Historical aspects of migration in Czechia

Publication

Abstract

Migration (movement of people, change of the permanent residence) is of central interest in geographical analyses. This is due to the relatively synthetic nature of migration processes, which reflect residential preferences of the population and the attractiveness (quality) of target and source locations.

The number of studies published is also influenced by the rather high-quality data basis for migration evidence. The purpose of this map sheet is to cover the main (turning) points in migration during the whole period of existence of Czechoslovakia (Czech Republic) from 1921 to the present.

Four periods were chosen and implemented in the maps, describing the different development trends in migration balance in Czech districts.
