Evaluation of Long-Term Land Use Changes in Czechia at Different Scale Levels
Janoušek, Zbyněk ; Bičík, Ivan (advisor) ; Kupková, Lucie (referee)
Long-term evolution of nature-society interactions can be studied by using data of land use change. In the thesis is used a detailed statistical database of Czechia (developed at Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Science). The database allows monitoring changes of eight categories of land use in the period 1845-2000. Attention is devoted to the growing differentiation of land use at different scale levels, the thesis is concentrated on functional specialization of czech regions. Deepening division of labour between regions is reflected by increasing territorial concentration of land use. This process is monitored by using three methods. Ternary plots present an overview of the differentiation trends of land use. Spatial autocorrelation methods present the general development and specific areas of functional specialization in Czechia. A review by territorial heterogeneity rate provides a detailed look at the change of territorial concentration of land use. The thesis operates with three territorial classifications (hydrological, geomorphological and administrative) at two regional levels and the level of Czechia. Results are interpreted using the driving forces (such as technological development, economics, historical events, society). The final part of the thesis compares the development of...

For the whole time period, thesis analyzes general evolution of agriculture in Czechoslovakia (Czechia) as well. Main part of this paper is devoted to quantitative and qualitative analyses of agriculture in designated area. Analysis captures development of the land, maintenance by Chotěboř State farm, changes of its organization structure, solutions of investments problems in this land, trends of evolution and actual situation of management of State Farm in time period between the years 1960-1989. All of these are analyses in context of Czechoslovakian (Czechian) State Farms. One of the main outputs is scheme of evolution, showing similarities of processes and occurrences between those two measures levels as well as dependency of those processes with the past political decisions. Time period after 1989 has been selected to several stages in context of local and state processes and trends. In those stages in the model region thesis examines restructuring and transformation of ownerships, their problems, manipulations with agricultural land, ownership and rental of this land, economical indicators and problems in agriculture after year 1990.

Divínová, Pavlína ; Bičík, Ivan (advisor) ; Hrabák, Jiří (referee)
Allotment gardens, gardening and selfsupplying: micro-regional analyze Abstract The thesis discusses the origin and development of allotment gardeners and allotment movement in the Czech Republic and marginally in Great Britain and Germany. Discussions with the literature also includes related phenomenon of allotment gardeners - second home. In the theoretical part, self-supply is mentioned such as a certain lifestyle. This chapter outlines not only the development and trends in self-supply (fruits and vegetables), but also overall trends in food consumption. The aim was to clarify at micro-regional level, who are the people who own the garden and what do they use it for. For this purpose was processed a questionnaire which was distributed to owners of allotment gardens and also to owners of the house with garden. Based on the results of the questionnaire I could confirm or refute defined hypotheses. The questionnaire also showed the increasing interest in allotment gardening. Keywords: Allotment gardens, Czech gardening association, selfsupplying, gardeners

Current problems of fruit growing: case study in the Litoměřice region
Ulrychová, Soňa ; Bičík, Ivan (advisor) ; Jančák, Vít (referee)
A lot of changes have taken place in Czechia during the 20th century, the impact of World War I and the independence of Czechia, the results of World War II, 40 years under the impact of Communism, the political revolution of 1989 and admission to European integration in 2004. Each of these events reflects another phase of socioeconomic development and political climates and environmental changes as well and each of the periods has meant great intervention into Czech agriculture, fruit growing and landscape. The main aim of this diploma thesis is analyzing and interpretation of the most serious problems of fruit growing in Litoměřice region and the historical-geographical analysis and interpretation of the development in land use changes from the first half of the 19th century in a case area of this region. To analyze development in land use changes the database LUCC Czechia was used. The database includes detailed data of 8 basic and 3 summary categories about the land use status in the years of 1845, 1948, 1990, 2000 on the level of comparable territorial units (these are the cadastral territories, eventually several connected cadastrals). For detailed analysis I used maps from year 1845. The next part of my thesis is about Common agricultural policy and its payment to Czech farmers in general, and in the...

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...

Land use change in the Cheb area - new wilderness
Pekárková, Hana ; Bičík, Ivan (advisor) ; Matějček, Tomáš (referee)
The theses deals with exploration of new wilderness which comes into being in abandoned areas in border regions in the Cheb district. Using the newly defined transformation index, two cadastral territories in the district were identified with the highest probability of new wilderness occurence. The occurrence of a new wilderness was demonstrated in both cadastral areas and was categorized into typology already established. Photographs and ArcGis maps were added to the field survey. Post-habitat and post-agrarian new wilderness were identified in both cadastral territories. Further, there were identified post-montane and post-aquatic new wilderness. Despite the position near the border, where the Iron Curtain was located, post- military new wilderness was not identified there. New wilderness occurs in both localities on more than 10 % of area. Keywords: Land use, change of landscape, new wilderness, West Bohemia
