The aim of the article is to describe the relations between institutions in the public, private and non-profit sectors that are considered the most important actors of negotiation and decision-making in local development. These institutions and the relations between them are defined as a social network. A study was carried out in the small Czech towns of Blatná, Český Krumlov and Velké Meziříčí, and data were collected in 2007 and 2008. The first part of the article describes the institutional actors, the collection of the relational data, and the context of the three towns that were studied. The analytical part consists of social network analysis. Basic quantitative characteristics are used to describe and compare the social networks of the institutional actors in the local development of the three towns. The conclusions indicate the unconditional significance of local public administration institutions and the significance of other local institutions; relations to extra-local institutions are rather weak. A section on methodology at the end of the article contains methodological notes on Hellinger divergence and SNA.

The study discusses history of the Jewish population and community in the town of Velké Meziříčí. It describes and analyses factors that influenced the destinies of the Jews living in the Moravian Margraviate, one of the lands of the Crown of Bohemia, in early modern times. This paper traces the development changes in the Jewish community in Velké Meziříčí starting from the time the first Jews settled in the town. Special attention is paid to basic features of the community, the ghetto and its functioning. The first mentions of Jews in Velké Meziříčí date back to 1518 represented by an entry in the Municipal Book. However, the arrival and first settlements of Jews in Velké Meziříčí were first described in a book of newly received citizens in 1611. The Jewish community in Velké Meziríčí did not display cultural attributes of a specific religious subculture or an autonomous community until mid‑17th century. The sharpest population growth occurred at the beginning of the 1650s, which is when the Jews from Velké Meziříčí formed a mid‑sized community and they were the second largest Jewish community in the territory known today as the Jihlava District after Třebíč. This is the reason why the historical part of this study focuses particularly on 17th–19th centuries, which is the period when the Jewish community flourished and it also merged with the town and together they formed an independent and unique political entity. This study aims to contribute to more profound understanding of a particular Jewish community in Moravia from cultural‑historical and anthropological perspective.
