Regiony v proměnách času a prostoru

Abstract

The contribution presents, in the form of reflexion, the researches on regional identity and identity of a region carried out at the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague. The author contemplates the direction of current culturgeographical and historic-geographical researches and discusses its „new” methodical approaches that have enriched Czech – regional – eography in the course of the last decade. The author lays stress primarily on the combination of extensive and intensive methods of research into regional study and assessment of the process of forming, development and ending of regions namely in a dual context: a) ideas of forming Europe of regions, b) institutionalising of new regions in Czechia.
