| Description | The paper deals with the issue of inner structure of functional regions in the Czech Republic and it is based on the analysis of spatial distribution of daily travel-to-work flows between so called protocentres. 160 functional regions based on the CURDS measure and 667 proto-centres provided by the first step of the regionalisation algorithm have been used. The result shows spatial distribution of flow intensities between proto-centres and their typology. Out of four basic relationships between protocentres of a functional region (indifference, cooperation, complementarity, competition) the first three have been identified, while for cooperation and complementarity the hierarchical level of protocentres is also taken into account. |
