Post-socialist retail worlds
This paper explores the transformation of the retail sector in the Czech and Slovak Republics following the collapse of the centrally planned economy in 1989. It identifies three core stages of retail development – atomisation, internationalisation, and consolidation – and analyses their temporal and spatial dynamics in both countries. Drawing on extensive empirical data, the study highlights key differences in the space and structure of transfor…
Grocery Retail Location Patterns in Brno
This study aims to evaluate the spatial distribution and clustering patterns of grocery retail chains in Brno, Czech Republic, focusing on national and multinational stores. By employing Geographic Information Systems and advanced spatial analysis techniques, including the nearest neighbour method, standard deviational ellipse, Kernel density estimation and street network centrality measures, the research identifies significant spatial clustering…
National retailing after the Second World War
Changes in retail structures, processes, and culture in post-war Europe were strongly affected by the post-war economic boom, the origin of a mass consumer society, and the adaptation of innovations from the United States. Retail structures and the culture of consumption remained different in the Czech and Slovak parts of the former Czechoslovakia after the Second World War, which influenced the development of retail trade in both countries. Afte…
Industrial legacy towards modern urban environment
The paper examines the spatial structure of industrial production in the urban environment of two Central European cities, Wroclaw and Brno, and their changes during the transformation from centrally controlled to capitalist economies. The study used mapping techniques to analyse the spatial distribution of industrial activities, focusing on the representation of industrial sectors and major industrial enterprises in both cities. The research aim…
Locality selection matters. Investigating creative hubs in the Czech urban environment
The paper aims to identify and analyze the factors influencing the selection of sites and buildings for the placement of creative hubs in the urban environment of the Czech Republic, where cultural and creative industries have been mapped (model cities Prague, Brno, Ostrava, Pilsen, Olomouc, and Zlín). Methodologically, the text is anchored both in the theoretical discussion of the concept of creative hubs and especially in qualitative research i…
Two decades of changes in spatial distribution of retail and commercial services
The aim of this paper is to introduce basic developmental consequences, changes, trends and the current situation in amenities through retail and commercial services in the rural areas of the Czech Republic. The example illustrated herein is the South Moravian Region. Methodically, the text is built on previous survey (2002), and on our own survey conducted in municipalities up to 3,000 inhabitants of the South Moravian Region in 2018 (n = 355). …
Return of the Local Democracy to the Territory of the Military Training Areas (Case Study the Czech Republic)
The return of the local democracy to the military training areas raises a number of complex challenges even under the conditions of a democratic state. In the municipalities that were established in the Czech Republic on 1 January 2016 by a separation from the territory of the military training areas, a nondemocratic paternalist system has dominated for many decades at the local level, which in some cases was deepened by a presence of the foreign…

Retail Gravity Models, Shopping Habits and Shopping Centres
Economic and social changes since the year 1990 in the Czech Republic have been refl ected in the shopping habits of the population.

Such daily shopping trips are often combined with commuting to work and school or travelling for other services and have become an impo…
