Regional Identity of the Population in the Euroregion Nisa
Zich, František
Using biographic research methods the population in the Czech, German and Polish parts of euroregion were studied. The results show that for the time being no cross ůborder regional identity exist and each of the national parts can be characterised by a distinctiveness in the regional identity and mentality. The populationŽs identification with the region in the Czech part is generally based on the its environmental and aesthetic qualities. The least favourable situation for regional identity is evident in those parts in which the industry has been liquidated.

Working-class fraction of middle classes under socialism
Zich, František
The contribution focuses on the rise of the socialist middle classes from politically engaged workers after 1948 in the Czech part of the Nisa Euroregion. Rising career tracks have been documented: direct progress to the senior post, preparation of labour intelligence, support by accepting children from working-class families to universities. According to intergenerational biographical comparison, life's careers showed a shift from the working-class way of life. This socialistic middle class gained social and cultural capital and successfully adapted to the new conditions after year 1989.

The cross-border community on the Czech-German border
Zich, František
We focus on the territorial community delimited by the border with the Federal Republic of Germany. For the purposes of this work, this territory has been defined as the whole area of the districts that border with Germany at least partially. There is no doubt the area, which lies along the almost 1000 km long border, is considerably differential. The differences result especially from economic and thus also social factors , apart from that, however, the whole territory is also significantly differential in terms of geography.
