  • Description: The article introduces selected foreign communities that since the 1990s have become a part of the urban space of Czech towns & cities. It familiarizes the reader with research into the Ukrainian, Slovak, Georgian, Chinese, & Vietnamese communities & argues that each of these communities has elected a slightly different strategy for adapting to the urban environment. The particular strategies that have been chosen range from that of the labor-migration model to multicultural & assimilative strategies. The labor-migration strategy dominates among the Ukrainian communities, while the assimilative strategy is most prominent among the Slovak communities. The other groups to a greater or lesser degree tend to create a multicultural environment. The article includes data on the number of members in each of the specific enclaves, on where the members reside & their economic activities, & to a limited extent also on their family & social life. 1 Table, 49 References.
