DECLARATION
Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Socialist Republic
of 18 June 1970
on determining the names of municipalities and their parts, streets and other public spaces and the numbering of buildings
The Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Socialist Republic, in agreement with the participating central authorities, provides in accordance with § 6 paragraph 2 of the Slovak National Council Act No. 71 / 1969 Coll., on the territorial breakdown of the Slovak Socialist Republic:
Identifying the names of municipalities and parts thereof
Each municipality and its part (settlement, town, etc.) has its name, which is listed in the list of municipalities forming individual districts of the Slovak Socialist Republic.
The names of the municipalities and parts thereof are not changed substantially. The names of municipalities or parts thereof may be changed only exceptionally, if they change in the territory of the municipality or in other specially justified cases.
(1) The names of the new municipalities and their parts are usually determined by local territorial names, by the names of more significant natural bodies, phenomena or historical events related to the territory of the municipality.
(2) A municipality formed by a merger is usually called one of the merged municipalities. Exceptionally, a compound name for such a municipality may also be identified if its use is not cumbersome.
(3) A village which is formed from several settlements is usually called one of them.
(4) The names shall not be artificially created, non-stick, too long and duplicate.
(1) It is for the Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Socialist Republic (hereinafter referred to as "the Ministry") to determine and amend the names of the municipalities and their parts.
(2) The documentation for the decision referred to in paragraph 1 shall be submitted to the Ministry by the competent district national committee in cooperation with the local (urban) local committees involved.
(3) Where the name of the municipality or part thereof is to be determined or amended in the context of the intended change in the territory of the municipality, the effectiveness of the decision on the name should coincide with that of the decision on territorial change.
The proposed names of the municipalities or parts thereof shall be assessed by the Technical Nomenclature Committee set up as Advisory Board at the Ministry from representatives of certain central bodies, scientific institutions and national committees. The opinion of this Commission is one of the grounds for deciding whether or not to change the name of the municipality or part thereof.
(1) The list of municipalities forming individual districts of the territory of the Slovak Socialist Republic is drawn up and published by the Ministry in the Central Journal of the Slovak Socialist Republic as a rule every five years.
(2) Changes to the names of municipalities or parts thereof are announced by the Ministry in the Central Journal of the Slovak Socialist Republic and announced in the Collection of Laws.
(1) The names of the municipalities and their parts included in the list of municipalities are generally binding. When drawing up the indicative and transport tables, marking the seats of the authorities, offices and organisations, the labelling of railway stations, *) telecommunications equipment, airports and ports, the creation of transport and telecommunications lexicons, cartographic works, statistical surveys, the indication of the names of municipalities and their parts in the press, etc., must be used for the names of municipalities and their parts as indicated in the list of municipalities.
(2) Name-holders are obliged to use the name of the municipality in whose territory the public building, buildings and facilities are located when marking public buildings, buildings and installations. Exceptionally, the name of another municipality may also be used if the relevant local (urban) national committees so agree; in the event of their disagreement, the district national committee shall decide. To denote the location of public buildings, buildings and facilities, the name of the part of the municipality may be indicated with the name of the municipality.
Determining street names and other public areas
In municipalities where there are more streets and other public areas (squares, waterfront, orchards, bridges, etc.) and where the need for orientation requires, each street and public area has its name, to which it must be publicly indicated in appropriate places.
(1) Street names and other public spaces are determined by significant events, places, persons (non-living) and by things, phenomena etc. Names are to be socially justified, appropriate, easy to pronounce and correct from a linguistic point of view.
(2) Names identified by the names of the relevant persons can only be identified by such streets and other public spaces, which are suitable for such names by location, exhibition and overall appearance.
(3) The name of the street or other public area can also be derived from the basic language (from the Czech, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Polish, German, etc.), but it must comply with the Slovak language rules.
(1) The local (urban) national committee shall decide on the identification and changes of street names and other public areas, following the previous observations of the expert nomenclature committee established by the Council of the District National Committee for the entire district. Members of this Commission are professionals, in particular from the sectors of education, culture, construction, geodesy and transport.
(2) Project organisations are obliged to request the local (urban) national committee to determine the name of these streets and public areas when starting work on project preparation for the construction of new streets and other public areas.
