For better solution of this problem, the stream was divided into several sections, which are analysed both separately and as a whole. The basic information for the purposes of this diploma thesis were gained primarily from the survey of the given area. The evaluation was realized according to the findings and other maps which are freely available on the Internet. Thereafter there is a suggestion of the revitalization works which was made together with individual revitalization objects. This suggestion includes also the possible way of financing all these revitalization actions. There were several slopes set in the basin and the soil removals caused by water erosion were calculated for these slopes. The reason for including these data is that this diploma thesis puts emphasis also on the river sediments which are forming the riverbed of the stream too. At the same time there was another survey completed. It is related to the flood protection and the suggestion how to build up these necessary flood protections.

abstract: Although there are millions of Nahuatl speakers, the language is highly threatened. The dominant language of Coatepec de los Costales, a small village in Guerrero, Mexico, was historically Nahuatl, a Uto-Aztecan language, referred to by some as “Mexicano” (Messing, 2009). In the last 50 years, there has been a pronounced shift from Mexicano to Spanish in the village, and fewer than 10% of the residents currently speak Mexicano. Without intervention, the language will be lost in the village. The ultimate cause of language shift is a disconnect in transferring the Indigenous language from the older to the younger generations. In Coatepec, older Nahuatl speakers are not teaching their children the language. This recurring theme appears in case studies of language shift around the world. Using a conceptual framework that combines (1) a critical sociocultural approach to language policy; (2) Spolsky’s (2004) definition of language policy as language practices, ideologies or beliefs, and management; (3) the ethnography of language policy, and (3) Indigenous knowledges, I collected and analyzed data from a six-month ethnographic study of language loss and reclamation in Coatepec. Specifically, I looked closely at the mechanisms by which language ideologies, management, and practices were enacted among members of different generations, using a combination of observation, archival analysis, and in-depth ethnographic interviews. Seidman’s (2013) three-part interview sequence, which includes a focused life history, details of experience, and reflections on meaning, provided the framework for the interviews. What are the language ideologies and practices within and across generations in this setting? What language management strategies – tacit and official – do community members of different generations employ? This in-depth examination of language ideologies, practices, and management strategies is designed to illuminate not only how and why language shift is occurring, but the possibilities for reversing language shift as well. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Curriculum and Instruction 2016

abstract: The Ak-Chin Indian Community is a small community in southern Arizona comprised of roughly one thousand O’odham. The indigenous language of Ak-Chin is the ’O’odham ñeo’okĭ, O’odham language, however in recent decades the number of speakers of this language have begun to sharply decline. Due to a variety of sociological factors in interacting with the dominant colonial society, the people of Ak-Chin have begun a shift toward the predominant use of English in daily affairs. The goal of this thesis is to investigate the societal factors that have led to the decline of the O’odham language in Ak-Chin and to examine language policy and planning principles and practices which may serve as examples for the Ak-Chin community to re-establish a strong connection to their heritage language. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis American Indian Studies 2017

This thesis deal with a issue of not making the best of these objects, so - called brownfileds. This project's point was to analyze brownfileds situation in the South region area and to suggest a possibility of making the best of them in a chosen area. A former glass factory has been chosen for this purpose. Wide area of formal glass factory in a Lenora village has been chosen for the actual suggestion of brownfileds revitalization as this area has not been served it's purpose for years. The suggestion to use this area largely faces tourist trade potential. This whole area is attractive for tourists for various reasons, as nature and social activities, location and good transport from a Lipno area. However most of the tourists are wanting a accomodation and spare time activities in areas with major possibilty of supporting tourist services. Creating a museum in the former Lenora's glass factory could help a sequetial expansion of tourist services and also attract tourists to stay for a longer period.
