Housing Estate

A housing estate is a group of homes and other buildings built together as a single development. The exact form may vary from country to country. Accordingly, a housing estate is usually built by a single contractor, with only a few styles of house or building design, so they tend to be uniform in appearance. In European cities such as Czech, Spain and Prague, an estate may range from detached houses to high density tower blocks with or without commercial facilities; in Europe and America, these may take the form of town housing, or the older-style rows of terraced houses associated with the industrial revolution, detached or semi-detached houses with small plots of land around them forming gardens, and are frequently without commercial facilities. Housing estates are the usual form of residential design used in new towns, where estates are designed as an autonomous suburb, centered on a small commercial centre. Such estates are usually designed to minimize through-traffic flows, and to provide recreational space in the form of parks and greens.

Prague Town Houses

Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. It is the fourteenth-largest city in the European Union. It is also the historical capital of Bohemia. Situated in the north-west of the country on the Vltava River, the city is home to about 1.24 million people, while its larger urban zone is estimated to have a population of nearly 2 million. The city has a temperate climate, with warm summers and chilly winters. Prague Townhouses are generally rows of terraced houses, often in typical regional style set around communal gardens with a pool. Townhouse complexes are increasingly popular around large towns and cities, particularly Madrid, where there are vast suburbs lined with row upon row of townhouses. In coastal resorts townhouses are often built in a style known as the �Mediterranean village� and houses may be white-washed or, as is increasingly popular nowadays, painted in shades of blue and yellow. Townhouses are usually spacious and often have three or four floors, including a basement for a garage and storage, and a roof area with a roof terrace known as a solarium. Townhouses generally have little outside space or garden except for a small patch at the front and back, often paved as a patio. Construction tends to be recent and is generally of reasonable to good quality.

Student Housing

Most universities in the Czech Republic offers student housing in their own dormitories. To find information about the school�s own housing facilities, you can look for �koleje� or �dormitories� on the respective institute websites.

Hotels

Hotels in Prague are now just as expensive as anywhere in western Europe, but the standard of hotel accommodation has improved enormously over the past decade, and Prague offers everything from beautifully restored historic buildings, to boutique hotels created by cutting-edge designers. Outside of the capital, hotel rates - and standards - are a bit lower, though there are certainly high-end hotels in major cities such as Brno and Ostrava, and in popular resorts like Karlovy Vary and Cesky Krumlov.

Bed and breakfast

A pension is usually a small, family-run place with up to half a dozen rooms. These are a bit like a British bed and breakfast, though slightly more formal, and they tend to be more common than hotels in rural areas.

Camping

Most Czech campsites offer pitches for both tents and caravans, with a communal shower and toilet block. Some also have chaty - basic, unheated huts or bungalows that you can rent by the night. Most are open from about March through October

Other accommodation

Hostels: These can range from dedicated backpacker accommodation in Prague and other popular locations, to dorms in student halls of residence or sporting club facilities. A number of youth hostels in the Czech Republic are affiliated with Hostelling International; several of these are located in Prague. Contact the Czech Youth Hostel Association for more information.

Apartments: Prague offers an ever-increasing number of private apartments available for short-term rental, and these can prove much better value than a hotel.

The Czech Republic awards scholarships for study programmes at the Language and Foundation Studies Centre of Charles University and for Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctor’s programmes at public higher educational institutions. Regarding Doctor’s study programmes, preferences are given to the graduates of Czech higher educational institutions. A foreign national who applies for a Czech Republic government scholarship to study at a public institution of higher education and has no knowledge of the Czech language can receive a scholarship for a special one-year language and foundation studies course at the Institute of Language and Foundations Studies of Charles University. At the end of the language and foundation study course, the student is required to successfully pass the entrance examination, in which the scope and contents are designed by the respective faculty or higher educational institution. The faculty or higher educational institution itself publishes basic information about admission procedures in advance.

The Czech Republic was the western part of the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic. Formed into a common state after World WarI (October 28, 1918),the Czechs, Moravians,and Slovaks remained united for almost 75 years.On January 1,1993,the two republics split to form two separate states.The first important empire on Czech territory was the Great Moravian Empire, established by Slav tribes between the 9th and 10th centuries, midway through this period,the Czechs seceded from the empire and set up their own state- Bohemia.

The 1968 Soviet Invasion

The communist leadership allowed token reforms in the early 1960s,but discontent arose within the ranks of the Communist Party central committee,stemming from dissatisfaction with the slow pace of the economic reforms,resistance to cultural liberalization, and the desire of the Slovaks within the leadership for greater autonomy for their republic.After January 1968,the Dubcek leadership took practical steps toward political,social,and economic reforms.In addition,it called for politico-military changes in the Soviet-dominated Warsaw Pact and Council for Mutual Economic Assistance.The leadership affirmed its loyalty to socialism and the Warsaw Pact but also expressed the desire to improve relations with all countries of the world regardless of their social systems.

The Velvet Revolution

The roots of the 1989 Civic Forum movement that came to power during the Velvet Revolution lie in human rights activism. On January 1,1977, more than 250 human rights activists signed a manifesto called the Charter 77,which criticized the government for failing to implement human rights provisions of documents it had signed, including the state own constitution;international covenants on political,civil,economic,social,and cultural rights; and the Final Act of the Conference for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Although not organized in any real sense,the signatories of Charter 77 constituted a citizens initiative aimed at inducing the Czechoslovak Government to observe formal obligations to respect the human rights of its citizens.By 1989,with the fall of the USSR, Czechoslovakia political scenario too changed.Under explaywright Vaclav Havel, a democratic state was formed. Four years later, thanks to relentless demands for autonomy by the Slovaks,the country split into two: the Czech and Slovak Republics. Since than, the Czech Republic has made considerable progress: the economy is developing, the country opening up,and tourism is on the upswing despite problems,of which the most severe are pollution, crime and housing problems.

