The field data, come from an investigation initiated by the non-governmental, not-for-profit institution, “Open City” and which the Institute of Ethnology, contributed to the discussions and analyses. The data were collected by the Institute of Ethnology in 2013, 2014 with the intention of identifying the ways city dwellers utilize as well as speak about public spaces. The aim of this chapter is to briefly summarize the discourse about public spaces by Prague’s inhabitants and to explain the basic motives behind their reasoning.
