title: [Migration flows and the regional structure of Slovakia:  a hierarchical regionalization].
abstract: "In this paper an attempt has been made to gain some insight into the regional structure of Slovakia using a...matrix of migration flows between administrative districts for the 1981-1985 period.... The results of the functional regionalization are important at least in three aspects. Firstly, they demonstrate that in general a hierarchy of functional migration regions can be identified in Slovakia.... The second important result refers to a relatively numerous group of cosmopolitan districts....Finally, it can be noted that the hierarchical clustering procedure has produced spatially continuous functional regions...."
