The development of market socialism in China has contributed to a spatial economic transformation characterized, among other things, by the apparent capacity to rapidly industrialize without transferring large numbers of people into big cities. The most striking element of this transformation has been the phenomenal growth and spatial proliferation of industries in particular areas of the Chinese countryside. The conventional wisdom of existing theories of development, industrialization, and urbanization does not adequately explain the emergence of these relatively productive regions. This thesis examines the key patterns and underlying processes and mechanisms which must be accommodated in a new analytical and conceptual framework for understanding rural transformation and the wider spatial economic restructuring in China's lower Yangzi delta. The overall objective is to explore the theoretical implications of the local character of regional change through an evaluation of a hypothetical model of mega-urbanization. The model situates the emergence and specific patterns of industrial production within a complex network of interactions and interrelationships embedded in overlapping administrative and institutional structures which are themselves largely tied to the circumstances of particular places. The resulting investigations are based upon an analysis of regional and local level statistical and other documentary sources, numerous interviews, field observations, and a survey questionnaire of rural enterprises which was part of a detailed case study of one county level area in the lower Yangzi delta. Two central findings are revealed. First, the patterns and underlying processes and mechanisms of regional development in the delta are fundamentally linked to intensely localized exigencies and opportunities within the wider Chinese space economy. Second, external economies, the dynamics of agglomeration, and the role of large cities and other exogenous forces, while significant, were less important in the delta than were endogenous forces. The details of these findings are incorporated into a revised model of mega-urbanization which highlights the critical processes and mechanisms which underlie the patterns observed, what establishes these processes and mechanisms, and what stabilizes and reproduces them. The thesis concludes by suggesting an agenda for the creation of appropriate planning and management responses for the lower Yangzi delta region. / Arts, Faculty of / Geography, Department of / Graduate

The master thesis concentrates on the problematics of the regional development in connection with the educational structure of the Czech Republic. The main goal of this working paper is to evaluate, whether the level of the education reached has an impact on the regional development. For purpose of the analysis, NUTS 3 regions of the Czech Republic have been used. The regional development has been defined with five economic indicators, namely GDP per capita, average monthly gross salary, long term unemployment, foreign direct investments and employment in the primary sector. Nowadays education on the university degree is gaining importance and that is why university degree of the working population has been set as independent variable. For the proof of the dependence between university degree and dependent economic indicators of regional development, linear regression analysis has been used. In order to analyze the development of the dependence in time, for each economic indicators regression analysis of two years has been compared.

This thesis focuses on the development tendency of small settlements in the Czech Republic. The goal of this thesis would be to determine the main factors that influence the position of these settlements in the whole system, and to valorize their economical possibilities in the environment of current economy. The local development factors that this thesis focuses on are the territorial amenities, employment and mobility. The methods that was used for processing the analysis are: the historical-geographical method, cartographic techniques, the expert method and the empiric investigation (questionnaire investigation). Age and educational structure of the population of rural municipalities were evaluated in terms of demographic projections and impact on the local labor market. The level of technical and public rural communities at a high level, which enhances the stabilization function of these residential areas. Grant programs current programming period 2007 - 2013 is one of access "top-down", which is largely based on the passive accepting of financial resources. Gradually begins to promote a modern approach that includes measures strengthening regional competitiveness, involving a broader range of actors.

Les dispositifs de développement territorial multiplient les territoires de gouvernance et les acteurs qui interviennent dans la fabrication de l’action publique. Cela pose la question des modalités d’interactions de ces acteurs dans leur diversité, leurs échelles et périmètres d’intervention et la question des effets de ces interactions sur le processus de fabrication de l’action publique. En associant géographie et science politique, la thèse propose un modèle d’analyse d’inspiration foucaldienne pour étudier les interactions entre acteurs de différents territoires de gouvernance dans le processus de fabrication de politiques publiques. Ce cadre est utilisé pour expliquer le processus observé dans la Province Nord de Nouvelle-Calédonie. Depuis la signature des accords de Matignon (1989), la Nouvelle-Calédonie est divisée en trois provinces dont la province Nord, gérée par des élus kanak majoritairement indépendantistes. Depuis 1992, un dispositif de développement territorial, venant de la France, a été mis en œuvre sur les communes du territoire provincial : les Opérations groupées d’aménagement du foncier (OGAF). Le dispositif s’appuie sur une association locale composée d’acteurs du territoire de projet et sur des comités locaux de discussion qui favorisent la participation d’un plus grand nombre d’acteurs aux politiques de développement. Après quelques expérimentations, les OGAF sont devenues centrales dans la politique provinciale de développement. [etc.] / Territorial development policies have multiplied both the spaces for governance and the number of actors involved in the process of policy making. This increase raises the question of the patterns of interaction between these actors and of the effects of these interactions on public policy making. Providing a link between geography and political science, this thesis proposes a theoretical framework inspired by Foucauld in order to highlight the interactions between actors from different governance territories in the process of public policy making. This framework is used to explain the process observed in the Northern Province of New-Caledonia. Since 1989, New-Caledonia has been divided into three Provinces, among which the North Province, led by a pro-independence movement. Starting in 1992, territorial development programs called OGAF (Grouped Operations for Land Planning, adapted from France) have been implemented in the municipalities of the provincial territory. This policy arrangement is supported by a local association made up of provincial actors on the one hand; and on the other hand by local committees promoting the participation of a great number of actors in development policies. After an experimentation period, OGAF has now become a central instrument in provincial policy development. [etc.]
