Komparativní analýza suburbanizačních procesů ve vybraných obcích mikroregionů Strakonicka a Písecka v druhé dekádě nového milénia

The bachelor’s thesis focuses on suburbanization, particularly through a comparative analysis of suburbanization processes in selected municipalities within two microregions of Strakonice and Písek in the second decade of the new millennium. The aim of the thesis is to identify whether suburbanization processes occurred in the selected municipalities within the two microregions of Strakonice and Písek during the period of 2009-2019, to compare the intensity of these processes, and to evaluate whether the distance from the core city influences the intensity of suburbanization. The first part of the thesis defines the term suburbanization and its basic classification. Possible theoretical approaches, problems of suburbanization, some related terms, and some existing mechanisms for evaluating suburbanization are also introduced. The theoretical part also addresses the history of suburbanization processes in Europe and the Czech lands from the 19th century to the present. In the analyticall part, the methodology used in the research is presented, and both examined microregions are characterized. Furthermore, the author devotes this part to the comparative analysis of suburbanization processes in selected municipalities within the two microregions of Strakonice and Písek in the second decade of the new millennium. This analysis is conducted based on comparing analytical data collected by the Czech Statistical Office for territorial analytical purposes. Some data are further empirically verified through interviews with representatives of the municipalities.
