The impact of the activities of LAG Aktivios for the development of the region

The cooperation of the population, non-profit organizations, the private business sphere and the public administration is called the local action group. This is a group that helps from the idea, through its financing to the actual realization. It supports the development of business, takes care of the landscape and develops education. All this contributes to the overall development of the region, which is the main goal of this work. The theoretical part contains a basic definition of concepts related to the development of the region with the help of local action groups of the Czech Republic. Subsequently, the connections with regional development, cooperation of municipalities, the LEADER method or Community-led local development and its strategy are defined. Furthermore, this part provides a comprehensive view of the issue of the influence of the local action group in the development of the region. An integral part describes the influence of LAGs on the development of regional planning and association into the national network and regional associations of LAGs within the country. The practical part brings findings from the questionnaire survey and direct analysis and synthesis of the evaluation of the activities of Aktivios within its contribution to the development of the region. The evaluation of the final outputs is further based on a structured interview provided to me by the chairman of the Regional Association of the National Network LAGs of the Czech republic of the Pilsen Region. The results of the thesis bring proposals for possible changes in the management of LAG Aktivios, Especially in evaluating the results of the position of the LAG for the past programming period
