With increasing urbanization, urban green spaces are becoming the most available means of contact with "nature" for more and more people. The aim of this bachelor thesis was to try to determine which factors affect the recreational use of urban green spaces. As the main factor was expected the availability of green spaces, ie. their quantity in the area of residence. The basis of the thesis was available literature on this subject, confronted with the outcomes of visitors monitoring in five forests in Prague between May 2009 and April 2010. The visitors monitoring followed a long series of studies, which were executed mainly by Institute for Enviromental Studies, Faculty of Science,Charles University, mostly as a dissertation thesises, in Prague forests and in Czech national parks. In this submitted thesis, particular attention was paid to data from the Prokopske udoli, where the author coordinated the visitors monitoring. During the 12 days of visitors monitoring, 14 359 visitors passed through the intersection of the main counting station - of which 59% walkers and 41% cyclists, moreover 868 dogs, 388 cars and 456 prams.

Kaprová, Kateřina ; Melichar, Jan (advisor) ; Brůha, Jan (referee) ; Šauer, Petr (referee)
K. Kaprová (2019): Revealed preferences for outdoor recreation in natural areas - Czech and European perspective Abstract of the Doctoral Dissertation The dissertation thesis focuses on the investigation and synthesis of recreation welfare benefits associated with natural areas in the Czech Republic and in Europe. The dissertation thesis consists of five case studies. These represent various geographic levels of analysis: the level of one single recreation locality, the national level that takes into account large natural recreation sites in the Czech Republic (including protected areas), and a synthesis of results of studies on the European level. The methodological approach is based on the theory of environmental economics and employs non-market valuation techniques based on methods of revealed preferences, namely the hedonic pricing method and two types of travel cost modelling. In Study I, we examine how the presence and characteristics of urban greenery affect property prices in Prague. The results confirm that proximity to greenery and its area are important determinants of housing prices in Prague, which means that residents realize the positive values provided by urban greenery, including recreational ecosystem service. Benefits to residents differ with the type of greenery. Urban forests have the...

Význam stromořadí pro spojitost systému zeleně sídla
Galíková, Kateřina
This thesis about The importance of alleys for continuity of the green settlement system is dealing with the problematics of urban greenery system, the significance and usage of alleys in cities and the importance of the connection of the urban greenery. This thesis is split into two different parts. The first part, literal outline, is dealing with the problematics of urban greenery system and the significance of the usage of the alleys for the urban greenery. It is taking into consideration its full meaning and functional aspect of the city itself. We will also find in this part the importance of the greenery infrastructure, alley legislation, the possibility of restoration, rating and sorting the alleys. The second part, materials and methodology, is working with the methodology of rating the alleys. The key way to this is to rate the quality of the nature of the alleys and the methodology of rating the spatial links of the alleys. In the first part of the methodology was analysed and rated exactly sixty-five alleys in the area of Breclav with the overall length of 17,6km. The alleys were rated on the scale from 1 (the most significant) to 3 (least significant) depending on the significant of the connection of the urban greenery. The mark 1 scored 39 alleys, with the mark 2 (medium significant) was scored 5 alleys and the remaining 19 were granted the significance of 3. Methodology of rating the spatial links of the alleys in the picture schemes, shows the spatial links of the alleys and combine them with the first part of methodology. From this, we can conclude the following statement about the overall and final rating of the alleys. From the ratings of the alleys, we can take away a recommendation for the improvement of the alleys in Breclav and the overall urban system of the city.

Návrh indikátorů kvality městského prostředí pro systémy zeleně sídel
Štefl, Lukáš
The dissertation thesis details the issue of qualitative assessment of urban greenery at different levels of its hierarchical system (system of urban greenery -- area (object) of greenery -- vegetation element). The proposed indicators were verified by practical assessment in the City of Ostrava. The indicators of spatial structure and composition of system of urban greenery were verified by the assessment of greenery areas of citywide importance and then on urban districts Poruba and Michálkovice (totally were evaluated 476 greenery areas). Proposed indicators proved the differences in a spatial structure and composition of individual systems of urban greenery as well as differences in spatial relations of various functional types of greenery. Quality indicators of basic areas (objects) of greenery were verified by the assessment of 83 greenery areas of citywide importance. This group of indicators pointed to differences in the overall quality of individual areas of greenery as well as in the quality of partial factors that are involved in the final state of areas. Significant deficiencies of individual areas were mainly unsuitable age structure (56.63 % of the areas), high need of recovery or cultivation measure (45.78 % of the areas), low level of qualitative state of technical elements (28.92 % of the areas), or complete absence of recreation and facility elements (26.51 % of the areas). A total of 22.89 % of the areas did not fulfil their functions and were assessed as unstable areas. Indicators of quality of vegetation and technical elements were verified on compositional elements constituting 83 areas of citywide importance mentioned above. In total it was assessed 9962 pcs of vegetation and technical elements of a total area of 186.69 hectares. Indicators give detailed information on the true state and quality of these elements. Quality of each elements and quality of its maintenance care was different. Quality varied within individual types of elements as well as within individual functional types of greenery. Among the elements found in a significant proportion in below average (low) qualitative state ranked lawn areas (40.33 % of their total area) and vegetation elements compound of woody species, especially woody species stands (52.62 %) and groups of trees (46.88 %). The results and their interpretation clearly show that the recommended indicators proposed in this thesis are tool for the exact assessment of state and quality of urban greenery system at its individual hierarchical levels. Explanatory power of proposed indicators enables their direct application and use in the urban greenery management.
