Pešek, Ondřej ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Kraft, Stanislav (referee)
Commuting became an inseparable part of everyday life of contemporary society and an analysis of commuting flows has a fundamental meaning for capturing social- geographical organization of society. The main object of this thesis is to identify changes in geographical aspects of commuting to work and school in the Benešov district during the period 2001-2011. The second object is to evaluate the impact of macroregional centre of Prague on the commuting in Benešov district. The district is, taking into consideration the nearness and a good traffic connesction to Prague, appropriate example for assessing the impact of macroregional centre on neighbouring micro-regions. This impact is followed by an analysis of commuting flows and also by a questionnare survey. The purpose of the questionnare survey is to capture how people feel about commuting to work and labour market in Prague. Keywords: commuting, socio-geographical regionalization, macro-region, micro- region, functional region, Benesov, Prague, Vlasim, Votice.

Mikula, Karel ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Kraft, Stanislav (referee)
The relationship between regional development and traffic infrastructure is one of the most frequent question among scientist and even publics at present time. On the other hand there are very few qualitative publications in the Czech republic that deals with this topic. This diploma work deals with the impact of highway infrastructure on regional development. Main part of this work is case study that examines the impact of D1 motorway on Humpolec down after 1989 and compares the results to the reference town Chotěboř. These analysis are based on quasi-experimental method and explore several different socio-economic indicators, especially indicators dealing with companies. The results of this exploration are supported by the questionnaire which has more informative character due to its low recoverability. Based on the analysis, we have proved that D1 has positive impact on Humpolec, especially on companies and employment. This aspects along with good local authorities and other factors have ignited widespread regional development of Humpolec. We can state that D1 motorway was one of the most important factors of regional development in town.

Transport Accessibility of Municipalities in the Karlovy Vary Region by Individual and Public Transport
Jaroš, Václav ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Kraft, Stanislav (referee)
This thesis deals with the spatial orientation of transport links in the Karlovy Vary region, with emphasis on links between the centers of the region and its hinterland. The first part describes the general characteristics of this area. It is followed by a selection of the Karlovy Vary Region transport centers and analysis of their acccesibility. This forms the basis for the transport-geographical regionalization of the region, according to the accesibility rates. The final part of this thesis is devoted to the comparison of the individual regionalizations and the identification of factors that affect them.

The geographical aspects of pricing in the field of freight road transport
Čermák, Jan ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Kraft, Stanislav (referee)
The aim of this paper is to show what relation is between the distance and the transport price and which factors can contribute to the expected irregularity. Based on the real freight transport prices the paper is looking for and finding significant differences in the relative transport prices between chosen regions. It seems that the quality of the transport price is influenced by factors like the location of the target region within Europe and towards Czechia, within transportation routes and networks, its economic power and structure and possibly also by the mutual relations that the source and target regions have within the global supply chains. The quality of the transport connection between the regions is further compared with the connection that these regions have within the global city network. As was found out, these two kinds of connection do not have to necessarily be the same. A short questionnaire was taken among chosen transport experts to get the basis for a better interpretation of the paper's conclusions and also to get their opinion on the sense of the geographical research in the field of international transport and logistics. Keywords: international freight road transport, transport pricing, transport price, logistics, supply chains, geographical aspects of pricing

The analysis of transport behaviour of Czechs with emphasis on use of railway transport
Divíšková, Lenka ; Květoň, Viktor (advisor) ; Kraft, Stanislav (referee)
During the transition period, the dynamic changes in the transport sector occured (changes in the variety of means of transport), and gradually began to change people's transport behaviour. The choice of means of transport is a process which is conditioned by many factors and may have different regional characteristics. Hence, the general objective of the thesis is to asses transport behaviour of the population in different regions of the Czech republic with emphasis on the rail transport. The analytical part of the thesis is divided into analyse at the national and regional level. The aim of the thesis at the national level is to determine the significance of different types of vehicles for commuting to work. The purpose of the thesis is to evaluate the competition in the most used means of transport (rail, bus, car) and to determine the catchment area of each regional district in order of usage of any particular means of transport. Scope of this objective will be focused mainly on the usage rate of railway transport. The secondary objective is to evaluate commuting to work at the micro-regional level within the district of Pribram. The analysis will be performed on the basis of each municipality in the district of Pribram and will evaluate in detail the mobility of the population. This analysis should provide recommendations for the use of individual transport modes and their possible optimization.
