Quality of life and regional disparity - economic aspect
CENKNEROVÁ, Andrea Maria
This bachelor thesis describes the understanding and definition of terms such as quality of life and regional disparity. The main aim of thesis is to analyse and evaluate the economic effects individual regions of the Czech Republic based on literature and mathematical formulae. The quality of life can be viewed from many perspectives - sociology, ecology, psychology and economics. All of them are explained, but especially the thesis is focused on the economic perspective. The selected method of analysis is an assessment of regional disparities in the quality of life from the viewpoint of regional economic indicators. The conclusion of analysis is the result of an economic comparison of the quality of life in the regions and proposed possible solutions for low economic diversity between regions.

Regional Development in Sweden after 1990
Klíma, David ; Tomeš, Jiří (advisor) ; Vogt, David (referee)
Purpose of this paper is to study if and how are changing regional pattern and regional disparities in last decades in Sweden, one of the most homogeneous country in the world. Globalization and intensified competitiveness which affect not only companies and economic sectors, but also states and regions contribute to a changing pattern. Even a traditionally homogeneous and egalitarian Sweden is changing. Paper examines regional development in Sweden by social-economic indicators and basic statistic and indicates wider connection of this development. Basic hypothesis is that crisis and intensified competitiveness contribute to a deepening of regional disparities. In last twenty years regional disparities are growing indeed and they are probably related to a recession, but dominant factors cannot be pointed out with certainty. Increase of regional variability is related to just some social and economic aspect. In many aspects Sweden remains the most homogenous country in Europe. The paper is focused on county level. Key words: regional development, regional disparities, Sweden, globalization, crisis

The changing Sweden's regional pattern and its context
Klíma, David ; Tomeš, Jiří (advisor) ; Anděl, Jiří (referee)
Regional disparities and spatial inequality are typical topics studied by geography. Sweden is one of the most homogeneous and egalitarian countries in the world. Simultaneously, it is characteristic for its very low regional disparities and thus it is an important and interesting subject for studying. The main goal of this thesis is to examine changes in a regional pattern from the beginning of the 1990s and to analyse an impact of structural changes (deindustrialization and tertiarization) and globalization (through activities of transnational corporations) on regional disparities. In the thesis socioeconomic and demographic indicators and quantitative statistics are used to analyse a development of regional disparities in Sweden and to examine a broader context of this development. The main finding of the thesis is a disproportional growth of metropolitan regions (mainly Stockholm). Share of metropolitan regions on population and socioeconomic activities is increasing and it is characterized by dynamic development which is intensified by high specialisation, major valued-adding activities, knowledge-based economy and localisation of transnational corporations. Regional variability is slowly increasing and disproportional growth of metropolitan regions contributes to this development. Thus the...

Analysis of regional policy of the EU with focus on achieved outcomes
Šimková, Veronika ; Petříček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kučerová, Irah (referee)
The European Union aims to reduce interregional disparities through its regional policy. This thesis deals with the effectiveness of EU regional policy and trends of regional disparities according to selected indicators. In the case study the impact of EU regional policy is observed in Ireland, the Czech republic and Bulgaria. Regional disparities are examined at NUTS 2 level. The Williamson curve is tested to explore the association between the level of economic development and level of disparities. In the comparative study the values of indicators are compared to the EU average. In the end, the thesis is focused on evaluation of EU regional policy efectiveness and seven recommendations are proposed to contribute to the improvement of EU regional policy so that goals of Europe 2020 Strategy are achieved.

Územní polarita socioekonomické diferenciace Španělska
RAUSCHER, Tomáš
This bachelor thesis deals with the territorial polarity of the socioeconomic differentiation of Spain, which is observed based on indicators divided into three groups: economic, social and political-cultural. The main goal of the thesis is to carry out the synthesis of the socioeconomic polarity by creating two poles of different development level, the core and the semi-periphery. The description of the disparities' main determinants and the specifics of the Spanish space's polarization are included in the synthesis. In the analytical part, the thesis is complemented with the map outputs of individual indicators, while the final synthesis' maps portray the said territorial polarity dividing Spain into the developed and the lagging part.

Comparison of the Czech and Slovak labor market between 1993 and 2016
Stankovič, František ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (advisor) ; Prudká, Šárka (referee)
The labor market has overtaken huge changes in the Czech republic and Slovakia in the last quarter of a century. This diploma theses explains that the structure of the labor market is a dynamic concept that reacts not only to local economic factors, but also to changes in the European and world context. Czech and Slovak labor market has currently different regional disparities. In Slovakia, the problem of regional disparities and the significant polarization of the east and west of the country is much more urgent and significantly affects not only overall unemployment in the Slovak Republic but also the political and economic situation. This diploma thesis analyzes the origins of regional disparities and major changes in the labor market that have taken place in both countries since 1993 until present, and defines that the main cause is mono-industrialization in the second half of the 20th century.
