Abstract The aim of our study was to define problem characteristics of Czech rural areas and to compare significant regional differences. The structure and interconnectedness of these differences and their importance for future regional development were assessed. There are 5,612 villages in the Czech Republic. The rural population represented 26.3% of the total population in 2004. The impact of negative factors (rapid decrease of job opportunities, level of public transportation and others) affects mainly villages with less than 2,000 inhabitants. Despite some differences between the rural areas, the initial hypothesis about significant differentiations related to village location, size, distance from civic centers and others was not proved. General differentiation criteria could not be established.
AbstractList The aim of our study was to define problem characteristics of Czech rural areas and to compare significant regional differences. The structure and interconnectedness of these differences and their importance for future regional development were assessed. There are 5,612 villages in the Czech Republic. The rural population represented 26.3% of the total population in 2004. The impact of negative factors (rapid decrease of job opportunities, level of public transportation and others) affects mainly villages with less than 2,000 inhabitants. Despite some differences between the rural areas, the initial hypothesis about significant differentiations related to village location, size, distance from civic centers and others was not proved. General differentiation criteria could not be established.
Rural villages are the sole subjects in rural area which integrate all elements acting in the rural area to one functional whole. They can be therefore taken as the pivotal element of rural development. The research was done in 2004 and was based on the search for rural villages’ characteristics and exploration of the elements of regional differentiation. The project results from the presumption of difference between the rural villages given by their size, location in specific areas or on exposed roads, distance from civic centers etc. It is supposed that these characteristics have specific and significant connections with such phenomenon as the level of unemployment, the level of civic and technical facilities in villages, the activity of inhabitants and the village itself, etc. The challenge was to define problem characteristics of rural areas, which mirror significant regional differences, structure and interconnectedness of these differences and their importance for future regional development. Interdependence of particular indicators was explored by statistical evaluation.
