Blaheta et al. (photo: T. Krejčí, E. Nováková (2×), Z. Říha) Transformation of the identity of a region: Theory and the empirical case of the perceptual regions of Bohemia and Moravia, Czech Republic Petr MAREK a * Abstract By using the concept of perceptual region – an essential part of the identity of a region and a part of every person’s mental map – this paper demonstrates a way to examine the understudied transformation of (the identity of) a region and, specifically, its territorial shape (boundaries). This concept effectively fuses the “institutionalisation of regions” theory and the methodologies of behavioural geography. This case study of the perceptual regions of Bohemia and Moravia shows how and why these historical regions and their boundary/boundaries developed, after a significant deinstitutionalisation by splitting into smaller regions in an administrative reform. Many people now perceive the Bohemian-Moravian boundary according to the newly-emerged regional boundaries, which often ignore old (historical) boundaries. -

Religion and Politics in the Czech Republic: the Roman Catholic Church and the State

E-mail: [email protected] Received: May 22, 2013 Accepted: July 29, 2013 Available online: August 6, 2013 doi:10.11114/ijsss.v1i2.145 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11114/ijsss.v1i2.145 Abstract The objective of this paper consists in describing and analyzing the position of organized, institutionalized religions in the Czech Republic. It focuses on the role of organized religion in the public sphere of the Czech society, and it pays particular attention to the role of the Roman Catholic Church. The principal aim of this paper consists in describing the secularization in the Czech society, both on the micro (individual level of secularization), and the macro level (societal level of secularization). The juxtaposition of the two levels reveals a discrepancy: the individual level of secularization may be considered relatively high, whereas religion persists on the societal level and comes to be publically discussed on several occasions. The juxtaposition of the two levels of secularization is based on the theory by Karel Dobbelaere. It is based on Dobbelaere‟s thesis on the need to distinguish the diversity of the processes connected to secularization on various levels of the society. -

Life in Olomouc Guide for Summer Schools' Students a Word of Welcome from the Rector of Palacký University
Life in Olomouc Guide for Summer Schools' Students A word of welcome from the Rector of Palacký University Since its foundation in 1573, the university in Olomouc has always re- cruited students and academics from many European countries. Due to the large number of foreign students we received, our university gradu- ally evolved into a genuinely multilingual academy with Latin, German and Czech being the dominant tongues. Despite the challenges of history and dramatic discontinuities of the past, in the twenty-first century our university still believes that internationalization renders an endless po- tential to enhance scientific excellence as well as the quality of research and academic training. Under my guidance, Palacký University has strong ambitions to become the most international educational institution in Central Europe in terms of cutting-edge research collaboration, joint and double degree study programs and the number of foreign students. How- ever, internationalization does not only involve headhunting and recruit- ing students across the globe. In doing so, we also receive important side benefits, namely cultural diversity, plurality of judgment and, above all, much needed dialogue and tolerance. I very much hope that in Palacký University you will find a friendly institution, supportive tutors and an in- tellectually stimulating academic environment.

Almost 100% of this region belongs to the Morava River basin and also in terms of technologies for water management the individual parts of this region complement each other. The wider Moravia region thus includes, in addition to the two largest centers of Brno (South Moravian Region) and Olomouc (Olomouc Region), the Zlín Region and parts of the Vysočina Region, the Pardubice Region and the Moravian-Silesian Region, including the regional cities of Zlín, Jihlava and Ostrava. -
