State and development analysis of human resources in Czech region South-West

Within determination of regional development strategies it is necessary to analyze the present development of all groups of indicators expressing the state and development of the region and especially to identify factors determining the region development, and to evaluate and quantify their significance. The state and development analyses of human resources in the region have the irreplaceable place here. Human resources are the determining resource of regional development; therefore it is necessary to give them appropriate attention because the further economic development and prosperity of the given territory depend just on them. The paper aim is to evaluate the state and development of human resources in a complex effect of all relevant factors in districts of the region South-West and on base of the analyses to set groups of districts with a similar development and to determine groups of districts or districts which can be marked from the given view-point as endangered. As the basic areas for the analysis the demographic indicators, an economic activity of inhabitants and unemployment of inhabitants were chosen. Besides the basic statistical dynamics indicators also multidimensional statistical methods were used for the analyses - a principal component analysis and a cluster analysis. By their help indicators were selected whose influence showed themselves as the strongest in the given period, and further they served for establishment of homogeneous groups of districts with a similar state of human factors. It enabled to characterize from the given point of view particular groups of districts and to reveal strong and weak places of human potential development in them.
