As it was mentioned, all three pilot projects were supposed to be test projects, whose aim was testing of possibilities of mobile positioning data in field of setting up the public authorities network and public services. The Ministry of the Interior is considering possibilities how to optimize the network of public services and spatial distribution of services. Mobile positioning data has been identified as an approach that should help with the spatial optimalization. The vast majority of currently available data related to the optimalization of the public administration performance comes from various collections carried out by the Czech Statistical Office. The problem is that a number of important data are collected only as part of a regular census in 10 year intervals. This interval has own limitation because the period of 10 years between two census is too long. Therefore public authorities are not able to describe and react on ongoing social-economic changes.
Individual pilot projects dealt with specific issues that the Czech Republic faces in the field of the public administration. Specifically, there is an issue related to the territorial administrative division of the state in the Liberec region, where an unclear network of public authorities persisted. For the local population, the distribution of public services and the performance of the public administration was very unclear. The project provided clear information about the socio-economic linkages of its local population and prepared background information for the government’s decision about administrative border adjustment in the region.
The results of another pilot project became an input for solving the performance of public administration in the agglomeration of the Czech capital. More specifically, this was the case when one of the small municipality in the agglomeration required the authorization of IDs issuance. However, this agenda in the Czech Republic belongs only to larger municipal category. Crucial aspect of the project was to find out whether the citizens are using the public services in the municipality or they are commuting to the larger center. According to this survey, it wasn«t neccessary to change competencies of the municipal authority.
The last pilot project was part of an extensive analysis that contributed to the elaboration of options for simplification, spatial accessibility and better clarity for citizens and stakeholders in the performance of public administration in the territory.
