Abstract

Socio-economic transformation in many post-communist states has influenced the dynamic process in such states with the differentiation trends. Such process often causes disparities in different regions, creates relations and ties, often contradictory, and spatial socio-economic polarization in the regions. The above-mentioned processes and their impacts are demonstrated on the example of the South Bohemian region, in particular the LAG territory. Using the methods of correlation analysis, the author demonstrates the conditionality of the indicators in the area of interest. Different links and relations of socio-economic, infrastructural and natural factors to the emergence of disparities in different LAGs are analyzed. The most important factors of the emerging disparities within the region and the LAGs include the relations between the progressiveness of the economic structure and population density and between the demographic structure of the region and the infrastructure, as revealed by the analysis.

Highlights

  • In connection with the changes in the theory of regional sciences [1], regional studies and the related issues of rural areas have developed significantly in recent [2]

  • Leimgruber [8] explains the relations and links that affect the differentiation of the territory, arguing that peripheral areas should be assessed from an economic perspective, social, political, cultural and environmental aspects and their impact on these peripheral regions should be taken into account

  • The results proved the dependence in the LAG Landscape of the Heart, the LAG Střední Povltaví and the LAG Blatensko and in the peripheral region of the LAG Czech Canada, administratively adjacent to the Vysočina region

Summary

Introduction

In connection with the changes in the theory of regional sciences [1], regional studies and the related issues of rural areas have developed significantly in recent [2]. Efforts to deal with regional disparities followed, especially within the theory of the core-periphery of Myrdal [4], Perroux [5], quoted in Havlíček et al [6] and in particular Friedmann [7] and his theory of polarized development. It was Friedmann who introduced the term of core-periphery. Leimgruber [8] explains the relations and links that affect the differentiation of the territory, arguing that peripheral areas should be assessed from an economic perspective, social, political, cultural and environmental aspects and their impact on these peripheral regions should be taken into account
