Description of the research topic:
In our world there are more than hundred so called developing countries where disparities, crucial differences in population, economic performances, abundance of resources etc. can be well observed and analyzed. These disparities can appear in many cases not only at national level, but should be examined within the geographic spaces of the respective countries. Such disparities can be important economic factors (like supply of natural resources or other inputs), social characteristics (like ethnic or regional composition of the society or just the density of population). One can examine not only the distribution of these factors and phenomena in space but also – in time horizon – their developmental dynamics as well.
The examination of the impacts of global problems (climatic changes, overpopulation, urbanization process, availability of potable or irrigation water, etc.) in various regions of the developing countries can also be a part of the research. Another important field can be the examination of the centre-periphery relation and the same of the lagging regions being in the most disadvantageous situation.
