Abstract
In the last 30 years, the Czech Karst PLA has been increasingly threatened by suburbanization and its negative influence due to the large influence of Prague. The aim of the article is, based on the analysis of statistical data, to evaluate the increase in the number of inhabitants of municipalities on the eastern edge of the Czech Karst PLA in connection with suburbanisation trends created by low housing construction in the capital. As part of the research in the part of the PLA adjacent to Prague, the population of seven municipalities increased by 1680 people between 1992 and 2022, that is, 61.5%. In the period 2001-2011, the number of new houses also increased disproportionately, by 772 houses, that is, by 101.6%). Most new houses are in the villages of Třebotov and Karlík. From the number of houses compared to the number of inhabitants with permanent residence in the municipality, it is evident that there are at least 20% of people who live within the PLA, have real estate but are not registered here. This confirms both the strong negative impact of suburbanisation in social and environmental areas and the negative impact on sustainable development and local quality of life.
