This diploma thesis is analyzing accomodation capacities in agrotourism facilities based in Southern Moravia. This thesis analyses accomodation facilities at Znojemska, Velkopavlovicka and Mikulovska wine trails. In the thesis are analysed accomodation offers per type of accomodation, seasonality, prices per accomodation, additional services offered on each wine trail. Offers are also compared among wine trails.

The diploma thesis analyses the current state of the tourism both in France and Corsica and other more it deals with the importance of the landscape and the natural environment for tourism in Corsica. The theoretical part defines tourism and presents different kinds of tourism (hiking). In the practical part there is analysed specifically the tourism in France, especially one French region -- Corsica is analysed more detailed. The aim of the diploma thesis is to point out the importance of the tourism both for France and for Corsica, to describe the current state of tourism and to analyse the possibilities of its development. More attention is given to the hiking and trekking and possibilities of its development on the Mediterranean island of Corsica.

This thesis deals with creation of a geographic information system for two wine cycle route near by Mikulov. The main requirements were visualization of line and point symbols and research possibilities of publication data on the internet. Data, information and photos were collected in the field by the device Zeno 20 from the company Leica. This thesis was created in software ArcGIS for Desktop 10.4.1. from the company Esri and includes formation database queries and simple analysis over the measured data. Final GIS is available to everyone and allows to display the course of the route according to various criterions and points of interest for the needs of wine cyclist.

This master thesis deals with the design and creation of a geographic information system focusing on cyclists. For the purpose of this thesis was processed southern part of the Znojmo wine trail. GIS will be used for display during route according to various criteria and interesting tourist destinations that are located on the route. The individual objects photographs were taken and information collected in the field. Cyclists GIS was created in ArcGIS 10.1 for Desktop from ESRI, which allows to perform analysis of these data.

The objective of diploma thesis is composition of operational geographic information system of Moravian Wine Trails. This paper includes description of data collection process, data processing in ArcGIS software and map server Marushka. Data presentation was performed by demonstration of most popular export opportunities.

The problems of litter are now getting to the forefront of attention in the realm of waste research. The phenomenon of littering is monitored especially in towns, but not so much outside the urbanized areas. Waste represents, for both esthetic and conservationist reasons, an undesirable phenomenon. This holds true for the protected areas in particular. This Master's Thesis is concerned with the analysis of litter, which should be the first step in the prevention and solution of the problems of littering. Three protected landscape areas and two national parks were chosen for this survey. Two tourist trails were selected in each protected area - the main and the minor one. The collection of litter was carried out in spring, summer and autumn. Collected waste was categorized at first and then a number of pieces, weight and volume were set for each category concerned. The largest amount of litter was collected in the National park Krkonoše and the smallest in the Protected landscape area Kokořínsko. The largest number of litter pieces is represented by cigarette waste, followed by plastic and hygienic waste. PET bottles were the most common type of litter pieces found in the category of beverage containers. Three quarters of all litter was found on the main trails. The most litter was collected in the...

Bison produce trails, wallows, and trample grounds, visible in satellite imagery disturbing ~27,500 m2 at Yellowstone National Park (YNP; in USA) and ~10,700 m2 in Białowieża National Forest (BNF; in Poland and Belarus), and, without anthropogenic land change, these mega-traces persist in sand-dominated substrates for 6-26 years. The average wallow size ranges from ~17-40 m2, whereas the average trample ground varies in size from ~140-300 m2. Trail segments typically extend for ~260-380 m, but the longest trails at YNP traverse >3 km. Estimates of track volume indicate for a standard herd of 200 animals, over a daily distance of 10 km ~4000 m3 is pediturbated. Low sinuosity values of 1.16-1.10 characterize trails, and wallows display high aspect ratios >0.7, helping distinguish bison traces on the landscape. During the Holocene, as many as 40 million bison inhabited North America, so this study provides a qualitative baseline for considering the geomorphic ability of large ungulates.Caliper measurements indicate the surface expression of simulated bison tracks varies depending on the moisture content of the medium. The slope of the marginal ridges (MR) in dry (0% moisture by volume), moist (~10% moisture by volume) and wet (saturated) sand differ around the track perimeter, although the minimum slope of the marginal ridge increases with moisture content (dry sand ~10 cm, moist sand ~40 cm, wet sand ~20 cm). The maximum MR slope (~80°) occurs in a moist substrate. The aspect ratio of prints in wet sand is 0.60, reflecting the most elliptical hoofprint, whereas moist sand displayed the most circular track with an aspect ratio of 0.76. The interdigital angle decreased by ~5° with increasing moisture (dry = 56°, wet ≈ 51°). Photos document in dry sand, deformation fronts 2-3 cm in height are present, whereas in moist sand, transverse and radial cracks are present. In wet sand, debris flows form. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) imaging reveals subsurface anomalies interpreted as undertracks and normal micro-faults. In dry sand, two poorly-defined sets of undertracks with 1 cm relief are visible 3-4 cm beneath the tracking surface. Normal faulting is absent. In moist and wet sand, 4-5 sets of detailed undertracks showing 2-3 cm of relief deform sediments 7-8 cm in depth. Several normal faults are present in moist and wet hoofprints. Combined surface and subsurface observations may indicate the moisture content of paleo-tracking surfaces, particularly if the substrate is saturated. When hoofprints are formed in an unfrozen substrate, freezing increases preservation potential. Partially thawed tracks are resistant to deflation (wind erosion), maintaining outlines of digits and the medial pocket until late stages of deflation. Billions of ungulate traces formed in aeolian periglacial settings may be preserved. Tracks exposed to aeolian action exhibit higher heavy-mineral concentrations (HMC) along marginal ridges (MR), which are detectable using low-field bulk magnetic susceptibility (MS). In situ tracks from Delaware and Virginia (USA) display marginal HMCs 3.7-10x greater than background MS, whereas in laboratory, simulated hoofprints show marginal HMCs 1.7x above background MS. HMCs readily occur in nature, so MS measurements of tracking surfaces may quantitatively indicate the length or intensity of aeolian processes. This experiment demonstrates hoofprints indented through a <1 mm thick HMC and subsequently exposed to 1 min wind gusts of 5-10 m/s form HMCs on the scale of 10’s of µSI. Billions of ungulate tracks displaying marginal HMCs are probably preserved, potentially providing a detailed regional paleo-wind record. / Geoscience

In this study investigation was made concerning the etiology of the foot trails that thread their way through Wasatch Forest lands in Salt Lake county. The time delimitation was 1847 to 1975.The origin of the majority of these trails dates back to the nineteenth century and is closely tied to the efforts of pioneers who labored to wrest a living from semi-arid land. Early lumbering, livestock operations, mining activities, water collection systems, and pioneer recreation all provided impetus for trail development. In a sense these trails are a kind of anthology of human endeavor.Passing into the twentieth century it was found that with the exception of emergency relief programs, particularly the Civilian Conservation Corps, very little development has occurred and trail maintenance has been inadequate.Trail prestige increased in the wake of the surge of interest that found legislative expression in the National Trails System Act of 1968. However, in recent years they have been subordinated in the face of what are considered to be matters of great urgency.
