A divergence is the basic trend of regional development in Slovakia. Increasing regional disparities multiply the adverse situation of margined and economically weaker regions. The aim of the article is to delimit marginal regions on the level of districts in terms of selected relevant indicators of socio-economic marginality, which reflect the level of economic development, living conditions of population and social climate of regional societies. The contribution of the article is in capturing of changes in their development, which took place in the years 2001 and 2011. From the point of view of Slovakia, these were very important periods in many aspects because it was when Slovakia became member of the EU (2004) and of Eurozone (2009) and, along with the rest of the world, suffered the consequences of the economic crisis (2008). The quoted and other events significantly affected regions and their changes. Increase of margined districts, deepening of their marginality and changes in spatial distribution were observed.

Currently, more and more households have to decide between heating and eating, which represent the largest expenditure items in EU countries. The aim of this contribution is to present an alternative approach to monitoring the different levels of energy poverty (EP) in Slovakia at different geographical scales. The paper answers three research questions: where, in which regions and municipalities, are the highest level of EP, what are the main factors and differences conditioning their unfavourable situation and who the main bearer of EP is. The results showed that Slovakia had the highest expenditure on energy of all EU countries. Three regions are vulnerable at the NUTS 3 regional level. Analyses at the regional level of LAU 1 and LAU 2 revealed significant differences between districts and municipalities. On this basis, the districts and municipalities with the highest level of EP as well as its main bearers were identified.
