This diploma thesis deals with the influence that suburbanization processes have on a historic city. Namely it is the city Klecany that the thesis focuses on in the Prague -- East region. Suburbanization can be observed in the Czech Republic since the second half of the 1990's, but its specific influence depends on a particular municipality. Therefore the goal of this thesis is to compare theoretical assumptions about suburbanization with its real consequences in Klecany, especially in the sphere of transport, economy, municipal budget, development, population structure, social and political environment etc. One part of the thesis focuses on measuring suburbanization in Klecany using the so-called classic formula and also an opinion survey was made among the former and the new inhabitants.

Each of us lives in some municipality or at least in the cadastral district of some municipality. The council of each municipality deals daily with many issues connected with routine and visible operation of municipality. Unfortunately, sometimes it is necessary to be prepared to solve also the exceptional events or even crisis situations. The author aims to create the summarization which will resume the duties of mayors connected with crisis management and which will help the mayors with long examination of this issue. This thesis covers the Pilsen region because this is the author's home town. To create such a document, it is necessary to perform following operations. First of all, it is required to cover the whole theory of this issue which is laid down in several legislative documents collectively named "the Crisis Legislation". Processing of these legislative documents is performed to correspond to topic of this thesis and not to include the useless information beyond the frame of the topic. The name of the thesis is "Obligations of mayors at solution of emergency and crisis situations in Pilsen region". Indivisible part of dealing with exceptional event and crisis situation is also the preparation for its´ solving within period before occurrence of the exceptional event or crisis situation. This is also covered in processing of the legislative documents. The research part of this thesis focuses on knowledge of mayors to clarify the real need to create this summarization and also the required particularity of this document. This research was conducted by means of questionnaires containing fifteen questions. Five of them are YES/NO questions and the left ten questions are close-ended with one correct answer. The YES/NO (so called informative) questions and answers indicate whether the questionnaires were filled out by the mayors of either cities or villages, what are the sources of threat and several other information. The electronic form was filled out by 100 mayors of the total 501 municipalities of the Pilsen Region. To have the possibility to compare the results of mayors with other results, the same questionnaire in the paper form with only 10 close-ended questions with one correct answer was sent also to 50 laymen from the social environment of the author. On basis of these researches, following hypotheses were pronounced: H1 Mayors and chairmen in the Pilsen Region have the knowledge distributed close to Poisson distribution. H2 Laymen from social environment of the author have knowledge distributed close to normal distribution. H3 Mayors in the Pilsen Region have higher level of knowledge than the laymen from the social environment of the author. The H1 and H2 hypotheses were verified by the 2 test on the level of statistic relevance =0,05, whereas the H1 was refuted and the H2 was confirmed. The H3 hypothesis was then confirmed by the double-choice T-test. Each question of the questionnaire (inclusive the informative questions for mayors) was individually visualised in the diagram, which presents the percentual fruitfulness of mayors and of laymen. These diagrams show obviously that the majority of mayors who filled up the questionnaire, are the mayors of smaller municipalities. More than a half (63%) of these municipalities have less than 500 inhabitants. Large part of these mayors are probably mayors with a full-time employment. The results of mayors did not confirm the distribution of knowledge close to Poisson distribution and the total fruitfulness of mayors´ answers was 61%. This signifies that it is desirable to create this summarization rather as more detailed document with concentration on smaller municipalities and as a chart. The author believes that this summarization will be useful for the mayors.
