Abstract
In the current concept of regional politics as an activity, the main purpose of which is to reduce disparities in development of individual regions and to ensure their harmonious development, emphasis is also laid on cooperation of towns and municipalities in development of a given area. Local initiative thus gains more and more on significance and under certain circumstances becomes the most important factor in regional development. This contribution analyses the ways to measure the intensity of intermunicipal cooperation in the individual regions of South Bohemia Region and it also attempts to describe all relevant relations between these variables in order to better understand the significance of processes and elements of cooperation using an originally created data-base of towns and municipalities in the South Bohemian Region after the year 2001.
