Cinema was a major phenomenon, and a favorite pastime in the 20th century, is so well in the modern era 21st century? Still new movies are filming that can be seen in cinemas. Development of cinema attendance is but a very uncertain and volatile in recent years. Therefore, I decided to dedicate this work to closer analysis of attendance of Prague cinemas. Prague has the most of cinemas of all the Czech cities and potential viewer is indeed a wide selection, and it is therefore interesting to explore further attendance in Prague cinemas. The aim of this thesis is to identify and further analyze how attendance of Prague cinemas evolved in the past six years, to compare the attendance and sales between classic cinemas and multiplexes and on the basis of these findings, formulate estimates of attendance for the future and try to come up with advice that would cinemas helped attract more viewers. Using a questionnaire survey and qualitative research then see how often Prague inhabitants go to the cinema, and this research also help me to get more information about the characteristics of moviegoers.

The object of the thesis is to assess, how changes in the number of live births, namely drop in the 90' of the 20th century, affecting the number of students entering the first classes in public elementary schools in Prague 10. Furthermore, the thesis focuses on, whether the number of live births affects the number of students leaving the high school or conservatory in 5th and 7th year and whether leaving more girls or boys. The thesis consists of two main parts. First part deals with the development of Czech primary education, especially after 1989. There is also a characteristic of the area of Prague 10 together with each of primary schools, for which the analysis is performed. The second part begins with a description of development in birth-rates and in the primary education in the Czech Republic as a whole and then in Prague 10. First analysis focuses on the relationship between the number of live births and the number of students entering the first year. Further, there is also an analysis of the relationship between the number of live births and the number of students leaving in the fifth or seventh year while they entering the high school or conservatory. The relationship between the birth-rates and primary education in Prague 10 has been demonstrated only in relation to the number of students entering the first grade, while the relation to the number of students entering to high school or conservatory was detected. On this basis, it can be concluded that the number of students in primary schools is dependent on the birth-rates in the region. In the Appendix there are samples of two reports on which basis were obtained the data for primary education in Prague 10.

This thesis explores the question of the decentralization processes between institutions and other parties involved in auditing and monitoring of the structural funds of the EU. I evaluate the present functional relations of these subjects using document analysis. The thesis follows two levels of analysis, which are compared in the end. The first level concerns the general setting of the systems of relations between union bodies and member states. The second one presents specific situations in the operational program Prague Competitiveness. The thesis disproves the initial hypothesis and claim that the relations on the supranational level tend to be more deconcentrated than decentralized, whereas the system at the national level shows more decentralization characteristics in this specific case.

Prague homesteads (agricultural or farm buildings, later summer houses and mansions, manufactories or villas) have become a part of the City of Prague during the urban development, or have been destroyed. Nowadays, still preserved homesteads are significant historical monuments, but also landmarks of the urban landscape and the important source of local identity, and therefore worthy of conservation. Nevertheless, it is crucial to find their modern utilization and to maintain their cultural-historical values. The aim of this master's thesis is to sum up possibilities of renovation and utilization of poorly maintained Prague homesteads and to formulate recommendations to owners, investors and other people participating in animation process of these buildings based on the analysis of examples of still renovated Prague homesteads.

This thesis lies in an analysis of a participative budget realization at the Prague 10 municipal district in a context of deliberative democracy. This is a case study stemming from a qualitative research based on an analysis of key documents and semi- structured interviews. Deliberative and participatory democracy - whose features are the crucial elements in a participatory budgeting process - serve as a theoretical basis of this thesis. In the empirical part the thesis focuses on causes of the participatory budgeting implementation and the laid down methodology approved by the Prague 10 municipal assembly in June 2015. Neither rules for proposal submissions nor the time schedule of the process are omitted. The thesis deals with different phases and the future outlook as well. An integral part of the thesis is the analysis of the actors who played key roles in the process. Apart from the case study the thesis maps the use of the participatory budgeting both abroad and in other Czech towns and cities.

The aim of this diploma thesis was to find out what consequences the forced closures in 2020 had on Prague's museums and galleries and how these institutions managed to adapt in the online world. For this purpose, I chose the methods of a questionnaire survey and an interview. I contacted a total of 64 Prague's museums and galleries, from which I received 32 responses. The results point to far-reaching problems that forced closures have meant for these institutions. Even after reopening, visitor numbers did not return to the state before the covid-19 pandemic broke out. Nevertheless, none of the respondents is in immediate danger of extinction in the near future. The adaptation of Prague's museums and galleries in the online world turned out to be more optimistic. Institutions were able to create a whole range of interesting online projects that caught the attention of their...
