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.

Land use and decrease of agricultural land: New wilderness
Jarolímková, Kamila ; Bičík, Ivan (advisor) ; Lipský, Zdeněk (referee)
Theoretical part of the thesis deals with relationships dynamics interaction between human and nature. These relationships are monitored by data of land use development. The "new wilderness" concept is presented in the theoretical part from various learned views as well and there are described different definitions and typologies of the term. Empirical part of the thesis is about "new wilderness" formation on the microregional level. The location of the research was situated to border microregion Vejprty in the Ore Mountains because of primary analysis of potential for "new wilderness" creation. The particular examples of the "new wilderness" are presented on the model areas in the microregion Vejprty .There are described driving forces for creation of each "new wilderness" type in those areas. The "new wilderness" in the nature is shown by comparison of historical and contemporary photos of the model areas Key words: land- use - "new wilderness" - Ore Mountains - microregion Vejprty - comparison photos

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 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.

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...

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

Zadražil, Petr ; Bičík, Ivan (advisor) ; Štolbová, Marie (referee)
Thesis analyzes development of agriculture between the years 1945-2013 in the concrete area which used to be covered by Chotěboř State Farm. 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.

Macroregional structures of the world: representation, preception, and objectivisation
Polonský, Filip ; Novotný, Josef (advisor) ; Bičík, Ivan (referee) ; Baar, Vladimír (referee)
The thesis brings insight to the problem of geosocietal differentiation of the world and its interpretation in the schemes of (major) world regional structures. These schemes are matter of different presentation and representation and have utility in organization of both scientific and non-scientific practices. A more detailed analysis and discussion of academic approaches to global macroregionalization was provided, which was followed by an analysis of the views of so-called global actors. Assessed was also situation in Czech and Slovak education (geographical textbooks). Perceptions of regional schemes are represented by views of geography students. Struggles with objectification were related to several-variant-based consideration of internal homogeneity and external heterogeneity of macroregions. Also assessed were world economic flows, distribution of integrated power potential and its development (1950 - 2008). Conclusions bring synthesis of the findings, as well as an outline of possible future research topics.
