| 13. TOWNS AND MUNICIPALITIES | Back
Act No. 314/2002 Coll., of 13 June 2002, which takes its effect on 1 January 2003, laid down a list of municipalities with extended competence and municipalities with authorized local government. In connection with this Act, the Ministry of the Interior of the CR established administrative districts of these municipalities by its Decree No. 388/2002, which completed one of the stages of the public administration reform. The table shows an overview of the administrative districts of the municipalities with extended competence and the municipalities with authorized local government established in the region. It gives the number of municipalities belonging to administrative district and the area of this territory. The population derived from the Population and Housing Census 2001 is the number of persons recorded for permanent residence in a municipality of the territorial district. Included in this number for 2001 are also foreigners with long-term stays (over 90 days) on the territory concerned. The figures are converted to correspond to the territorial structure in force as at 1 March 2001. The figures on the number of job applicants were provided by the employment offices established in the districts and are measured in the framework of the database of statistics on towns and municipalities (MOS database). The town is a municipality, which was granted the status of town pursuant to the Act on Municipalities. The tables give overviews on towns in regions, arranged in alphabetical order. Basic demographic data covering last three years are given for each of the towns. The data are obtained from reports of births, deaths and migration. Listed are also the age distribution of population in towns as at 31 December 2000, selected types of technical and public infrastructure of towns (including detached workplaces), and the number of enterprises having their head offices in the towns. All these data (and many more) are included in the MOS database. The municipality is a basic territorial self-governing community of citizens. It makes up a territorial unit delimitated by borders. Table 13-9 gives selected data on individual municipalities pooled together to make administrative districts of municipalities with extended competence. This territorial structure takes effect from 1 January 2003. The figure in the brackets following the name of the administrative district is an official numerical code corresponding to the CZSO’s codebook.
