since the 10th century. Two entirely different settlement systems can be identified in Czechia: the centralistic Bohemian settlement system surrounded by a ring of mountains, and the transitional and polycentric Moravian sett lement system. The two lands were physically divided by a border forest. Although they have belonged always to the same state, their autonomy was relatively high until the formation of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1918. In 1948, a new administrative division was introduced, which did not respect the border between the
two lands. Bohemia and Moravia kept their importance as different cultural units only. The main research
question addressed in this paper is how the Bohemian and Moravian identities are perceived by the people
today and whether it makes any sense to consider the historical lands seriously when rethinking the idea of
the Europe of regions.Workplace Institute of Geonics Contact Lucie Gurková, lucie.gurkova@ugn.cas.cz, Tel.: 596 979 354 Year of Publishing 2017 Electronic address http://www.mtafki.hu/konyvtar/kiadv/HunGeoBull2016/HunGeoBull_65_1_2.pdf
