The micro-regional nature of functional urban areas (FUAs): lessons from the analysis of the Czech urban and regional system

Abstract: correspondiente a el Área Metropolitana. La aproximación metodológica se lleva a cabo en dos vías, por un lado, se lleva a cabo un análisis espacial a través de la identificación de agrupamientos o cluster y puntos calientes por medio de tres indicadores: la medida de pobreza multidimensional, el índice de desempeño fiscal y la medición del desempeño integral municipal; este resultado se intersecta con la ubicación de las AUF y se analizan los entornos favorables o desfavorables de cada indicador como aproxima… Show more

“…Karlsson and Olsson (2006) see a functional region as an area with a high frequency of socio-economic interactions which occur within the region. Similarly, Sýkora and Mulíček (2009) see a functional region as an area which contains the integrated socio-economic activities of the population. In the geographical literature, several specific types of functional regions can be observed, based on specific characteristics, particularly regarding the type and pattern of region-organising interaction.…”

“…The term was inspired by the theories and work of spatial economists (von Thünen, 1826;Christaller, 1933;Lösch, 1940;Isard, 1956). Since then the concept of a functional region has gone through many adjustments (Sýkora and Mulíček, 2009). The primary characteristics of a functional region are its size and its self-containment in relation to its surroundings (Coombes et al, 1986;CasadoDíaz, 2000;Klapka et al, 2013a).…”

“…In these cases, it is possible to say that not only commuting but also transport relations are strongly closed within these regions. The above-mentioned issue of the reduced size of the Prague metropolitan hinterland due to the application of the criterion of centre distance, shows principally in the Benešov region, which is in terms of transport a very strongly integrated part of the Prague transport hinterland and also includes strong commuting relations -commuting to work and school (for instance Sýkora, Mulíček, 2009). The strong transport integration with Prague can be similarly seen in the Rakovník, Poděbrady and Dobříš areas, which make up an undeniable transport hinterland of Prague, promoted by good connection to a quality road network providing its advantageous transport accessibility.…”

“…Berry 1973; for information on the Czech and Slovak environment, see e.g. Bezák 2000, Hampl 2005, or Sýkora, Mulíček 2009). on a number of occasions, nodal commuting regions are deemed to be complex socio-geographic regions that are formed on the basis of interactions between a regional centre and its hinterland, and are integrated by means of this key region-making process (Hampl et al 1987).…”
