The project occupies by the place, where urban s and natural landscape meet together. The place is characterized by the topografy and the water - river Svratka. The water was determinant for the general proposal, where I create new river basin by which I bring the element of water inside the territory. In the surrounding of new river arm are concentrated sports and relaxation activities. Creating new parc rich of various character of places a develop the territory from the inside. This part represents the element of nature. The football academy is placed into the northern part with more solid and racional ordering, representing the element of human.

The concept of the thesis is based on the phenomenon of Soundscape. This term was defined during the late 1960s at the occasion of The World Soundscape Project. The image of the acoustic comfort was redefined - from the level of noise pollution to the question of the sonic environment. The contribution of the project lies in the rehabilitation of the importance of sound as a cultural and social phenomenon, which shapes the identity of the place. Since the area of sound research is very large, the theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the description of the auditory perception from the psychological and physical aspects. It's a description of objective and subjective "events", that on the one hand, it appears as a set of physical quantities, on the other side as auditory scene, which provokes the questions how are the different sounds connected, which meanings are associated by the perceived sound, etc. Sources of inspiration, drawing from nonarchitectonic overlaps ( such as poetic acoustic locators or sound installations ) are another starting point for exploring the properties of sounds. The work on a specific issue was preceded by the searching of the accurate place, that is essentially acontextual to the surrounding environment. Landscape character of the quarry Hady reminds a desert, it has a few specified sites, it‘s monotonous land with varying degrees of openness and closeness. The environment of the quarry generates diverse "soundcapes" and also reflects the sound milieu of the surrounding landscape, which becomes the object of manipulation. situation Quarry Hady is one of the dominant landmarks of Brno - scarred face of the hilll and broadcasting tower are visible from miles around, and after mining mechanisms quit, the quarry is turning back to nature. There is a natural reservation Velka Klajdovka and Kavky in close proximity - thanks to the fact grows up to thirty kinds of endangered plants in the lower part of quarry called Růženin lom. The location is easily accessible on foot or by bike ( hiking trail Velká Klajdovka - Šumbera goes through the quarry) or with public transportation within walking distance of 800m. The parking lot with 25 spaces is situated near to turn-off Kanice towards quarry area.

The master thesis is a story about (lost of) memories of a place and seeking the identity of Valachia via objects of small architecture. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with issues of landscape as a totality - it studies the region in the georaphical, antropological and cultural context on the background of fundamental historical events. The design part of the thesis outlines the "landscape plan" and defines the landscape elements through an analysis and interpretation of signs of individual landscape formations.

The another layer of the traditional czech landscape made by man's relation to his landscape. The new lazer of the Jicin area follows the tradition of two other compositions made in the baroque era. I found 7 places / quarries where I desgned several proposals.

This thesis deals with the representation of the natural environment in branding the Czech Republic on the domestic and global market. The aim was to find out how the visual and textual content of CzechTourism information and promotional materials contributes to this and how the representation of nature characterizes the Czech Republic as a cultural tourism destination. The evaluation was based on qualitative analysis. Textual content was analysed using the grounded theory method, selected photographs were subjected to semiotic analysis. The result shows that the Czech Republic is presented through CzechTourism brochures as a country that is a harmonious combination of natural treasures and historical monuments. The Czech Republic seems to be a tourist destination, after a visit to which a change of personality occurs: not only does one's physical and emotional state improve, but also one reflects on a number of issues such as the perception of spiritual values, awareness of oneself as a Czech citizen (for local residents), gaining new knowledge about the history of the Czech state (for foreign tourists). This work can serve as a basis for further research, e.g. building a country's brand through CzechTourism's social media presence. It would also be interesting to find out whether the content of...

The graduation thesis is focused on the phenomenon of Embellishment and by using a case study particulary researches the Association for Embellishment in Jílové u Prahy. The subject of my study is related character of former and present Association. Using a semi-structured interview process, I have attempted to find out how important local cultural tradition is for civic members and how far it is only a formal pattern for resumption of association's activities after 1989. I also tried to determine how the present Association deals with a current environmental issues and how it is used in practice.

