The aim of this article is to investigate the factors that influence the size of activity spaces of homeless men and women in cities. Vulnerable population groups such as the homeless face the risk of mobility challenges that can exacerbate their social exclusion even more through mobility-driven spatial exclusion. The extent of an individual’'s activity space is a key precondition for the daily coping strategies and life opportunities of homeless people.

Forests are being increasingly studied within the framework of social sciences, especially in relation to environmental problems and global climate change. This article deals with the perception of Czech forests and their management at two basic levels: at the level of sociological analysis of in-depth interviews with experts in the field of forestry and at the level of public opinion research.
Předkládaná publikace vznikla v rámci Strategie AV21, v programu Rozmanitost
a zdraví ekosystémů, v němž se v roce 2017 řešila aktivita Les jako součást krajiny
a zdroj poznání. Smyslem bylo nashromáždit odborné podklady, které by vedly k potřebným
změnám hospodaření v našich lesích. Podařilo se navázat spolupráci se čtyřmi
ústavy Akademie věd ČR i odborníky z lesnického výzkumu i provozu
Over two decades, the checklist has risen to prominence in healthcare improvement. This paper contributes to the debate between its proponents and critics, making the case for an STS-informed understanding of the checklist that demonstrates the limitations of both the ‘checklist-as-panacea’ and ‘checklist-as-socially-determined’ positions.

Praha je dynamickou multikulturní metropolí, která láká lidi z různých koutů světa svojí historickou, kulturní a v neposlední řadě také ekonomickou atraktivitou. V současné době cizí státní příslušníci tvoří o něco více než 15 % obyvatel hlavního města; přesně dvě třetiny těchto cizinců pochází ze zemí mimo EU. Migranti a migrantky se podílejí významným dílem na ekonomickém vývoji, populační dynamice a vzhledu metropole.
Utilising a comparative/doing gender approach and thematic narrative methodology, we examine how copreneurs – romantic business partners – construct business and caring responsibilities. We interviewed male-female partners separately from 12 couples in the Czech Republic (CR) and 13 in the United States (US), countries with diverse entrepreneurial histories, norms and family policies. We ask: (1) How do copreneurs construct/‘do’ business and family?
The results of research on domestic labour consistently show that women are responsible for more housework tasks than men. At the same time, there is growing public awareness of gender role equality. However, there is little evidence on whether there has been any change in the perception of fairness in the division of housework and whether this view differs in different families.
The aim of this paper is to introduce crime harmspots as a new analytical approach measuring the societal impact of crime at places. The crime harm approach has a clear practical applicability in policing and crime prevention. Increasing utilisation of geo-localised crime data and validity of law of crime concentration at places enables us to measure societal impact of crime at the level of individual street segments.
