Abstract

The paper aims to present findings from the research on perceptions of local actors in terms of immigration, emigration and social interaction by Slovak and Ukrainian respondents. We were interested in the respondents' opinions on the extent to which they perceived these movements on the Slovak-Ukrainian border. Respondents answered three basic questions concerning the perception rate of immigration/emigration, the perception rate for work across borders and the perception rate of social interaction between Ukraine and the Slovak Republic. Respondents' responses to these variables were captured through a seven-point scale of responses.

Keywords: border studies, cross-border cooperation, local actors, barriers
