The contemporary socio-spatial differentiation of the Czech Republic is the focus of this article. The main aim is (1) to identify spatial clusters of municipalities formed by similar structural and developmental socioeconomic characteristics, and (2) to uncover the basic socioeconomic factors of the spatial differentiation of municipalities. To achieve the proposed aims a unique dataset covering a wide range of social, demographic, and economic variables at the municipal level is used. The principles of spatial autocorrelations (LISA – local indicators of spatial association) are employed. Very distinct connections between the statistical and the spatial variation of different variables were found, which indicates that the absence of a simple connection between the vertical and the horizontal differentiation of society. From a methodological perspective this article’s major contribution is the construction and testing of procedures which can be used to synthesise the results of the LISA analyses. The synthesis uncovers basic spatial patterns of development mirrored in the formation of the growth and decline poles and axes. The results of cluster analyses indicate the spatial stability and inner homogeneity of the growth areas. Conversely, areas in decline are characterised by a very heterogeneous set of variables differing from region to region.

The spatial polarisation of society is open to various research perspectives. It takes several forms and involves various epiphenomena. Consequently, it is the subject of research interest to scholars in various fields, especially sociologists, economists, regionalists, and regional geographers. The article focuses on selected aspects of peripherality and peripheral regions. The first part is devoted to the theoretical aspects of the polarisation of society, developmental interactions between the centre and the periphery, the relationship between peripherality and levels of hierarchy, peripherality and time, and the primary criteria of peripherality in inland and borderland regions. The second part applies theoretical-methodological findings to regions of Slovakia using selected quantitative methods. The author attempts to describe peripherality in multidimensional terms, and to identify the interconnections between various types of peripherality. Based on detailed statistical data on municipalities, he uses a broad range of indicators divided into four groups: human resources, economic potential, personal amenities, and access to centres. In conclusion the author identifies and categorises the peripheral regions of Slovakia and notes the existence of peripherality at regional and local levels.
