Abstract
Low carbon and greener Europe priority has also been a great challenge for heating of households. In Slovakia, the recent results of the 2021 Housing Census showed e.g., that up to 66.22% of households are heated with gas, up to 21.32% with solid fuel and 4.48% with electricity. Various subsidy mechanisms were introduced by government to support the transition towards low-emission energy sources used for heating. Among others, a web application “Heating in households a little differently” was developed in order to make the people in Slovakia more aware of air pollution from domestic heating as well as to show the ways how to improve the quality of air. This paper presents the regional data (for 79 Slovak districts) to show the huge regional differences concerning the heating (solid fuel, gas), but also analyses other regionally unevenly distributed variables with potential impact on the source used for heating. Instruments of exploratory spatial data analysis and spatial econometrics were used for analysis. The results showed that both the spatial autocorrelation and spatial instability were strongly confirmed in case of Slovak districts.
