The article examines cross-cultural differences encountered in the cognitive processing of specific cartographic stimuli. We conducted a comparative experimental study on 98 participants from two different cultures, the first group comprising Czechs (N = 53) and the second group comprising Chinese (N = 22) and Taiwanese (N = 23). The findings suggested that the Central European participants were less collectivistic, used similar cognitive style and categorized multivariate point symbols on a map more analytically than the Asian participants. The findings indicated that culture indeed influenced human perception and cognition of spatial information. The entire research model was also verified at an individual level through structural equation modelling (SEM). Path analysis suggested that individualism and collectivism was a weak predictor of the analytic/holistic cognitive style. Path analysis also showed that cognitive style considerably predicted categorization in map point symbols.

This article analyses the attitude of the Civic Democratic Party towards the implementation of the direct elections of mayors in the Czech Republic through three separated case studies. The first study focuses on party election manifestos and ideological documents. The second study conducts the statistical analysis of both the parliamentary and the media outputs by party members and representatives. Finally, the third study consists of three in-depth semistructured interviews. The results suggest that the Civic Democratic Party takes a negative attitude towards the direct elections of mayors, that it is monolithic within this attitude, that there are no significant attitudinal differences between ordinary members and party elites, and that this negative attitude was even amplified after the fall of the Petr Nečas´s cabinet. The results are critically discussed within the context of the rising popularity of the direct elections in Czech society.
