Šindlerová, L. Factors of Quality of Services in Mountain Tourist Destinations in Terms of Supply. Diploma thesis. Brno: Mendel University, 2019. The diploma thesis is about factors of quality services in mountain tourist destinations from the view of supply. The main objective of this work is to identify factors influencing the quality of services and to determine their significance. Within this work were created questionnaires for 3 segments – providers of accommodation, providers of sport-recreational services and tourist information centres. Based on these results have been proposed recommendations for service providers.

The thesis is devoted to the issue of tourism development in areas with specific protection. Due to the massive development of tourism, it is necessary to focus on its negative effects, which should be avoided. The performance is therefore sustainable tourism development, which proclaims the idea of preserving existing tourism attractions to future generations. Based on field research, structured interviews and questionnaires with tourism stakeholders identified the status of tourism in protected natural areas in the Czech Republic. Subsequently, the proposed options for tourism development in these areas. A case study is focused on the tourist neglected protected landscape area of Iron Mountain. Keywords: tourism, sustainable tourism, nature conservation area, Iron Mountain

The diploma thesis is divided into three parts to meet the requirements of the Department of Art Education. The main part consists of an artistic - historical chapter, which discusses the phenomenon of painting in the Iron Mountains as a place for the development of landscape painting at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. The work focuses on the analysis of landscape motifs in a given locality. He compares the motifs that inspired painters and seeks their connection to the work of other painters and puts them in the context of open-air painting. The chapter deals in detail with five painters, other painters are mentioned marginally due to the need for context. The choice of motifs does not differ from the motifs painted in other areas. The specificity of painting in the Iron Mountains lies in the simplicity of the landscape and its colors. The motifs here are mainly rivers, the Iron Mountains, rural cottages around Ronov nad Doubravou, Kraskov, and last but not least in stonehouses. Other motifs include motifs with a path, ponds, especially the Utopenec pond near Ronov nad Doubravou, Lichnice castle. The painters often take over the composition of the paintings from their predecessors. The next part - comments, represent their own work based on a comparison of the motif of the images created...

Theoretical part of the thesis deals with relationships dynamics interaction between human and nature. These relationships are monitored by data of land use development. The "new wilderness" concept is presented in the theoretical part from various learned views as well and there are described different definitions and typologies of the term. Empirical part of the thesis is about "new wilderness" formation on the microregional level. The location of the research was situated to border microregion Vejprty in the Ore Mountains because of primary analysis of potential for "new wilderness" creation. The particular examples of the "new wilderness" are presented on the model areas in the microregion Vejprty .There are described driving forces for creation of each "new wilderness" type in those areas. The "new wilderness" in the nature is shown by comparison of historical and contemporary photos of the model areas Key words: land- use - "new wilderness" - Ore Mountains - microregion Vejprty - comparison photos

The main aim of the thesis "Use of founded resources for infrastructure development of tourism in selected area" is to analyse market area, micro and macro environemnt of an accomodation capacity in Terčino údolí in Novohradské hory, to develop a business plan and find an appropriate financial aid.

This thesis deals with teaching about inanimate nature of the local region. The main theme of the thesis is to create own suggestions for project teaching on the 2nd grade of elementary school using the example of inanimate nature of Novohradské mountains. The project includes various activities focused on teaching about inanimate nature. The theoretical part deals with basic principles of interdisciplinary relations, project-based teaching and field exercise. It also includes an assessment of the significance of the interdisciplinary relitonships of the topic inanimate nature within the FEP. One of these chapters is devoted to the physical-geographic characteristics of the Novohradské mountains. The practical part is the final suggestion of the project.

The aim of the thesis was understanding the energy fluxes in different types of land cover. The area of interest is located in Novohradské hory in the basins of Váčkový and Pasecký potok. On a relatively small area there are five different types of land cover to be found (field, forest, permanent grassland, wetland and built-up area). For each of the types of land cover three properties of the surface were calculated: amount of vegetation on the surface, wetness of the surface and surface temperature. Moreover, soil heat flux, latent heat flux and sensible heat flux were established therefore surface thermal balance was evaluated. Results were statistically processed with boxplot diagrams as an outcome. The results support the hypothesis of vegetation having a positive effect on microclimate conditions. Especially the permanent cultures (wetlands, permanent grassland, forest) demonstrated much larger microclimatic stability and balance as well as capability of keeping moist. Thanks to insufficient intensity of vaporization (due to lack of water), built-up areas showed higher surface temperatures and sensible heat flux at most of the cases. Vegetation is capable of holding water and redistributing it in an environment via evapotranspiration. Thus, solar energy is stored inside of the water vapour which condensates on cool objects releasing the energy spent during the vaporization process. Water moves in the landscape through the local-scale water cycle stabilizing the microclimate.

The Dissertation submitted describes and analyses the development and existing situation of the landscape (in terms of land use and land & vegetation cover) in the {\clqq}Novohradské Mountains`` region between 1955 and 2009, in the cadastral district situated in the catchment areas of the Malše river, as well as of the Tichá river and of the Pohořský brook. On the basis of the statistical data of the Land Registry and detailed terrain mapping there have been analysed individual types of land and distribution of elements of the land cover in relation to individual cadastral districts. The results of the issues examined are contained in the Annexes to this Dissertation (tables, charts and figures) and are completed with verbal descriptions in the text part of Dissertation.

My diploma work deals with problems and evaluation of landscape character in chosen places in Novohradské Mountains. At first there was created a basic characteristic of the evaluated places on the basis of data from historical, geographical and statistical sources. These places were chosen according to their archive accessability, especially with the aid of contemporary photos. Consequently a proper field research was realized which was concentrated on the analysis beforehand determined criteria of the evaluation. Together with this searching there was executed also evaluation of aesthetical incidence. As well this evaluation was realized according to beforehand determined criteria. The main aim of my paper is to catch given places from the view of the extant archive materials and to explore the changes in landscape from the consequent comparison of original and newly created pictures from these places.

The aim of the diploma thesis was to create the functional core of geographic information system (GIS) of hiking trails in the Eagle Mountains including the spatial analysis. The first part, more theoretical, is dedicated to the brief description of the theory and initial analysis before the particular creation of GIS. In the second part, more practical, the process of the respective task is described from the data collection to data editing, creating the core of GIS, spatial analysis and final visualization.
