Social environment and new suburbanites'problems

ABSTRACT. Suburbanization is a process that is connected with political, economic and social changes in our republic after the Velvet Revolution in 1989. New conditions were created for suburban development in the 1990s. At present a lot of geographers pay attention to suburbanization. I have decided to deal with this process because I am a geography teacher and I live in Prague's hinterland, where suburbanization develops most of all. This work deals with the influence of suburbanization on population development in four case localities and in the district of Prague-East. It is focused on problems and consequences connected with suburbanization. The aim is to find out whether new suburbanites are satisfied with the life in suburbium. The work concludes with a discussion about this topic use in geography lessons
