Bytová péče v meziválečném Československu

The thesis deals with a chronologicall detailed mapping of the evolution of interwar Czechoslovakia housing policy instruments, taking into account the needs of the population at that time. Prior to the analysis of the topic, the thesis offers the characteristics of housing policy and the housing market. As part of the expert discussion on the impact of specific housing policy instruments on the housing market and the entire economy, conclusions are drawn on how successful housing policy should look like. Although the work is focused on the interwar Czechoslovakia, a brief overview of the housing policy implemented in Austria-Hungary is also included for a proper understanding of the functioning of the Czechoslovak housing policy. This thesis chronologically analyzes the legislative framework and impacts of individual housing policy instruments in Czechoslovakia. There is a finding that Czechoslovak housing policy had a clear concept, was relatively predictable and significantly improved during the period in provision of services required by poor people. In the later years, it also managed to better adapt to the changing economic situations. Conclusions of the thesis are mainly supported by study of period sources, which have the character of monographs or studies and especially periodically published statistical reports and yearbooks.
