Funďová, Lucia ; Heřmanová, Eva (advisor) ; Malcová, Zuzana (referee)
The topic of the Bachelor's Thesis "Tangible and intangible culture of region of Horehronie" is description of cultural habits, traditions, cultural or national monuments and cultural events which are situated in the region. Thesis focuses also on specific cities and villages, which are the most important because of their monuments, events or other participation in preservation of culture. The most important is Brezno because it is administrative and cultural center of the region. Horehronie is well known by its strong relationship to folk traditions so I also focused on smaller villages such as Telgárt. Traditions are the most maintained and developed in there, and a lot of folk festivals take place there too. The benefit of this Thesis is to acquaint readers with the region of Horehronie, with its tangible and intangible culture and to find out how is culture maintained and developed by the population.

Keeping Traditions and Importance of Traditions in Contemporary Czech Society
URBÁNKOVÁ, Veronika
This thesis is focused on the importance of traditions for students and seniors, the importance of traditions for the both groups is compared and the differences in understanding to traditions in the presented groups of respondents are described. In the theoretical part relevant terms are defined and explained and the views of experts on the importance of traditions are mentioned. In the first section individual festivals in a year and related traditions, but also recent traditions coming from abroad, are described. In the second, practical part of the thesis individual respondents´ answers were assessed and the stated hypotheses verified. The hypotheses were tested through quantitative research and the method used to obtain information was a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire contained 57 questions and was filled in by university students and seniors over 65 years of age. The research outcomes confirmed the first hypothesis assuming that the lower the age of the Czech Republic citizens, the lower interest in keeping Czech traditions. The second hypothesis assuming that young people are more aware of traditions coming from abroad than of the Czech traditions, was also confirmed during the research. The objective of the thesis was to identify differences in perceptions of the importance of keeping traditions between generations, and this objective was met, in my opinion. The survey outcomes have shown that between groups of respondents there are some differences in perception of individual traditions, in the meaning given to individual traditions and the extent in which the Czech traditions are kept alive. Both groups, however, have a similar (negative) opinion of the modern traditions adopted from abroad. The importance of the thesis lies, in my opinion, in the description of individual generations relationships to Czech traditions as a demonstration of their own culture perception and the feeling of belonging to the society, but it also takes effect as a reminder of those often half-forgotten traditions and so the society´s cultural heritage, by pointing out the importance of intergenarational transmission of cultural values.

Culturological aspects of human resources development and stabilization of rural regions
POPELÁKOVÁ, Lenka
The principal aim of my dissertation was to specify and find out the sense of culturological aspects, which appeal on the development and stabilization of rural regions, to find the areas, where the culturological aspects could contribute to keep folks in the country and find the ways how to improve the satisfaction of folks with country life. I have tried to find the specific cultural symbols and dominant cultural dimensions of certain communities, which are the significant self-recognizable element of society. Our research was realized by standard questionnaire inquiry in Čkyně and Doudleby and by CSDT (Colour Semantic Differential Test). CSDT was used to get more complete information about communities of Čkyně and Doudleby and their dominant cultural dimensions. The results could be resumed into following. The problem, why people leave the countryside, is not based mainly on insufficient services and facilities. We can demonstrate it on Čkyně. However Čkyně has better public utilities than Doudleby, its inhabitants (especially the new arrivals and their children) are not satisfied as the inhabitants in Doudleby and they are likely to leave Čkyně in the future. Doudleby is the village with strong and still celebrated traditions. New arrivals are hearty welcome between the olds and they also participate on the local cultural life. The main contribution of my dissertation should have been the finding the influence of cultural traditions on stabilization the rural regions. Strong traditions join people together and improve social relations in the village. Traditions are the roots of folks that prevent them from leaving the countryside.
