'''Local Residents Group'''  

 

 

According to the local residents, economy is one of the most important topics, because its closely connected to the quality of life. So the economic standard is to be improved. That doesnt mean that the focus should be just on the economical field so that the other fields of interest would suffer. The present assignment of activities in the Most district is divided in Industry (10,8 %), Construction (10,9 %), Agriculture (2,1%), Services (79 %). The biggest employers in the Most district are the Unipetrol (Chemical Industry | 2000 -2499 employees), Mostecka Uhelna (Mining company | 4000 – 4999 empl.), Ceska Rafinerska (Chemical Industry | 1000 – 1499 empl.).  

The economical situations change in the course of time. Coal mining industry decreases as well as agricultural productions. There are less large concerns and the big employers had dismissed lots of employees. (Chemopetrol f.e. reduced the number of employees from 14000 to 2500). So there is a huge unemployment problem in this region. The unemployment rate is one of the highest in Czech republic. The Most region counts a rate of 15 percent. In villages it is up to 40 %. In Most region, there is a workforce of about 51,4 %.  

 

Education is of high importance fort the development of the local people. Higher education means higher living standards and higher rate of interest to their environment. Unfortunately the educational level of the people in this region is low. One percent of job seekers in Most district are without education. Two percent have higher education of university but the largest part of job seekers are with Elementary (47 %) and Secondary (50 %) education. The high level of low educated people results in unemployment, demotivation and lack of action from the local residents. To reduce the unemployment, it is possible to take part in occupational re-education programs. Higher education and information of the local people about the local history and background is important to improve the inhabitants’ relationship to their homeland. Solution would be a better access to higher education and to focus on youth and children to develop their fondness to this places and at the same time their knowledge about it.  

 

One can say that the accessibility to services and transport in Most and Litvinov is quite good. But further you move into the mountain areas the possibilities grow fewer. If mining limits are exceeded the situation in the mountain areas will worsen because the ways to reach the public service infrastructure will get longer. Transport and services are also of great matter for the quality of life.

 

 

A good and sustainable environment is important for the peoples connection to their homeland, because they know that their children will grow up in an healthy and pleasant environment. A nice environment will also attract the tourists and new residents, who are supporting the areas economy. The environment is endangered by heavy industry and the mining processes (in case of breaking the mining limits).
