History and present state of the landscape of the former fish pond system in the drainage basin of the Opatovický kanál channel (Central and Eastern Bohemia)
Leglerová, Anna ; Lipský, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Pavelková, Renata (referee)
This work is focused on the dynamics of landscape change of fish pond system in Polabí region, specifically the drainage basin of the channel Opatovický kanál. Theoretical part provides information about origin, development and present state of fish pond system. Experimental part provides the mapping of ponds in five time periods covering the epoch between the 18th and the 21st century. Information about ponds in the 16th and the 17th century are provided as well but without pond areas. The reason for their absence is insufficiency of sources. Development of the area and quantity of ponds is discussed as well as land use and land cover change on the extinct pond areas. Finally, application of the fish pond development knowledge in landscape planning and revitalization are discussed based on the information gained by the mapping and research. Key words: fish pond systems, land cover, land use, landscape changes, Polabí region, drainage basin of the channel Opatovický kanál

Geomorphilogy in ancient Greece and Rome
Leglerová, Anna ; Křížek, Marek (advisor) ; Šefrna, Luděk (referee)
Ancient Greece in the 7th century BC was important for the creation of philosophy and development of science. Although geomorphology didn't exist as an independent science in this time, there were the first attempts to explain and describe geomorphologic processes and landforms. The goal of this bachelor thesis is to aggregate descriptions and explanations of these phenomena from works of ancient Greek and Roman philosophers, historians and other authors. The main purpose is to point out correct explanations and to explain the cause of these which are wrong. Main phenomena, which were scholars focused on, were earthquakes, volcanism and the annual flood on the Nile River. Greeks and Romans believed that the Earth's relief is changing all the time. Relief landforms were used during campaigns, in agriculture and for the foundation of cities. The scholars were able to critically analyse theories of their ancestors. Despite the fact that some of the explanations were different from these of today, it shows us that science in ancient Greece and Rome is an important period for development of geomorphology and science in general. Key words: geomorphology, ancient Greece and Rome, Mediterranean