More and more attention of scientists and artists is paid to the effect of sound to human and ecosystems. Due to technology development and growing urgency of human impact new approaches are being formed. This thesis is based on concepts of acoustics ecology by R. M. Schafer. In addition to noise mapping, Czech geographical research does not reflect the growing urgency of sound environment issues. In this thesis I present terminology, concepts and some methods which are used in acoustic ecology or soundscape ecology. A literature search shows the application of these terminology, concepts and methods in a geographical research, specifically in urban and landscape planning, geography of tourism, leisure, health geography or landscape ecology. In an empirical part I followed a pioneering idea of acoustic landscape typology. I used qualitative research, listening walk and narrative conversation, to obtain data about soundscapes. Through these data I critically evaluated and compared acoustic typology of landscape by Hendrych and Hynek (2008). I used recording of soundscapes and spectrograms as secondary methods. Recordings and spectrograms are availabled in ArcGIS Online application. I found out the typology according to Hendrych and Hynek appropriately describes soundscapes from the perspective of...

<p>Posle kapitulacije Italije organi vlasti<br />NOP-a na području Istre i Slovenačkog<br />primorja donose odluke o prisajedinjenju tih<br />područja Hrvatskoj, odnosno Sloveniji. Njihove<br />odluke 30. novembra sankcionisane su na<br />Drugom zasedanju Avnoja u Jajcu. Tim aktima<br />socijalistička Jugoslavija započinje borbu za<br />definisanje severozapadnih granica države.<br />Temelj za revandikacije postavljen je četvrt<br />veka ranija tokom stvaranja zajednice Južnih<br />Slovena u mirovnom procesu posle Prvog<br />svetskog rata. Kako sa aspekta Jugoslavije to<br />pitanje nije u tom periodu re&scaron;eno na<br />zadovaljavajući način, definisanje<br />jugoslovenskih granica posle Drugog svetskog<br />rata moglo bi se smatrati za nasleđen problem..<br />Smernice za postavljanje teritorijalnih<br />zahteva prema severnim susedima definisane su<br />tokom mirovnog procesa u Versaju, ali i kroz<br />proglase KPJ u međuratnom periodu o<br />re&scaron;avanju nacionalnog pitanja u Jugoslaviji i<br />okruženju. Institucionalno NOP, kasnije FNRJ<br />ovo pitanje defini&scaron;u kroz delatnost slovenačkog<br />Znanstvenog instituta, Jadranskog instituta u<br />Su&scaron;aku i kroz rad federalne Komisije za<br />razgraničenje i njenih republičkih komisija. Na<br />terenu ovo pitanje poku&scaron;ava da se re&scaron;i kroz<br />nametanje oružanom silom. Posle neuspeha<br />politike svr&scaron;enog čina započinje dugotrajna<br />politička i diplomatska borba koja povremeno<br />preti oružanom eskalacijom. Diplomatska borba<br />se vodi u složenim uslovima ideolo&scaron;ke<br />konfrontacije Jugoslavije, prvo sa Zapadom, a<br />posle 1948. i sa Istokom. Ovaj proces se<br />okončava tek 1954.(sa Italijom) i 1955. godine<br />(sa Austrijom) posle vi&scaron;e rundi bilateralnih i<br />multilaterelanih pregovora Jugoslavije, susednih<br />država i velikih sila. Diplomatska inicijativa<br />prema Mađarskoj okončana je u toku trajanja<br />Pariske mirovne konferencije (1946), bez<br />teritorijalnih izmena.<br />Moglo bi se reći daje ovaj proces<br />zavr&scaron;en relativnim uspehom Jugoslavije, iako su<br />glavni zahtevi jugoslovenske strane u pogledu<br />Italije odbijeni delimično, a u pogledu Austrije<br />u potpunosti. Finalizacija graničnog pitanja bila<br />je uvod u zauzimanje specifične pozicije<br />Jugoslavije na međunarodnoj političkoj sceni,<br />odnosno u kreiranju Pokreta nesvrstanih<br />zemalja.</p> / <p>After the Italian surrender, local authorities<br />of Yugoslav National Liberation Movement<br />made decisions about the incorporation of Istria<br />and Slovene Littoral into Croatia and Slovenia.<br />Their decisions were sanctioned on the Second<br />Session of AVNOJ on November 30, 1943.<br />These acts marked the beginning of the fight of<br />socialist Yugoslavia for defining its<br />northwestern borders. The basis for border<br />revendication was set a quarter century earlier,<br />during the creation of the South Slavic union in<br />the peace process after WWI. Because that issue<br />was not resolved satisfactorily for Yugoslavia<br />over that period, the definition of the post-<br />WWII Yugoslav borders could be regarded as<br />an inherited problem.<br />Guidelines for setting up territorial claims<br />to northern neighboring countries were defined<br />during the peace process in Versailles, and also<br />through proclamations of the Communist Party<br />of Yugoslavia (CPY) in the interwar period<br />dealing with the solution to the national<br />question in Yugoslavia and the neighboring<br />countries. The National Liberation Movement<br />(NLM), and later the Federal People&rsquo;s Republic<br />of Yugoslavia (FPRY), defined this problem<br />institutionally through the activities of the<br />slovenian Scientific Institute (Znanstveni in&scaron;titut), Adriatic Institute in Su&scaron;ak (Jadranski</p><p>institut), as well as through the work of the<br />Federal Delimitation Commission and its<br />commissions in the member republics of the<br />federation. In the field, Yugoslavia tried to<br />impose the solution for this problem by force of<br />arms. After the failure of the fait accompli<br />policy, a long-term political and diplomatic<br />struggle began, occasionally threatening to<br />escalate to an armed conflict. Diplomatic<br />struggle was conducted in a complex situation<br />of ideological confrontations of Yugoslavia,<br />first with the West, and then with the East after<br />1948. This process ended only in 1954 (with<br />Italy) and in 1955 (with Austria), after multiple<br />bilateral and multilateral negotiations between<br />Yugoslavia, its neighbors and the Great Powers.<br />Diplomatic initiative towards Hungary was<br />concluded during the Paris Peace Conference<br />(1946) without territorial changes.<br />Although main Yugoslav claims were<br />rejected partially (to Italy) or totally (to<br />Austria), it can be concluded that this process<br />was completed relatively successfully for<br />Yugoslavia. The finalization of the border<br />dispute was a prelude to a specific positioning<br />of Yugoslavia on the global diplomatic scene,<br />and to the creation of the Non-Allied<br />Movement.</p>

