The article deals with the assessment of relations between the living place and the place of birth. Relations are examined by districts. The investigation results into delimitation of migration regions at high hierarchical levels. Comparison with the results of complex socio-geographical regionalizalion is carried out, too. As regards territorial organization, migration processes and other regional processes show a great degree of similarity. Chief regional centres tend to be quite stable. The results obtained can well contribute to the topical issue of new administrative regions and indicate suitable solutions.
The study comprises selected results of a Delphi research (subjective judgements on the future on a collective expert basis) on international migration between Central/Eastern and Western European countries. 70 (in the first Delphi round) and 39 (in the second Delphi round) scholars and officers, especially sociologists, economists, geographers and demographers, dealing with the topic of migration, from all over Europe took part.

The process of demographic revolution had specific features on the territory of the Czech Republic. It started in the first half of the 19th century and ended between Two World Wars. The course of this process corresponded with the geographical position of Czech Lands in Europe. The demographic situation after the World War II was affected unfavourably by the political appurtenance of former Czechoslovakia to the Soviet block, especially in the field of mortality.
