Dynamics of Residential Differentiation and Segregation of Foreigners in Czech Metropolitan Areas
Klsák, Adam ; Ouředníček, Martin (advisor) ; Čermák, Zdeněk (referee) ; Uherek, Zdeněk (referee)
Czechia has become a noteworthy case study of international migration within Central and Eastern Europe. With a steadily increasing inflow of international migrants, it is anticipated that their contribution to the societal and urban dynamics will become more pronounced. This influx has led to a rise in socio-economic and ethnic heterogeneity, reflected in spatial patterns where distinctive population groups are localized. The expe- riences from traditional immigration countries indicate that the voluntary concentration of foreigners into ethnic enclaves often serves as an intermediary phase in the integration process. However, it can also pose significant risks in situations where immigrants are not willing to participate in broader society or face exclusion. The primary goal of this dissertation is to enhance the comprehension of the spatial distribution of foreigners across selected Czech metropolitan areas and to explain the related phenomena on multiple scales within the urban hierarchy. The investigation seeks suitable data sources and methodological frameworks to analyze the current state, trajectory, determinants, and particularities of socio-spatial differentiation and segrega- tion. Furthermore, a significant focus lies in the nuanced and theoretically grounded interpretation of results,...

Kosková, Jitka ; Janská, Eva (advisor) ; Freidingerová, Tereza (referee)
The aim of the work are the Czech-Vietnamese relations in the district Prague-Libus. These relationships are examined within the residential integration. This work analyses the impact of the local marketplace Sapa on the residential situation and tries to confirm or refuse claims about the segregation Vietnamese community in this district. The first part focuses on the Vietnamese community in general. This part also describes the basic aspects and factors that may affect residential segregation. It contains a comparison of the concentration rates of the Vietnamese community in the various districts of Prague as well. Second part is based on qualitative and quantitative research methods. Using the direct interview to try to look closer to local residents on the issue and the methods of observation to try to analyze the rate of concentration in selected areas of the district. Based on available informations and my own research we can say that the district Prague-Libuš is more an economic enclave. Otherwise, the high concentration of Vietnamese community has an influence on the present situation in this district, but the residential inter-ethnic relations are not being affected meanwhile by this high concentration. Key words: residential segregation, Vietnamese, discrict Prague-Libus, marketplace Sapa

Vede (příjmová) nerovnost k většímu násilí ve společnosti?
Mlčoch, Tomáš ; Houdek, Petr (advisor) ; Bartoň, Petr (referee)
The article investigates the impact of inequality on violence in society using the data from the EU for the years from 2005 to 2008. The results show a positive and significant impact (in 2005) of inequality on violent crime while increase by one point in the Gini index means an increase in violent crime by 6,1%. Moreover, I find the relationship with the GDP growth and prison population significant, and negative correlation with GNI PPP per capita and the number of police officers. Above all, the Power Distance Index (measuring perceived inequality and centralisation of power) has a very significant and positive effect on violent crime, an increase in 1 point means an increase in violent crime by 1,8%. The factor of residential segregation is also discussed as a limit or a bias during the investigation of the effect of inequality and violence using the data from a smaller territorial unit than the state-level.
