The main objective of this thesis is to evaluate the application possibilities of selected tools for the local economic development's analysis, to verify the effectiveness of local multiplier LM 3 methodology and to discuss the possibilities of its practical use. The theoretical part consists of two key topics -- theory of local economic development and theory and practice of multiplier. The term "local economic development" is being discussed as well as its embeddedness in the conceptual activities in the Czech Republic. Selected regional multiplier models that are used in the Czech Republic and abroad, are introduced. Main focus is paid to the method of local multiplier. This indicator of local economies' power is verified within field research in two case studies. Then, it is critically evaluated and in the conclusion part its possibilities for broader use in strategic regional planning and community lives are discussed. The contribution of this thesis can be found at both the methodological and practical level. |
