Focusing on municipalities with fewer than 2000 residents, this chapter investigates local responses to the COVID-19 crisis in Czechia. Based on interviews with mayors, it highlights challenges related to unclear guidance, limited state support, and coordination deficits. Despite this, small municipalities demonstrated adaptability, strong community engagement, and informal support networks. Topics include education, citizen communication, and community cohesion. The study reveals that while systemic weaknesses persisted, local leadership and proximity enabled flexible, context-sensitive responses, offering valuable insights into the crisis resilience of small-scale governance structures.

摘要

Focusing on municipalities with fewer than 2000 residents, this chapter investigates local responses to the COVID-19 crisis in Czechia. Based on interviews with mayors, it highlights challenges related to unclear guidance, limited state support, and coordination deficits. Despite this, small municipalities demonstrated adaptability, strong community engagement, and informal support networks. Topics include education, citizen communication, and community cohesion. The study reveals that while systemic weaknesses persisted, local leadership and proximity enabled flexible, context-sensitive responses, offering valuable insights into the crisis resilience of small-scale governance structures.
