Abstract

V originále

Main target of this study is to evaluate regional differences in standard of living in case of the Czech Republic, what is based on creating Alternative human development measure (Alt-HDI). Alt-HDI is a composite index, which consists of six components and twenty-one variables. The purpose is to incorporate more aspects of human development into the measurement. Employability of Alt-HDI is checked at NUTS3 level first. Then it is applied at LAU1 level (77 districts) in order to make deeper regional analysis. According to the results, the most developed regions are Hl. m. Praha with surroundings and Brno–město. The least developed are Moravskoslezský kraj and Ústecký kraj, which consists with general perception and results of other studies.
