Can We Speak of Ghettos in Czech Cities?
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper covers the processes of ghettoization in socially excluded areas in the Czech Republic that are settled mainly by the Roma. I have attempted to document the logic of ghettoization using the case of an area called Poschla that emerged in Vsetín in 2006. On the basis of semistructured interviews with inhabitants and social workers, I endeavoured to find out whether Poschla was in the process of ghettoization. From the interviews and other collated data, I searched for signs of ghettoization and social exclusion as we know them from sociological theory, especially drawing from the ideas of Loïc Wacquant.

The Formation of Ghettos as a Local Interaction Phenomenon
I analyze a simple evolutionary model of residential segregation based on decentralized racism which extends Schelling’s (1972) well-known tipping model by allowing for local interaction between residents. The richer set-up explains not only the persistence of ghettos, but also provides a mechanism for the rapid transition from an all-white to an all-black equilibrium. On one-dimensional street...
متن کاملTREND-CYCLE ESTIMATION USING FUZZY TRANSFORM OF HIGHER DEGREE
In this paper, we provide theoretical justification for the application of higher degree fuzzy transform in time series analysis. Under the assumption that a time series can be additively decomposed into a trend-cycle, a seasonal component and a random noise, we demonstrate that the higher degree fuzzy transform technique can be used for the estimation of the trend-cycle, which is one of the ba...

Over the past two decades, the plight of America's cities has become almost a commonplace of social comment. While city tax bases are eroding and their job markets declining as companies seek cheaper, newer, or more accessible facilities in the suburbs, their schools and services struggle against the combined impact of inflation, unemployment, and shrinking federal assistance. The cities are se...
متن کاملFirst step immersion in interval linear programming with linear dependencies
We consider a linear programming problem in a general form and suppose that all coefficients may vary in some prescribed intervals. Contrary to classical models, where parameters can attain any value from the interval domains independently, we study problems with linear dependencies between the parameters. We present a class of problems that are easily solved by reduction to the classi...
متن کاملPerspectives of Big Data Quality in Smart Service Ecosystems (Quality of Design and Quality of Conformance)
Despite the increasing importance of data and information quality, current research related to Big Data quality is still limited. It is particularly unknown how to apply previous data quality models to Big Data. In this paper we review Big Data quality research from several perspectives and apply a known quality model with its elements of conformance to specification and design in the context o...
