Description The author attempts to link the research on territorial administrative division to the research on the history of geographical knowledge using the example of the 1949 Czechoslovak administrative reform. The issue of the influence of contemporary scientific knowledge on the output of the reform is discussed using the inspiring approaches of science and technological studies. Therefore the attention is not primarily paid to the approved delineation of regions, but to the expert regionalization, which became the basis for the discussion on the final delineation of regions (the so called Central Trade Union Council regionalization). The interpretation in this paper does not view the territorial administrative reform as a single act, but as a part of a wider project of the transformation of the state’s space, which was closely linked to the process of the transformation of Czechoslovak society after the Second World War. In the context of the project of the transformation of state’s space, a new production network of dominant knowledge was formed, when a crucial connection occurred: a linkage between planning and the issue of spatial division. Narrowing of the issue of space down to the issue of planning led to new approaches to the division of space and significantly influenced the conceptualization and representation of space and its division
