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)

explained the persistence of regionalgeography in his The Circumference of Geography (1919). Regionalgeography is an organizing construct for geographical knowledge, and it has naïve appeal non-geographers. However, today's regionalgeography is more
thematic and process-oriented than is classical regionalgeography. - (SLD)
