Summary/Abstract: The aim of the presented paper is to reveal the territorial differentiation of the use of state regional development support programs financed by the Ministry of Regional Development of the Czech Republic in 2013-2018. Territorial differentiation is examined through three indicators: the share of financial allocation of programs, the share of the number of implemented projects and the financial allocation of programs per capita for individual regions of the Czech Republic. The results of the analysis show that the total amount of financial support for regions varies in the relevant years depending on the nature of regional problems and the time-limited existence of some programs. It was also found that South Bohemian Region which received the largest part of the total allocation in the period, even in terms of per capita, had the largest absorption capacity of the programs. The justification lies in the relatively high support for the remediation of flood damage after 2013. In contrast, the Karlovy Vary region, which is characterized by the localization of a number of "state-supported regions", received a relatively small amount of support compared to other regions (related to size of the area).
