Evaluation of Regional Disparities in Visegrad Four Countries, Germany and Austria using the Cluster Analysis
Original language description
One of the possible methods which can be useful in the process of the measurement and evaluation of the regional disparities is cluster analysis. The cluster analysis represents the multivariate statistical method that enables to classify the objects into homogeneous groups (clusters) based on their characteristics. The aim of this paper is to classify NUTS 2 regions of the Visegrad Four countries (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia), Germany and Austria to the optimal number of the homogeneous clusters according to the similarity of the selected economic, social and territorial indicators. Subsequently, on the basis of the profiled clusters, the paper aims to evaluate and compare the development of regional disparities in the period 2000-2010. On the basis of the analysis results, the optimal four-cluster solution has been determined in the years 2000 and 2010. In the year 2000, the highest disparities were recorded between Cluster 1 (including the regions of capital cities
