Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
Cílem předmětu je seznámit posluchače se základními přístupy k lokalizačnímu
chování a rozhodování ekonomických subjektů. Zákonitosti lokalizace
ekonomických subjektů jsou přitom odvozovány jak na základě analýz
lokalizačního chování izolovaných subjektů , tak také ve vazbě na interakce s
ostatními subjekty. Lokalizace ekonomických subjektů je přitom základnou pro
formování prostorových struktur
