The diploma thesis is focused on possibilities of application of cartographic methods to display and analyze migration. In the introduction part is defined the term of migration and methods of its description and analyzing, there are introduced also the basis of cartographic methods. The main part is devoted to concrete usage of cartographic methods. Three attitudes to description of migration are distinguished - using aggregate (one-dimensional) data, delimitation of regions of migration and migration flows. For all of these are suggested possible display methods, including their advantages and disadvantages. Some of the suggested methods were applied in maps, and final applications were evaluated. The results are resumed in conclusion. Evaluation of partial maps is included in appendix.

This diploma thesis deals with the exploration and comparison of symbol keys used for official maps of European countries. The theoretical part deals mainly with legends and cartographic symbols as a key element of the thesis. Then an assessment of available symbol systems and comparison of map symbols used in symbol systems for the official map of the Czech Republic is made. In the conclusion there is drawn proposal for symbol system applicable to maps of all European countries.

The aim of the thesis is to prepare an overview of major and lesser-known Czech cartographers, who went down the history with their important cartographic works in our country, or, conversely, contributed to the discovery of new worlds. The first part focuses on the explanation of terms connected with this topic. The development of cartography which is divided into individual periods follows. Each of these periods includes a brief description of the development of cartography in the Czech lands and a summary of significant cartographers for this period. In each section there is a detailed description of the life and work of a particular cartographer, who made history. Map works by these cartographers can be found in the text as images and more significant works are presented in the Appendix. Next section explains the aims and methodology. The practical part of the thesis contains an analysis of selected cartographic works. The final section is devoted to a discussion about the authors and their different views of the map works, and a summary of significant works and our most famous cartographers. It also shows the importance and benefits of cartographic creation for our present and future.

The presented diploma thesis focuses on the map skills' problematic, which is currently becoming widespread in the Czech research environment. In contrast to the previous empirical studies, this thesis is devoted to the thematic map skills and their level of development among students of grammar schools and geographically oriented branches of university studies. Due to the significant differences between used cartographic methods of visualization on thematic maps the main aim of this diploma thesis is to identify and explain used cartographic method's influence on the level of these important skills. To achieve this aim, it was necessary to focus on different parts of the curriculum (intended, implemented, learned) and to use several scientific methods because this topic hasn't been well established yet and therefore only few theoretical and empirical studies dealt with this specific issue. Firstly, the review of literature focused on thematic cartography, map skills and on identifying their level of development among students was done. Due to the lack of specialized resources the model of thematic map skills was created. This specific model was further used during didactic test's designing and also for its results' interpretation. Similarly for the creation of appropriate didactic test -...

This master thesis deals development of geographical names, cartographic symbols and on thematically maps documents changes of land use in microregion Lomnicko. Basis for its elaboration were analog and digital topographical and thematically maps from various sources and different time of periods. A part of the thesis are characteristics of used maps documents and conditions of their obtaining. Development of names and cartographic symbols is documented by tables and charts.

Disertace je zaměřena na kartografické kulturní dědictví. Zkoumá postupy a stav jeho zpracování i způsoby a nástroje pro zpřístupnění v paměťových institucích. Byly vytčeny dva hlavní cíle práce. Nejprve zpracovat teoretický model online zpřístupnění kartografického kulturního dědictví a ověřit jej na vzorku mapových sbírek. Dále na základě teoretického modelu vytvořit online nástroj pro zlepšení služeb mapových sbírek. K dosažení cíle byly použity kvalitativní výzkumné metody. Konkrétně se jednalo o dotazníkové šetření českých a zahraničních mapových sbírek a také o případové studie českých projektů zaměřených na zpracování a zpřístupnění kartografických památek. K naplnění cílů práce byly podle knihovnického referenčního modelu IFLA navrženy dílčí modely uživatelských úloh, jejichž cílem bylo najít, určit, vybrat, získat a prozkoumat dílo. Na jejich základě byla doporučena kritéria pro hodnocení uživatelských úloh. K ověření funkčnosti modelu došlo testováním 20 digitalizovaných mapových sbírek. Byl vytvořen webový nástroj Databáze digitalizovaných mapových sbírek pro zlepšení služeb mapových sbírek.
