Description

The project aims at the field of public administration. The goal of the project is to reflect needs of the
citizens in the localisation of public services. Population movement is tracked in spatial patterns,
which will help to define proper settings of public services and their distribution in the territory. For
this purpose a high-quality analysis based on current and valid data is needed. Therefore, a
purchase of data from geolocation network of the mobile operators in the form of public procurement
comprises an important part of the project.
According to the analysis of daily commuting streams of inhabitants based on the purchased data,
various models of the distribution of public services will be elaborated. The objective of the project
is to prepare particular proposals and recommendations for the distribution of public administration
services and especially the territorial arrangement of authorities for their best coordination,
performance and accessibility for citizens based on the aforementioned models.
The implementation of the project is expected to last 4 years and it can be divided into 4 key
phases. The first one concentrates on knowledge transfer from the Norwegian Partner Institutions
(project partners) and their experience in working with these data. Gained knowledge will be used
especially in an elaboration of the methodological document, preparation of the tender
documentation and after that on realisation of the public procurement which is the second phase. A
Czech expert advisory board (Multidisciplinary platform) will participate in this activity. The third
phase is focusing on spatial analysis of daily population movement based on the purchased
database. In fourth phase proposals and recommendation of adjustment of territorial structure of
public administration will be assembled as a final output of the project. This way, the overall output
of the programme (“Improved responsiveness of public administration to citizens’ needs”) will be
reached.