The present thesis deals with the definition of reference conditions of mountain and submountains streams in selected European countries and on the requirements of the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC. Here is presented the Typology of watercourses of Czech Republic and the delimitation of mountain and submountains types in selected locations in the Ore Mountains and the Bohemian Forest. In the second part of the work is solved hydromorphological status of watercourses. Monitoring was conducted on streams Rolava, Černá voda, Křemelná, Slatinný p., Modravský p., Roklanský p. and Javoří p. To evaluate the degree of hydromorphological quality was used Hydroecological monitoring method. The thesis includes a brief assessment of physical-geographic characteristics mentioned flows with emphasis on the runoff regime in their basins. In conclusion, there are identified and defined reference parts of streams and their characteristics. Keywords: reference conditions, typology of streams, hydromorphological status, hydromorphological quality, hydromorphological monitoring, runoff regime

Landscape transformation that occurred during the Middle Ages in western and central Europe is reflected in all pollen diagrams. An event that was so striking and widespread was used by Firbas to distinguish a biostratigraphical period called the Younger Subatlantic (zone X; Firbas 1949). High Medieval landscape transformation is connected with rapid colonization in our area that resulted in extensive deforestation and intensified agriculture. During the first half of the 13th century, the settlement network was already stabilized and was very similar to the current state and was reaching also mountain areas (Klápště 1994). New organization and changes in land ownership, as well as a need for more effective agriculture, resulted in the connecting of small fields into larger ones and in an increase of cultivated area (Klápště 2006). The use of the land was different, and for the first time complete (Bakels 2009). During a few centuries anthropogenic factors that were enormously enhanced throughout the 13th century, formed a cultural landscape that was much more similar to the landscape of today than to the landscape of, for instance, the 9th century. This doctoral thesis is focused on the Early Medieval landscape in the Czech lands and its transformation that culminated during the 13th and 14th...
