Sustainable development indicators of european regions at the NUTS 2 level
HOŘČICA, Antonín
This work is focused on indicators of sustainable development in European regions at the level NUTS 2. The historical context of the concept of sustainable development and its current application are described. This information serves as a starting point for eval-uating the fulfilment of the concept's objectives using sustainability indicators. The fol-lowing is an overview of the requirements for these indicators and their definition in re-lation to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a key indicator of economic perfor-mance. The main sustainability indicators used at the global and regional levels are de-scribed, and the organizations that publish the indicators are listed. The Regional Human Development Index (RHDI) indicator was chosen for the practical part of this work. The aim of the work was to check its applicability in regions at the level at the NUTS 2 in comparison with the indicator of GDP per capita and to find out whether there is a re-lationship between them. The main result of the work is that the direct relationship be-tween GDP per capita and RHDI has not been confirmed. Partial results are the finding of interregional differences between the two indicators and the fact that a higher value of GDP per capita does not necessarily mean a better RHDI result. The RHDI indicator can be considered as a very good tool for monitoring progress in the sustainability of re-gions at the level NUTS 2 and that it can be used to compare EU regions. Therefore, it should serve at least as a complementary indicator to GDP per capita, possibly in con-junction with other sustainability indicators, such as the Genuine Progress Index (GPI) and / or the Sustainable Development Goals Index (SDG Index). Further developments in the field of sustainability indicators are necessary in view of the need to assess future European Green New Deal sustainable development plans.
Influence of educational structure of inhabitants on regional development in the Czech Republic and the Netherlands
Lašáková, Kristýna ; Kouřilová, Jana (advisor) ; Krejčová, Nikola (referee)
In my master thesis the issue of regional development of the Czech Republic and the Netherlands in relation to the educational structure of their inhabitants has been dealt. The main aim of the paper was determined whether the highest level of education of the economically active population of both countries affects their regional development. I decided to compare the Czech Republic with the Netherlands because both countries are small open economies dependent on export to Germany, members of the European Union. However the Netherlands belongs among the richest countries in the world, has a high standard of living of the population and is characterised for a quality of education system. The relation between regional development and educational structure of inhabitants in the Czech Republic and the Netherlands was examined using the regression linear model. The cohesion regions were chosen as the basic units of comparative analysis in both countries. The regional development were defined according to 5th Cohesion report by 5 macroeconomic indicators. In compliance with output of regression analysis the relation between educational structure of economically active population and macroeconomic indicators, which represented regional development was not entirelly proved.
