This dissertation is a selection of three papers focused on visual preference of wind turbines. Visual impact presents the connectivity of the articles, whereas each one deals with the topic from different perspective. First paper "Wind turbines location: How many and how far?" analyses in detail the characteristics of wind turbines themselves, i.e. their number and distance from observer or vantage point in relation to landscape quality. Second paper "How education orientation affects attitudes toward wind energy and wind farms: implications for the planning process" concentrates on respondents´ characteristics, in particular educational orientation, general attitude, occurrence of WTs in respondents´ vicinity and willingness to live close to WTs. Whereas first two papers use same assessment method to analyse differences of WTs perception from different point of view, the third paper "Futuristic Wind Power Systems Suitable as Artistic Sculptures" presents review of WTs appearance in general and proposals of possible future look as an alternative to traditional wind turbines.

The present thesis deals with the issue of a literature review of surface mining in Most and its surroundings. It focuses on changes in the area due to surface mining, and describes their remedy in several ways. Emphasis is on water treatment and other affected constituents in nature. It also deals with describing a detailed definition of the area and non-productive habitat. The following section contains a methodology for field measurement - infiltration attempt made by a single-cylinder, during which found the average hydraulic conductivity of forests, meadows, successions and ruderals. The experiment was conducted at the lignite quarry dumps Czechoslovak army, Ležáky and Vršany.

Thesis describes the state of geocaching phenomena on the protected landscape area Beskydy. It focuses on detailed description of the cache network in the studied area. The theory focused on the terminology and typology of all existing caches is presented and along with the summary of historical evolution in the Czech Republic and other parts of the world. Important facts for hiding geocache in the protected landscape areas and their possible impacts on the landscape are defined. Thesis is composed of theoretical part which describes essential information needed for the experimental part which deals with the analysis of the obtained data. Important outputs and recommendations for Protected Landscape Area Administration Beskydy are presented in the final part the thesis.

The study is focused on the topic of the new wilderness. The work deals with wider context of the apperarance of this type of vegetation in today's landscape. It also describes some of its ecological characteristics and the forms of perception. Indiviual types of new wilderness vegetation are set and located in the area of the city of Brno and examined during the terrain survey. Vegetation of this types is analysed as well as their perceptional character. The original questionnaire is created for evaluation of the visual preferences of the public. On its base the potential and also problematic aspects of the new wilderness are defined. Second part of the work consists of basic landscape analysis of the model area Pod Hády in the north-east part of the city of Brno. It is a landscape on the transition of urbanised space and its natural surroundings. The decline of intensive land-use, continuous overgrowing with spontaneous vegetation, but also intensive recreational usage of people living nearby is typical for it. The propositions for the model area are defined on the basis of various landscape analyses, theoretical findings and findings gained via questionnaire. The main concern of the proposal is to enhance the passableness and recreational functions of the area. A smaller space of the former sludge lagoon is chosen for detailed design. It is converted to forest park with the usage of new wilderness parts in its composition.

The following diploma thesis explores the landscape of mining affected Bílina region. The main purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the landscape in total. To compare the history facts with the current reality. To clarify what are the possibilities of mining areas. What legal and legislative principles provide the restoration of landscape. And then what are the possibilities of recultivation and their division into categories. After rating and evaluation of landscape to proceed to design a reminder of memory traces in the landscape and suggest its possible use.

The thesis deals with the concept of landscape arrangement of the model area and incorporating the selected section of the planned highway D3 in the landscape. The thesis is based on the findings of the analysis of the selected area. Literary part focuses on resources dealing with land-use and spatial planning. To process analytical work was used methodology Concept of landscape arrangement for the protection and restoration of cultural, historical and natural values of the territory (Kučera et al. 2015). The practical part analyzes the characteristics of the landscape and is based on the findings formulates principles concept landscape arrangement. The proposal section specifies in detail the possibility of integrating the highway D3 into the landscape of the area so that the disruption of the landscape is minimized as small as possible.
