In order to make an interactive application will be used CEZET Map to create an interactive map of the Czech Republic and Highcharts JS to create an interactive charts which makes the statistics more understandable in the eyes of any user without the need to have knowledge in statistics because users has the options to interact with the Charts to focus on the statistic they are interested in.Furthermore concepts about open data and how it can be useful in different areas will be explained with examples of applications using open data. In this digital age open data is very likely to increase with the rise of the Internet, because it stands for the changing relation between citizens and government. In these days many citizens no longer accept the passive stance representative democracy held for them. Open Government is to be seen in the context of citizens rights: the right to actively participate in the process of agenda-setting and decision-making.
