NĚKOLIK POZNÁMEK K ÚZEMNĚ ANALYTICKÝM PODKLADŮM A K JEJICH AKTUALIZACIA Few Remarks on the Documents of Spatial Analysis and their Updating, by Martin Tunka
Starting in 2007, traditional research and analyses got new legal regulations. For the first time now, the contents and forms of the research and analyses are regulated by the Building Act and related directives. Research and analyses are carried out and updated by the Offices of Spatial Planning in the form of municipal documents of spatial analysis, and by Regional Offices in the form of the documents of spatial analysis of Regions. The documents of spatial analysis have brought several questions, expectations, discussions and statements, some of them not corresponding to reality, such as that authorities lack in the means to produce them. In contrast, there is criticism saying that money is wasted as the documents of spatial analysis are not elaborated by developers along with the physical planning documentation, or those saying that their purpose is solely the creation of the information system of public administration. This text briefly explains some of the emerging errors and misunderstandings and shows some important implications of the new legal regulation.
INTENZIVNÍ MĚSTSKÉ STRUKTURY A PRINCIPY JEJICH UTVÁŘENÍIntensive Urban Structures and the Principles of their Creation, by Miroslava Zadražilová
Despite the declarations of the 1994 Aalborg Charter about the necessity of the high density of building, our towns are being surrounded by loose monofunctional zones, extremely increasing car traffic. It is yet the information society, again combining work and housing, what makes it possible to implement the Aalborg declarations. One of the ways to that goal can be the creation of intensive urban structures, properly using plots within urban areas. There are several principles of the spatial creation of intensive urban structures, aiming at not only a relatively high density of building but mainly at the high quality of housing and life in towns and cities. Several examples of the materialization of these principles can be found abroad.
PERCEPCE A LOKALIZACE URBÁNNÍCH BROWNFIELDS: PODOBNOSTI A ROZDÍLY NA PŘÍKLADU BRNA A OSTRAVYPerception and Localization of Urban Brownfi elds: Similarities and Differences in the Examples of Brno and Ostrava, by Josef Kunc, Petr Klusáček and Stanislav Martinát
The revitalization or regeneration of brownfi elds is today’s frequnetly discussed problem. It became a foreground subject after 1989 when the deindustrialization of the urban environment was very much on the rise on the Czech Republic. Cities like Brno and Ostrava, and other places of long industrial tradition too, have got problems with the dilapidating buildings and areas in their territories. A research in Brno and Ostrava has enabled us to compare the perception of the residents as those who are familiar with the local milieu. An important aspect for the comparison and interpretation, there have been largely different populational, urban, and economic developments of the two cities, resulting in the spatial differentiation of their brownfields as well as in the variety of opinions of the local population.
OVLIVŇUJE FINANČNÍ (NE)DOSTUPNOST BYDLENÍ PORODNOST V ČESKÉ REPUBLICE?Does the Accessibility of Housing Affect the Birth Rate in the Czech Republic? by Tomáš Kostelecký & Jana Vobecká
The aim of the project on which this contribution is based is a detailed description of the disparities among Czech regions in the financial and physical accessibility of housing, both as the current situation and as its development after the year 2000. A coherent and critical review of such disparities was largely missing, with their socioeconomic impact hardly analyzable. One of the objectives of the project was a statistic analysis of the factors affecting the socioeconomic consequences of the financial and physical accessibility of housing. Also examined is the impact of such regional disparities on the change in the demographic behaviour of the young generation, the low territorial mobility of the labour force, and the increasing threat of social exclusion of groups in acute financial inaccessibility of housing.
HISTORICKÉ A REGIONÁLNÍ SOUVISLOSTI VÝVOJE NĚKTERÝCH STATUTÁRNÍCH MĚST ČRThe Historic and Regional Contexts of the Development of Some Statutory Towns in the Czech Republic, by Milan Körner
This text may be considered as a foreword to the following articles by Pavel Koubek, Jaroslav Jelínek and Karel Beránek, the former focusing on Jihlava, Karlovy Vary and Mladá Boleslav as towns in three different Regions, and the latter, on Ústí nad Labem, Teplice, Děčín, Most and Chomutov, as towns within one Region.
ROZVOJ VYBRANÝCH STATUTÁRNÍCH MĚST JIHLAVA, KARLOVY VARY A MLADÁ BOLESLAVThe Development of Selected Statutory Cities: Jihlava, Karlovy Vary and Mladá Boleslav, by Pavel Koubek & Jaroslav Jelínek
The experience of and remarks about physical planning in the last twenty years would be worth making a detailed research among those who produce the physical planning documentation. Also interesting would be the view of the opposing party, namely those who elaborate master plans (commenting therefore on the changes in the process) and those who use them (discussing thus the practical usage). Also, there is probably different experience with the urban setting and that of rural settlement structures. The reason to write these contributions was the focus on three towns of approximately the same population of 50,000 but located in different geographic and economic conditions, evaluating the effects of the physical planning documentation on their development in the last two decades. To strictly compare the results would not be fair, as these locations were of very different starting conditions, but the resulting comments may be inspirational for the generalization of the current problems in our field.
POSOUZENÍ ROZDÍLNÉHO VÝVOJE STATUTÁRNÍCH MĚST ÚSTECKÉHO KRAJE OD 90. LET DO SOUČASNOSTIEvaluating the Disparate Developments of the Region of Ústí’s Statutory Towns between the 1990s and Today, by Karel Beránek
This article is about various conditions and factors of spatial development as being changed between the early 1990s and today in the statutory towns of the Region of Ústí nad Labem. The focus is on three main aspects: economic development, environment, and the cohesion of the population. As for economy, the study deals with the numbers of existing businesses and the construction of new dwellings. In another part, emission standards, the ecological load, the effects of mining, the environmental stability coefficient, the share of protected areas and other factors are observed. For the cohesion of the population, attention is on the unemployment rate, the share of the autochtonous population, the age index and other indicators.
UMÍSŤOVÁNÍ VÝROBNÍCH ZÁVODŮ A PRŮMYSLOVÝCH ZÓN V ČR A V ÚSTECKÉM KRAJILocations of Production Plants and Industrial Areas in the Czech Republic and in the Region of Ústí nad Labem, by Radek Brynda
One of the phenomena of the globalization is multinational corporations. They have immense impact on the economic market, the society, and very much so on the political sphere. As an example, this article describes how the Mexican multinational company of Nemak S. A. came to the Czech Republic. Presented is the controversial procedure of the choice of the location of their production plant, the reactions of politicians at both national and regional levels, and the reactions of the public. To compare, an example of good practice is given with the location of the Triangle Strategic Industrial Zone. In conclusion, the negative and positive effects of Nemak’s entry are summarized, suggesting how to proceed with such investments and avoid potential problems.
ÚVAHY O PLÁNOVÁNÍ V DOBĚ NEJISTOTYContemplation on Planning in Times of Uncertainty, by Vladimír Matuš
This text is based on a lecture the author gave in November 2009 at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague. A substantial part of the lecture was devoted to the anthropocentric development of the civilization and its relation to planning. In view of the scope and extent of the contribution, the original text has been abridged by the editors, with the author’s consent, to focus on the themes of this magazine. The Czech-born author lives in Toronto.
