A socio-economic analysis was prepared, the most significant result of which is 41 thematic maps, description with interpretation and initial synthesis of acquired knowledge. Unlike previous work, we consistently focused on municipalities as territorial units, especially on catchment areas of municipalities with extended powers (ORP), the effort was to capture not only the current state (2019) in some districts / indicators but also development (2001-2019). At the same time, we combined deductive and inductive approaches in order to accurately capture the real situation (development, eg through 5-year periods in birth and migration). The values for municipalities are related to the national value and subsequently the set is divided according to the statistical distribution into quintiles and, in justified cases, supplemented by the extent of the deviation from the average value. We believe that it is the municipalities classified in the two quintiles in a negative sense that can be declared slightly to significantly peripheral. However, for the final determination, territorial connections were considered, including the extent of the periphery over a minimum number of municipalities, and not isolated units. In addition to the intensity of peripherality, thematic peripherality was monitored, such as peripherality based on population development, labor market and economy, transport accessibility, which were supplemented by other separate indicators (housing construction, Internet accessibility). An overview of indicators is included in the map outputs. The final form of data files and map design was determined. Each map became the starting point for the analysis consisting of description, synthesis and overall evaluation and regionalization of internal and external peripheries. This output was realized in the form thematic maps with corresponding characteristics.