(1) The street and other public areas are designated by name and, where appropriate, by indicative signs indicating the direction of the street, underpasses, crossings, etc.
(2) Owners and users of real estate are obliged to allow the attachment of table *) with street or other public spaces on buildings and other objects. Destruction, damage or arbitrary removal of tables is prosecuted by law. * *)
(5) The street and other public areas are designated by the local (urban) national committee at its own expense.
Building numbering
Descriptive, indicative and registration numbers
(1) All buildings of a permanent nature (residential, operational, commercial, cultural, educational, social, health, historical, etc.) must have a descriptive number.
(2) The descriptive number shall be marked with each separate building, which is separated from another, having its own entrance and equipment. In doubt whether a building is a separate building, the position of the building office is decisive. If these are grouped buildings which serve other than residential purposes, the descriptive number shall be indicated only by the building whose main entrance results in a street or other public area.
(3) Part of the municipality (§ 1) may have separate descriptive numbering of buildings.
(1) For street orientation and other public areas marked with names (§ 8), all buildings have an indicative number. The indication of the indicative number shall be carried out in accordance with the principles set out in Section 12 (2) of this Decree, with numbering on each street and other public space being separate. Buildings may be marked with even and odd indicative numbers on one side of the street or other public spaces.
(2) If the municipality has an approved stop plan, the indicative numbers should be reserved, with the appropriate order being maintained, for unbuilt parcels.
(1) Other buildings and objects which are firmly attached to the ground and which serve only for temporary accommodation (garden houses, cottages, etc.) or for other purposes (kiosks, garages, etc.) and which do not bear a descriptive number must have a registration number.
(2) Parts of the municipality (§ 1) may have separate registration numbers for buildings and buildings.
(1) The local (urban) national committee decides on the numbering of buildings and buildings. The Council of the District National Committee may, in exceptional cases, order mass renumbering of buildings and buildings in the municipality or part thereof. The Ministry may order mass renumbering of buildings and buildings throughout the territory of the Slovak Socialist Republic or part thereof.
(2) The local (urban) national committee is required to keep a prescribed uniform register of the different types of numbering of buildings and buildings and to continuously complement it in accordance with the actual situation. The proceeds of the single registration shall be issued by the Ministry in agreement with the central administrative authorities involved.
(3) The condition for determining the building or building number (descriptive, indicative, recording) is the decision to put the building into permanent use or operation. A decision to demolish a building or an object is required.
(4) The identification or cancellation of the building or object number shall be notified to the appropriate geodesy and cartography centre.
(1) Uniform tables of durable material are used to identify buildings and objects by numbers:
(a) a table of descriptive numbers with dimensions of 25X20 cm, white background, black frame and black Arabic numerals of 10 cm high. Parts of the municipality with separate descriptive numbering (§ 12 (3)) shall be marked on the table in front of the descriptive number of the red Roman numerals of 10 cm high; in this case it is possible to use tables with dimensions 30X20 cm,
(b) a table of indicative numbers with dimensions of 25X20 cm, white background, red frame and red Arabic numerals of 10 cm high,
(c) a table of the registration number with dimensions 20X15 cm, blue background, white frame and white Arabic numerals 7 cm high; parts of the municipality with separate registration numbers (§ 14 (2)) shall be marked on the table in a fraction of the same figures.
(2) Tables with descriptive and indicative numbers are placed at the entrance to the building in such a way as to be visible from public communications.
(3) The costs of procuring tables, attaching them to buildings and buildings and maintaining them properly are borne by owners (users) of buildings and buildings.
(4) The models of the uniform tables are set out in the Annex to this Decree.
Final provisions
The designation of buildings and buildings by single tables of numbers pursuant to Section 16 of this Decree shall be introduced in connection with the new construction and gradually during the next mass renumbering of buildings and buildings. Until then, the label remains in accordance with the existing regulations.
They shall be deleted:
(a) Decree of the Central Office of National Committees No. 97 / 1961 Coll., on the names of municipalities, street marking and house numbering,
(b) the guidelines of the Central Office for National Committees on Act No. 36 / 1960 Coll., on the Territorial Classification of the State, and Decree No. 97 / 1961 Coll., on Municipality Names, Street Labelling and Home Numbering (Order No. 33 / 1961 Collection of Directives for National Committees).
