Abstract:

This paper aims to identify the factors affecting the number of completed, under construction and  launched dwellings construction per 1000 inhabitants in Slovakia on the NUTS 3 level in the years 2005-2013 and prepare spatial regression models. Examined characteristics: number of completed, under construction and launched dwellings constructions per 1000 inhabitants, average living area, average monthly wage, unemployment. For comparison of the heterogeneity of individual data was used polarization index (max-min) / average. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used as the degree of dependence of the two indicators. According to the number of sites (n = 8) was also necessary to consider its significance. Moran spatial autocorrelation coefficient (including its significance) was used to measure the degree of spatial autocorrelation of individual indicators. Average dwelling surface showed significant dependence on the average wage only in the years 2009-2011.
