Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is specific in many respects. Concerning cultural life, the characteristic features are to be found primarily in the way cultural activities are supported and publically financed. So called "transformation" of Prague theaters suggests that "The Grant System of the City of Prague" is closely linked with the ownership structure of theaters. The particular way the theaters, i.e. providers of the public service, are supported changes the way individual theater are run. The goal of the Master Thesis is to assess financial support of theaters in the City of Prague with respect to different ownership structures and to point out to potential links between the actual support of culture and the current priorities in this area in the City of Prague as well as in the Czech Republic as a whole. The starting point is with the description of the current governance of the Prague's cultural life, its organization and linkages. A particular attention is paid to the comparison of various ownership structures in the sphere of culture and to the Grant System of the City of Prague. A separate chapter is devoted to the overview of requirements and rules for the provision of public financial support with selected theaters. Consequently, the present-day system of governance and support of cultural activities in Prague is evaluated together with selected ownership structures of theaters.

The main topic of this thesis are map skills, and the key point of interest are strategies used for map analysis. General reference map was found as a suitable map given its frequent use in the school atlases. The main goal of this study is evaluation of the general reference map analysis strategies in terms of their dimensions, i. e. their repertoire, distribution, efficiency, and adaptability. 20 upper secondary school students participated in an eye-tracking experiment that consisted of the test and the follow-up questionnaire. The eye-tracking data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively to obtain information about the strategy dimensions. Results showed that students used broad repertoire of strategies when analyzing the general reference map and they pointed to the most chosen strategies as well. In some cases, students used more than one strategy to solve the task and thus the most frequent strategy combinations were detected. The efficiency of strategies was evaluated based on the students' success rate and the length of the solving cycle which was affected by the type of elements, respectively map content, used for solving the task. The ability to adapt to specific task demand was proven by addition of elements needed into the strategy or using entirely different strategy type. The...
