An important issue of research concerning the geography of Poland and the region is to determine the extent of a region in an urban area with which the pupils identify themselves. To this end, surveys were conducted in two major Polish cities: Kielce and Poznań. The surveys were conducted among pupils from lower secondary schools, situated in different parts of the city: in the centre, in a typical housing estate, and in the suburbs. The existence and the extent of a region with which people identify themselves are dependent on individual perceptions and the ability to evaluate an area. The research conducted is indicative of the fact that lower secondary school pupils mostly identify themselves with places in the nearest area - the street, the housing estate, the district. For this reason, in the implementation of the knowledge connected with the geography of Poland the teachers should apply a kind of gradation, i.e. continuing teaching, beginning with imparting knowledge about the closest area, through one's own housing estate and city, in accordance with the rule of increasing the difficulty - from what is close to what is far, from what is known to what is unknown. This means that the implementation of the tasks of regional education requires both the teaching of the geography of Poland and providing education about one's nearest region.
