DEVELOPMENT OF SUBURBANIZATION IN RELATION TO DISTANCE FROM A MAJOR CITY. CASE: NORTH-EAST FRINGE OF BRNO, MORAVIA

Abstract

The paper poses the question of how suburbanization levels change in relation to the distance from a major city. The north-eastern surroundings of Brno were chosen as a case study area. Indicators like demographic development, unemployment, occupation in individual economic areas, and level of formal education were taken into account. The results show that differences in values of the indicators mentioned can be observed. Migration balance and construction of new flats are the most expressive indicators. Employment in productive and post-productive sectors and the level of education are also important, with unemployment playing no role. However, the results should be verified in other territories and stages of the post-productive transformation.
