Abstract: |
This article introduces a research carried out in eight
Central European countries (which were considered “Central European” by the authors and referred to as Central European in the most relevant literature), where students marked the borders of Central Europe using mental maps based on their subjective perception. The article presents the resulting region delimitation, aggregated on the basis of these maps, compares the differences in the delimitation
of Central Europe in individual countries and suggest some explanations of these differences. |
