“…For example, children and the elderly tend to be based more in their home neighbourhoods, whereas the workplace is also significant for people of working age. Additionally, working-aged people spend considerable amounts of time in out-of-home non-employment activity places and are much more mobile (Kraft 2014).…”

Both assimilation theory and common sense suggest that the longer the immigrants reside in a host society, the more they become integrated. However, studies conducted in many countries show the opposite: younger generations of immigrants are more segregated than their parents. The aim of this study is to examine differences in ethnic segregation between age groups of the Estonian majority and Russian-speaking minority in Estonia. We use census data and passive mobile positioning data (CDR) to measure levels of segregation at the individual level for important activity locations and for the whole activity space. Results indicate that segregation in both places of residence and out-of-home nonemployment activity districts is higher in younger than in older age groups. Measures of activity space show that the activity spaces of Russian-speakers of all age groups are smaller and less diverse than those of Estonians, and are mainly bound to the places of residence of Russian-speakers. The differences between the activity space measures for Estonians and Russian-speakers generally reduce with age, which suggests higher ethnic segregation in younger age groups. The results thus show that, contrary to assimilation theory, the spatial behaviour of Russian-speakers has not become similar to that of Estonians over generations.

“…Essential is the fi nding that more than 300,000 citizens of the Czech Republic currently live in areas where the time accessibility exceeds 45 minutes. This value can also be considered to be an anthropological constant in daily mobility (Kraft, 2014). Another fact is that these areas usually have adverse socio-economic characteristics (e.g.…”

The main purpose of the article is a critical evaluation of current administrative regions in the Czech Republic from a spatial point of view. The post-socialist transformation processes took place very quickly in the Czech Republic and they strongly infl uenced the spatial organization of the society. The study is focused on the present administrative organization of the Czech Republic in form of the 'districts of municipalities with extended competence'. We evaluate their role in fulfi lling the spatial equity principle through the time accessibility of the administrative centers from their administrative regions and through current socioeconomic spatial fl ows (expressed by daily commuting). The study brings important results of current spatial arrangement of public administration in the Czech Republic. The most problematic administrative regions in the Czech Republic in terms of their accessibility and their role in space are also mentioned. The results could be useful both in research and practice.

“…The main "external" determining factors of the changes include changes in the size structure of companies, development of suburbanisation processes, and the development of new forms of travel and leisure activities. These changes then led to the increased intensity of commuting to work and to school (Kraft and Květoň 2015). Even though the processes took place with varied intensity and at various stages in the post-socialist countries, they form the basic external framework of the transformation of their transport systems.…”

Spatial mobility and current travel behaviour in the metropolitan hinterland This article deals with current changes in mobility patterns and travel behaviour in the Czech Republic. The study is focused on the metropolitan hinterland of Prague. It is based on a detailed research of recent mobility patterns and transport behaviour in the administrative district of Benešov, which is located near Prague. This region was strongly influenced by the transformation of the spatial structure of the settlement system in the Czech Republic. As a result, there is a strong orientation on commuting to Prague. The study uses the database from last two population censuses to analyze the main spatial patterns of commuting to work and to schools in the district of Benešov between 2001 and 2011. The second part analyses current trends in transport behaviour of commuters based on a questionnaire survey. The study brings a few interesting results about the changing structure of spatial mobility and preferences of various transport modes as a part of complex transport behaviour.
