Perceptions of Marginality: The Role of Administration and Other Stakeholders in Issues of Future Development of Czech Military Training Areas
Abstract
Serious problems are becoming evident after 20 years of liberalization concerning the development of Czech military training areas (MT As) and, in particular in their neighbouring zones. An important task is to devise procedures that emphasize essential conditions for the successful spatial and social integration of these marginal areas in the Czech regional system.
The presented article analyzes the regional development intentions of the different hierarchical levels of board/administration (municipal, micro-regional, regional and departmental/governmental), concerning the role of an MT A in the regional system - in the case of MT A Boletice, this study's area of interest. The qualitative research presented is based on the analysis, interpretation and evaluation of primary data, procured through structured interviews and questionnaires carried out with representatives of local administration at various hierarchical levels.
