REGIONAL CITIESFROM THE PERSPECTIVE

OF QUALITY OF LIFE

New analytical and promotional publication brings the evaluation of regional cities based on the selected available variables on quality of life important not only at local and national level, but also at European level for monitoring the quality of life in European cities. Throu-gh the statistical data we analyse the development of individual aspects in the last years and we chose a simple and graphically understandable form on interes-ting information on eight largest Slovak cities.

Okruh: Regional statisticsDátum: August 2020

INTRODUCTIONFirst of all a little bit of statistics. More than half of the world population live in cities. In Slovakia, we have 140 towns of di�erent sizes, starting with the town Dudince with 1.4 thousand inhabitants up to the capital city with almost 433 thousand inhabitants. Out of the total of 5,5 million population, almost 54 % in total, live in cities and towns.

Focusing on citiesIn general, cities are the centres of jobs, education, cultural and sporting life with all the services and health care available. But their quality of life varies. Cities also struggle with di�erent problems, from ageing and a decrease of population, migration through the uncontrolled building developments, transport issues or pollution. Developing cities, which will be healthy and dynamic is not only the challenge of the current period. This initiative has been formed globally for decades. In last years it acquired clearer outlines, when the city dimension was included into the actual programmes, objectives and policies.

Why we need city statisticsThe development of cities has a big and justified importance. In 2015, it was ranked among the 17 main Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. The Goal 11 Sustainable cities and communities aims to make cities and urban settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Moreover, in May 2016, the Pact of Amsterdam on Urban Agenda for the European Union was adopted and besides the better regulation, funding and knowledge of cities it focuses also on the need of reliable statis-tical data necessary in the decision-making processes.

Slovak cities as part of the European city statistics An increasing demand on the evaluation of the quality of life in cities started a joint initiative of the Europe-an Commission and Eurostat (Statistical O�ce of the European Communities). The main objective is to provide collection of quantitative statistical data on the quality of life in European cities and regions to support the EU policies in the area of urban and rural development. The national statistical o�ces of the European countries are the main coordinators and ensure the collecti-on of statistical data on the national level. They provide a set of statistical indicators not only for cities, but also their commuting zones enabling to monitor the interconnections between the cities and their surroun-dings.

6

from the history of European city statistics...

year 1999 - first collection of statistical data on citiesIn total, 58 largest European cities were included in the pilot project. Initial list of indicators from di�erent domains quantifying the level of quality of life in cities was defined.

year 2003 - Slovak cities on the list of European cities After the successful pilot project, the initiative was extended to statistical data collection in cities within the whole Europe. Four Slovak cities - Bratislava, Košice, Nitra, Banská Bystrica – were included in the list of European cities.

year 2005 - collecting historical data In addition to the current data collection there was an interest to find out the quality of life through selected variables in previous years, reference years were 1991 and 1996.

year 2006 – other Slovak cities included in the collection

The remaining four regional capitals were included - Trnava, Trenčín, Žilina and Prešov.

year 2009 – collecting statistical data on yearly basis Initially the data collection was realized in three- or four- year period. The demand for more complex time series led to the yearly statistical data collection. The list of variables was gradually updated by the data availability.

present – regional cities as part of European city statisticsIn recent years, city statistics became an important part of European statistical surveys. The indica-tors are updated also according to the user requirements.

7

The result of the initiative is also the publication you are holding in your hands. We present the evaluation of regional cities based on the selected available indicators on the quality of life important not only at European and national level, but mainly at local level. We have chosen simple and graphically understandable view of interesting information on the eight largest Slovak cities and we believe you will find out something new about Slovakia also in this way.

...............

Basic termsThe Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics, referred to as NUTS, defines the administrati-ve division of the EU Member States. The classification is supplemented by territorial typologies defining di�erent territorial types. These typologies are defined at three territorial levels by basic units used for their definition: 1. statistical grid level - 1 km2 grid cells 2. local typologies - local administrative units (local level) 3. regional typologies – regions at NUTS 3 level (regional level)

Territorial types used in European city statistics are based on local typologies:cities - local administrative units with at least 50 thousand inhabitantsfunctional, urban areas – cities with their commuting zones

Data for individual indicators are evaluated and compared for the available reference years of the city statis-tics data collection. In case of unavailable data at city level, selected indicators were evaluated at the regio-nal level.The time series of statistical indicators were compiled in such a way that their methodological comparabili-ty was maintained throughout the observed period.Variations in sums and shares arise from data rounding.

Data sources: databases of the Statistical O�ce of the SR and Eurostat. Each indicator has a code under which the statistical data for the given indicator is stored in the respective database.Data is collected from surveys of the SO SR, in case of downloaded data, the information on the data source is given next to the indicator.Data on the distances of cities from the capital are taken from www.slovakiasite.com.

