Commuting to work by transport mode choice: changes in the main transport modes, depending on a distance on the example of two regional capitals in 2001 and 2011
Petráš, Marek ; Květoň, Viktor (advisor) ; Jaroš, Václav (referee)
The main goal of this work is to evaluate changing significance of main travel modes in two regional capitals between two censuses. The work is based on 2001 and 2011 censuses results. The work is also based on assumption, that there has been a change in travel mode choice within commuting to work due to economic boom (2003-2008) and economic crisis (2008-2010) in the Czech Republic. It means especially growing role of individual automobile travel and declining importance of public transport. The research also focuses on changes of distances, in which the travel modes are mainly used. The basic statistical and cartographic methods are used for the evaluation. The results confirm growing importance of automobile travel at expense of other means of transport, especially bus travel. Both cities are characterised by an importance of railway travel higher than nationwide average. The railway travel maintains its importance especially along the main railway corridors. The average distance of travel has grown in all evaluated means of transport. Despite that, all means of transport achieve in 2011 their maximum share in same distance categories as they did in 2001.

Aspects influencing modal-choice in school and labour commuting from Zruč nad Sázavou town
Pavliš, Petr ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Květoň, Viktor (referee)
The choice of means of transport for regular commuting is an issue which concerns a wide range of working and student population. The aim of the thesis is to explain on a representative sample of the population this choice of different means of transport for regular commuting to work and school from a small town in a relatively peripheral position. This thesis deals with some aspects that influence the choice of means of transport in Zruc nad Sazavou for regular commuting. The results are also supported by a questionnaire survey. Analyses are conducted on the basis of quasi-experimental approach assessment of individual indicators. The next part of the thesis deals with the specifics of the choice of means of transport on the selected routes from Zruc nad Sazavou. The research has demonstrated the validity of the hypotheses. The most common means of transport used for commuting to selected towns is a car for its flexibility and speed of transport. For certain groups of people public transport is still playing its role in providing transport services.

Possibilities for developing sustainable transport in Prague
Macháč, Richard ; Černá Silovská, Hana (advisor) ; Kolaříková, Jana (referee)
This diploma thesis is concerned with the issue of sustainable transport. In the theoretical part, the emphasis is placed on setting the concept of sustainable transport into a broader context; it also describes various factors influencing the choice of the means of transport, which is crucial for transport planning. Furthermore, it describes a set of diverse tools used for transport regulation. At the end of the theoretical part, it mentions specific approaches implemented in selected cities all over the world. The practical part is based on a significant personal research, which helps to understand the issues of transport in a selected area of Prague. On the basis of this research, it subsequently suggests possible measures that might lead to a decrease in the intensity of automobile transport in the aforementioned area. Most of those measures can be similarly applied in other city areas as well.

Daily spatial mobility of the inhabitants of the Soběslav region: analysis of selected processes and their geographic conditionality
DAVIDOVÁ, Markéta
This Bachelor's thesis deals with research on the daily spatial mobility of the inhabitants of the Soběslav region. First, necessary data was acquired using an anonymous questionnaire survey. The data provided general information about the participating households, selected personal data of their members, and records of their travels during reference days (Monday, Wednesday, Saturday). The analysis itself focused on the analysis of selected processes and their conditionality, and the results were also compared with other Czech and foreign studies conducted on a similar principle. The characteristics of daily spatial mobility in the selected region are based on the transport behaviour of the respondents divided according to established criteria gender, age, economic activity Each category moves through the area differently. Attention was also focused on finding differences in spatial mobility in terms of time; specifically, the working days of the week and the weekend. The primary focus of the research was aimed at daily spatial mobility in terms of the use of a car. It is evident from the results that it is difficult for a household in a rural area to do without owning a car. The result also showed that respondents during their regular trips, specifically travelling to work, preferred travelling by car rather than by public transport. Simultaneously, public transport was used more frequently during regular trips than during irregular trips. Furthermore, it can be seen that men are the more frequent users of a car than women. Simultaneously, they spend more time on their daily travels and travel a greater distance from home. The working group of the inhabitants has the greatest opportunities to carry out basic shopping using a car due to their high mobility. However, the most typical day for going shopping using a car was Saturday. The results are accompanied by graphs and tables.

Everyday spatial mobility of population in the region Strakonice: Patterns of individual mobility and their study by means of modern geoinformation technologies
POJSL, Lukáš
The aim of this Bachelor thesis was to investigate the individual spatial mobility of people in the town Strakonice. In the research were used two methods of collecting information. The first one was a questionnaire survey and as an additional element here served a record of GPS devices. The main goal was the analysis of the results, detection of internal processes and subsequent comparison with analogous Czech and foreign studies. Starting point for the analysis was the data on the main indicators of spatial mobility which are time, distance and number of trips. Comparing within the purpose of the trip, it was observed that regular trips consisting of commuting to work and school contribute to the overall mobility of approximately 40 %. With regard to modal split according to the day of the week, the largest differences were observed when comparing weekdays and weekends. During the monitored Mondays and Wednesdays significantly prevailed walking while on Saturday, the ratio turned and the dominant position gained car. In terms of the main indicators of spatial mobility walking exceeded all other means of transport. Different results were recorded in the distance category where a car took a leadership role and significantly suppressed all other modes of transport. Focusing only on the time spent during mobility then from the collected data for the region Strakonice, the results are that on average residents move 44 minutes a day. Data collected form GPS loggers were processed and presented using suitable software. The visualization displayed detailed mobility of selected respondents and allowed an alternative way of working with mobility.

Everyday spatial mobility of population in the region Moravský krumlov: Analysis of selected processes and geographic conditionalities
TKANÝ, Petr
The aim of this thesis was to examine the daily mobility of people in the region Moravský Krumlov. This investigation was conducted through a questionnaire survey among households in the administrative region of Moravský Krumlov. Based on the results were then analysed selected processes regarding everyday mobility and their geographical conditionalities. Ending results were then analysed and compared with available studies con-ducted in the Czech Republic and abroad. The population of the region was classified into groups by gender, economic activity, etc. and then a specific elements of their mobility were analysed. From the results of the survey is apparent that women undertake more routes than man, however these routes are not that long as those made by men. Further, the majority of routes were conducted on distances not exceeding two kilometres. People travel most frequently for work and school purposes, however other activities play a certain role, especially on the weekends. The importance of public transport in periodically conducted routes was confirmed as a part of the results and spatial mobility of the population in the region was further examined. Based on the results of spatial mobility graphs were created illustrating the intensity of mobility during the day.
