Město Nový Jičín

What Město Nový Jičín does

Město Nový Jičín (Town of Nový Jičín) is a self-governing municipality in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic, serving approximately 23,000 residents across the main urban area and five local parts (Žilina, Bludovice, Loučka, Straník, Kojetín). It also functions as an ORP (municipality with extended competence), acting as the administrative center for roughly 14 surrounding municipalities. The city delivers the full range of statutory public services: housing and property management, social services, education oversight (four municipal kindergartens across eleven buildings), waste management, road maintenance, cultural programming, tourism, environmental monitoring, and civil/administrative services. It also operates a network of six contributory organizations covering technical services, senior care, tourism/visitor services, municipal police, cultural programming, and the public library.

The city's technology platform is built around a Smart City infrastructure: a citizen portal (portal.novyjicin.cz), a mobile application (Nový Jičín v mobilu), the Munipolis mass notification system, an open data portal, GIS map services, air quality monitoring integrated with Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ) data, digital official notice boards, and specialized portals for events (akce.novyjicin.cz), participatory budgeting (Projekty pro Nový Jičín), healthy city initiatives (Zdravé město), and family/senior/eco/job services. The city council approved the Smart City Concept 2025 in April 2026 to formalize this digitalization direction.

Funding is derived entirely from public sources: municipal taxes and national tax allocations, property and rental income from municipal apartments and commercial spaces, administrative fees, local charges (waste management, dog licenses), and grant/subsidy distribution programs (over 35 million CZK allocated across sports, social services, culture, leisure, and heritage in 2027, a 2 million CZK year-over-year increase). The city has received recurring regional recognition in the Ministry of the Interior's Přívětivý úřad (Friendly Office) competition, placing 3rd in the Moravian-Silesian Region in 2026, 2nd in 2021, and 3rd in 2019, and was featured in the Ministry's 2026 Good Practice Examples publication.
