The concept of regional identity in the research of socially constructed regions: a multiscale perspective
Nikischer, Richard
It has been approximately three decades since "new" approaches to studying regions began to appear in the context of socio-cultural turn in geography. From the perspective of the so-called new regional geography, the region does not represent a naturally given spatial unit nor a semantically empty construction of the analysis of the society's spatial organization. The "new" regional geographer perceives regions as dynamic social struc- tures linked to a collective consciousness. In this respect, the research of regions represents a study of the social organization of space. While research of the spatial (geographic) organization of society in Czech geography has a rather long tradition, a similar statement cannot be made regarding the research into the social organization of space (the other side of the relationship between space and society). Despite the fact that even in Czechia the number of academics interested in the process of the institu- tionalization of regions is gradually growing, i.e. about how and why regions are constructed/deconstructed as a part of social life, domestic research of the social organization of space is still only in its early stages. The present doctoral dissertation represents a relevant contribution to the current debate regarding the issues of the social...

Regionální identita obyvatel mikroregionu Jemnice
KRATOCHVÍLOVÁ, Barbora
This bachelor thesis examines the degree of regional identity of the inhabitants of the micro-region of Jemnice. The area of interest was chosen based on its specific geographic location. The first part is devoted to the definition and characterization of key concepts such as the region, the perception of geographic space and its regional identity. The practical part of the thesis is based on a questionnaire survey and an analysis of the obtained data was carried out. In the framework of the survey, the citizens were consulted within individual hierarchical levels of administrative units, patriotism, their susceptibility to migration and / or, for example, the demarcation of the micro-region by the population. Within the interest area, the prevailing national identity was identified, followed by a regional identity.
