Hory Matky Boží is a part of village Velhartice which is located close to town Sušice. It is a former mining town with a long history as well as with a development from last century. The empirical research consists of questionnaire survey based on a local identity. The research uncovers meaning of location, identification of inhabitants with this location and satisfaction with living in this location. Basic Outcomes of this survey confirm that identification of local people with this location and its meaning for them are mainly based on natural potential of the location itself. Identification with a place is based on connection with social and cultural capital of the location and also on formalized social capital expressed by the civic engagement.
