Statistická ročenka Hlavního města Prahy
Methodology
This chapter includes comparison of selected towns of the Czech Republic. A town is a municipality, which was granted status of a chartered town based on the Act on Municipalities. From the CR, the biggest towns were selected for the comparison. The basic criterion for the selection was population. Another criterion was position among self-governing units (regional towns) and also inclusion of towns in the CZ NUTS category.
Indicators to be compared - as for towns of the CR - were selected according to data availability. Most of the published data are outputs from statistical surveys of the CZSO.
Other data sources are: Czech Hydrometeorological Institute, Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre, Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, Road Data Bank located in Ostrava, Institute for Information on Education, Institute of Health Information and Statistics, Czech Social Security Administration, Police Headquarters of the CR, Ministry of the Interior, General Directorate of the Czech Fire and Rescue Service.
