This diploma thesis considers gravity models of permanent migrations by selected European countries for the year 2006. For this purpose, the flows of permanent migrations between European countries (NUTS 0 level) as well as internal flows of permanent migrations between regions (NUTS 2 level) were analyzed by selected European countries, and between Slovenian regions (NUTS 3 level). Travel time between regional centres at NUTS 0, NUTS 2 and NUTS 3 level were calculated using network analyst tools (software package ArcGIS). Regression analysis of gravity relations in the basic and extended gravity model was performed by Excel program. The purpose of this research was to analyse, which factors influenced the flows of permanent migrations between the regions of selected countries, as well as migration flows between selected countries of Europe in 2006. In the basic gravity model, the impact of three variables on flows of permanent migrations was analyzed. Those variables were number of inhabitants in a region of origin, number of inhabitants in a region of destination, and travel time between two regions. In the extended gravity model, two variables, i.e. gross domestic product per capita in a region of origin and gross domestic product per capita in a region of destination, were additionally included. For more thorough explanation of the results, graphic presentations in a form of charts and graphs are included
