The effect of the "metropolitan voting" on voting behaviour in the 2021 Czech legislative election
Vratný, Radek ; Lepič, Martin (advisor) ; Mikešová, Renáta (referee)
This thesis examines one of the factors underlying voting behaviour in the last Czech legislative election to the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic in 2021. It explains the differences between composite and contextual research approaches and then focuses on the possible identification and demonstration of the metropolitan voting effect, which can be considered as a subcategory of the contagion effect. Given the lack of attention to this phenomenon in the literature to date, the paper summarizes and partially innovates the conceptualization of this phenomenon. The contagion effect, also called the neighbourhood effect, refers to a situation where people revise their voting behaviour under the direct or indirect influence of the prevailing stances and opinions of people moving or living in a defined area. Then they vote based on this revision, thus their individual characteristics, which are addressed by the composite approach, have less influence on them than would be expected. This paper attempts to demonstrate the effect of metropolitan voting in two metropolitan areas, Prague and Ostrava, using the statistical methods of multiple linear regression and spatial autocorrelation. Multiple regression works with many data at the level of municipalities and city districts...

Leontiyeva, Yana ; Mikešová, Renáta ; Tollarová, Blanka ; Šimon, Martin ; Čermáková, Dita
The final research report presents the results of the project School as an Integration Partner, which aimed to analyze in detail the situation of pupils with insufficient knowledge of Czech as the language of instruction at primary schools in Prague in the years 2019-2021. The introductory chapter presents the project aims, as well as the employed methodology and the definitions of key terms. The second chapter focuses on the state of knowledge, particularly with regard to existing data sources and the data itself, as well as previous research targeting pupils with migration background. The key part of the research report is the third chapter presenting the results of three waves of questionnaire surveys conducted at primary schools in Prague. The research at primary schools focused on the number of pupils with insufficient knowledge of Czech as the language of instruction according to their level of Czech language proficiency, the forms of support provided by schools, as well as the funding of this support, its sufficiency, the existence of teachers specialized in teaching Czech as a second language and coordinators. The individual waves of monitoring also explored specific issues such as distance learning or the new system of language training. The fourth chapter of the report presents the results of the qualitative research – the case study and the analysis of in-depth interviews with various actors from school directors to teachers, coordinators and finally parents of pupils with migration background. The final chapter summarizes the findings. The research report is accompanied by questionnaires from the three waves of the survey and automated reports presenting the results of the survey for the whole of Prague and for the individual administrative districts of Prague 1-22.

Foreign citizens migration in Prague in 2012-2015: trends and determinants
Petříková, Veronika ; Křížková, Ivana (advisor) ; Mikešová, Renáta (referee)
Residential mobility is a process that affects the lives of individuals, in which both the physical distance and the social distance often changes, i.e. it is associated with social mobility. At the same time, it is a process, which significantly contributes to the formation of the environment and the character of urban localities. The diploma thesis focuses on the residential mobility of foreigners in the years 2012-2015 within Prague, on its trends and conditions. The aim of the diploma thesis is to find out how the foreigners housing change depends on their migration. It focuses on the question of which foreigners have a better chance of moving to worse and which, on the contrary, to better conditions. The introductory part of the diploma thesis is devoted to theoretical approaches to the studied problems. The empirical part is devoted to both the general characteristics of migrant foreigners and the general development of their residential mobility, as well as the identification of the factors of migration. Interviews with selected members of foreigners from Mediterranean countries try to validate the results of hard statistical data. Keywords: migration, residential mobility, foreigners, Prague

Spatial analysis of election support for ODS, ČSSD and ANO 2011 in the 2013 and 2017 Czech general elections
Charvát, Dominik ; Lepič, Martin (advisor) ; Mikešová, Renáta (referee)
The party replacement theory is a relevant research topic that this thesis is based on. This diploma thesis focuses on a spatial analysis of election support for ODS, ČSSD, and ANO 2011 in the 2013 and 2017 Czech general elections. The main aim of this thesis is to investigate the replacement of traditional political parties - ODS and ČSSD - by the newly established ANO. The 2013 Czech general election suggest the replacement of ODS by ANO, owing to the considerable decline in election support for ODS between 2010 - 2013 and the success of ANO in this election. In 2017, the replacement of ČSSD by ANO is examined because the election decrease of ČSSD was noticed in that year, and ANO reinforced its support base even more. The main raison d'être for this research is the considerable decrease of election support for the traditional political parties ODS and ČSSD and, contrarily, the success in these elections of newly established ANO led by Andrej Babiš. Data from the Czech statistical office was used in this thesis. The data were delimited at a municipal level. Spatial differentiation of election support was measured using the method of spatial autocorrelation. Change of the election support for individual parties across municipalities and over several elections was described using spatiotemporal...

Regional differentiation of voting behaviour in Czechia
Mikešová, Renáta
This thesis explores the regional differentiation of electoral behaviour and other topics in electoral geography in the Czech Republic. Electoral geography, which studies the geographic aspects of the organisation, process, and results of elections, for a long time developed mainly in Western societies given the absence of free elections in other countries. It began to develop in the Czech Republic in the 1990s and its goal was to explore the process of the transformation of society and the stabilisation of democracy, to compare electoral patterns observed in conditions of stable liberal democracies with the patterns found in transforming states, and to adapt them to the specific conditions of transition countries. Electoral geography focuses mainly on the spatial variations of electoral behaviour. It seeks to determine whether different patterns of electoral behaviour are based on the social structure of the population in the region, whether they are influenced by contextual factors, or whether it is a combination of both. Another important subject studied by electoral geography is the spatial patterns of representation, which however are usually studied in majoritarian electoral systems. The thesis is composed of two basic sections. The first section offers a broader theoretical and...

Leontiyeva, Yana ; Mikešová, Renáta ; Tollarová, Blanka ; Šimon, Martin ; Čermáková, Dita
The interim research report is a summary of the findings of the School as an Integration Partner project, which deals with the integration of migrant background pupils (non-native language speakers) in Prague's primary schools. The first part of the report deals with the analysis of available statistical data, analysis of previous research and other sources of information on pupils with migrant background. The second part summarizes the findings from an extensive research at primary schools in Prague conducted within the project in the school year 2019-2020 and focused on the situation of pupils with insufficient knowledge of Czech as a language of instruction. The research focused on finding out the number of these pupils at individual primary schools in Prague including the estimation of their language skills. The research also focused on the use of individual support measures by schools, on financing support of migrant background pupils and on the existence of teachers specialized in teaching Czech as a foreign language.
