The survey focused on contemporary housing conditions of the Czech population, the role of intergenerational transfers in the housing field, the financial literacy, the attitudes towards owner-occupied versus rental housing, the purpose of social networks in the housing field, the opinions on “ideal” housing, the role of the government in the housing field, the satisfaction with housing etc. The standardised interviews with 3,003 adult respondents were carried out in September and October 2013. The survey was designed as a quota survey, representative for the Czech population. The quotas included gender, age, education, size of the municipality, region and tenure. The data collection was provided by the STEM/MARK agency. The survey was fully supported by the Czech Science Foundation (grant no. P404/12/1446).