The culture of a nation encompasses the set of norms, behaviours, beliefs, and customs that exist within its population. Czech Republic culture and is generally placed ahead of work. The Czech nation possesses a distinctive culture. Their unique geographical position in the heart of Europe has invited influences from far and wide. While speaking a Slavic language, the Czechs have been party to western European political, economic, and social trends.

ART

Art played an important role in the culture of the Czech lands from the year 1100 up to the start of the 13th century. Under the communist regime, prominent writers, painters, and sculptors as well as museums, theatres, art galleries, and major orchestras were supported by the state. This generous support of theatres and orchestras meant that tickets to artistic events, from play readings to costly productions such as operas in Prague National Theatre, were affordable by all. Those in the arts who received state money had to conform to political and ideological dictates, or at least make certain that they did not offend the Soviet Union, those in power in their own country, and the Communist Party.

ARCHITECTURE

Architecture in the Czech lands dates from the second half of the ninth century .Prague has thousands of architectural and artistic monuments of every style, attesting to its long. Most houses are constructed of cinder blocks or bricks and the rooms tend to be quite small. Czech Republic is a fairly densely populated country, with about 340 persons per square mile. The highest population density is in metropolitan Prague , which has 1.3 million inhabitants. The next three largest cities are the capital of Moravia, Brno, with approximately 400,000 people; Ostrava in northern Moravia, with about 350,000; and Plzen , with approximately 180,000. Seven cities have populations just below or above 100,000.

In comparison to many other European countries, the cost of living in the Czech Republic is generally low. Costs will of course vary according to lifestyle, but the monthly cost for food, accommodation and public transportation should amount to approximately 350-750 USD.Expenses covering the stay are substantially lower than in any west European Country.Expenses covering Food,Accomodation,and Public transportation come altogether to about 350-750 USD/month. Naturally,it all depends on the studentslifestyle and on how much he/she really wants to spend.The Prices can also vary considerably depending on where you stay.Last year the Czech National Bank devalued the Czech Crown.You might be wondering how this will affect things from the cost of groceries to a night out. Despite the devaluation,some prices have remained more or less than same since our last list. The inflation rate, which the Czech Bureau of Statistics gives based on the consumer price index, sat at 1.4% for December 2013. While the inflation rate has been quite low, the average monthly wage, which according to the Czech Bureau of Statistics is a little under 25,000 CZK,has lost some purchasing power. On average, rental prices have risen by about 2% across Prague.This average,however,hides the regional variation.Prague 1 rentals have gone up by 3.5% while Prague 2 rentals have decreased by 2.8%. This figure happened to be the largest drop. The area with the largest increase was Prague 8 with 5.3%. The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) is the best card for all students.It allows cardholders to get students discounts for transport,Restaurants,cinemas,museums,exhibitions and concerts.

Healthcare in Europe

Healthcare in Europe is provided through a wide range of different systems run at the national level. The systems are primarily publicly funded through taxation.Private funding for health care may represent personal contributions towards meeting the non-taxpayer refunded portion of health care or may reflect totally private health care either paid out of pocket or met by some form of personal or employer funded insurance. All EU and many other European countries offer their citizens a European Health Insurance Card which, on a reciprocal basis,provides insurance for emergency medical treatment insurance when visiting other participating European countries. The European Union has no major administrative responsibility in the field of health care.The European Commission Directorate-General for Health and Consumers however seeks to align national laws on the safety of food and other products,on consumers rights and on the protection of people health, to form new EU wide laws and thus strengthen its internal markets.

The Czech Health Care System

The Czech health care system has a great degree of decentralization and market forces used in it compared to other European systems,and the nation has faced substantial problems after the transition from Communist dictatorial rule to capitalistic democracy in the 1989-1992 period. From the past top-down centralized government system, the newly elected administrators enacted reforms designed to expand patient choice. From 1990 to 1998, deaths under one year of age shrank from 10.8 to 5.2 per thousand. Statistically, the Czech Republic is one of the healthiest of the central and eastern European countries, though some data points lag behind the more advanced Western European nations. The Republic has been a member of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) since 1995. There is currently considerable interest in looking to Western Europe for inspiration and a certain degree of willingness to implement, what is usually described as, the European model of health care. The context of the situation in the Czech Republic, traditions with respect to social organization and attitudes to health and health issues, and also the economic situation of the country, will all play an important role and pose many specific issues when trying to implement new concepts such as a family doctor. It remains to be seen how far these new concepts are effective and viable in the context of the Czech Republic.

Highways

The highways in the Czech Republic are divided into motorways and expressways.These dual carriageways are managed by the state-owned Road and Motorway Directorate of the Czech Republic RSD,established in 1997.The first modern highways in the Czech Republic was the motorway from Prague to the Slovak border through Brno whose construction was started on May 2, 1939.

Between 2007 and 2013, the death rate fell in every year,with a record low of 583 deaths in 2013, compared with the 1994 high of 1,473 casualties.
