Cíle předmětu
Spatial Economics may be broadly characterized as the study of human economic behaviour in space. Local and regional development has become the subject of policymakers around the world in recent decades. The role of the spatial dimension of the economy has proved crucial in the ongoing process of globalization.
The main objective of the course is to acquaint students with a wide range of theoretical approaches to spatial and regional economics and to explain the laws in the spatial distribution of economy. In addition, the course will enable students to gain practically applicable knowledge from comprehensive research of regional assumptions of competitive and sustainable development as an essential starting point for creating optimal strategies for its support.
Výstupy z učení
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
- define fundamental terms of the field of spatial economics and understand matters of spatial economic development processes;
- explain how economie development is embedded in spatial context;
- explain and apply spatial features and methodological procedures used in regional economics and - related disciplines;
- understand the complexities of the challenges faced by regional policy makers and other experts;
- participate in creating strategies of local and regional development;
- reflect the broader context (social, environmental) in the conditions of spatial and economic development.
