Mýl, Jiří ; Špačková, Petra (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Nina (referee)
Housing estates are an essential part of postsocialist cities, including Prague. Since the collapse of the socialist regime, their future has been a subject of discussion. First opinions about them degrading severely didn't come true. Instead many of them were renovated at least to some extent. This bachelor thesis builds upon on an analysis carried out by the Institute of planning and development (published in 2011) and aims to assess the revitalization process and understand the current scope of the revitalization of panel buildings in larges housing estates in Prague. It also describes the evolution of changes in the revitalization and the effects of selected factors on revitalization. Lastly, it showcases specific examples of the revitalization of Prague housing estates. The results of the work point to a significant scope of revitalization, yet it is possible to observe certain differences between individual housing estates and their parts. The influence of most analyzed factors was not confirmed. The construction period can be characterized as the most significant. A relationship between the share of foreign nationals and the extent of revitalization wals also found, a finding that would be worth further verification and possibly deeper investigation. Key words: housing estates,...

Červenka, Jakub ; Špačková, Petra (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Nina (referee)
Panel houses in socialist housing estates belong among dominant forms of housing in Czechia. Mainly young families with children were moving into new housing estates right after their construction was completed, but the following development of residents' composition wasn't the same in all housing estates. Significant social changes after the Velvet Revolution contributed greatly to the differentiation of housing estates' development. This paper aims to describe overall changes of housing estates in Prague and Ostrava between 1970 and 2011 in terms of age structure, to find differences between both cities and to identify main trajectories of housing estates' development. Descriptive statistics were used for the analysis as well as more advanced analytical methods represented by location quotients and sequence analysis. The results show that population of housing estates was very young at the beginning, but has aged significantly in the following decades. Housing estates in Ostrava have always been younger than the ones in Prague, however, they are gradually equalizing. Large number of housing estates has had tendency to stabilize their age structure in the same form as the structure of the whole city. Key words: housing estates, age structure, demographic ageing, Prague, Ostrava

During the past years the center of Prague has changed from residential function to concentration of commercial activities, contacts, management and decision making processes.

These features cause fact that the services are not any more accessible for majority of residents. The services start to focus on business firms, foreign visitors and residents with higher incomes instead of local residents.

The availability of basic needs, the quality of public place and the possibility to move in the city without any barriers are important factors that determine quality of life of seniors.
