ANALÝZA DOPRAVNÍHO CHOVÁNÍ OBYVATEL OLOMOUCE A OSTRAVYAn analysis of the traffic behaviour of the inhabitants of Olomouc and Ostrava, by Jaroslav Burian, Lenka Zajíčková and Igor Ivan
This article presents various options for the use of data obtained from questionnaire surveys carried out to analyse the traffic behaviour of the inhabitants of two cities, Olomouc and Ostrava. The article mentions possible methods of collecting data on population movement and gives a detailed description of the survey. Major emphasis is put on results gained from statistical and spatial assessment of data. Besides a common statistical analysis we present the method of kernel estimation, which can be used to identify the most frequently visited areas within a city. The results can be used to make planning in both cities more efficient and the procedure can easily be applied to other cities in the Czech Republic.
ČTVRTSTOLETÍ PLÁNOVÁNÍ A VÝVOJE STŘEDOČESKÉHO PROSTORU A NĚKTERÁ SROVNÁNÍ S REGIONEM MNICHOVAA quarter of a century of planning and development in Central Bohemia and some comparisons with the region of Munich, by Milan Körner
Since 1990 population development in Central Bohemia has been very different from population development in other parts of the Czech Republic. The past twenty-five years have confirmed the extraordinary development potential of the city of Prague, not only in the context of the Czech Republic but in that of the whole central/eastern part of Euorpe. The development of the Central Bohemian Region was also differentiated, evidencing the highest dynamics in the metropolitan area of Prague and the district of Mladá Boleslav. The suburban territory of Prague has witnessed the most intense development in housing and economic activity (particularly logistics) in the Czech Republic. Nevertheless, this development has not been supported by appropriate investment in the transportation infrastructure. Along with uncoordinated suburban development, there is a serious problem with transportation links and their quality in the suburban environment. The development of Central Bohemia is compared with that of the region of Munich, where distinctive planning approaches have been applied on a long-term basis focusing on the optimization of comprehensive spatial development and high-quality links. Principles and priorities stipulated more than fifty years ago are still effective for the development of this region. Population is developing in corridors of regional rail traffic (S-Bahn) in a limited number of towns and villages. In the last twenty-five years the dynamics of the development was higher than in Central Bohemia. An important problem for Czech regional planning is the lack of connections between real spatial development and the priorities and implementation of public investment.
PLÁNOVÁNÍ V DOBĚ KLIMATICKÝCH ZMĚNPlanning in the era of climate change, by Vladimír Matuš
Accelerated development of technologies, discovery and use of new sources of energy and considerable changes in the global climate are causing planners to adopt a variety of unconventional roles and cross borders into neighbouring professional disciplines. Specialist journals present ever more reflections on the social role of planners and rapid change and problems that require the involvement of new specializations and sub-disciplines in spatial planning. However, it is probable that most planners will remain entrusted with the fundamental task of preparing guidelines of regional development and specific plans for the construction of the physical environment. This task is often complicated by the fact that plans must be prepared within a short time and be based on incomplete and sometimes coincidentally (or even intentionally) biased information and data.
