Changes in grocery purchases in the new millennium: the example of the South Moravian Region in the Czech Republic

Original language description

In the Czech Republic, significant social changes took place at the turn of the millennium. One of them was the emergence of a free market. This led to the free expansion of supermarkets and shopping centers in the Czech Republic. There were dramatic changes in grocery purchases at the beginning of the millennium. This is an important and actual issue, because it affects the commuting of the inhabitants for grocery shopping, the amenities of shops in the countryside and thus the economic and social status of the countryside. The aim of the paper is to identify changes in the commuting of residents to regular purchases of daily groceries between 2005 and 2018 on the example of municipalities in the South Moravian Region (one of the NUTS 3 in the Czech Republic). On the example of the South Moravian Region (one of the NUTS 3 in the Czech Republic), centers (municipalities) were selected, where the inhabitants of individual municipalities mostly commute to make daily purchases (purchases of groceries for daily use). The spheres of influence of these centers were monitored and a time comparison of the size of the served areas took place between 2005 and 2018. A questionnaire survey was used among representatives of South Moravian municipalities (n = 382) and semi-structured interviews with selected participants (n = 21). It has been found that, since 2005, purchases of groceries for daily use have become more centralized in larger centers. On the other hand, spheres of influence have been shrinking for smaller centers since 2005. This jeopardizes smaller grocery stores and increases grocery supply chains.
