“…Most Czech (and Slovak) authors focus on the analysis of the inhabitants-territory relationship and its measuring (Nikischer 2013;Bucher, Ištoková 2015) or on the study thereof in a specific context such as second housing (Fialová et al 2010) and peripheral regions (Chromý, Janů 2003;Chromý, Skála 2010). Special attention is also paid to its differentiation based on the continuity of socio-cultural development, especially in the context of areas affected by the expulsion of Czech Germans after WWII (Osoba 2008;Chromý et al 2009;Šerý 2014). In connection with this recently introduced conceptual framework, many researches deal with individual partial shapes of region and their imprints in people's consciousness.…”

The contemporary regional geography paradigm is characterized by emphasizing the socially constructed nature of regions. However, the discussion on the conceptualization of region is very rich, it does not reach universal conclusion. Such a universal conceptualization is probably neither possible nor desirable. This paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discussion. It examines the various approaches towards region with special focus on the conceptualization of the institutionalization of the region based on the heuristic literature review and it attempts to propose more complex (but not ultimate) theoretical conceptualization of region that should enable to bridge the duality of region; addressed as an "animate", constantly changing, phenomenon which also makes it a resource for regional actors to meet their particular goals, one that people may perceive and feel attached to while further mediating their images thereof. The paper builds upon the Lefebvre's theory of the societal production of space and the Paasi's theory of the institutionalization of region and presents the idea of the societal production of region. It argues that any complex approach to region must incorporate three levels of region: "given" (practice of region), "made" (representation of region) and "perceived" (idea of region). Better understanding of the concept of region is still more necessary and relevant especially due to the increasing pressure on the applicability of regional research. Thus, the paper suggests the closer insight into the interrelation of three mentioned levels of region is crucial from the view of the contemporary state of art. This text is also published in Czech as the official on-line supplement of the article.

“…Transformation of perceived territorial shape (boundaries) may be studied based on (1) directly investigated individual perceptions using Lynch-type mental maps (Lynch, 1960), when respondents are asked to draw their perceptions of a region at the map (Siwek & Kaňok, 2000;Semian, 2012;Šerý & Šimáček, 2012;Chalupa, 2015;Marek, 2015;Markeliuk, Gomaniuk, & Sarkisov, 2019;Marek, 2020b), (2) regional consciousness of population, asking people about their identification with the region, their knowledge on the region and attitudes to the region (Siwek & Kaňok, 2000;Šerý, 2014;Vaishar & Zapletalová, 2016;Melnychuk & Gnatiuk, 2018), and (3) markers of identity of a region -regional features (symbols and institutions) (Więckowski, 2021).…”

This paper demonstrates a way to examine the transformation of the territorial shape of the region. The official symbols (flags and emblems) of modern administrative units of Ukraine were analyzed for the usage of heraldic symbols of historical regions that lost their administrative status a century before. The results confirm more or less constant symbolic reproduction of historical regions, but their spatial shapes has changed under the influence of new administrative boundaries. Simultaneously, in certain cases historical heraldry loses its former meaning and is involved into the development and strengthening of identities with new administrative regions rather than historical ones.

“…The research was conducted on the territory of two self-government regions (kraj), which was then further delineated according to lower-level units of state administration and local self-government situated within the cross-border region between Central Bohemia and Eastern Bohemia, an economically underdeveloped area that is almost exactly consistent with the definition of inner peripheries provided by Musil (1988) and Musil and Müller (2008). Unlike the vast majority of outer (border) peripheries, which were impacted by the post-World War II expulsion of the German population and subsequent resettlement with new inhabitants (Kučera, Chromý 2012;Kučera, Kučerová 2012;Šerý 2014;Šerý, Šimáček 2013), this is an area that has enjoyed continuity in its development. Here, as across all of Czechia, it is possible to feel the effects of the political 'central-place' system of residential settlements set up in the state-socialist period.…”

The paper aims to analyze the “soft” factors of local development and to understand the nature of the socio-economic differences between municipalities in an inner periphery in Bohemia. The partial goals are to explain which internal conditions are conductive to the formation of these ties of cooperation, to reveal which power structures are involved in the ties of cooperation, and to assess the direction of these interactions. The conclusions are formulated and discussed in relation to the concept of institutional thickness. Our research confirmed the key differentiating role of mayors in local interactions and the importance of administrative boundaries – especially boundaries of self-government regions. These boundaries had the effect of constraining the formation of formal and informal relations between actors in territorial development. The research also provides evidence of the continued existence of links between municipalities that were formed during the communist period. The data come from the author’s field survey among the mayors.
