The Czech Republic is comprised of different regions at the sub-national level. These are the historical lands of Bohemia, Moravia, and (part of) Silesia, small ethnographic regions, and administrative units. Their objective hierarchy derives from their former historical role, from their administrative function today, and their regional importance. In this article the authors attempt to describe the subjective hierarchy of these regions in the minds of their inhabitants, drawing on a survey of 1203 respondents from throughout the Czech Republic conducted in 2003 by the Centre for Public Opinion Research. The historical lands of Bohemia and Moravia are two regions whose existence Czechs recognise without question, while Silesia is in a weaker position and garners only two-thirds of the level of recognition accorded the other two historical lands. The cultural or ethnographic regions and the administrative units are on an approximately equal level, which is distinctively lower than that of the three Czech historical lands. More of these small regions are located in Moravia than in Bohemia or Silesia. The best known Czech regions are: Wallachia, Moravian Slovakia, Hana (all of which are in Moravia) and the Region of Khods (Bohemia). The best known region that is neither ethnographical nor one of the administrative units is the former industrial region

The study dealt with the problem of the other European identity as reflected in the English travel writing of the seventeenth century. The crucial question was if any coherent whole, in cultural terms, was distinguished on the mental map of the 17th century English traveller in the area of 'Trans-Rhenic Europe'. The mental map was understood here as a sort of image which is not related to sensory experience. It is considered as creative construction of unknown based on what was read, what was heard, and on past experience. The viewpoints defining units and drawing borders were of cultural character. Firstly, it was interested in traveller's division of known and unknown Europe.Secondly, it was looking for the borders of learned part of Europe drawn on the traveller's mental map. Thirdly, it was focused on characteristics of people given by travellers. Finally, the borders of 'civilization' and 'barbarism' on the mental map of a 17th century traveller were questioned.

The author pointed his attention to this special way of orientation in the terrain and identification of localities. A large semantic analyzes of some crucial words creating various ways of determining proximity has been done. The author used mainly texts of chronicles and charters, two quite distinct types of sources. Their mutual confrontation increased the testifying value of acquired information. He describes the relativem big variety and narrowness of meanings of concrete expressions defining proximity and tries to explain the difference from modern type of usage of similar terms by the relationship between to different concepts of space. The study follows the development of semantic fields of studied terms and depicts the shift after the period of colonization and social and economic changes in the 13th century.

The intention of this paper is threefold: (1) to examine the managers decision processes leading to the internationalization of small and medium enterprises (SME) in Slovakia, (2) to assess the influence of previous experience of managers on their decision to act internationally, and (3) to analyse the adaptation of mental maps in strategic decision. The empirical research was based on a sample of randomly selected SME in Slovak Republic. The findings supported our hypothesis that mental maps play an important role in manager’s decision by foreign markets selection and that previous internationally accumulated experience has a strong impact on market’s perception and manager´s approach towards international strategies. The use of mental maps allowed highlighting of the links between managers experience, risk perception and factors influencing international strategic decisions.

The author follows up to his previous study about ways of determining proximity and pointed his attention to another way of orientation in the terrain and identification of localities in the medieval texts from Czech Lands. Now a large semantic analyzes of some crucial words creating various ways of determining proximity has been done. The author used mainly texts of chronicles and charters, two quite distinct types of sources. Their mutual confrontation increased the testifying value of acquired information. He describes the relatively big variety and narrowness of meanings of concrete expressions determining direction, as well as essential binding of this information with the concrete situation in the terrain illustrating the medieval concept of space perception. The study follows the development of semantic fields of studied terms and depicts the shift after the period of colonization and social and economic changes in the 13th century.
