Die Organización de Pueblos Indígenas de Pastaza (OPIP) wurde 1979 zur Verteidigung der Landrechte der indigenen Völker der Quichuas, Shiwiars und Záparos der Provinz Pastaza im Amazonastiefland von Ecuador gegründet. Anhand der Einzelfallstudie über die OPIP und des Ökotourismusprogramms der OPIP (ÖTP) wird untersucht, ob es einer indigenen Basisorganisation gelingt, selbstbestimmte Entwicklung bei Wahrung der natürlichen Ressourcen in ihrem Territorium durchzusetzen. Aufbau und Entwicklung des ÖTP in zwei Comunidades und zwei Asociaciones wurden durch seine Anbindung an die OPIP behindert, da sich politische und sachliche Kriterien bei der Planung sowie politische und programmspezifische Aufgaben der Beteiligten vermischten. Da das ÖTP sich noch um regelmäßige Einkommen und wirtschaftliche Rentabilität bemüht, sind Maßnahmen zum Ressourcenschutz sowie die dafür notwendige partizipative Planung mit den Comunidades und Asociaciones vernachlässigt worden. Die vorliegende Arbeit kommt zu dem Schluß, daß einkommenschaffende Projekte nicht erfolgreich von indigenen Basisorganisationen als Träger durchgeführt werden können und sie von ihren eigentlichen politischen und entwicklungsstrategischen Aufgaben ablenken. Es gelingt den Organisationen auf diese Weise weder, sich selbst zu finanzieren, noch den Schutz der natürlichen Ressourcen in ihrem Territorium durchzusetzen. Anstatt als Träger von Projekten aufzutreten, sollten sie direkte Kooperationen zwischen Comunidades und Entwicklungsorganisationen vermitteln und deren Erfahrungen zur Formulierung von ökonomischen und ökologischen Leitlinien nutzen. Entwicklungsorganisationen sollten die indigenen Basis-organisationen dementsprechend mit Institutionenförderung, Organisations- und politischer Beratung unterstützen. / The Organisation of Indigenous People of Pastaza (OPIP) was founded in 1979 to defend the land rights of the indigenous people Quichua, Shiwiar and Záparo in the province of Pastaza in Ecuador?s Amazonian rainforest. The present case study of the OPIP and its Ecotourism Program answers the question, whether an indigenous grass-roots organisation has the capability to implement self-determined development by conserving the natural resources in its territory. The organisational and institutional reliance of the Program on the OPIP hindered the development process of the Program in four communities. The OPIP interfered with political criteria in the Program and gave some project staff additional political tasks to their program-related functions. With the quest for economic resource management and the essential participatory project planning with the communities has been neglected. The author concludes, that income generating projects can not be succesfully implemented by indigenous organisations as the implementation bodies, and that they divert those organisations from their genuine political and strategic development tasks. The organisations neither achieve auto-financing, nor the conservation of natural resources in their territories. Instead of implementing such projects, indigenous organisations should facilitate the direct cooperation between communities and development organisations, and should use their experiences to formulate economic and ecological strategic goals and steps to achieve them. Development organisiations should support indigenous organisations through institutional strengthening as well as organisational and political assistance.

The diploma thesis deals with teaching students of the lower secondary school about the topics of the local region and the migration of the population. The diploma thesis characterizes four specific methods and forms for teaching the local region from the point of view of migration. The methods are based on cross-subject relations and key competences of the students. Afterwards, the thesis is evaluated the process and the fulfilment of the objectives of the application of two teaching topics in geography lessons at the lower secondary school Vodňany in March 2019. Activation methods such as work with the map, walking in the vicinity, field lessons, etc. are often used for teaching the local region. One of the goals was also student´s active approach to geography lessons in creating their own learning activities. Part of the thesis is also an analysis of the results of a questionnaire survey focused on teaching the local region and migration from the perspective of teachers of geography and the knowledge of students about these topics. The results are favourable for the purpose of the thesis. Teachers link the topics of the local region and migration, it demonstrates that the proposed learning activities can use in the practice. Students have shown relatively good knowledge of the local region and during learning activities were able to use knowledge. In the introduction of the thesis is elaborated the theoretical part of the thesis, which is related to the themes of geography didactics, interdisciplinary relations, FEP BE, key competences, forms and methods of teaching.

The concept of the study of transport geography is not uniform. The aim of the diploma thesis is to evaluate and characterize development of research topics, main paradigms, concepts and research methods of transport geography since its establishment as an independent discipline, furthermore, to define new research methods. In ´90s the geography turns to mobility, to the one of the main concept of transport geography. Mobility has always been at the centre of an interest of transport geography, however, its conception and the approach to mobility has been changed throughout the time, as well as conception of accessibility. Research topics of transport geography have been significantly changed in last decades. Geographical research shifts from one-sided focus on the transport and transport system to the more various and more specific relationship where a man and his perception of space and movement plays the main part.
