Malach Čejková, Petra ; Čihař, Martin (advisor) ; Reif, Jiří (referee)

As the main factor was expected the availability of green spaces, ie. their quantity in the area of residence. The basis of the thesis was available literature on this subject, confronted with the outcomes of visitors monitoring in five forests in Prague between May 2009 and April 2010. The visitors monitoring followed a long series of studies, which were executed mainly by Institute for Enviromental Studies, Faculty of Science,Charles University, mostly as a dissertation thesises, in Prague forests and in Czech national parks. In this submitted thesis, particular attention was paid to data from the Prokopske udoli, where the author coordinated the visitors monitoring. During the 12 days of visitors monitoring, 14 359 visitors passed through the intersection of the main counting station - of which 59% walkers and 41% cyclists, moreover 868 dogs, 388 cars and 456 prams.

Hanzelka, Jan ; Čihař, Martin (advisor) ; Reif, Jiří (referee)
Fishponds and their surroundings are affected by many factors disrupting their ecological stability. In this thesis, influences of selected factors are evaluated. Particularly it is discussed excessive overgrowing of shoreline by plants, pond siltation by allochthonous material from catchment area, eutrophication process and intensive fish farming. It is presented the impact of these factors on local avifauna in Novozámecký fishpond National Nature Reserve and Special Protection Area and compared with Třeboňsko Special Protection Area. Birds use the ponds especially as nesting habitat and food source. Therefore, it is necessary to describe the influences disrupting this habitat. The frugal interference with mentioned processes is needed in terms of dynamics of the ecological stability. Thereby the requested fishpond parameters and ecological and economic values will be maintained. Fisheries management and lack of historical management in the form of reasonably performing mowing and grazing in the vicinity of the ponds has the greatest impact on the habitat of birds upon Třeboň fishponds. Novozámecký pond also suffers from the lack of historical management, but the unsatisfactory state of the pond is rather due to the overall eutrophication of the environment.

State and private spheres make an effort to regulate the flow of visitors through sustainable management, to which the promotion and coordination of all stakeholders of tourism is the main aim. Visitor monitoring is an essential management tool in PA and can lead to conflict resolution and reduction of the impact on nature and society. Charles University in Prague was the first institution in the Czech Republic to show concern through methodical regular visitor surveys in the PA. This work pursues and focused on the opinions of people in Krkonose tourist resort Spindleruv Mlyn (SM) in 1999, 2004 and 2009. In 2009, respondents in SM noticed the build- up of development as the most frequent ecological problem, which causes changes in social and economic life of the village as well as changes in the character of the landscape.
