Gambling and its accessibility: case study of Olomouc (Czech Republic)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The issue of gambling, which the article discusses, is – in terms of scientific approach – a rather neglected topic in the Czech Republic, although in recent years gambling has enjoyed signifi cant media coverage. This geographical contribution to the study of gambling at a local level lies mainly in the exploration of its spatial distribution and the related accessibility. Many studies have shown the impact of the accessibility of gambling on the prevalence of problem and pathological gambling. This article aims to analyse the spatial concentration of gambling venues in Olomouc and explain the localization of its centres. For this purpose, we used the kernel density function in the ArcGIS programme. We have defi ned two kernels, one in the historical centre of Olomouc and the other near the main railway station. Both the gambling centres are easily accessible locations and it is also possible to connect them with a higher number of crimes committed.
