| Title of contribution: |
| Vernacular regions in Czechia |
Abstract:
Contemporary Czech regional policy supports the emergence of new regions (regional initiatives) more or less embedded in regional system. Regarding their purpose, many of these initiatives are connected to the regional development of the area. They are involved in the strategy planning and often they even shape the planning process directly and produce the strategy documents. Furthermore, they produce a variety of regional information which are presented through diverse medias to general public. In recent years, many studies confirmed the importance of regional consciousness of inhabitants for the plurality of aspects of private and public community life. Thus, the ability of people to orientate themselves in the plurality of regional information remain as a critical question in the process of regional identity formation and in the articulation of the sense of self-belonging. In the planned contribution I would like to discuss these issues on the examples from Czechia and based on the survey among geography students.
