This paper presents the accessibility of peripheralregions in the Czech Republic after the period of transformation, which caused the differences between the core and the peripheralregions even on the micro-regional level. The tendency
of development and regional differentiation of individual car transport and public transport have been also taken under consideration. - (BJ)

This article focuses on the topic of the polarisation of space. Its objective is to give a basic overview of the theoretical and methodological aspects of research on peripheral areas and to discuss selected aspects. Attention is given
to the concept of polarisation of space as a central theoretical point of departure in studying peripheral areas. In the second section, attention is directed at defining the terms marginality/ peripherality and marginal/peripheral areas. - (EN)

The Northwestern planning region is a typical example of a peripheral area whose unfavourable geographical location has for a long time predetermined the poor growth of its economic potential. The peripheral position strongly restricts
the possibilities for a better education, for carrying out investigations, for making innovations and developing technologies or for stimulating the competitive power. The main problem of the peripheral is depopulation. During the period 1946-2002 the population
in NW region decreased by 23,5 %. The population aging is another acute demographic problem - the population over 60 years of age constitutes 29,8 %. The demographic problems are high level at the regressive population reproduction and the negative
migration. The peripheral location causes a lower educational level of the population. - (BJ)

In research activities in the Czech Republic, the centre of attention has been shifting towards peripheral territories. As a result, there is a project shared by several academic institutions that is focused on the position of the periphery within
the settlement system in the context of European integration. This paper presents several model regions and it focuses on their natural conditions, land-use and prospects for local/regional development. In the analysis, it combines objective data with the results
of the author's own empirical inquiry conducted among the regions' inhabitants. - (BJ)

The A. provides a general overview about the restructuring spatial pattern of peripheral areas in Central Europe. The Visegrad Countries are regarded as Central European countries, in this case, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary
are involved. Major methodological problems hampered the process of data collection and the comparison of different delimitations of peripheral areas in different countries. However, a general overview could have been made in order to detect the most important
alterations of the spatial structures of the investigated countries. The territorial structures of peripheral areas during the socialist era and nowadays were compared to each other. The changes in the location of peripheral areas reflect back the increasing

Assessment and optimization of economic restructuring in a small peripheralregion
An evaluation model is presented which is suitable for planning methods related to the construction of regional economic scenarios. The model is constructed for assessment and optimization the regional economic structure in the medium-run
. A scenario experiment was performed in a small peripheral area of Finland, Northern Karelia, in the early 1980s, and preliminary results are given regarding its ability to evaluate the course of restructuring in manufacturing in this area.

The spatial income pattern of Hungary significantly altered after the political transition. The change influenced the territorial characteristics of peripheral areas. The development of the formerly backward areas in Western Hungary was confirmed
by the investigation of the lowest tenth of the income rank analysed in the study. The paper points out that the appearance of new peripheral settlements were in connection with the structural crisis of the mining and heavy industrial areas of NE and SW Hungary
. Peripheral settlements tend to concentrate territorially after the political transition causing the deepening of their depression. The backward situation of the peripheral areas can be regarded as stable, their catching up has not started yet. - (AM)

In contrast to other countries with a colonial past, Morocco had an existing precolonial urban pattern concentrated in the interior and a high population-density in unfavourable mountainous regions. The economic and spatial planning after 1956
Several dimensions of performance are investigated for four industries: market research, management consultancy, advertising, and graphic design. A very consistent picture emerges of the relative position of business services in the two regions
