摘要:Bohemia and Moravia are historical lands, which constitute Czechia (together with a small part of Silesia) since the 10th century.Two entirely diff erent sett lement systems can be identifi ed in Czechia: the centralistic Bohemian sett lement 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 diff erent 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.
