Rural areas of success - in search of definitions and measures
Definition ; Location ; Measurement ; Region ; Rural area
This paper is an introduction to the discussion on rural areas of success, their definitions, methods of delimitation, conditions of localization and relationship with other socio-economical phenomena. Areas, where all indices describing
civilization development are relatively high and which are characterised by a constant progress in chosen measures in a given time, should be considered as the rural areas of success. This definition assumes that a region where only one of the examined planes
is highly developed while the other features reach values lower than the average cannot be recognized as the areas of success. Dynamic perspective is the other important element of the definition. Very important feature of the area of success

Alternative approaches to market-area structure in the urban system
Central places ; Centrality ; Gravity model ; Market ; Market area ; Retail trade ; Urban system
It is argued that the market-area structure within the typical model of an urban system does not conform satisfactorily to the pattern customarily observed. The market-area structure of the standard model of a central place system is modified
by applying two additional frameworks: the economic law of market areas and the law of retail gravitation. Each application results in a more relistic pattern of market areas, while preserving the hierarchical structure of the central place system.
