“…Lze mezi nimi ovšem pozorovat i rozdíly v kulturních charakteristikách, jako je míra tradicionalismu (Heřmanová, Chromý a kol. 2009), religiozity (Havlíček, Hupková 2008), případně regionální identity (Chromý, Janů 2003;Chromý, Kučerová, Kučera 2009;Siwek 1999). První jmenovaná diferenciace prostoru je vyjádřena komponentou "Velikost", druhá komponentou "Růst", přičemž obě uspořádání jsou v čase značně stabilní (Hampl, Gardavský, Kühnl 1987).…”

The objective of this article is the regional differentiation of rural space in Czechia, which is defined as the territory of rural municipalities of up to 3,000 inhabitants. The ultimate determination of particular types of rural space is realized at the level of authorized municipal authorities. Current socioeconomic characteristics of rural municipalities in Czechia are compiled and used for analysis. These characteristics were selected on the basis of their potential to represent important socioeconomic phenomena, processes and factors that are typical for the Czech countryside and that influence the development of rural municipalities. Four statistically significant components are identified through the statistical analysis of the indicated data at the level of authorized municipal authorities, namely: size, growth, human potential and housing. Different combinations of these components enable us to define eight main types of rural space, in terms of potential for development. This provides evidence to confirm our affirmation that rural space in Czechia is not homogenous. The results of the statistical analyses conducted also show that the basic differentiation of the Czech countryside is determined by the geographical location of particular areas.

“…Previous studies of Czechia's religious landscape (e.g. Daněk, Štěpánek 1992, Havlíček, Hupková 2008 have shown significant inequality in terms of the spatial distribution of believers.…”

“…Such a change can result in a desire to experiment, explore new ideas (Buddhism, Hinduism) as well as the possibility to choose freely. This trend regarding the strengthening of the position of new religious movements is reflected both in the diversification of the Czech religious scene as well as in the spatial distribution of religious communities and has resulted in changes in the religious landscape (Havlíček, Hupková 2008). The role of occult or esoteric expressions (belief in horoscopes, astrology, talismans, etc.)…”

The paper has attempted to generalize changes in the geographic distribution of religious heterogeneity or homogeneity in Czechia during the transformation period from 1991 to 2001. Areas with a higher degree of religious homogeneity exhibit smaller declines in the level of homogeneity when compared with regions with a higher level of religious heterogeneity, which also exhibit greater declines in homogeneity or greater increases in spatial religious heterogeneity. In this way, the regional differentiation of Czechia's religious landscape is becoming more pronounced.

This article explores regional differences in the social capital of peripheral areas in Czechia. Its objective is to make a general contribution to studies of social and human capital and to the clarification of the role of such capital in the polarisation of space. Specifically, the article builds on previous quantitative analyses of differences in human and social capital in Czechia by presenting analyses of selected results from an extensive empirical study, carried out in typologically different peripheral micro-regions in Czechia. Emphasis is given to an analysis of problems concerning residents’ level of participation in groups, according to a given region’s scale-level, residents’ trust in selected subjects (individuals, entities and institutions) and the overall satisfaction of residents with life in a given municipality. In terms of territorial differentiation, attention is focused on an analysis of differences in the quality of social capital in Czechia’s inner and external peripheries, in other words, in areas of continuous settlement and in border regions that were settled after the removal of the German speaking population.
