Abstract
The territory of Slovakia represents a very suitable area for research on regional identities. Despite this fact, the domestic research of regional identities is still only in its infancy. The presented article is a contribution to the research on regional consciousness and identities of the regions in Slovakia. It is based mainly on data from Focusbus 9/2014 survey. In the first part of the paper are briefly introduced the concepts of regional consciousness and identity of the region. Drawing on the above mentioned data, the regional consciousness of the inhabitants of Slovakia is analyzed in the second chapter. The last section is devoted to the identity of four traditional regions of Slovakia (Orava, Liptov, Spiš, Turiec).
Keywords: regional consciousness, identity of the region, Slovakia
