Transformations of work localization in the Prague metropolitan region

This bachelor thesis deals with transformations of work localization in the Prague metropolitan region in the period from 1991 to 2011. The aim of presented study is to analyze the transformation of work localization in context with duality of core and periphery and to determine whether the work localization is affected by highway localization in hinterland and underground localization in core of metropolitan region. For the purpose of analysis I used data on work commuting from 1991, 2001 and 2011 censuses. The first part is devoted to the theoretical bases of work localization and to description of different conditions and processes that influenced work localization before and after year 1989. This section significantly focuses on description and explanation of the process of commercial suburbanization, which causes changes in work localization in the Prague metropolitan region after 1989. The empirical part is divided into two sections. In the first section data for municipalities are analyzed and is devoted to duality of core and periphery and to transformations of work localization in hinterland of the Prague metropolitan region in context with localization of highways. In the second part of thesis, data for basic settlement units from year 2011 are analyzed and localization of work in core of..
