The factors that influence spatial identity are regional economy, social institutions, mass media, administration divisions, and sport. The research tries to realize three aims : to define the term identity region as an element of geographical
regionalization, to determine the factors creating the regional identity and identity regions, to find out the spatial reach of the important elements and on that basis work out the regionalization of Slovenia by identity regions. - (IKR)

on the differences in the perception of the following territorial dichotomies: the capital – the peripheries, the city and town – the village, the borderland previously inhabited by Germans (commonly referred to as the Sudetes Region and known even more widely
as Sudetenland) – the interior of the state, and the perception of the cultural, historical, religious and administrative regions. All of the issues discussed are documented by statistical data and the author’s own research, as well as observations made

The regional identity can be an useful tool for creating regional strategies or to shape the individual’s position in time and space. The issue of regional identity emerged in Western geography approximately in the 1970s. However, its position
in Czech human geography is not embedded sufficiently up to now. The main goal of the study is to evaluate the development of the research of regional identity in Czech human geography. - (IKR)

The paper presents the meaning of transport for shaping space and region as one of the most significant spatial structures on the Earth’s surface. After the theoretical conceptualization of transport as a factor for shaping space and verifying
of its importance for the shaping of spatial development of Slovenia, in theory we did the same for region and from a practical point of view for the Central Slovenian region. - (L'A.).

This article is using a conceptual understanding of a region based on the combination of territorial, symbolic and institutional configurations. Regional identity that permeates through all of these layers is viewed as one of the most important
elements of the very existence of the region and its recognition in the regional system. This paper contributes to the discussion on the importance of regional identity in regional development. The case study of the Bohemian Paradise region proves
the significant influence of landscape features on the process of regional identity reproduction. - (EN)

This paper studies how the identity discourses of new regions in the Netherlands are constructed by administrators and other stakeholders by using elements linked to the identity of more established spatial entities. Especially important
are the selective downloading of characteristics from the nations and regions to which they belong and the uploading of specific qualities from the cities and areas within their boundaries. It analyses how in Greenport Duin–en Bollenstreek as well in Het Groene Woud
and BrabantStad the identity discourses of new regions have been constructed through selective association with the complex layers of more established spatial identities nearby.
