PROJECT ANNOTATION:

Peripherals, determined by the marginal position compared to the cores of settlement, are usually characterized by population decline, insufficient infrastructure and low economic performance. Territories adjacent to the border of the regional (internal dimension) or state (external dimension) of the Czech Republic thus require special attention of local self-government (regions) and state administration, while this issue seems to be most accentuated through EU cross-border cooperation programs. The project therefore focuses on the definition of both types of peripherals, the analysis of the socio-economic situation incl. approach of individual regions to the closure of regional development.
