Počet obyvatel jako faktor hospodaření obcí s majetkem v Moravskoslezském kraji v letech 2015-2024

Abstract

The aim of the thesis is to determine whether and how population size influences municipal property management. Selected small and medium-sized municipalities from all regions of the Moravian-Silesian Region are analyzed based on their population size. A quantitative research approach is applied. Using three research methods—indicator analysis based on the FAMA method, descriptive statistics, and regression analysis—the impact of population size on municipal property management is examined. The results of all three methods consistently indicate a low level of influence of population size on municipal property management. Population size represents one of several interrelated factors affecting municipal property management, in connection with the size of the cadastral area, the long-term economic strategy of the municipality, and other determinants. Based on the research findings, it is recommended to regularly invest financial resources in property management and maintenance, infrastructure, and in developing cooperation with other municipalities.
