Abstract
The change of the social structure has also caused a series of spatial modifications in the Czech Republic. The population of larger cities as Prague, Plzen and Bruenn has decreased in the last 10 years, although the population of municipalities in the surrounding areas has increased with process of suburbanisation. Until 1991 there was another development tendency, with clear growth of population in the larger cities and losses in the surrounding area of these cities. The cause for that reverse is the changed common idea for the private property, the increasing ground price in the cities. Different indicators, for example, standard of living and labour market, have been considered to clarify the changes of population structure and economy structure. The transformation process of the society brings regional differentiation and/or modification, and is also the possible determinants.
