    Implementation of GIS Tools in the Quality of Life Assessment of Czech Municipalities

  • Original language description

    Although quality of life is a phenomenon with a significant geographical component, its assessment is often only based on non-spatial statistical data. In Czechia, there are currently several assessments of quality of life at the level of municipalities, yet they do not consider the spatial aspect of the input indicators. This study uses the existing quality of life index compiled by the research agencies Median and the Aspen Institute, whose input indicators related to the accessibility of services and facilities have been redesigned to capture real-world phenomena more appropriately with GIS (Geographic Information Systems) tools using network analysis. In accordance with the original methodology, an adjusted index of quality of life was compiled. An update of indicators resulted in a more accurate description of quality of life. The differences between the original and the adjusted index were mainly seen in the areas around the larger cities, where quality of life has significantly risen. On the other hand, rural/rather rural areas experienced a slight decrease in quality of life with the change of inputs. The mapping of the resulting index documents the disparities in quality of life across Czechia and contributes to the discussions on the topic of quality of life in Czechia with new up-to-date reference data.
