. Character. One third of the state population lives on the estates, therefore humanization and regeneration projects were commenced. Sociological research has shown, that the inhabitants of housing estates do not complan much about living in a block of flats but about the environment of the estate in general. Due to the repetitiveness of housing estate´s features, it is possible to locate the problem areas (parking lots, sport and playgrounds, shopping malls, open sites, greenery, etc.) and phenomena (safety, orientation, etc.) related to them. Drawing on the experience of the countires of the West (adjusted to the regional circumstatnces), it will be possibleto gradually change Czech housing estates ino sites that will not only serve as residential but complex livin environment and that woll initiate and cultivate its inhabitants.

The cross-border community on the Czech-German border
Zich, František
We focus on the territorial community delimited by the border with the Federal Republic of Germany. For the purposes of this work, this territory has been defined as the whole area of the districts that border with Germany at least partially. There is no doubt the area, which lies along the almost 1000 km long border, is considerably differential. The differences result especially from economic and thus also social factors , apart from that, however, the whole territory is also significantly differential in terms of geography.
