Courier Service in Dvůr Králové n. L. in the Early Modern Period
Iša, František ; Čechura, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Kostlán, Antonín (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on the issue of oral and written communication through the groups of couriers, who mediated between smaller royal dowry town Dvůr Králové nad Labem and its own villages as well as another distant locations situated in another dominion. Diploma thesis applies to region called Podkrkonoší in the advanced Early Modern Period, describes and analyses some of the preserved archival primary sources of knowledge dedicated to the courier services in Dvůr Králové nad Labem. It mentions the enviroment in which the gateke- epers and other couriers fulfilled their services. This thesis attempts to define the relationship between the distance and courier's income in Dvůr Králové nad Labem's domain and outside of it. In the context of diverse contents of oral and written messages the thesis mentions sever- al other topics, for example the actual filling work of corvée (or statute labour), showing by gatekeepers the way to hussar-soldier at surveying, transport of beggars and vagabonds and even the beginning of postal services in this area. Working method is based on detailed archival probe into rarely preserved municipal bookkeeping, especially into records of gate- keeper's courier services and records of other settled couriers both from the year 1740 and 1768. Results are presented...

Poláková, Tereza ; Lysák, Jakub (advisor) ; Šára, Pavel (referee)
Cartographic representation of hydrographic features in the state map series Abstract The goal of this bachelor thesis is to create a proposal to completion digital topographic database ZABAGED for hydrographic features. The first part is devoted to introduction to map keys of large scale Czech topographic maps since 1950s and also with the content of database ZABAGED. The emphasis is also put on historical context of new mapping and formation of digital database. The second part deals with a representation of hydrographic features and their guidance in digital topographic databases in four foreign countries. The practical part is devoted to designing a completion of attributes and features to ZABAGED. In view of the new attributes a cartographic representation of selected hydrographic features for the large scale maps is designed. All proposals were created considering the regulation of European Commission INSPIRE Data Specification on Hydrography.

Interdisciplinary relation between cartography and mathematics in the teaching at high school
Leipertová, Gabriela ; Netrdová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Marada, Miroslav (referee)
LEIPERTOVÁ, G. (2012): Interdisciplinary relation between cartography and mathematics in the teaching at high school. Department of Social Geography and Regional Development, Charles University in Prague. The present diploma thesis analyses interdisciplinary relations between cartography and mathematics on three levels: on the level of intended curriculum, on the level of implemented curriculum and on the level of attained curriculum. On the level of the intended curriculum, project documents such as the Framework Educational Programme for High Schools and the School Educational Programmes of selected high schools are especially studied. The content analysis of selected textbooks of geography evaluates relations between cartography and mathematics on the basis of occurrence and (quality of) explication of required subject matters, amount of examples, illustrations and charts. Moreover, selected chapters of cartography, in which mathematical skills are applied, are elaborated in detail. On the level of the implemented curriculum, the real state of teaching of these interdisciplinary relations at selected high schools is evaluated through questionnaires for teachers of geography and of mathematics. On the level of the attained curriculum, the ability of pupils to combine knowledge of cartography and...

Representation of time in cartographic works on the example of maps of historical battles
Vít, Lukáš ; Bláha, Jan Daniel (advisor) ; Bayer, Tomáš (referee)
Representation of time in cartographic works on the example of maps of historical battles Abstract This study contains an in-depth analysis of possible graphical presentation of the fourth cartographic dimension (time) and utilizes the acquired findings in prototypical animated maps of historical battles. The initial chapter reflects cartography in general, later, the area of animated maps is in focus. The first part of the text is dedicated to the connection of cartography and time. Practical means of time representation are described. Further, a recommended general pattern is specified for design and development of time legend, so that time presentation suits the nature of the depicted theme. Consecutively, this general pattern is applied to a set of pieces of cartographical work depicting (historical) battles. The tangible result of this work is an interactive cartographic animation presenting the battle of Gettysburg and preceding events. Keywords: time, cartography, temporal legend, animated map, battle

paper.dropbox.com/doc/Rethinking-Rethinking-Maps--BAOXySgVBU~pOeli7wIUnCo~Ag-X3LtGE1DXor1EjqbYNsvj
Škobrtal, Petr ; Leitgeb, Šimon (referee) ; Kubíková, Zuzana (advisor)
The book Rethinking Maps summarizes the findings of researchers, according to which the map — its structure and formal appearance is full of symbols, categories and explanations based on the field of cartography — is an artificially created social construct. The way we browse maps is crucial to our perception of the space that surrounds us. If we want to be geographically related to a certain place, we convert its location and the route that needs to be taken to the destination in a certain scale. When we say that "something is there," we describe a space, which identity is defined only by a carefully structured graphic symbols in a precisely specified grid and scale. In this context, Denis Wood (The Power of Maps) notes that maps do not only function as a reflection of neutral reality. The world is recorded on them from a certain point of view, and apart from being tools of communication, they can also serve as a tools of power. In today's context, that means, for example, that most local services are defined by the interests of their authors, the paid advertising of the companies or the interests of the corporations to which the application belongs. Bachelor thesis Rethinking Rethinking Maps tries to develop an approach that could partially redefine these principles. Formal representation is not fundamentally different from similar applications offered by internet map services, but works differently in user access and attempts to modify the navigation service so that in the final state, the content of the map is formed by the users themselves. The user experience does not end with a straight highlighted trajectory, the path is not determined by the easiest and fastest way to overcome the route from start to finish. Validation of given locations is generated on the basis of user knowledge and the application connects routes into circuits through which the places can be related in their common geographical, historical or social context forming the identity of individual localities — places are not defined by a red highlighted route, but by various forms of content that is generated by the users themselves. The goal is to create a tool that would ideally help shape a community that not only consumes the world, but also experiences it and tries to enroll it differently than by the number of stars or the ratio of coffee acidity.

Spatial analysis for optimization of student assignments in cartography
Fenclová, Karolína ; Lysák, Jakub (advisor) ; Burian, Jaroslav (referee)
Spatial analysis for optimization of student assignments in cartography Abstract The aim of the diploma thesis is to perform a multi-criteria analysis of large spatial data, which will result in the identification of a predetermined number of the variants of the territory, which are optimal for creating the student assignments. The main part of the thesis is to design and to calculate the spatial evaluation criteria. In the theoretical part, a theory of multi-criteria analysis and examples of its use in general in geoinformatics and assessment of landscape potential are presented. The practical part is devoted to the design of own methodology for assessment of the territory from the point of view of suitability for processing of student tasks, including its application over the territory of the Czechia in order to obtain information about the territory. Multi-criteria analysis was divided into two steps: pre-selection of the territory based on Boolean evaluation and subsequent sorting of the variants from the most suitable to the least appropriate using the TOPSIS method. The scales of the individual criteria were determined by the scoring method. The main result of the thesis is a new set of the variants of the territory, which are comparable with their processing demands. Keywords Spatial analysis,...

Information system for easy access of the First Military Survey
Pacina, J. ; Chodějovská, Eva ; Popelka, J.
The First Military Survey is a unique collection of maps and descriptive information covering the whole former Austrian monarchy dating back to 1760s-1780s. The First Military Survey contains of both cartographic and textual material. The description of landscape according to the individual sections of the 1:28 800 map was carried out simultaneously with the map. The texts in every section are strictly structured into description of municipalities, “Extract” where the entire region is summarized by subjects and index of places. The aim of this project is to turn this comprehensive cartographic work into a digital library offering the user all the information contained in the original work in a comfort internet environment. The old maps are carefully georeferenced into a seamless map and the descriptive information is processed into a database. The resulting information system will be available in Czech and German as all the texts are being carefully translated.
