Summary/Abstract: Although the term “genius loci” has been known and used since ancient civilizations, it was considered almost unimportant in a technically industrialized and competitive world. However, the pursuit of a more dignified life for the human communities has again revealed its undeniable importance as an inner cohesion force, applied in partial territorial-social structures. In an integrating world, it may be a useful tool to transform historically created hierarchical structures into more humanly functional fractal structures. This possibility is documented in the study by regional examples from Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
