Abstract: Regions in the Czech Republic, the same as in most European countries, show in their rural areas a considerable difference rate from points of view demographic, social and economic as well as from point of view of infrastructure. The paper deals with a proposal of a suitable methodological approach of regions comparison in frame of rural development and agriculture indicators. This methodological approach is based on multivariate statistical analysis using composite indicators. Partial aim is to analyze disparities among regions at a level NUTS 4 in Královéhradecký region in light of agriculture and the situation in rural space. Identification and a subsequent analysis of these differences and a determination of a certain sequence of regions and their categorization can be beneficial for definition of trouble shooting regions and better support aiming. In the paper is also evaluated current regional policy applied in observed NUTS 4 in relation with disparity analysis results and categorization.
