Trends in Population Migration in Post-Communist Countries: Case Study of the Czech Republic

Original language description

The main aim of the paper is to describe the trends of migration flows of population after the collapse of the totalitarian regime in one of the post-communist countries. Based on the data gathered, the authors present perspectives on further development of the spatial distribution of population in the Czech Republic. The data on both long-term and short-term migration are used in the paper. The data on migration are provided by the Czech Statistical Office from both the continuous population statistics as well as the census. Besides the basic demographic methods focused on measuring the migration intensity, the authors also used the GIS method to present the data used. The migration of population, from the spatial perspective, is examined on the level of regions of the Czech Republic. A particular attention is paid to the metropolitan area of the capital city of the Czech Republic. Since the nineties, Prague and its wider hinterland formed by the Central Bohemian Region have been showing the most significant growth of population among all the regions of the Czech Republic. The core of the metropolitan region is formed by the Prague agglomeration whose delimitation is in terms of the territorial-administrative structure of the Czech Republic relatively complicated. The article uses commuting data to present a solution to this problem. The authors also pay attention to migration loss in regions - mostly the old industrial regions and marginal regions. The Ústí Region, the Karlovy Vary Region and the Moravian-Silesian Region fall within this category and are classified by the government as structurally affected regions.
