"There are many opinions and methods of measurement and evaluation of disparities between states or regions at national and European level. The methods differ in structure of using the indicators of disparities and ways of their processing. The cluster analysis is a specific method that is appropriate for evaluation of disparities and represents one of the multivariate statistical methods. The main goal of the paper is to classify the Visegrad Four Countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) to homogeneous units (clusters) in comparison with Germany and Austria according to the similarity of selected indicators of economic, social and territorial development and evaluate the level of disparities in reference period 2000-2010 with focus of three milestones years (2000, 2005 and 2010). The theoretical part of the paper focuses on selected methods of the disparities measurement and evaluation. The empirical part of the paper deals with the evaluation and comparison of disparities in the Visegrad Four Countries, Germany and Austria by cluster analysis." .
