The Master thesis deals with the transformation of the Czech cultural landscape in the cadastral municipalities Senetářov and Rudice which are located in the region of the Drahany highlands. Cultural landscape, especially its origin, development, actual status and protection, is described in the literature review. Changes of selected areas are defined, compared and evaluated in the period from the fifties to the present in the main part of thesis. Comparison is focused on physical-geographic, socio-demographic, historical, cultural and ethnographic issues. Transformation were also evaluated by using historical and current aerial photographs of these areas. Primary data collection were obtained through a questionnaire survey which was focused on experience and views of inhabitants of Senetařov and Rudice villages. Results were summarized by using SWOT analysis and reflect the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of both territories. All hypothesis identified in this thesis were confirmed by using methods and eva-luation of results.

The forest floor is one of the components of the forest ecosystem, which significantly affects the composition of the soil and thus significantly affects the productivity and stability of forest habitat. The quality and quantity of humus and humus substance (HS), viz. humic acids (HA) and fulvic acids (FA), is an important soil characteristic. The diploma thesis evaluates the quality and quantity of soil organic matter (SOM) /stock of forest floor; the content and supply of the total carbon and nitrogen, C/N ratio; the content and supply of the total carbon in humus substance (HS), humic acids (HA) and fulvic acids (FA); Q4/6 ratio and the degree of humification/ in spruce stand at an age of 35 years in second generation and beech stand at an age of 45 years in first generation after spruce stand on the field research station Rájec-Němčice of the Drahanská vrchovina Upland (49°26''31''N and 16°41'30''E) in the Czech Republic on the modal oligotrophic Cambisol of a fir-beech forest vegetation zone at an a altitude of 600--660 m at sites of autochthonous mixed forests. Results obtained showed that the higher accumulation of forest floor was determined under the spruce stand than under beech stand. The HA/FA ratio is higher in the spruce stand as against the beech stand where young fulvic acids. The ratio Q4/6 is more favourable in the F layer under spruce stand, in the layer H is more favourable in beech stand and in the Ah horizon is the ratio Q4/6 similar. Degree of humification SH I and II is similar in both stands, appears to be more favourable in the stand of beech. Results obtained prove the suitability of beech distribution to the present sites of extensive spruce monocultures of Central and Eastern Europe in order to return to original mixed stands.

This diploma thesis summarizes the current status and the care of five small specially protected areas located in the Brdy Highlands. The total area of the territory is 74.49 hectares. For the acquisition of knowledge to the elaboration of this thesis was elaborated literature search, which deals with the protection of nature at the general level and at the level of model areas. The literature search was based on study of specialist books, legislative regulations and management plans. For the protected areas have been collected all the available materials about the individual protected areas, carried out a field survey and evaluated according the criteria of the Methodology of state assessment and care in small specially protected areas (Svátek et Buček, 2005). Evaluation of each model area is part of the chapter results of this thesis. Subsequently, on the basis of this assessment were selected one model territory for which the updated management plan in accordance with the applicable legislative provision. The appendix to this diploma thesis contains an updated plan of care, landscaping plans and detailed fotodocumentation.

Highland of Bohemia and Moravia is one of oldest areas of our country. Historical sources show evidence of plentiful silver-ore deposits already since middle of 13th century. There were silver streaks appurtenant to Jihlava´s mineral district in the close environ of Jihlava town. This mineral district extends to regions Brtnicko, Stonařovsko and Třešťsko. Silver streak leaded to Třešťsko (towards Salavice, Jezdovice and periphery of Třešť town to be specific) from former mineral district of Rantířovsko. The mediaeval mining was almost forgotten nowadays and mining pieces were cancelled and buried. Some of extant relicts could remind us this Gothic time if they were not instantly land-filled and aligned. I concern myself with natural characteristics of the determinate district in the first part of my graduation thesis. Content of the second part of my graduation thesis is the proposal of nature trail in the mineral district of Jihlava - part ?Jezdovice u Třeště? ? itself. First of all I focus on the history of nature trails, on its types and segmentation. I addict myself to the trail proposal itself and its marking and design in the second chapter. The trail is focused on the mining history and geological attractions in the first place. The nature trail has sight-seeing character and thanks to its easy low-end terrain is easily accessed for all visitors. So, it is destined for the general public. The part of appendixes contains photo-documentation of interesting locations on the trail, pictures of samples mined here already in the Gothic time and other appendixes as maps, plans, charts etc.

