Proměny hodnotových orientací a sebehodnocení obyvatel Hlučínska a České republiky

of the inhabitants of buffer zones. It is based on the historical development of the Hlučínsko
region and the Czechoslovakia, later the Czech Republic. A set of questions is formulated based
on the developmental differences between the two territories. A survey was carried out in 2014
of 604 respondents of the Hlučínsko region and 1000 respondents of the entire Czech Republic.
From the point of view of value orientation, the results of the survey show Hlučínsko region
inhabitants to be still different from those of the entire Czech Republic, without, however, showing
substantial differences between the two youngest age cohorts. It is the middle age cohort that
plays the key role in the changes of value orientation. In the Hlučínsko region, changes in value
orientation are mainly due to the increasing role of education. Self assessment of the Hlučínsko
region inhabitants combines traditionalism and openness to change. It may be a consequence of
their ability to adapt to the pressure of the administration of the respective state to which they
belonged. On the basis of the data obtained, it can be concluded that the youngest age cohort of
Hlučínsko region inhabitants is already integrated into Czech society.
