“…11 Rumpel, et al describe this ‘shrinkage’ as a process characterised by population losses and the deterioration of the building stock. 12 Communal facilities and spaces for socialising have been slowly disappearing from the neighbourhood. The park in the middle of Pěkná street, once a centre of community life where people would sit in groups, chatting and watching children playing, was often deserted during the spring and summer of 2016.…”

Stigma and segregation: containing the Roma of Údol, Czech Republic

This article analyses the lived experience of a Czech Roma community in Údol, Ostrava. Based on the author’s participant-observation research, it demonstrates how certain neighbourhoods are increasingly targeted by policy measures which range from the denial of benefits to residents of certain areas to large-scale evictions or plans to demolish public housing. Such approaches are becoming a Europe-wide phenomenon. Although proponents of these measures argue the need to ‘protect law and order’, their policies target communities that are racialised as immigrant, Roma or Muslim. In some ways, the social exclusion of the Roma mirrors that of Black people in US ghettos, but there are also significant differences. The author demonstrates how the ‘post-socialist’ reality of Údol has been defined by the outsourcing of the state’s social functions, such as housing, to be carried out by charities and business. This has contributed, in what has now been turned into a racially defined space, to the ongoing reproduction of Údol’s containment of its Roma population, who, nonetheless, in their everyday life strategies have developed reliance on local and community networks that have replaced the state.

“…tiskařské služby mají větší tendenci koncentrace jinde v regionu, a to v nedalekém městě Český Těšín, kde je vůbec nejvyšší podíl tisku na zaměstnanosti v kreativních odvětvích v celém Česku. Určité menší zastoupení firem (a s tím spojený počet zaměstnanců) ve městě je možnost přičíst i službám vydavatelským, tvorbě programů a TV vysílání (Slach, Ženka 2017) (jedinou institucí koncentrovanou ve vnitřním městě Ostravy je sídlo České televize, které čítá zhruba 215 zaměstnanců) (Rumpel, Slach, Koutský 2010), oproti tomu vysoký počet zaměstnanců vykazují služby vydávání softwarových programů. Naopak, slabých hodnot dosahují na území Ostravy odvětví vydavatelství počítačových her a návrhářská činnost (Slach, Ženka 2017).…”

“…It must be noted that the deindustrialisation process in the metropolitan regions has started in some cities even before the transition process, in the 1980s, as documented in Croatia's capital development (Svirčić-Gotovac, 2006). However, while western EU economies experienced urban shrinking since the 1970s, CEE countries continued to support industry and neglect service sector up to 1989 which resulted in overgrowth of industrial agglomerations (Rumpel et al, 2013).…”

The main objective of the paper is to study the role of localisation and the urbanisation (or diversifi cation) economies in urban post-transition SEE, by constructing and analysing manufacturing specialisation and diversifi cation measures over the period 2006-2013. The second objective of the paper is to analyse differences within manufacturing industry across cities in terms of their technological complexity. Industries are mapped across cities with over 50,000 populations (98 cities in six SEE, covering 35.3% of the total SEE population), a population threshold that is in line with previous literature. The data were obtained from Bureau Van Dijk's Amadeus fi rm-level database containing, most importantly, balance sheet data and profi t-and-loss account data for CEE. The analysis of manufacturing industry diversifi cation and specialisation in the cities is based on the relation between agglomeration economies of the Marshall-Arrow-Romer type (economies of location or specialization) and the Jacobs-Porter type (economies of urbanization or diversifi cation). Analysis results revealed that a particular specialisation pattern that would point to a homogenous system of cities throughout the region could not be confi rmed. City specialisation in manufacturing was negatively correlated to city size in SEE, but this relation has not shown particularly strong. Similarly to other countries, top-specialised cities are specialised in manufacturing closely related to natural resources such as petroleum products and tobacco, pointing to advantages arising from "fi rst nature" geography. However, diversity and specialisation are not exact opposites, as there are cities which are both diversifi ed and specialised. The results of the second part of the analysis show that medium-low technology and low technology groups of industries in manufacturing prevail in total turnover, with 36.2% and 35.0% share, respectively. City specialization in the prevailing technology group in SEE, in medium-low technology, is highest in Bulgarian, Bosnian and Herzegovinian and in Croatian cities.
