Settlement problems in the Czech borderland

Year, pages: 2008, 241 - 253

The paper deals with border regions of the Czech Republic. 110 micro-regions were delimited in the borderland. The urbanized part of the borderland was excluded. The following indicators were used for the analysis: the population development between the 1991 and 2001 census, age index, share of people with post-secondary education, ethnic structure, share of population employed in the primary sector, share of flats built after 1945, share of uninhabited flats, equipment with technical infrastructure and social services, unemployment rate. The qualifications of people was identified as the main problem of the Czech rural borderland. It is closely connected with the social infrastructure. Micro-regions with centres under 2,500 inhabitants are considered the most problematic.
