European countgryside and its perception
Zapletalová, Jana ; Vaishar, Antonín ; Šťastná, M.
Rural area was traditionally connected with agriculture. To compare with urban, rural areas were considered to be backward, retarded, not worthy of an intensive research. But \nthe situation has changed in the last time. Although cities are still centres of development in the globalization process, people in Europe leave them as a result of the \ntrends of suburbanization and counter - urbanization. We intend to pay our attention on transformation processes of the European countryside. We can focus on more processes occurring there: transformation from productive to non-productive, from central planned to the market oriented countryside, from the mono-functional to the multifunctional, from the national to \nEuropean and globalized. The urbanisation process shows more faces in European countryside. Such a transformation generates many impacts on natural, economic and social \nprocesses occurring in present European countryside.

People, power and architectural ideologies
Kristek, Jan ; Vaishar, Antonín (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (referee) ; Kyselka, Mojmír (referee) ; Wittmann, Maxmilian (advisor)
This thesis aims to classify contemporary way of thought in the architecture and urbanism mainly in respect to the formation of public space. Generally, it seeks to identify ideological background of individual ways of thoughts and their genealogy – therefore it explores their historical roots too. The methodological framework of the thesis is grounded in the critical theory and production of (public) space as well as architectural production is therefore understood as a political act; not necessarily in terms of the established political parties or ideologies but rather in the sense of production of the city space as a social arena, in which completion of various agents, interests and notions is present including the architectural discourses. The resulting form of the public space is than a result of this competition and unavoidable ideological antagonism, which is present in the ideological basis of the individual way of thoughts in architecture and urbanism.

Consequences of post-war ethnically based population exchange in the Czech borderland for the regional development
Vaishar, Antonín ; Dvořák, Petr ; Nosková, Helena ; Zapletalová, Jana
About 3,1 millions of Germans lived in Czechoslovakia in 1930s forming the biggest ethnical minority. This minority almost completely disappeared as a consequence of the WWII. About 300-500 thousands of them were killed in the war as soldiers of German military forces. Some dozens of thousands were killed by the Nazi regime (anti-Nazi and German Jews), about 300 thousands fled on the base of Hitler´s command, about 20-30 thousands were killed or died within "wild displacement". The majority (2,1 million) were transferred into individual occupation zones in Germany. Only established anti-Nazis, people from mixed matrimonies and indispensable experts in economic branches were allowed to stay.Excluding big cities and some inner enclaves, the majority of German population was transferred from the borderland. Before the WWII, almost all the borderland of Bohenia and Moravia was formed by German speaking regions.

Multifunctional Rural Development
Zapletalová, Jana ; Vaishar, Antonín
Rural area was traditionally connected with agriculture. To compare with urban, rural areas were considered to be backward, retarded, not worthy of an intensive research. But the situation has changed in the last time. Although cities are still centres of development in the globalization process, people in Europe leave them as a result of the processes of suburbanization and counter-urbanization. The share of rural population slowly increases in European countries. In addition, farmers form only a minority in contemporary rural settlements. The countryside is getting to be a multi-functional space. Secondary and tertiary sectors penetrate to the countryside. Tourism and agro-tourism develop in the large scale. Agriculture is getting focused more on the maintenance of landscape than with the production. On the other hand, environmental problems also have an impact on rural landscape. European countryside develops within the globalization process.

Vaishar, Antonín ; Zapletalová, Jana
Eurorural '10 conference on European countryside under globalization. It is the 2nd of Moravian rural conferences organised by the Department of Applied and Landscape Ecology, Faculty of Agronomy, Mendel University in Brno. The aims of the conference are as follows: to map European rural research and particular interests of investigators, to gain a space for presentation of contemporary knowledge about rural research, to continue in the tradition of international conferences dedicated to rural problems, to support intra-personal contacts among experts of different disciplines dealing with rural problems, to present South Moravian rural landscape. The conference is aimed at relatively complex view of rural problems from different viewpoints (ecology, geography, demography, sociology, economy, territorial planning), less at research of specific problems in detail.

Rurální pohraničí Česka
Vaishar, Antonín
110 border microregions constituted by the catchment centres of authorized municipal authorities were demarcated during the analysis of the Czech borderland. The following facts were stated: a slightly better demographic situation of borderland (particularly the rural one), markedly lower educational level, higher unemployment which is however related to ther structural transition of economy, insufficient infrastructure. Future of the rural borderland is seen more in sustainable settlement than in economic development. Qualification structure seems to the main barrier of development and cross-border co-operation, in which social contacts are being created first while the actual economic co-operation is till at the beginning. Further research will be focused on the microregions of very small centres that might be considered the most problematic.

Malá města jako centra rurálních mikroregionů
Vaishar, Antonín ; Zapletalová, Jana
The paper deals with the Czech small towns as a centers of rural microregions. Mircoregions in the central European conditions are usually consist of a microregional centre (a small town as a rule) and surrounding villages. Small towns are analyzed by the point of view of services on the basic urban level, jobs, social contacts, occasions of traveling outside of the micro-region, services of the state administration and sometimes also an identity of the micro-region etc.

Rural settlement and sustainability
Vaishar, Antonín ; Zapletalová, Jana
The conditions of sustainability of the Czech rural settlement are discussed in the paper. The ratio of rural population is still slightly increasing in the Czech Republic. The lower qualification structure seems to be a problem. In the system of settlements, the countryside offers an alternative lifestyle, closer contact with the nature and preservation of regional identity in the globalization process.