The aim of this master thesis was to create a geographic information systém (GIS) for the needs of cycling. The proposed route connects Vyškov and Blansko and allows you to get to know beauties of the Moravian Karst and the Drahanská vrchovina. The whole thesis was created in software ArcGIS for Desktop 10.4.1 from the company Esri. In addition to the actual processing of data from measurement and GIS creation, I have tried various database queries and analytical task over the data. The final GIS was published on the web and is accessible to the public. It allows you to display the characteristics of the route and points of interest without having to turn off individual layers.

This thesis deals with the characteristic of the Vysočina region and with a project of founding an educational natural trail "Povodím Blažejovického potoka". The thesis consists two parts. The first theoretic part describes the Vysočina region in light of geomorphological, biological, geological, natur protection and in which chapter is emphasization the area, in which is situated the lane of educational trail. It is compilatory text, which is composion like guide book to the Vysočina region for teachers, who decide for visit with their students not only this education trail, but another places in the Vysočina region too. They can find in the text another interesting places to visit. On the end of theoretic part are two chapters, historical interests and explication the concept of the education trail. The second, practical part include individual information boards with thematic content and their graphic layout. The education trail has 7 km with 12 information boards. It is the combination education trail, it has 1 introductory board, 3 boards with historical informations, 1 geological board, 2 botanical board, 1 zoological board, 2 ecological boards and 1 board about technical memory. The education trail goes on well walkable terrain along the metalled road. It started at Rachyně, throught Blažejovice and...

The presented PhD thesis deals with present-day geodynamic processes in the south- western part of Broumov Highland, with a special attention paid to the seismoactive Hronov- Poříčí Fault Zone (HPFZ). Compared to the rest of the Bohemian Massif the studied area exhibits relatively increased level of tectonic activity, which is evidenced by local seismicity and by presence of CO2-rich mineral waters. The present-day activity of geodynamic processes is studied by means of various geomorphological, geotechnical, geophysical and hydrological methods. Following processes and features were studied: activity of slope movements, seismic activity, present-day tectonic movements, relations between landforms and joint and fault tectonics. Based on the previous experience obtained by the author in the seismoactive area of Western Bohemia, groundwater observational network was set up in deep boreholes, in order to detect anomalies related to the tectonic activity of the studied area. The thesis represents a contribution to the deeper understanding of the studied area and also a contribution in respect of possible applications of some new methods that can be used in research of zones with relatively increased tectonic activity inside of stable areas of Central Europe. From geomorphological point of view, the...

Thesis deals with the mapping of our species of amphibians and reptiles in the hills of St. Thomas and the right bank of Lipno. Findings of older data in the atlas and the lack of extension work to monitor the biodiversity of species inspired me to map the location. Alignment of the square with the border position was more than 40 years, closed intensive human activities. This reasoning was that the richness and diversity of amphibians and reptiles could be acknowledge. The aim was to monitor the designated area and to identify the occurrence of individual species of amphibians and reptiles. Locate their habitats in which they propose to Match and protect this natural heritage for the future.

The examined area is related to previously mapped localities in the Novohradské Mountains and the foothills and creates a comprehensive insight into the landscape, not only from the geomorphological point of view. The goal is to create a geomorphological map at a scale of 1:25000, and some more detailed plans of the most interesting localities, using GPS technology. The maps were processed using ArcGIS 9.1 software and ZABAGED maps. The text section of the thesis contains a characteristics of various relief forms in the studied locations. Furthermore, an overall analysis of the physical-geographical elements that influence the landscape character was elaborated. The fieldwork was executed in 2010 and 2011.
