First I specifieded the area, then I chose forms (golf, spa, wellness and cultural tourism) and set up the database for calculations and analysis in the programme ArcGIS. At last I defined suggestions for the next development.

This thesis is focused on the use of geospatial tools in secondary schools in Czech republic. Subject of study are mainly Geographic information systems (GIS) and Remote sensing and their implementation into secondary school curricula. Aplication a research in this area is in the centre of interest of IGU. Previous works showed, that GIS has great potential to contribute to effective learning of geographic concepts, knowledge and GIS can be a tool for display, inquiry and analysis in problem based learning. The main goal is to explore the current state of geoinformatics involvement in teaching in secondary schools and to identify how to develop this condition at all levels of the curriculum (intended, implemented and attained). In order to achieve this general objective in thesis are chosen for each level of curriculum following goals: 1) At the level of intended curriculum we are dealing with two questions: At first, how is geoinformatic's topic presented in national's curriculum of a selected countries. At second, which geoinformatic skills should be acquired by secondary school's students. The main method is content analysis of documents. 2) At the level of implemented curriculum we try to provide findings regarding the current state of proliferation of the GIS software at Czech grammar schools...

The thesis is dedicated to the ISAF's Provincial Reconstruction Teams in Afghanistan. The research focus of this study is the analysis of specific geographic factors related to location of selected reconstruction teams in Afghan provinces. Geographic factors affecting security consist of armed groups, warlords, ethno-cultural structure of population and terrain type of the areas examined. Structure, investments, prevailing priorities and effect of local area characteristics are analysed in connection with selected provincial reconstruction teams. The study aims to determine whether teams managed to stabilize the situation in their provinces and which geographic factors affected the safety of their activities.

Geographical aspects of soccer players' origin - football academies: Comparison of Czechia and Serbia Abstract The goal of this thesis is to identify football academies in Czechia and Serbia since 1993. That accomplishes through presenting theoretical approaches of sport geography, then documents the globalisation of sport and especially the diffusion of football in space and time. It submits also characteristics of the successful football academy and finds out positive economical effects, which are generated by production of professional football players. The thesis researches in analytical part not only regional divide of the football academies, which are identified based on the place of birth, first youth and professional clubs and transfer value of the individual players, but the influence of different factors on success of club in national league as well. Key words: geographical aspects, origin, football academies, transfers, economic profitability Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Obsahem diplomové práce je analýza tří hypotéz týkajících se nepřímých daní v zemích OECD a následné ověření, zda testované hypotézy platí či ne. Práce je členěna do tří kapitol. První kapitola tvoří teoretický základ pro další analýzu. Zabývá se nepřímými daněmi a státy OECD. Druhá kapitola je nosnou částí celé práce. Jsou zde analyzována jednotlivá kritéria z pohledu všech tří hypotéz. Závěrečná třetí kapitola syntetizuje dílčí výsledky z druhé kapitoly a na základě této syntézy potvrzuje resp. vyvrací testované hypotézy. Jednotlivé hypotézy zkoumají obecné trendy v nepřímých daních, porovnání významu nepřímých daní v chudých a bohatých státech a míru homogenity jednotlivých geografických regionů v oblasti nepřímých daních.

The thesis "Geocaching in Library - possibilities of using the phenomenon of geocaching in the library service" aims to create a specific methodological material about a connection of a public library to a geocaching system. The general part of the text covers a discussion about the geocaching phenomenon itself, as well as it describes GPS spaces and a process of inserting coordinates into records of geographical authorities. It continues with infor- mation about the application interface created for the geocaching community. The thesis proceeds to a description of existing caches and experience of founders of geocaching at the Czech and foreign libraries. The final part presents inspiring opinions and ideas from geocachers and librarians.

The presented diploma thesis belongs to studies that deals with map skills. This thesis focuses on thematic maps - namely the choropleth map and proportional symbol map - and research correlation between map skills and mathematical skills. The main aim is to research correlation between these two variables using didactic test. This thesis also researches the effect of success in a given mathematical skill in the mathematical part of the test on success rate in questions that examine that skill in the map part of the test. In the theoretical part of the thesis, the mathematical skills that are needed while working with maps were defined and analysed. Given that various mathematical skills are needed while working with various cartographic expression methods, detailed list of these skill has been developed for the four most widely used cartographic methods - flow map, area class map, choropleth map and proportional symbol map. The main part of the thesis is devoted to general testing of map and mathematical skills among pupils in the ninth grade of elementary schools and corresponding class of grammar schools. In the first part the test verified reading, analysing and interpretation of choropleth map and proportional symbol map, in the second part the mathematical skills used while working with these...

The theoretical part of the diploma thesis deals with themes of modern technologies usable in tourism, management and development of a tourism destination and geographical information systems. The practical part of the thesis is concerned with a concept of less visited monument from four categories (castle, chateau, monastery, town and town wall) in the area of the South Bohemian region, the Vysočina region and the region Waldviertel in Lower Austria, whose target is increasing the attendance and publicizing the chosen monuments. The target of the diploma thesis is to characterize a manner of usage ICT for the management and development of the tourism destination, to identify opportunities due to situational analysis and to propose application of chosen technology for increasing competitiveness of South Bohemia as a tourism destination. Through the geographical information systems as a chosen technology the usage of maps for the management and development of the tourism destination is shown. The outcome is a proposal of several geographic and thematic products (routes).

The main goal of the thesis is to answer whether an ability to use maps in different ways is affected by one or more criteria specified by the author. The author has decided to test abilities of fifteen-year-old pupils to work in different ways with actual and old maps. The thesis examines possible impact of type of the school, gender, school marks achieved in History and Geography lessons, and previous experience with using maps. Before the practical part of the thesis was executed the theoretical part of the thesis had been dealt with. Different map skills were specified and characterized. Maps which the author had chosen to use for the purpose of the thesis were thoroughly described and particular odds of work with old maps were emphasised. For the purpose of the research part of the thesis the author developed a didactic test. At pilot testing a sample of 34 pupils completed the test to verify it is suitable for the thesis purpose and it meets all requirements for scientific research. At the second stage of the practical part of the research a group of 125 pupils from two different types of school completed the test. After the practical part of the thesis the author rigorously analysed completed tests and discussed whether the abilities to use maps seem to be affected by some criteria that had...
