Local traditions from the point of view of the host community and Šumava Mts. visitors
Těšitel, Jan ; Kušová, Drahomíra ; Bartoš, Michael
Sociological survey within the project "Strategy of sustainable development of the Šumava Biosphere Reserve" covers a broad range of traditions preserved in particular villages within the Šumava Mts. region. According to this survey 90% of local population claim that certain traditional habits exist in their village. On the other hand, interest in local tradition is also demonstrated by empirical results concerning the visitors to the region. These results were obtained during a questionnaire survey related to the project "The role of tourism in the Šumava Mts.region development". Only less than 30% of the visitors encountered some form of local tradition. Comparison of the results of both surveys showed certain disproportion between the potential and its realization. Our study aims at the evaluation of the extent to which local traditions actually contribute to tourism development within the region.

Perception of the nuclear power plant of Temelín by local population in two time horizons (1993/2003)
Těšitel, Jan ; Kušová, Drahomíra ; Bartoš, Michael
Nuclear power plant of Temelín is a phenomenon influencing almost all aspects of life of local population. The article is based on comparison of selected results gained within two sociological surveys, one conducted in the year of 1993 and the other in 2003. Relation of local population to the nuclear power plant was one of key issues addressed in both surveys. Perception of the nuclear power plant proved to have changed over time. The shift can be named äfrom danger to anxiety'. The main factor keeping population anxious about nuclear power plant seem to be a fact that the plant is visible from everywhere, representing thus ävisual contamination of environment' of some kind.
