This thesis deals with the evaluation of trends and changes over time in the selected area, specifically in the cadastral area Rapšach. The evaluation was made in terms of land use and also in terms of ecological stability. These analyzes were conducted in three seasons, was a comparison of the current state of the situation in 1998 and the situation in 1952. At first current status was from the orthophoto found and supported by field research. The remaining two periods were analyzed from historic aerial photographs, and informations were specified with the help of historically photographs and written documents from the chronicle of the village Rapšach.

The topic of this thesis is the concept of landscape arrangement of selected municipality. Cadastral area Návsí was selected as a model territory for this work. Literary part deals with land use planning, in particular the concept of landscape arrangement and also the issue of landscape planning. Landscape analysis of the model area is made in the practical part. On the basis of the analysis are determined values and the problems of the area, which together with an assessment of the current concept of landscape arrangement serves as the basis for part of the design. The result is a proposal for a new concept of landscape arrangement, under which it is designed recommended content and format of the arrangement of landscape design and other measures reflecting local characteristics which do not fall to the level of urban planning.

This thesis deals with the legal aspects of protection of vegetation elements in the Slovak juridical system. Model area for the working out of real-world performance vegetation management and cutting down trees issues in the city was chosen county seat of Nitra. It is a city with a population of approximately 80000th. The first part describes the general protection of vegetation elements and their position in the Slovak regularization. Attention was paid to the autonomy and state administration in the municipality. Next, they were drawn schematic view of the real functioning of first instance organ of nature in the case of applications for tree felling in Nitra. The real functioning of the administrative proceedings on felling of trees owned by the municipality was faced with a functioning under Act. 543/2002 Coll. on nature and landscape protection, as amended, and applicable regulations implementing this law. The work also included the functioning of the approval process of concepts for vegetation maintenance in the city of Nitra and a summary table of powers of government under applicable law.

Thesis Settlement, Building, Garden and Landscape deals with wider relationships between these aspects and its goal was to investigate the moments of these relationships creating the environment for life. The topic of this text is a description, definition and analysis of the context and relation between landscape and garden. The reason and focus of the analysis is to find, define and evaluate the substance and to emphasize its importance, with respect to the landscape enhancement aspect of garden. Before the dissertation definitions were formulated, the areas were learned about, a survey was made, data about places collected, movement in the areas depending on the nature of their use was performed. The next stage was the perception, thinking over the evaluation of the given examples based on personal judgments and theses, from subjective point of view but with well-founded experience, study of the issue and sensitivity. For the assessment and conclusions of the results, several questions were determined common to all topics of the dissertation. The questions were linked among the individual topics of the settlement, buildings and gardens. The relationship between them and the landscape was the foundation. What is the place for a settlement, building and a garden? How are they functionally connected with the landscape? How are they located in the landscape? How are they seated in their environment, how are they inspired by it and how do they affect it? How do they use the properties of the area? How does landscape with its aspects enter the settlement, building and garden? What are the boundaries and character of the garden with reference to countryside? The basic principle and conclusion of this study is that the garden, located in the landscape, or in context with it, should get inspired by the specific qualities of the place where it is located.

This thesis is concerned with the issue of biotechnical objects in the landscape. Biotechnical objects are built to protect species biodiversity. They replace the natural refuge of certain groups of animals. The first chapters on the protection of nature and state of habitats in the Czech Republic explain the reasons why many habitats are endangered or extinct. In a second stage the proposed classification of biotechnical objects follows. Three ways of looking at sorting them are introduced. They reflect the open landscape, the private sector and the urban area residences. Finally the description of construction, materials and suitable locations is presented for 20 biotechnical objects. Their arrangement corresponds to the classification by target species. The part of the thesis is a case study which is based on the field research in the years 2013-2015, when the implemented biotechnical objects were visited. The result is a comprehensive evaluation of the functionality of selected objects and their aesthetic influence.

Diploma thesis deals with the problem of the river landscape in urban development. The selected area is Bratislava, specifically Petržalka and its system of the river. The work consists of a theoretical part, based on learned from literature and by other available sources in a particular field. The theoretical part also observates the existing realizations. Analytical part is mainly based on its own analysis and researches in the field. In this part are specified the problems and values of the area. The solution is the draft, in the form of landscape studies.

This work is focused on wood-pastures and their change trajectory and evolution since 1845 to present time. Research was conducted in selected cadastral areas in region Hradec Králové. In the intoduction of the work are defined pastures, wood-pastures and benefits of this active management. It focuses on changes in land-covers in places of historic pastures, their extinction, creation and continuous exsistence. The main sources of informations are historical maps and the field research.

This dissertation deals with a temporal and spatial changes of woody vegetation at the landscape in West Bohemia. The case study helps to recognise a historical development of the landscape and focuses on landscape elements of forest and non-forest woody vegetation. Focused area was determined by borders of former Vrchlabi manor and based on historical documents. The chosen area partly belongs to zone 1, 2 and 3 of Krkonose National Park. Forest and non-forest woody vegetation was compared from different sources- a map of Imperial imprints of the stable Cadastre from 1843, an aerial images from 1950 and an orthophoto images from 2014 - using ArcGIS software. Woody vegetation was divided into forest category and other three non-forest woody category- draws, acompanying woody vegetation and line. The results have shown that the most consistent category has always been the forest, spreading on 42,25% of the area in last 171 years. The non-forest woody vegetation was developing erratically and was covering the largest area of 335,21 ha in 1950. Data analysis have shown that each period of forest and non-forest woody vegetation has its own specific trends.

In this study is researched historical development of the Říčany landscape. Using stable cadastre maps, aerial photographs from 1953 and current aerial photographs is researched the development of the landscape elements. Further the spatial analyzess of defelopment these landscape elements are performed. Based on scientific texts and in cooperation with the Museum of Říčany city are discussed causes of identified landscape changes. The greatest changes were observed in arable land. In this landscape element decreased the total area from 63,40 % to 38,69 %. In this place, there occurred mainly for the development of built-up areas (from 0,76 % to 10,42 %) and urban green areas (from 1,20 % to 18,17 %). On the other hand, the most constant remained the forests. This area was increased by only 1,84 % and their spatial area kept almost unchanged. The data collected in this work could be used theoretically and also practically. Theoretical use consist in understanding of the functioning of landsccape changes. Practically, the results could be used by the municipal authority as a basis for various landscape adjustments of the Říčany city.

The purpose of this diploma thesis is to introduce a basic summary of landscape connectivity calculations mainly focusing on the Conefor program and the effect of input parameters on output landscape connectivity indices. One of the main goals is to create an ArcMap Toolbox to simplify the calculation of landscape connectivity indices for many areas of interest. Basic squares that cover the whole Czech Republic were chosen as main areas of interest. These units are used for example for mapping the abundance of flora and fauna. The same indices were calculated for NUTS3 and LAU1 areas in order to compare effect of size of input areas. This thesis provides a simple solution in the form of a Python Toolbox for Esri ArcMap to calculate overall indices of landscape connectivity through a Conefor command line application for a large number of input areas. Forest connectivity for different dispersal distances and input areas of interest was calculated with this Toolbox. As an input vector layer of forests, CORINE land cover data from mapping period 1990, 2000, 2006 and 2012 were used. Input dispersal distances were chosen in the range from 50 to 50.000 meters in order to comprehensively describe their effects on indices. Resultant forest and connectivity changes are represented by cartograms; the effect of input data on output indices is shown in graphs.
