Bystřice nad Pernštejnem Location and Uranium Mining Subsidence, by Antonín Vaishar, Eva Kallabová, and Jana Zapletalová
The underground mining subsidence affected significantly both presence and perspectives of mining towns. The public attention is currently focused on Ostrava and North West Bohemia regions. Other locations, however, particularly in less promoted regions where they only attract a small attention from the state, have been affected, too. The town of Bystřice nad Pernštejnem, where housing (apartments) for uranium industry workers has been developed, may be selected as an example of such locations. The article focuses on issues related to uranium mining subsidence consequences, as they interlink with other restructuralisation processes based on a transformation of the socio-economic system implemented in Bystřice, being in a position of a town where intensive efforts are exerted within a process of adaptation to the new, less favourable, conditions.
Assessment of Tourism Potentials and Their Release in Regional Plans, by Karel Vepřek
The „Assessment of Tourism Potentials in Czech Republic Municipalities“ article, by Mr. Jan Bína, was published in the 1/2002 issue of the magazine. Subsequently, we have approached other research centres where similar issues attract considerable attention of experts. The methodology prepared by Mr. Vepřek, Architect, is particularly interesting because it constitutes a direct background material for a preparation of large territory development plans.
Discussion of Town & Country Planning Concepts, by Martin Tunka
In general, the town & country planning represents a permanent discussion in a large circle of participants having rather unbalanced knowledge of the field. A number of misconceptions coming into existence just prove the difficulties prevailing in the communication. Concurrently, it is still necessary that results of the planning processes are recognized by the public at large, so that a necessary consensus is achieved concerning possible changes in a territory utilisation.
What Constitutes A Good Plan? by Kamil Kubiš
The article is based on a discussion contribution presented at Applied UPD Digital Standardization Conference (Znojmo 03/2002). Additionally, the article preserves the commented presentation form of the discussion contribution. Both the contribution and the article present my opinion that no matter how well the craft of development is mastered and/or a digital development plan is prepared, they still may neglect their purpose and subsequently, even a perfectly mastered and managed plan may, in the end, become a bad development plan.
Territory Recultivation and Recycling as Municipal Policy Tasks, by Vladimír Srb
The Czech Republic economic development is associated with a continuous decrease in the agriculture land area, a protection of which is still governed by extensive and complex regulations, however, including a number of exceptions and deviations. The land is excluded from an agriculture land register to be allocated for key turn industrial and other structures, extension or modernization of communications, and for housing developments. To a varying degree, this trend has been observed throughout the whole world and particularly in Europe.
