Analysis of Space Polarisation and Possibilities of Development of Periphery Areas: Case Study the Trutnov Region
Turek, Karel ; Bičík, Ivan (advisor) ; Halás, Marián (referee)
This diploma thesis discusses the analysis of space polarisation in the Trutnov region and consequently it tries to suggest possibilities of development for peripheral areas. The first part is devoted to the theoretical concepts of the spatial polarization and the methodological analysis of this thesis. In the second part, the selected theoretical and methodological concepts are applied to area of the Trutnov region. The analysis of space polarisation in the Trutnov region was realised on the basis of using quantitative methods. Development of the peripheral areas between two time periods (around a year 1991 and present) was evaluated too. The final part of this thesis is aimed to the analysis of the peripheral areas in the Trutnov region and proposition of their possible development strategy.

The influence of socio-geographical exposure and other factors on the extensification processes of land use
Janoušek, Zbyněk ; Bičík, Ivan (advisor) ; Feranec, Ján (referee) ; Novotná, Marie (referee)
The main topic of the dissertation thesis is the evaluation of the influence of socio- geographical exposure and other factors (natural: altitude, inclination of slopes, productivity of land) on the extensification processes of the land use in Czechia in the period of more than 160 years, 1845-2010. Emphasis is also placed on the associated losses of agricultural and arable land, given that afforestation and increase of grassland took place essentially at the expense of that land. The main data source is the "Database of long-term land use changes in Czechia (1845-2010)", LUCC Czechia, based on cadastral records. It is a detailed monitoring which covers almost 9,000 so-called stable territorial units. Both the extensification processes and the overall intensity of land use (using the coefficient of ecological importance) are evaluated. Given that most of the Czechia's territory is still used as agricultural land, the thesis also includes an overview of the evolution of the selected agricultural intensity indicators. Attention is likewise paid to the wider context of land use changes at the European level. The essential part of the thesis is to build models of socio-geographical exposure of Czechia, which are comparable with the data on land use in the time horizons of 1845, 1896, 1948, 1990 and...

International Migration in Sports. Foreign Footballers in the Czech 1st Division.
Matušík, Michal ; Drbohlav, Dušan (advisor) ; Bičík, Ivan (referee)
9 Abstract International Migration. Professional Footballers in the Czech 1st Division Michal Matušík In the present time the extent of the phenomenon of international migration of sports labour has increased significantly. That is why it has become the subject of academic research. However, this phenomenon is accompanying the history of the football, in principal, since 1920s. In the theoretical part, the thesis treats migration in the sports in general. Drawing on existing, somewhat scarce literature, on the subject, it presents typologies of sports migrants. Further, it gives theoretical concepts of international migration applicable to the sphere of sports. The thesis notes also some aspects of international migration from the point of view of the sports law. The aim of the thesis is to analyse the migration of foreign footballers to the Czech Republic. To create a framework for that, a general history of the international migration in football is resumed in brief. In empirical part of the thesis, a survey of the foreign footballers in the Czech 1st Division in the period 1993/1994 - 2006/2007 is presented. The concept of the foreign footballer for this purpose is defined as a foreign national who actually has taken part in the play in the field at least once in the course of the season. The period...

Land Cover Changes in connection with the Iron Curtain using Corine Land Cover Database
Najman, Jiří ; Bičík, Ivan (advisor) ; Romportl, Dušan (referee)
This master's thesis focuses on land use and land cover changes in relation to the Iron Curtain and its fall. The area of concern was delimited with a buffer zone of 15 km from the Iron Curtain (both sides). The space was created according to the administrative structure consistent with the year 1989. Different processes in the economy of the countries involved has had an undoubtedly significant influence on land cover and land use structure and its changes. Agronomic politics in European democratic states was more market oriented and that was mirrored in land use structures. On the other hand, soil in countries under soviet influence was cultivated on infertile grounds, which was untenable after 1990. The fall of the Warsaw Treaty stood for radical changes in the society of states that were directly influenced by the Soviet Union. Based on this fact we can presume more intensive land cover changes on the side of the former East in comparison with the Western countries. This expectation was confirmed using CORINE Land Cover dataset. The former East has undergone changes nearly five times more in comparison with the opposite side of the Iron Curtain boundary between 1990 and 2000. Essential variance was also remarkable amidst individual zones separated by administrative boundaries. The most stable...

Changes in Land Use According to Selected Physic-geographical Division of Bohemia Territory
Platzký, Tomáš ; Bičík, Ivan (advisor) ; Oršulák, Tomáš (referee)
6 Abstract Landscape as a result of log-term interaction between nature and society reflects both natural and societal processes, because the environment is the consequence of mutual interactions between human and nature. Aside economical, social and political factors, we have to aim on environmetal factors too. The landscape changes are posible to determine mainly from the land use and land cover changes. Land and land use structure are important indices of economic and environmental potential of the given teritory. The diploma thesis engages in the the assessment of long-term changes in teritory of Bohemia devided by selected geographical units (morphographic units, geomorfological units, and catchment area of II. degree) in the period 1845 - 2000. The monitoring of land use changes was executed in periods determined by important historical milestones of Czech history (1845, 1948, 1990 and 2000). The aim of the thesis was to expound specific land use changes within selected geographical regions through statistical indicators. The thesis assesses the land use changes within geographical region in relations to particular environmental and socioeconomic influences (withdrawal of Germans from border regions etc.). Key words: Land use change- drivnig forces - morphographical units - geomorphological units -...

Formation of regional identity in the inner periphery Czech; case study Neveklov region
Skalová, Vlasta ; Fialová, Dana (advisor) ; Bičík, Ivan (referee)
This diploma thesis had two basic aims. The first was an analysis of the processes shaping regional identity particularly of the study area of Neveklovsko and the identification of the inner potential in the region from the socio-economic and sociocultural aspects. The second aim was to identify the differences in the various areas of Czech region, specifically the high concentration of settlements with a predominately tourist and recreational function, where the research was conducted within the grant project. The research was carried out on using a field survey and questionnaire. The Neveklovsko area is an example of a rural area of the inner periphery containing a high concentration of settlements with the predominating tourist and recreational function. The Second World War played an important role in shaping regional identity, particularly because of forced displacements and its use as a training ground of the SS. Keywords: second housing, regional identity, countryside, inner periphery

Farmers'markets. Function, attendance, relations
Jarolímková, Kamila ; Bičík, Ivan (advisor) ; Fendrychová, Lenka (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with a topic of farmers' markets, their function, attendance and relations. The goal of my thesis was classification of trends of the farmers' markets to broader socioeconomic context and analyze customers at farmers' markets by questionnaire research. The theoretical part describes functioning and attendance of farmers' markets in the USA, Great Britain, France, Germany and in the Czech Republic. There are discussed related trends like "boxing" and farmer's shops as well. There is included general chapter about consumption with evaluation of problem of the excessive consumption, consumer lifestyle, globalization and (un)sustainable development. It is apparent from the results of questionnaire research, that customers of the farmers' markets are not only wealthy people, it was one of the main hypothesis. It was verified by the questionnaire research, that most of people do not think, that the farmers' markets are only trendy. It is described in literature and it was proven by research that people shop there because of quality and freshness of food and because of support of local producers. Keywords: farmers' markets, consumption, "boxing", customers of farmers' markets
