	Ghost Cities of Estonia Akindinov, Nikita ; Čunát, Matěj (referee) ; Dokoupilová Pazderková, Kateřina (advisor) The study on the topic of the ghost cities of Estonia draws a sad picture of certain mining and industrial settlements. The first chapter of the project includes historical and theoretical research about the ghost effect in places which were filled with mono functions. Before the USSR collapse economical and social chains of these communes were integrated in the system of the very close relationships with its center. At the same time there were no proposed long-term strategies on how cities can work and survive after the resource depletion. It brought towns and villages like Viivikonna to the point where the skeleton of the settlement still exists but its population is close to zero. Additionally this problem continued with the wave of the outflow of young people to large cities. The second and main chapter was to choose one of the ghost villages which still has some inhabitants. It was important to understand how we can make these places more livable for them and how it can work with the new points of attraction. In some aspects it could bring fresh public and financial interest to the area and open new work places for locals. Analyzing some examples of the different spots around Europe, there were determined certain healing tools which helped to warm up the interest among visitors at these areas. As a major thing for the reboot process there was chosen a cultural function. With the five steps program there was proposed a way how we can rebuild this area and involve it in the new processes with neighboring cities. Detailed record
	The vegetation succession of abandoned villages in České středohoří Mts. Staňková, Markéta ; Novák, Jan (advisor) ; Prach, Martin (referee) The České středohoří mts. is a mountain range with an interesting geological history and rich history of the 20th century. The mountain range is of volcanic origin, and despite the relatively steep hills and high altitude, it was densely populated. The population of this territory was mainly of German origin, German-speaking and the territory was part of the so-called Sudetenland. After the World War II, the German population was displaced, and a large part of the villages disappeared despite efforts of repopulation. The landscape used to form a mosaic which is now disappearing. In the areas of the former Sudetenland, the expansion of secondary forests at the expense of original fields and meadows is a common condition, as in other places in Europe or North America. Secondary succession is a phenomenon that is influenced by several factors, such as soil moisture, nutrient content or degree of shading. Thanks to the higher pH of the subsoil and the higher nutrient content, the villages have more ruderal and nitrophilous species than the surrounding ancient/continual forests. The historical way of farming has a significant influence on the landscape, and the question is to what extent this influence is irreversible. This bachelor's thesis is a literary research about successional vegetation of... Detailed record
	"Najdorf": Monography of the Defunct Village on Vitorazsko Region. Veith, Daniel ; Pargač, Jan (advisor) ; Šalanda, Bohuslav (referee) The present work maps a specific set of the traditional subsistence techniques by way of example of the abandoned village named Nová Ves u Klikova (1792-1953). In the 18th century occure changes in methods of forest exploitation in Central Europe in general. The increased demand for fuelwood and building wood gave rise to the "rationalization" of the forest management. Another source of energy for the developing industry was peat at that time. Nová Ves u Klikova was an example of the so called peat colonization. Small farmsteads were founded on the infertile peaty soil that was not able to ensure sufficient means of subsistence. As a consequence it was developed an important centre of production of straw baskets and chip baskets in the second half of the 19th century. The existing ethnological literature pursued the local production of baskets, whereas the topic of the cutting of peat and its further treating in relation to folk culture is still untreated. In view of that fact this text lays stress on the "cultural history of peat". Detailed record
