In the past few years, several research projects focused on the barriers of inter-municipal cooperation were carried out in the Czech Republic and abroad. As the research results reflect the respective local and regional specifics, the results and conclusions are diametrically different, depending on particular conditions in the respective country. The main objective of the paper is to analyse the uneven socio-economic development of the municipalities in the South Bohemian Region, as an example of the development of cooperation between the municipalities of the South Bohemian Region in relation to the economic background of municipalities. The hypothesis is that the economically stronger municipalities have better conditions for establishment and development of cooperation of municipalities. The theoretical part consists of research findings related to the problems of regional development and cooperation of municipalities. Furthermore, various methods are introduced, which are applied in the context of municipal analysis. The research of municipality cooperation was carried out by the author in 2007-2018. The results of the research confirmed the assumption of uneven development of the territory because economically weaker municipalities have really worse conditions for the establishment and development of cooperation between municipalities.

In recent years, several research projects on barriers to inter-municipal cooperation have been implemented in the Czech Republic and abroad. However, the research results reflect the respective local and regional specificities and the results and conclusions are therefore diametrically different depending on the specific conditions in the country. The main goal of the paper is to analyse uneven socio-economic development of the municipalities in the South Bohemian Region on the example of the development of cooperation among the municipalities of the South Bohemian Region in relation to the economic background of the municipalities. When assessing the budget-related aspects of the municipality, it is not possible to prefer and take into account only the revenue side, it is also necessary to emphasize the expenditure side. In our case, we use what is called the self-financing rate (the share of own revenues in the current expenditures of the municipality). There is a hypothesis that municipalities with a higher rate of self-financing tend to get less involved in cooperation of municipalities, i.e. the higher the rate of self-financing, the lower the level of cooperation of municipalities. Economically stronger municipalities have no reason/interest to unite their forces with other entities in order to solve problems of regional development. The theoretical part of the work deals with searching for knowledge related to the issue of regional development and cooperation of municipalities and introduces individual methods, which are then applied as part of the analysis of municipalities. The author researched cooperation of municipalities between 2007 and 2020. However, in spite of the results of the graphical analysis, the above-mentioned hypothesis was not confirmed.

The aim of this paper is to investigate socio-economic development drivers of NUTS 3 regions in the Czech Republic. The aim is fulfilled by examination of the relationship between one of the regional development factors – the companies’ size structure and the development of the region from both socio and economic views. We derive from the theory of diversification and prior empirical findings, and empirically test the role of companies’ size in regional development. We use a balanced dataset of 14 regions covering the years 2000 – 2016 that provides the information about regions’ socio-economic performance in terms of GDP and unemployment rate. We hypothesise that unemployment rate in the regions with higher share of small firms is less sensitive to the general trend of the whole economy. However, the higher share of small firms leads to improved regional GDP. Our findings confirm that small firms accelerate economic growth while playing a role of a social stabiliser in Czech regions. Our conclusions could help in designing the regional policy in the Czech Republic.

How to Gain Success in SME? A Case Study of a region in the Czech Republic.Small and medium sized entrepreneurship (SME) is often considered a contemporary phenomenon. Why have so many authors dedicated their work to this field? The main reason is that SME influences society and contributes to the economic development of its region. This analysis emphasizes endogenous factors for success. The situation in the Moravia-Silesian Region (the northeast region of the Czech Republic) in which we applied factor analysis on a research sample supported our hypothesis. Moreover, we used VRIO analysis to clearly interpret our research findings.

The northerly Bohemian district is presented in this article. Selected topics are examined in a more detailed way. The historical introduction portrays the region's socio-economic development with industrialisation and transport network as key factors. Both chronological and territorial approaches are used. Changing conditions in 1970, 198O, and in the beginning of 1990's are examined. The region is also studied in the framework of the Czech Republic. Internal differences are shown, mainly in the field of population, economic activity, settlement structure, housing, industry, transportation, tourism, and cross-border cooperation.

Populations of the freshwater snail Gyraulus rossmaessleri (Auerswald, 1852) (Gastropoda, Planorbidae) were found at 4 sites in the Meandry Smědé Nature Reserve (Northern Bohemia, Czech Republic). In Bohemia this species has not been found for last 25 years and the nearest localities with its known occurrence in the past are situated about 100 km to the south-west.

This article presents the practical possibilities associated with implementation of the JESSICA initiative in selected regions of Poland and the Czech Republic. i.e. in Silesia (Poland) and Central Moravia (Czech Republic). The post-socialist nature of these regions was determinative of their backwardness in terms of socio-economic development, as well as available infrastructure. Nonetheless these regions are different to a large extent, because Silesia is a typical post-industrial area, where the mining industry has been in operation for many years. After significant limitation of the scale of its economic operations, many areas and objects remain unused. They can be revitalized and then used to contribute to more sustainable socio-economic development of the region. In turn, Central Moravia represents a geographical area which has been adversely affected by the effects of the ongoing economic crisis. To some extent, Silesia suffers from similar problems as Central Moravia, but it also encounters some specific difficulties arising from its post-industrial character. For this reason, there was a necessity to properly identify opportunities to support projects financed from the JESSICA initiative in the analyzed regions, as well as to adapt the scope of these projects to the specific socio-economic conditions in the regions under investigation.