In Slovakia, the data collection within the European city statistics is carried out for regional capitals. Their functional urban areas are defined at district level. Bratislava capital is the exception with the functional urban area involving the NUTS 3 region.They are defined as follows:

At the beginning of 2019, up to 70.6 % of inhabi-

tants of Banská Bystrica district lived in a regio-

nal city, the most among all regional cities in

Slovakia

Bratislava and Košice were the other dominant

cities, accounting for 65.6 % and 64.9 % of the total

population of their FUAs. In districts of Nitra, Trnava

and Trenčín more than a half of the population lived

in the vicinity of regional cities. The lowest share

was in Nitra city with 47.5 % of the population of the

whole district. In districts of Žilina and Prešov, the

share of the inhabitants of the city and its surroun-

dings was relatively balanced. Over the last five

years, the population of all eight regional cities has

been gradually decreasing compared to the surroun-

ding area. The highest decrease in the share of the

city was in Prešov district (by 1.8 pp) and the share

of the population of Bratislava of the population in

the region of Bratislavský kraj (by 1.5 pp).

The population is growing only in the capital,

other regional cities are losing the population

Following the development since 2015, the popula-

tion grew only in Bratislava (by 3.1 %), while in the

surrounding region, Bratislavský kraj, the growth

was even more significant (by 5.5 %). In the other

seven regional cities the population has been

slowly declining for years, most significantly in

Nitra (by 1.8 % since 2015) and Prešov (by 1.7 %).

What cities lose is gained by their surroundings.

Except of Banská Bystrica district with the popula-

tion decreased by 0.1 % since 2015, the population

increased in all FUAs. Besides Bratislavský kraj, it

increased the most in districts of Prešov (by 1.9 %)

and Trnava (by 1.7 %).

Aging population characterizes the age structure

of regional cities and also their FUAs

In the last five years, the population aged 65 - 74

years increased almost in all cities and their FUAs.

The highest growth among cities was recorded in

Banská Bystrica (by 25.2 %), Nitra (by 23.8 %) and

Trnava (by 23.6 %). The growth of this age group was

also in FUAs, mainly in Banská Bystrica district (by 25

%) and in the Bratislava region (by 21.8 %). The most

significant decrease of the population aged 20 - 24

years was in Banská Bystrica by 28.4 % and its district

by 25.3 %. The decrease by more than a quarter was

reached also in Trnava (by 27.1 %) and Bratislava (by

26.9 %). Among FUAs, the decrease was also signifi-

cant in Trenčín district (by 23.3 %). In Bratislava and

Bratislavský kraj, the number of inhabitants grew the

most in the age 35 - 44 (since 2015, in the city by 9

881, in the region by 15 372 persons). The age group

created almost a fifth of the city's and region's popu-

lation (19 %). The child population up to 4 years also

had the highest share in the capital and its surroun-

dings, in the city accounting for 6.4 % and in the

region 6.6 %. At the same time, children up to 4 years

recorded the highest growth in five years, in the

capital by 8.4 % and in the Bratislava region by 11.1 %.

The share of seniors is growing in all cities and

their functional urban areas, most of young

people live in the east of the country, and num-

bers are declining

In 2019, Bratislava (19.3 %) and Žilina (19.2 %) were

considered to be relatively young cities with the

highest share of young people under 19 years. At the

same time, Bratislava and the whole Bratislavský kraj

recorded the fastest growth of this age group

compared to 2015 (equally by 1.7 pp). On the contrary,

the declining trend was seen in the east of Slovakia,

in Prešov and Košice the share decreased equally by

0.4 pp and in their functional urban areas equally by

0.2 pp. Nevertheless, functional urban areas of

Prešov and Košice had the highest share of young

people during the monitored period (23.4 % and 21.5 %

in 2019). The development of the share of seniors

aged 65 and more was very similar in regional cities

and their functional urban areas, it has been growing

steadily over five years. The most significant growth

of senior population was recorded in Banská Bystrica

(by 3.3 pp) and its district (by 3.1 pp).

The economic dependency of young and senior

people to productive population was the highest

in Bratislava and Trenčín

Age dependency ratio reached 59.8 % in Bratislava

and 59.5 % in Trenčín. Among functional urban

areas, Prešov district reached 60.5 % and Bratislav-

ský kraj 59.9 %.

Trenčín and Banská Bystrica and their functio-

nal urban areas reached the highest median age

At the beginning of 2019, the median age in Tren-

čín reached 43.2 years and in Banská Bystrica 43.1

years. Both cities reached the highest values also

in 2015. During this period, the most significant

growth of median age by 1.8 years was in four

cities (Nitra, Banská Bystrica, Prešov and Košice),

the slowest one was in Bratislava (by 0.8 years). In

FUAs, the median age with the fastest growth (by

1.9 years) was the highest in Banská Bystrica

district (43 years). The slowest growth was recor-

ded, as well as in the capital, in Bratislavský kraj

(by 0.9 years).

Foreigners increased in all regional cities and FUAs

From 2015 to 2019, the share of the population

with foreign citizenship grew in all regional cities

and their functional urban areas. The highest

growth of foreigners by 0.7 pp was in Nitra, among

functional urban areas in Bratislavský kraj and

Nitra district equally by 0.5 pp. The slowest

growth was in Trenčín and Banská Bystrica. The

most foreigners from EU countries lived in Nitra

(2.8 %).

In 2019, Bratislava had the highest share of

foreign-born population (5.8 %). However, the

fastest growth since 2015 was monitored in Košice

(by 0.8 pp), the slowest in Trenčín and its district

(equally by 0.1 pp).
