Development potential of the European territory: A literature review

Measurement of soft factors in the EU regional development: Case of media image of Czech regions

“…Literature review has an important role in continuing education because it provides current thinking and research on a selected area of study, and may justify future research into a previously overlooked or understudied area. (Poledníková, 2017) Relevant literature was identified through a literature search in several academic databases (i.e. Web of Science, Scopus, internet search engine Google and Google Scholar), using various combinations of related keywords (soft and hard factors, intangible and tangible factors, media, exogenous and endogenous regional development, evaluation, EU, Czech Republic, regions).…”

Territorial Differentiation Of Russia's Economic Development

“…The study of territorial disproportions of socio-economic development associated with the natural disparity of the resource potential is the subject of study of many scientists from Europe (Benedek, 2015;Ejupi and Ramadani, 2016;Gavurova, Soltes, & Kovac, 2017;Isaksen, 2015;Polednikova, 2017;Viturka, 2010), North America (Kemeny and Storper, 2015), Asia (Yeung and Coe, 2015) and Russia (Golaydo, Parshutina, Gudimenko, Lazarenko, & Shelepina, 2017;Lygina, Rudakova, & Soboleva, 2015).…”

Spatial data analysis as selected approach to measuring of the EU development potential

“…This author also uses cartographic analysis that based on maps allows the detection of possible west-east or core-periphery patterns of change, the formation of possible development axes. Kalnina-Lukasevica (2003) introduces the Synthesized Model identifying the causation of regional development trends, the priority areas of policy and recommendations and intervention to stimulate economic development (Poledníková, 2017a). Despite the advantages of these methods, their application to spatial data is problematic.…”

“…The method of literature review objectively describes and discusses the state of the science of a specific topic from theoretical and contextual point of view (Rother, 2007). Literature review has an important role in continuing education because it provides current thinking and research on a selected area of study, and may justify future research into a previously overlooked or understudied area (Rother, 2007;Poledníková, 2017a). The literature review on the specific aspects of spatial data analysis used in the context of evaluation of regional development is the initial phase before the further empirical research work.…”
