“…Based on the zonal model of cities, it can be assumed that in centralthe most attractive parts of cities brownfield regeneration will be directed towards support of small entrepreneurship and housing. This hypothesis is in line with contemporary reurbanization tendencies (Buzar et al, 2007or Kebza 2018.…”

Brownfields are undesirable urbanistic heritage and their occurrence is associated with a number of negative effects, which our society tries to minimize repeatedly, both successfully and unsuccessfully. Especially in the context of the multi-perspective concept of sustainable development, the issue of brownfields is accentuated with the intention to reuse abandoned areas that have lost their original use and regenerate them in a way that enriches not only individual stakeholders but generally the whole society. Although each brownfield is unique within its set of partial characteristics, it is possible to determine by means of mathematical-statistical methods the key patterns that are important for brownfields in terms of their overall nature. The identification of these common patterns across a selected set of brownfields is important for establishing of general recommendations for their potential regeneration. In our paper, we proceeded from the analysis of 460 non-regenerated brownfields located in the Czech Republic, and by means of correspondence analysis we determined which categories most influence the potential brownfield regeneration from the perspective of a two-dimensional (stage) approach. Information on brownfields was taken from the publicly available database of the state-funded company the CzechInvest for 2018 and supplemented by authors with other relevant variables. The analysis of the data revealed factors that may have a major impact in the initial phase of the decision on potential brownfield regeneration, and at the same time factors that do not seem to be substantial for regeneration. The applicability of the results of our analyses creates space for better-targeted brownfield regeneration policies, especially in the area of specifications for calls for brownfield regeneration projects, their financial support, implementation of process innovations, etc.

The integration of socioeconomically marginalized areas into regional systems in the context of post-communist transformation has been an important subject of social science research in general. The military training areas (MTA), as specifi c type of peripheries, have been so far little explored. Based on the results of an extensive questionnaire survey (N = 1,362), the authors of this study analyze local community perceptions of MTA in the Czech Republic, assess positive and negative impacts of MTA on the quality of life, and discuss possible future development scenarios of the areas. The results show that local communities in the hinterland of MTA perceive similar problems as those living in other peripheral and/ or rural areas, particularly unemployment, limited options of obtaining own housing, maintenance of road infrastructure, limited options of leisure activities, etc. Ensuring a harmony between local development and MTA activities is considered a specifi c issue. Problems are perceived more likely by older and highly educated people, and those living in smaller municipalities with higher unemployment and municipalities located closer to MTA. On the other hand, young and less educated people living in larger municipalities with higher unemployment rates, which are located at a greater distance from county seats, perceive more likely positive impacts of MTA.

Halás (2008), Pileček, Jančák (2011), Bernard, Šimon (2017), Šimon (2017), Kebza (2018). Věnovali se především vnějším periferiím (tedy periferním oblastem podél hranic Česka) a zhoršování vnitřních periferií (Havlíček a kol.…”

The aim of the paper is to delineate remote peripheral municipalities and compare the human and demographic capital of peripheral, semi-peripheral, and central municipalities of the study area. The paper applies the concept of hierarchized remoteness peripherality – peripheral municipalities are delineated on the basis of their considerable time distance from the central towns at the micro-, meso-, and macro-regional level. First, we define micro-regional central towns on the basis of population numbers, commuters, bus and train connections, and services. Consequently, peripheral and other municipalities were delineated. Then, we evaluated the human and demographic capital of peripheral and other municipalities, simultaneously, using 10 indicators. Generally, values of human and demographic capital are increasing towards central towns. Nevertheless, almost 40% of peripheral municipalities at the micro-regional level show favourable rates. There have been improvements in the capital values in some peripheral municipalities due to the immigration of counter-urbanites and entrepreneurs in tourism, the opening of the border with Bavaria, and the stabilization of local communities.
