Regional Identity in the Land of Năsăud. In this study we discussed the features of territorial identity in the Land of Năsăud only for the third spatial hypostasis of this region, from both a chronological and a spatial perspective. History, geography, sociology, and psychology studies facilitated an interdisciplinary approach that was justified if we took into account what we wanted to verify and to demonstrate. Because the process of establishing the limits of the Land of Năsăud was a difficult one from the beginning, having in view the varied situations brought up by numerous books and articles, as well as people’s perceptions upon the space they considered as their own and that belonging to their neighbours, we decided to begin a more demanding approach, and this proved to be both efficient and relevant. We drew the conclusion that people’s pride was a normal feeling of attaching value to the place and region where they were born. The Năsăud Military Border District and their cultural tradition came to explain local and regional pride.
