The project will reveal, quantify and analyze actual regional disparities (among regions NUTS 3) in availability and affordability of housing in the Czech Republic. The time series describing the development of such disparities will be provided. The project will also analyse the influence of changes in housing conditions, in general, and the changes in regional disparities in housing conditions (availability and affordability of housing), in particular, on their potential selected socio-economic consequences. In this respect the project will use the original new methodology for measurement of availability and affordability of housing that reflects the particular situation in transitional countries.
The goal of the project is also to identify such factors that, on one side, influence the level of availability and affordability of housing and their regional disparities, and, on the second side, may be effectively shaped by public interventions. The goal is to propose such effective and efficient measures (tools) that would:
- increase availability and affordability of housing;
- decrease the regional disparities in availability and affordability of housing;
- decrease negative socio-economic consequences of low availability and affordability of housing and high regional disparities in availability and affordability of housing - especially consequences on demographic behaviour patterns of young generation, flexibility of labour and spatial social segregation of households endangered by unaffordability of housing;
- increase availability of particular types of housing especially in regions where there is high discrepance between housing supply and housing need (housing demand) of particular types of housing;
- increase availability of housing through particular effective and efficient tools on housing refurbishment;
- increase availability of housing through the introduction of new forms of rental housing.

The paper focuses on homelessness in the Czech Republic. The aim of the paper is to describe the causes of housing exclusion as well as the factors of successful social reintegration and re-housing.
This article examines if regional differences in housing affordability have an impact on labour mobility. This relationship is important for understanding the sources of structural unemployment and impediments to economic growth. A time series regression analysis reveals that the impact of housing affordability on observed inter-regional migration patterns is relatively weak; and this effect is concentrated among the highly educated seeking employment in the capital, Prague.
The aim of the article is to highlight the connection between the labour and housing markets, focused on the barriers potentially obstructing the labour migration. Negative influence of growing share of owner-occupied housing on willingness to move was documented for the Czech Republic. The regional differences in housing affordability are another factor which poses barrier for labour migration, especially for individuals/households of lower qualifications.
The goal of the chapter is to present the conclusions from the statistical analysis of associations between the trends in regional differences in financial affordability of housing and trends in economic performance of regions in the Czech Republic.
Czech Regions are very different in terms of affordability of ownership housing because regional differences in prices are larger that regional differences in household incomes. Ownership housing is the least affordable in Prague and South Moravia while the most affordable in Usti and Moravia-Silesia Regions. Analysis of data from period 2000-2006 proved that affordability of ownership housing is quickly changing over time.
The goal of the chapter was to describe the trends in regional differences in the rental housing affordability for different types and clusters of households in the Czech Republic between 2000 and 2006, and to summarize the main socio-economic consequences of this development.
The study includes comparison of migration levels among selected EU-27 countries, analysis of regional differences in the level of internal migration in the CR, overview of selected theories explaining the relationship between housing conditions and labour migration, results of empirical analysis of the relationships between regional differences in housing affordability and level of internal migration in the CR, and proposal of tools supporting labour migration in the CR.
