The goal of the thesis was to display landscape changes and some selected socioeconomic factors in the cadastral area of the Kvilda village. The changes were expertised on the basis of the stabil cadastral map from 1837 until the present - on the basis of the air photos which were taken in 1949, 1973 and 2008. The development of the changes was observed on agricultural areas, forest areas, freeways and in build-up areas. Socioeconomic factors were selected on the basis of the possibility to make a line of the continuity. The development of the number of population and the number of houses was chosen. Information was brought out from municipal chronicles and literary resources. Reasons of changes and outputs processed in graphs are presented in the practical part of the thesis. The function of the Šumava Mountains has been changed during last 100 years. After 1950, original mountain agriculture with mainly pastoral character and extensive stock raising completed by the work in the forest industry were changed into a partly closed area with the minor tourist industry.

The main theme of my thesis is the city administration of Prachatice as a seigniorial town between the years 1622 and 1699. I've focused my attention primarily on the functioning of the town hall in Prachatice. I've tried to reconstruct its staff structure and I've also been engaged in the renewal of the autonomy town authority related with it town hall, elders and the town reeve. The primary sources for my work were the town councillor manuals, lists of renewals, wedding contract books and testament books stored in the state regional archive in Prachatice, in stock Archive of the Prachatice town. I used sources, which were created during the renovation process, stored in the state regional archive in Třeboň, workplace Český Krumlov, and register books stored in the state regional archive in Třeboň. In the opening chapters I've tried to generally familiarize with the essential literature, the towns autonomy and town laws. I've compared the Prachatice autonomy with studies engaged in autonomy authorities of other towns.

The advantage of the geometric approach to linear model and its applications is known to many authors. In spite of that, it still remains to be rather unpopular in teaching statistics around the world and is almost missing in the Czech Republic. In this work, we use geometry of multidimensional vector spaces to derive some well-known properties of the linear model and to explain some of the most familiar statistical methods to show usefulness of this approach, also known as "free-coordinate". Besides, historical background including selected results of R. A. Fisher is briefly discussed; it follows that the geometry approach to linear model is justifiable from the historical point of view, too. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
