Summary/Abstract: The paper draws attention to the new socio-spatial differentiation emerging in the Czech Republic and discusses its relation to certain aspects of people’s qual-ity of life in cities, towns and villages. At the same time the paper points out the significance of empirical research focused on territorial disparities at microregional level and it proposes feasible approaches to measure and to evalu-ate microscale socio-spatial differentiation. Finally, the objective is to emphasize the necessity to reflect research results in political practice – in introducing explicit regional dimension into public policies and development strategies of cites and municipalities.
