Spatial Analysis of NUTS 2 Regions Based on Competitiveness Factors and Their Regional Variability

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Globalisation makes international competitiveness a key concern in regional development. Bringing together different development factors which illustrate single aspects of competitiveness gives a first impression of the overall regional competitiveness of European regions and shows the diversity that exists within the EU territory. Specialisation within regional markets is often regarded as a development strategy to achieve international competitive advantage. Identification of suitable potentials and specialisation has to be built upon detailed local knowledge. From this point of view, the main aim of the paper is to introduce important factors of regional competitiveness within the EU28 NUTS 2 regions, and illustrating the diversity of regions and different aspects of development in reference period 2004-2012. These aspects have nature of input, i.e. sources of competitiveness and output, i.e. outcomes of a competitive society and economy. Identification of suitable potentials and specialisation has to be built upon detailed local knowledge. Territorial potential is analysed by looking at the socio-economic specialisations of regions, encompassing key factors of competitiveness using multivariate methods of Factor Analysis and then by Cluster Analysis, the EU28 NUTS 2 regions are classified to homogeneous units (clusters) according to the similarity of selected competitiveness factors and their spatial variability. Discussion of regional competitiveness focuses mainly on economic strength, labour market and innovation. These factors are aspects of a region’s territorial capital and illustrate the potential to respond to challenges of the integrated market. Specialisation within regional markets is often regarded as a development strategy to achieve international competitive advantage.
