Transport and Communications
Introductory note | Contents |
Dear Users,
This publication “Transport and Communications”, you are holding in your hand contains information on the development of employment, basic financial indicators, indicators on goods and passengers transported for a given quarter and the period from the beginning of year. The Section of transport and communications marks activities that are included in the following Divisions of CZ-NACE:
60 - Land transport; transport via pipelines
61 - Water transport
62 - Air transport
63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport activities; activities of travel agencies
64 - Post and telecommunications.
The publication is presented in two languages - Czech and English - and is also available in electronic form on the web pages of the Czech Statistical Office (/ep-9-opendocument - 93). It comprises three parts.
Part A: Results of quarterly surveys on financial indicators
Data of this part of publication result from the processing of the Quarterly questionnaire P 3-04. For the selection of businesses included in the survey we used administrative sources that are included in the Business Register. Medium-sized businesses (usually with 20 – 99 employees) fill the questionnaire P 3-04(b) and large businesses (usually with 100 and more employees) the questionnaire P 3-04(c). Individual “versions“ of the questionnaire P 3-04 differ in the number of indicators required. Basic indicators have the same methodological determination and are measured by both the questionnaires. In total, the quarterly questionnaire on transport and communications was sent to approximately a thousand units; response rate was 80,0 % for the third quarter of 2006. Data for the set of units that do not receive the quarterly questionnaire (small businesses, usually with less than 20 employees or without employees) are estimated using information from monthly surveys SP 1-12 and then specified according to the last results of annual surveys available.
In terms of methodology, data for individual periods of 2006 are comparable with those for 2005. In consequence of retroactive corrections made for preceding periods (erroneously reported data, inclusion of delayed questionnaires), and also due to estimates for the non-surveyed part of units taking into account the results of the latest available annual surveys, the data for preceding periods differ from the previously published data.
The publication contains basic indicators by individual Divisions (2-digit codes) of CZ-NACE and an overview of financial indicators for large enterprises (with 100 and more employees).
Part B: Results of quarterly surveys on volume indicators
Data of this part of the publication report on quarterly development of basic volume indicators for individual means of transport.
Data are divided into two groups of tables. The first group of tables (Tab 3., Tab. 3.1 and Tab. 3,2) informs on passenger transport, the second group (Tab. 4., Tab. 4.1 – Tab. 4.9) on goods transport.
Part C: Graphs
The graphs in Part D show share of Section transport, storage and communication in gross value added in the CR (Graph 1), share of two 2-digit CZ-NACE activities in total sales in Section of transport, storage and communication (Graph 2), inland freight transport outputs to GDP ratio in the CR (Graph 3) and Graph 4 compares development of rail and road freight transport outputs in the CR.
