Human and social capital in the inner peripheries of Czechia: example of microregions of the Central Bohemian Region
Abstract
The author makes an attempt to assess the developmental potential of the inner peripheries in Czechia. Attention is given to the quality of human and social capital as integral parts of developmental potential.
The first part of the paper focuses on the discussion of selected theoretical and methodological issues surrounding the peripheral areas as well as developmental potential of the human and social capital. The following part describes the employed methods and delimitation of the model areas.
In the third section, the developmental potential of three microregions that represent an area of inner periphery of the Central Bohemian Region is evaluated by presentation of selected results of an extensive empirical study carried out in typologically different peripheral microregions of Czechia.
