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.

  • Czech Republic Heart of Europe Location
    Czech Republic Heart of Europe Location • The Czech Republic is a landlocked country in Central Europe. The country is bordered by Germany to the west, Poland to the north, Austria to the south and Slovakia to the east. • Capital, with 1.3 million inhabitants, is Prague. • Population: 10 562 214 (census 2011), density 134/km2 • Currency: Czech crown, Kč (CZK) • Language: Czech (Slavic) • Area: 78 866 km2 Geography • Map with traditional regions Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and current administrative regions • Big cities: Brno, Ostrava, Plzeň, Liberec, Olomouc, Ústí nad Labem, České Budějovice, Hradec Králové, Pardubice Nature • The Czech landscape is exceedingly varied. Bohemia, to the west, consists of a basin drained by the Elbe (Czech: Labe) and the Vltava (or Moldau) rivers, surrounded by mostly low mountains, such as the Krkonoše range of the Sudetes. The highest point in the country, Sněžka at 1,602 m, is located here. • Moravia, the eastern part of the country, is also quite hilly. It is drained mainly by the Morava River, but it also contains the source of the Oder River (Czech: Odra). Climate • The Czech Republic has a temperate continental climate, with relatively hot summers and cold, cloudy and snowy winters. The temperature difference between summer and winter is relatively high, due to the landlocked geographical position. • At the highest peak of Sněžka (1,602 m), the average temperature is only −0.4 °C, whereas in the lowlands of the South Moravian Region, the average temperature is as high as 10 °C. The country's capital, Prague, has a similar average temperature, although this is influenced by urban factors.

It is 10.1515/ngoe-2016-0005 possible to distinguish various types of these systems. One of these typologies is based on the assessment of innovation deficiencies. There are three types of regions: metropolitan, peripheral, and old industrial. Metropolitan regions can be characterized by a high level of research, innovation, and patent activity. The aims of this paper are to find relevant indicators that can be used as the basis for defining metropolitan regional innovation systems and using them for the identification of Czech metropolitan regions. The results of the point method combined with the cluster analysis showed that the capital city, Prague, as well as the South Moravian, Pardubice, Central Bohemian, Pilsen, and Liberec Regions can be defined as metropolitan regions. Key words: regional innovation system, knowledge, innovation, region, Czech Republic, metropolitan region 1 Introduction Innovation is an essential prerequisite for economic prosperity and wealth creation, because it has a significant influence on socio-economic development and its long-term sustainability.

  • Action Plan South Moravia
    D.T1.4.7 Action plan of the South Moravian Version 2.0 Region 2/2020 Revised version 1. Introduction The development of subnodes in peri-urban regions adjacent to primary TEN-T hubs is a proper new approach to better connect the hinterland to TEN-T nodes. These secondary hubs require more attention in view of making public transport more attractive. The jointly elaborated SubNodes strategy formulates basic principles how regions should adjust their passenger mobility policy to better respond to these new opportunities for medium-sized cities in the surroundings of primary hubs. Based on the SubNodes Strategy, the respective subnodes per region was identified and assessed. The present Action plan describes in detail the implemented pilot actions which was carried out in the South Moravian Region during April 2019 and December 2020. 2. Regional Overview and Status Quo before Pilot Action The two sites of pilot actions (Židlochovice Town and Hustopeče Town) are situated in the Southwest (NUTS- 2) within South Moravian Region (NUTS-3), Czech Republic. Map 1: Regional overview map Strana 1 The main strength of both regional public transport hubs is a high-quality of public transport as a part of Integrated Transport System of the South Moravian Region. Also the high support of municipalities and authorities means a huge encouragement for KORDIS JMK to implement this transport change. On the other hand, weakness of both sites was absence of connection direct to TEN-T rail line and not direct electrified railway connection to Brno. As opportunity we may consider already existing rail line and for commuters shortening of travel time and better transport availability for the whole area.
