It
deals with the definition of small towns, their geographical positions, demographic
characteristics and functions in the national settlement system. A typology of small
towns aimed at individual pillars of their sustainability is one of the results of the paper.
The article discusses the position of small towns as part of the urban world and their
position as a part of the countryside. It concludes that small towns are functionally
important as rural centres. However, differences between urban and rural seem to be
less important than differences among individual types of the Czech countryside
(suburban, intermediate, inner periphery, borderland).
