How Transnational Migrants Integrate: The Case of Moldovans Living in Czechia and Italy
Eva Janská, Jiří Hasman, Zdeněk Čermák
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2021, 57(3): 267-292 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.011
This article examines whether the social, cultural, or economic dimensions of integration into a receiving society have the effect of intensifying or weakening transnational ties to a migrant's country of origin. The article is based on an analysis of unique data gathered in a questionnaire survey conducted among 409 Moldovan migrants living in Italy and Czechia and resident there for more than one year. Transnational and integration indices were constructed in order to investigate the relationships between selected characteristics of the respondents. The analysis reveals that greater socio-cultural integration is accompanied by weaker transnational...
Making the Ghetto at Luník IX, Slovakia: People, Landfill, and the Myth of the Urban Green Space
Richard Filčák, Ondřej Ficeri
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2021, 57(3): 293-313 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2021.020
The prevailing public perception of Luník IX, a Roma district in the Slovak city of Košice, is that it represents the story of an originally green urban space, one of the best for healthy living given its fresh air and proximity to the forest, that was destroyed by naïve decision-makers and irresponsible Roma. This article, based on a combination of qualitative sociological and historical research, questions this narrative and deems it a myth. The district’s proximity to a landfill and the consequent environmental effects of this played a decisive role in its ghettoisation, yet these factors have never been systematically analysed and discussed....
Transitions in Old Age: The Meanings of Body from the Perspective of Older Adults with Acquired Impairment
Tatiana Sedláková, Marcela Petrová Kafková
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2021, 57(3): 315-342 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.032
This paper summarises the knowledge about transition from the third age to what is called the fourth age. The study understands ageing as an embodied process and explores the meanings that are attached to the body in the narratives of older persons who have acquired impairment in later life and are receiving care. Because the onset of impairment and infirmity marks a point of transition, the study considers the bodily aspects of the ageing process as key elements, despite this being highly problematic in current social gerontology. The authors call for a complex approach to understanding the meanings of the body in the transitions into old age and...
Measurement Invariance of the SQWLi Instrument Over Time
Jiří Vinopal, Kristýna Pospíšilová
Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2021, 57(3): 343-376 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2020.048
The SQWLi questionnaire was developed for the long-term measurement of subjectively perceived quality of working life. The aim of this study is to test the instrument's measurement invariance between 2009 and 2019 and determine whether - despite the modifications made to the instrument over the years - the results remain comparable. Data from eight representative surveys of the economically active population in the Czech Republic were analysed (total N = 6909) using the MG CFA method (configural, metric, and scalar invariance) and the alignment method (approximate measurement invariance). The findings from the MG CFA tests for measurement invariance...
