Vývojové pravidelnosti a specifika geografické diferenciace obyvatelstva a jeho struktury na úrovni obcí v Česku v transformačním období
Abstrakt
Besides analyzing geographical differentiation of the population for different types of phenomena (demographic, social, and economic) and its evolution, we study underlying processes (such as concentration/deconcentration, convergence/ divergence) and conditional factors and mechanisms. When studying geographical differentiation, we distinguish between simple regional differentiation measured by standard statistical measures, relative regional differentiation measured by Theil index decomposition, and spatial differentiation quantified by Moran's I.
The empirical results show that the geographical differentiation of the population in the transformation period and beyond has been steadily decreasing in a majority of studied variables. Variables with increasing geographical differentiation of the population are always connected with specific conditional factors and mechanisms.
Moreover, the geographical differentiation of the population has shifed to lower geographical levels.
