Among the most significant changes in the nature of labour is an increasing rate of time and space flexibility and spatial delocalization of work. These changes give rise to the need to review the current theoretical and methodological insights into the relationships between home and work, which largely determine the delimitation of metropolitan regions. The article offers a discussion of conceptual approaches to the issue of flexibility and localisation of labour and critical reflection on these concepts, especially from the perspective of social and economic geography. The aim is to discuss the usability of theoretical concepts to current research of metropolitan areas in Czech Republic. In the final part of the text we discuss the possibility of measurement of work localisation using traditional approaches based on data on commuting with triangulation of data using alternative sources.

The research presented in this article builds upon a phenomenon of new socio-spatial differentiation progressively occurring in the Czech Republic since 1989, with special attention devoted to rural peripheral areas suffering from a long-term loss of population (depopulation). The authors argue that the persistent out-migration predominately of young and educated inhabitants is one of the key processes of the circular causal mechanism that leads to the marginalisation of particular localities and areas. Selective outmigration entails the disappearance of various socio-cultural activities, more precisely social institutions and civic amenities essential to maintaining or increasing the quality of human capital. Consequently, depopulation could have a severe impact on the developmental potential of a locality, and thus could significantly decrease quality of life in certain localities and particularly among certain social groups of the population. The article provides spatial insight into depopulation tendencies at several geographical levels, especially in the fi nal decades of the last century. Alongside a quantitative analysis of migration, the research included a detailed case study of a municipality in the Pacov region and thus also applied qualitative approaches (e.g. Observation, semi-structured interviews with the inhabitants, and local actors). The article discusses the interconnections between specific effects of depopulation (e.g. a deterioration of accessibility by public transport, poor civic amenities) and their impacts on the quality of life in rural peripheral areas in general.

The paper draws attention to the new socio-spatial differentiation emerging in the Czech Republic and discusses its relation to certain aspects of people’s quality of life in cities, towns and villages. At the same time the paper points out the significance of empirical research focused on territorial disparities at microregional level and it proposes feasible approaches to measure and to evaluate microscale socio-spatial differentiation. Finally, the objective is to emphasize the necessity to reflect research results in political practice – in introducing explicit regional dimension into public policies and development strategies of cites and municipalities.

This article deals with population censuses as a source of information on development of population from the 19th until the 21st century. It discusses the methodology and classification of census based labour and mobility statistics, and focuses on reflection of their ability to maintain the original methodology, or vice versa to flexibly capture changes of dynamically changing society and its identity from the 19th century onwards.
