Residential Environment Quality and Residential Satisfaction of Seniors
Dvořáková, Nina ; Ouředníček, Martin (advisor) ; Čermák, Zdeněk (referee) ; Kostelecký, Tomáš (referee)
Researching the quality of life is an interdisciplinary matter. The physical and social environment that man inhabits, we consider to be the basic building blocks of the quality of life. The classical geographic question is what kind of relationship between people and the environment arises. One way we can measure the relationship between man and the environment is to ask how man perceives the environment and how he evaluates it. A suitable tool for understanding these contexts is the concept of residential satisfaction. Residential satisfaction derives from alignment of the needs and abilities of man with the qualities of the environment that he inhabits. This dissertation focuses on the understanding of the meaning of space in the context of aging and its subsequent utility in the research of the residential satisfaction of the aging population. This dissertation contributes to the realization of a highly socially relevant topic and expands knowledge about the quality of the living environment of the senior population. It connects research concerning urban geography and gerontological disciplines. Research on residential satisfaction is performed on the background of urban processes that significantly influence the shape of the current post-socialist cities. The residential environment in the...

Thus, people consider many aspects in the wish to satisfy one of the basic life needs during the choice of housing. The place of future residence is one of the most important of them. Housing research is a relatively new topic in geography. Even though systematic research on housing and quality of housing in Czechia takes place more intensively (in the social sciences, for more than two decades), there were not performed territorial differentiation of the quality of housing assessment and comparison of municipalities according to suitability for. The concept of quality of housing has appeared almost exclusively in connection with the dwelling yet, the basic unit of housing. Housing permeates all basic areas of human and social life.

Horáček, Jiří ; Čermák, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Nemeškal, Jiří (referee)
The Bachelor's thesis is focused on non-daily commuting, with Prague use as the example. Spatial mobility, its development and concepts associated with non-daily commuting are addressed in the introductory part. Followed by a section dealing with data and population census and housing. Thereafter, non-daily commuting data is analysed and compared with the absolute values of daily commuting. I also focused on the intensity of non-daily commuting and the relationship between non-daily commuting and long-term migration to Prague. The next section describes the survey, which confirms the results stemming from the analysis of data from the 2011Census. A review of the investigation and analysis has demonstrated a strong dependence between non-daily commuting and migration to Prague. Within Czechia, non-daily commuting reaches its highest intensity in the Southern Region. The only region that has an even higher level of commuting to Prague is the Central Bohemian Region, but this case is not involved in non-daily commuting lasting more than 24 hours. Keywords: non-daily commuting, migration, spatial mobility, the capital city of Prague, 2011 Census and Housing
