Evaluation of Local Accessibility of Homes for Seniors using Multi-Criteria Approach - Evidence from the Czech Republic
Original language description
The availability of public services has been perceived as one of the parameters for evaluating the quality of services and a basic component of the effectiveness of the system. Social services have been understood as public services in the countries of the European Union. The state has the primary responsibility for ensuring the availability of social services and should have established powers in the area of planning, coordination and evaluation. The aim of this paper is a comprehensive evaluation of the availability of homes for seniors aggregated into individual districts of the Czech Republic. The method of multi-criteria decision-making was chosen for the evaluation, specifically Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution in combination with the Coefficient of Variance method, as a method for objective determination of the weights of input indicators. 77 districts of the Czech Republic and 519 homes for seniors in 2017 were evaluated, which were registered providers of social services for persons who, due to age and reduced self-sufficiency, cannot take care of themselves and are users of residential social services. Based on 14 defined indicators, the local accessibility within individual districts of the Czech Republic has been evaluated, focusing on 5 research questions. The indicators have been defined in such a way as to reflect the nature of the problems and to define the need for this service in the territory. Based on the results, a significant relationship was demonstrated between the amount of subsidy per bed per month granted to homes for seniors in individual districts of the Czech Republic and service availability, i.e. districts in which homes for seniors with higher subsidies per bed show better availability.
