Studying settlement systems with mobile positioning data
Šimbera, Jan ; Hudeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Burian, Jaroslav (referee) ; Šveda, Martin (referee)
Settlement systems, the large-scale manifestation of the spatial organization of human society, are the frequent object of human geography studies. Mobile positioning data have been used in recent decades as a unique source on human activities in space, but robust methodologies to generate datasets from them that would be comparable in accuracy to conventional sources such as census data or travel diaries have still been lacking. This thesis aims to bridge the gap by describing in detail how to generate population distribution and commuting datasets from mobile positioning sources with the mentioned accuracy using ma- chine learning and ancillary geospatial data, including proper treatment of data privacy and artifacts inherent to mobile positioning, and to illustrate their ca- pabilities by building hierarchical settlement system models from them. Several further possible refinements are presented and discussed. 1

Use of Mental Maps of Users in Assessment of Cartographic Works
Novotná, Kateřina ; Bláha, Jan Daniel (advisor) ; Hudeček, Tomáš (referee)
Use of mental maps of users in assessment of cartographic works Abstract The aim of this thesis is to propose and practical apply the alternative methodics of assessment of cartographic works. The thesis is processed in the terms of project of Grant Agency of the Charles University Mental Maps: subject and means for assessment. The adjoining aim of this study is then to test which of the assessed tourist maps is the most user friendly. As the method for data acquiring the questionnaire investigation methodology has been chosen. The basic for the assessment of cartographic works are in the case of this study of mental maps of lynch type. Theoretical part is devoted to Mental and Cognitive Maps as well as to the ways of cartographic works assessment. Space is also devoted to the methodology of assessment cartographic works itself. There has been defined the subject of assessment together with the statement of hypotheses and the aims of thesis. Practical application of the proposal methodology and assessment the results has been composed from several parts. First the tourist maps have been assessed by the expert himself. Afterwords another assessment has started with the use of mental maps. This assessment has been composed of the phase of preparation where the questionnaire itself was being created. Then it...

Pokorný, Tomáš ; Hudeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hofman, Petr (referee)
This work is about accessibility of Tokyo-eki (東京駅 Tokyo Station) by using main railways of Japan Railways Group (JR グループ Jeiaru Gurupu). The introduction is giving main ideas about the subject such as research of accessibility. Continuing with categories of train connections and historical facts in Japan and Czech Republic. Special part is talking about transcriptions from Japanese to Latin. Main part of work is description of time accessibility model. Data were searched on specific multilingual sources. Next part is comparing Czech and Japanese accessibility by using anamorphosis model. In the conclusion is commented confrontation of regional accessibility in Japan and Czech Republic according to the maps. Keywords: time accessibility, railways, network analysis, Japan, Tokyo

Political Situation in the World - Its Impact on Air Traffic
Šlehofer, Miroslav ; Hudeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Marada, Miroslav (referee)
10 ABSTRACT Political situation and its impact on air traffic is the aim of this study. Events (September 11, 2001 and Iraq war in 2003) were monitored on two different levels of the United States - regional (national) and global (international). For reaching the target there were established hypotheses concerning about character of decline of air traffic demand, different impacts, connection between distance and decline, and airport size categories. The data base is represented by statistics of BTS (number of check-in passengers). In the study is applied slightly modified methodical procedure of Hatty and Hollmeier (2003) which enables comparison of real and supposed development. From this comparison is calculated deviation of air traffic demand and is analyzed qualitatively (mainly) and quantitatively. The evaluation of chosen US and world states is accompanied by graphs. Gained results and findings are summed up and there are commented impacts of September 11 (2001) and Iraq war in 2003 on air traffic demand. key words: air traffic in the United States, air traffic demand, September 11 (2001), Iraq war in 2003

Analysis of the Frequency of Connections in Czech Rail Transport
Ambrož, Jiří ; Hudeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kupková, Lucie (referee)
Analysis of the frequency of connections in Czech railway transport Abstract This paper deals with cartographic representation of frequency of connections in maps and with analysis in suitable level using software ArcGIS 9.3. Theoretical part is aimed at train categories and use of GIS mainly in analysis of traffic accessibility. Next there is a description of used methods which are isoline and cartodiagram. The main part of the paper discribes a creation of relevant data layers and methodology of data capture. Here is also evaluation of the results and suitability of used methods. The frequency of connections is devided into two types. Their differences are discussed in final section where is also warning about several complications that occurred during the work. The main output are two maps for the Czech Republic and one for Středočeský district. Keywords: frequency of connections, accessibility, cartographical methods, railway transport

Cartographic Works for Children and Youth: State of Art and Possibilities of GIS Utilization
Škardová, Marta ; Bláha, Jan Daniel (advisor) ; Hudeček, Tomáš (referee)
Abstract:: The aim of this paper is to present cartographic works for children and youth. The main object is the introduction to the problems of cartographic production for children and youth and the execution of value analysis in terms of cartography. The analysis focuses on the use of mapping language - character key and means of expresion, in this part is an efort to answer the question whether the cartographic works for children and youth are the real maps or rather an illustration. The assesment of selected product by their users - children continue the analasis. Another aim is to compare traditional methods of creating those works with the possibilities of modern computer cartography, three ways of making are demonstrated - by hand, using a graphic application and using cartographic application. Then the paper tries to assess the use of geographic and cartographic knowledge in products for children and youth, in this question the paper use knowledges gained in consultation with author from practise.
