IDENTITIES WITH HISTORICAL REGIONS – ARE THEY ADAPTING TO MODERN ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISION? THE CASE OF UKRAINE
Journal Title: European Spatial Research and Policy - Year 2019, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
Historical regions remain the most common basis for the formation or promotion of regional identities in Europe. However, regions and regional identities are in the process of constant formation and can change significantly in line with new conditions. In this paper we focused on the changes of the spatial spread of identities with historical regions in Ukraine in comparison to the initial boundaries of those. The results show that identities with historical regions are markedly adapting to modern administrative boundaries. At the same time, the symbolic value of historical regions constitutes an essential element of identity building in contemporary administrative regions.
