Abstract:
The main field of study regarding location theories is to define location factors and to determine
the optimal location assuming rational behaviour of economic entities. The issue is to find out
what place is suitable for localization of the economic entity in order to maximize its profits
in relation to its spatial orientation. In the theoretical part, location theories for industry and
services with the impact of location factors are first briefly described. Mainly their development
and significance in the competitive environment is discussed because the right selection of location
factors can actually help to increase the competitiveness of regions. This paper analyses the
actual soft regional and local location factors in individual economic sectors and focuses on the
secondary and tertiary sector because the primary sector is affected by other than the examined
factors. The aim of this paper is to identify factors that affect industry and are more important
to the service sector. Identifying these factors can actually help to attract new businesses and
to increase regions competitiveness. It is, therefore, necessary to determine the key factors that
have stimulating effects on the development of individual regions.
