Evaluation of the localization TPCA in Kolín

This diploma thesis is focused on an evaluation of the influence of a car factory, TPCA, as a generator of regional growth in Kolín. Localization of TPCA, besides Kolín, has brought many positives in the Ovčáry village that would otherwise have not occurred. However, this has caused enormous indebtedness within the town of Kolín. The beginning of the economic crisis, which caused a general slowdown within the car market, had a paradoxically beneficial effect for the TPCA. Localization is evaluated from a regional perspective. The theoretical section provides the basic approaches to regional location, which are closely related to the procedure adopted by TPCA. For completeness, the state of the automotive industry of the Czech Republic is also given. The influence of the TPCA is captured in the economic, environmental and social scale. For comparison purposes, the method of the localization and production of the newest automobile company in the Czech Republic, HMMC in the Nošovice near the Frýdek-Místek, is also included
