Territorial identity of a region: A review of data collection techniques
Original language description
This scoping review focuses on methodological approaches and, in particular, data collection techniques, for investigating part of the identity of a region ? the territorial identity (boundaries) ? within the field of new regional geography. The paper builds on a continuously expanding compilation of studies from academic databases and supplementary reference searches in geographically oriented journals. Reviewing 76 articles, it identifies the principal data collection techniques, including the utilisation of secondary sources (e.g. lit-erature and maps or databases of place names) and strategies for obtaining primary data with questioning. These represent two analytical perspectives: indirect (secondary data) and direct (primary data) identifica-tion of territorial identity. The techniques are analysed concerning methodological approaches, including the use of territorial identity markers or territorial identity perception, as well as in terms of various scales and research character (single or multiple regions examination). The findings demonstrate that secondary data are predominantly used for delimiting regions through territorial identity markers whereas primary data are employed mainly to delimit regions reflecting territorial identity perception. Furthermore, the choice of data is not inherently dependent on region scale, as even world regions can be studied using questioning. Additionally, the absence of temporal analysis and the under-representation of mixed research designs in the studies suggest avenues for future research. Integrating diverse data collection techniques and methodological approaches might capture the concept of the region better, offering valuable insights for theoretical advance-ment and practical applications.
