Description :
The general mental map of Czech Silesia was drawn on the basis of individual respondents maps. It shows the care, domain and peripheral areas of Silesia in the minds of its inhabitants. The method was combined with interviews aimed at establishing respondents sense of regional identity. It is relatively strong but only among elderly people. As every regionally based sentiment Silesian identity is now confronted with forces of globalisation. - (MS)
