This serves as the background for better understanding of linkage between different regions, definition of territorial units, and means how regions are developed. In the next part of this thesis are mentioned basic indicators for the whole Czech republic, including trend in prices of properties, which is important for assessment of living possibilities. This is the background for evaluation of chosen locations against Czech Republic. In the next chapter is analysis focused on chosen locations, based on data of whole Czech Republic as well as data focused only on these two locations and its surroundings. The conclusion is that Prague has special position in Czech Republic. There are broad working opportunities, high incomes, but also high living expense. Brno is not as high as Prague in evaluated indicators, but in comparison of whole Czech Republic is still on the top. It is necessary to take into account higher living expenses in both Prague and Brno but on the other hand compared to other regions, offered possibilities and services are on high level.

Failed Municipalities in the Czech Republic
Hornek, Jakub ; Jüptner, Petr (advisor)
The presented dissertation thesis deals with endangered municipalities, where a specific threat to the municipality can potentially lead to the extinction of self-government. The phenomenon of endangered municipalities has not been comprehensively investigated within the framework of political science even though it is part of the issue of the functioning of the democratic process at the local level. Research on endangered municipalities has been fragmented across individual scientific disciplines, which view the problem through their own prism. The dissertation thesis seeks to contribute to the opening of a necessary discussion that should not remain aloof from political science. The thesis first examines the European context, which is crucial for the actual identification of different types of threats to municipalities. Five types of threats to the European municipalities have been identified. Individual types of threats have been described and possible threat scenarios created. Empirical examples have also been provided for each threat, based on which terminology has been proposed that can be used in political science to examine municipalities in trouble. The terminology has been used to systematize possible variants of municipal threats, and individual threats have been assigned to the...

Spatial Pattern of Subsidies from the Structural Funds: The Case of Czech Municipalities
Pumprlová, Magda ; Šťastná, Lenka (advisor) ; Švarcová, Natálie (referee)
The thesis aims to uncover spatial patterns of subsidies from the European Union funds while focusing on the 2007-2013 programming period in the Czech Republic. We take into account demographic, economic and political charac- teristics of municipalities with the extended power to determine their relevance on the size of the obtained subsidy. Furthermore, subsidies may be clustered in the space due to some common regional characteristics that cannot be easily measured, or due to cooperation/competitiveness of the municipalities. Our results from the models estimated by the Ordinary Least Squares sug- gest that municipality's population, the number of businesses, the debt of pre- vious periods, and the mayor's affiliation to the political party are significant in explaining the size of the subsidy. Based on following tests, Moran's I and Lagrange Multiplier test, we incorporate the spatial models estimated by the Maximum Likelihood Estimator. We find that the subsidies managed by the regional council disperse across the given region, indicating a hidden common characteristic or regional council's endogenous interventions.

Humhalová, Barbora ; Boháč, Radim (advisor) ; Marková, Hana (referee)
Different countries are at varying degrees centralized and need for their activity especially financial and personnel resources in conjunction with the well-defined management processes. In general, both at central and decentralized levels are managed entrusted funds. Therefore it is need in the public sector to set the functioning internal and external control mechanisms. In the Czech Republic, oversees the management of state property and the state budget independent (external) body - the Supreme Audit Office (SAO). This institution has no power of control over the management of local governments or public entities. The issue of extension of SAO competencies is currently highly debated. This work is focused on the possible extension of the SAO competencies towards local government. Author compares and evaluates current opinions about possible amendments to the Constitution and the Law on the Supreme Audit Office towards control of local governments. Fears of the representatives of local government mainly concern the possible limitations of the constitutionally given right to self-government. SAO has no competency to impose remedies or somehow punish controlled entity. The SAO should ideally lead to the responsible management of entrusted funds in public sector. And not just in terms of legality,...
