Popis | The submitted study is primarily aimed at the application of the gravity models to the research of theoretical and real spatial interactions and the theoretical and real regionalisation of the Vysočina Region in the Czech Republic. The interactions among the regional centres and the centres and their hinterland are a key component of the geographical organization of an area. The Reilly’s law belongs to the basic gravitation models used in the geographical research, especially for studying the interaction patterns among the settlement elements. Despite the fact that the gravitation models were used in the human geography especially in the second half of the 20th century, they still form an important part of the geographical methodology originating from the social physics. The outcome of the study is comparison of the real and theoretical interactions in the Vysočina Region and the study of relevance of the Reilly’s model application under specific geographical conditions. |
