Diversification of tax revenue in Czech municipalities
Municipal tax revenues constitute the fundamental component of their budgets, from which they finance public services for citizens, infrastructure investments, and day-to-day operations. The aim of this paper is therefore to elucidate the spatial aspects of Czech municipal tax revenues and identify their wealth. Specifically, we focus on the question of which municipalities diversify their tax revenues beyond shared taxes and on the role of space…
Exploring the Role of Street Names in the Reproduction of Deinstitutionalised Regions
Looking theoretically at regions as historically contingent entities that have been evolving over time, this article aims to explore the relationship between the identities of old regions and their symbols through an innovative employment of street names. Methodologically, this study employed Geographic Information System tools, alongside a case study focusing on deinstitutionalised historical regions in the Czech Republic. In this context, stree…
Changing ‘casinoscape’
Casinos are one of the traditional gambling venues across the world and are often regarded as a symbol of the gambling industry. The Czech Republic has gradually developed into one of the countries where gambling establishments are most accessible. The new Gambling Act aims to concentrate individual establishments closer to each other and thus reduce their level of accessibility. The aim of our study is, therefore, to assess the impact of the new…
Knowledge of global climate change among Czech students and its influence on their beliefs in the efficacy of mitigation action
Young people’s lives will be influenced by climate change and, in turn, climate change may itself be influenced by their future behaviour. Environmental education has thus to rise to the challenge of providing students with knowledge that will go beyond the simply factual and enable an understanding of the complexity of climate change. This paper follows on from our previous study of Czech students’ beliefs concerning the usefulness of mitigation…
Comparison of Ecohydrological and Climatological Zoning of the Cities
Standardized delimiting of local climate zones (LCZ) will be better applicable to the urban adaptation to climate change when the ecohydrological properties of LCZ units are known. Therefore, the properties of LCZ units based on the methodology of ecohydrological zoning of the urban landscape, which was created in GIS as a basis for planning blue-green infrastructure of cities in the Czech Republic, are presented in the paper. The goal of this st…
Relics and transformation of former ponds in the urban environment of the historical region of Bohemia (Czech Republic)
The rapid expansion of urban areas has been a feature of the industrial age. Landscape features have been replaced or transformed to accommodate the needs of an increasingly urban society. Our study focuses on the disappearance or transformation of man-made ponds in the historic region of Bohemia in the Czech Republic. Using current and historic maps, orthophotography and a digital terrain model, we have identified over one thousand former ponds …
A historical curiosity or a source of accurate spatial information on historical land use? The issue of accuracy of old cadastres in the example of Josephian Cadastre from the Habsburg Empire
Localisation of the painter’s canvas
Landscape has always been the focus of artistic interest. Landscape is also the object of research interest of geographers, and it offers a field for cooperation between art and geography. Our study focuses on landscape painting as an important source in identifying landscape changes. We focused on discovering the location where the painter placed his canvas. We used Czech landscape paintings from the end of the nineteenth century in the Iron Mou…
Czech students and mitigation of global warming
The future life-styles and pro-environmental behaviour of today’s younger students will be a cardinal factor in mitigating the severity of projected climate change. In this study, Czech students at upper-primary and secondary-school levels responded to a set of covertly paired statements designed to assess their beliefs concerning the usefulness of actions that might ameliorate global warming and the degree to which they are willing to act. Relat…
Historical ponds of the Czech Republic
The paper presents a map of historical ponds of the whole Czech Republic which was created on the basis of the 2nd Military Survey (1: 28,000) from the period 1836 to 1852. This source was selected with respect to its age, precision, validity and accessibility at the Czech National Geoportal via the Web Map Service. All water areas, which had existed in the 2nd Military Survey within the current Czech Republic, were identified on this basis and v…
