City council of Klatovy town in the Czech Republic submitted a contract for a new town park project on the place called "Za sv. Jakubem" in 2005. Studio SILVEX represented by Ing. Pavel Borusík won this contract and created a feasibility study as the first step of the project documentation. Till now the study has not been realized because of problematic ownership issues within the concerned area. This diploma thesis strives to solve the question of the up-to-dateness of that project which has been suspended for ten years by now. The main subjects of this thesis have been the project content evaluation, verification of up-to-dateness and to design a new solution respecting current and future needs of the city inhabitants and park users. Literary overview of the current state of the problem deals with public space areas characteristics, city park characteristics, graveyard characteristics including types of graveyards, burials, graves, burial history in the Czech Republic and Jewish cemeteries. The thesis addresses with the impact of the death on survivors and greenery effects as a green place useful for meditation. The graveyard topic is elaborated because of the geographical distance of Klatovy's town's graveyard to the intended park area. Evaluation of detailed data provides the fundamental information about Klatovy and the park place, brief contents and main thoughts of feasibility study "Za sv. Jakubem", own verification of the available documentation including changes in the property relations. All together it had served as a basis for designing new park concept proposal, which responds adequately to demands of park users. The project by Studio SILVEX proposes park place with purely town meaning, containing children playground, in-line skating track and other sport activities. The diploma thesis's park concept transforms the project with focus on scenery locations and relax place for visitors of the nearby town graveyard.

Master of Landscape Architecture / Department of Landscape Architecture/Regional & Community Planning / Alpa Nawre / Race tension has increased in America as contemporary issues occur. Riots and protests are becoming common once again. The research presented shows how park space can help foster diversity and in turn improve race relations in the Kansas City area. The study shows how communities in Kansas City became segregated based on historical laws, regulations, and common day practices that reinforced racial boundaries between communities. Many still feel racial tension stemming from historical events today. A focus on integration within communities can be the first step in creating harmony and healing people who have felt these negative impacts on their lives. A literature review, including historical documents from Kansas City and similarly structured racially divided cities, such as St. Louis, Missouri, Detroit, Michigan, and Chicago, Illinois, were analyzed. Research lead to focusing in on Swope Park and the surrounding community. Swope Park has a complex history of segregation and is located near Troost Avenue, which is one of the greatest racial divide lines in the United States. To the west of Troost Avenue the race is predominantly white while to the east is composed mostly of African Americans. On site observational surveys and short interviews with users of Swope Park were conducted to determine current use, users, and park qualities. Qualtrics Surveys were released to community organization to survey a larger group of people, some of whom might not currently use the park. The analyzed information gathered helped shape an innovative design suggestion and strategy to promote diversity and integration at Swope Park. This research can help shape a diverse future of racially integrated communities in the Kansas City area to promote economic stimuli, break down racial stigmas, and increase education, understanding, and celebration of diverse racial backgrounds.

Ecosystematic methods were used to study synecological problems in the Alpine Zone of Garibaldi Park, British Columbia. The influence of snow pack and its effects upon soils and the distribution of vegetation are considered. The successional trend of plant communities in the subalpine alpine ecotone and alpine zone is presented. The plant succession is closely related to environmental changes, particularly to the duration of the snow pack and soil forming processes. The Phyllodoceto - Cassiopetum mertensianae can be regarded as the zonal community in the Alpine Zone above 5,500 feet. It is shown that alpine zone ranges from 5,500 feet to the highest summits over 8,000 feet. Environmental conditions are correlated with units of vegetation which allow the recognition of twelve plant associations. The associations are arranged in groups which tend to characterize the habitats in which they are found. The associations are grouped as follows:- A. Snow patch group i) Gymnomitrieto - Polytrichetum norvegici a. sub-assoc. gymnomitrieto - polytrichetum norvegici b. sub-assoc. polytrichetosum piliferi ii) Cariceturn nigricantis iii) Sibbaldietum procumbentis B. Chomophytic group i) Caricetum spectabilis ii) Luetkeetum pectinatae iii) Anaphaleto - Lupinetum arctici C. Alpine meadow group i) Mimuleto - Epilobietum latifolii ii) Valerianetum sitchensis D. Rupicolous group i) Junipereto - Penstemonetum menziesii ii) Silenetum acaulis E. Alpine heather group i) Phyllodoceto - Cassiopetum mertensianae F. Krummholz group i) Abieteto - Chamaecyparetum nootkatensis G. Peat bog group i) Sphagnum / Science, Faculty of / Botany, Department of / Graduate
