MODERN PERCEPTION OF BERLIN CITY STRUCTURE
Abstract
Field research carried out in February 2015 in Berlin included mental mapping and interviewing local people. Basing on these materials the processes of territorial identity transformation of Berliners and changes that occurred in the society, especially in the capital, after the unification of Germany were studied. Particular attention was paid to the presence and significance of the border between West and East Berlin in the minds of people. It is shown that even after 25 years of the city reunification the border still exists and is comparable in importance to other elements of the urban landscape.
