Landscape memory in local memory - Borová district
Jirková, Lucie ; Skaloš, Jan (advisor) ; Josef, Josef (referee)
Bachelor thesis compares the actual change of landscape, shown on different historical and present maps, to local residents perception of those changes. The bachelor thesis focuses on local residents, who remember the period of collectivization and normalization. This thesis is focused mostly on changes between 1953 and 2014, in which ortophotomaps, that show the actual state the best, were made. Sources, used in this work, were map of stable cadastre, ortophotomaps, chronicles, paintings, photographs, data for GIS from LUCC Czechia database and interviews with residents.
Interviews with local residents were performed during the period of December 2015 to February 2016. Those interviews were semi-structured and were focused on the period of the 30s, 40s and 50s of the 20th century, which is the period of biggest changes in the landscape structure.
Information from those interviews were compared to information from Stable cadastre map and ortophotomaps from years 1953 and 2014, which show the real state the best.

Landscape memory in the memory of its inhabitants - Hostavice district.
Tančevová, Laura ; Skaloš, Jan (advisor) ; Josef, Josef (referee)
This bachelor thesis attempts to create the most detailed summary of changes in the landscape for the past 175 years of Hostavice which is located in the eastern suburbs of Prague. The primary purpose of this study is to compare changes in terms of maps and from the perspective of original residentst, and provide an overview about the cadastral area from different perspectives. One of the ways to get to the main goal of this research work is to analyze the trends of most signficant changes in the land use of a small cadastral territory called Hostavice. This will be done primarily by reviewing historical maps, statistics, chronicles and others. Based on results of this analysis, another objective is to conduct semistructured interviews with the original residents of this cadastral territory to find out their recollections of as well as opinions on these changes. There is also more specific study of characteristic of the area. The work will contribute its share to the overall processing memory of the landscape in the memory of people.

Comparison of various methods monitoring insect diversity in sown flower strips and neighboring fields of winter wheat and winter oilseed rape
Kolařík, David ; Kazda, Jan (advisor) ; Josef, Josef (referee)
In this study we deal with comparison of insect monitoring methods on flowering strip, wheat and oilseed rape. The experiment is located at two study sites: Crop Research Institute at Ruzyně and Experiment unit of Czech University of Life Sciences in Uhříněves. The experiment was carried out in 2015.
To make monitoring we utilized sweeping net, Möricke yellow traps, transect counting and as a supplementary method we utilized light trap. Monitoring was done in 25 of June, 16 of July and 12 of August 2015. These dates were chosen because of flowering of the strip which was the most important issue in this study. As a result of this the insect diversity in other almost harvested variants was quite low.
The most important insect species quantities were collected from Möricke traps in all three variants. But this fact could be naturally based on the attractivity of the yellow color, so we can´t reliably say, if in out of bloom rape or wheat could be present this high amount of insect or if it is only being attracted by color of the trap from the neighborhood.
The second method with the highest insect occurrence was sweeping net. Again the highest species diversity was described from the flowering strip.
The lowest amount of insects was noted in transect counting. This method has (contrastingly to the others) disadvantage in the high possibility of fail to detect small insect, which are normally noticed by the other methods.
Light trap monitored about the highest species number, where the majority of species belong to order Lepidoptera. That sway this method was employed only to enrich the species diversity.

The financing of local authorities in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic
Ženíšková, Petra ; Čermák, Jiří (advisor) ; Josef, Josef (referee)
As the name suggests, the thesis is focused on the issue of financing of municipalities in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic, with a sub-aim of the thesis presents the comparison of the systems of budgetary allocation of taxes in both countries. The theoretical part, namely the literature review, defines the public sector, state administration and territorial self-government, defines villages, their revenues and expenditure and, finally, describes the systems of budgetary allocation of taxes. The core of the second, analytical part consists of a targeted analysis of the management of the selected municipalities, i.e. municipalities of the Czech and of the Slovak, in the years 2009-2014. This part also contains a brief description of the selected municipalities and model calculations of the predicted and hypothetical revenues ( according to the model of financing of the second state), with which it is carried out the comparison of the systems of budgetary allocation of taxes of the two states. At the conclusion of the thesis are described and evaluated the results.

Analysis of economy selected towns or villages
Vodolánová, Lucie ; Homolka, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Josef, Josef (referee)
Diploma thesis "Analysis of economy selected towns or villages", deals with the analysis of incomes and expenses in municipalities of Řimovice and Trhový Štěpánov in the years 2009 - 2014. The thesis consists of two parts: theoretical and practical part.
Theoretical part of the thesis is based on the study of technical literature and concentrates on the explanation of basic terms related to municipality management and operation and on the brief characteristic of selected municipalities.
The practical part deals with the analysis of municipal management, which is based on the gained underlying data. For the evaluation of municipality management, financial ratios, time series and the self-sufficiency rate is used. Also, the practical part includes a questionnaire survey carried out in municipality of Řimovice, which serves to find out the satisfaction with the municipality management among inhabitants.
The results of analyses, selected indicators and the questionnaire survey in the municipality of Řimovice show following conclusions: Both municipalities faced with the deficit budget in the monitored period, caused mainly by investment activities. Deficits were settled mostly through the approved loans. The municipality of Trhový Štěpánov uses more the available grants for its funding than the municipality of Řimovice, which was also one of the things that the inhabitants of Řimovice were not satisfied with in the questionnaire survey. However, the management of both municipalities can be considered stable.

Basic comparison winter wheat and neighboring flowering strip
Suchý, Viktor ; Kazda, Jan (advisor) ; Josef, Josef (referee)
Summary
The winter wheat belongs to the staple crop not only around the whole world, but also in the Czech Republic, where it has been grown on about 38 percent of the cultivated land and, regarding the general share of cereals, on 60 percent of the cultivated land. Since the cereals do not provide nectar, nor are they the valuable source of pollen, as regards to the diversity of insects the cereals provide rather poor environment. The lack of food resources for the living species of insects in the agricultural landscape influenced by the high ratio of cereals should be compensated by flowering strips. Regardless of the potential of the flowering strips to support the biodiversity of insects in landscapes, the flowering strips could boost useful species of insects in surrounding plants and help with pest control.
In 2014 the research experiment on a flowering nectar-rich biostrip supposedly improving the presence of pollinators as well as natural enemies was done on the field of the research station in Uhrineves, Prague. In autumn 2014 the winter wheat was sowed and then in spring 2015 the flowering strips consisting of 12 plant species were sowed along one side of the winter wheat field. The observations of the insect species presence were always conducted during favourable climatic conditions from the beginning of June until the harvest of winter wheat in late July. Insect captures were conducted using Moericke traps method once or twice a week and sweep-netting method once every two weeks. The number of insects species such as predators (Coccinellidae, Cantharidae, Staphylinidae), parasitoids (Hymenoptera parasitica) and pollinators (Syrphidae) were observed. Simultaneously, the intensity of flowering including species of weeds was assessed. The open flowers were counted on four unchanged spots on the field, the area of 1 square metre. MS Excel was used for data processing.
The hypothesis of the project has been confirmed. Using the sweepnetting methods, the higher number of monitored insect species has been found in the flowering strips compared to the wheat vegetation. Significantly higher number of parasitic wasps specimens has been observed. The sweepnetting method is considered as an appropriate in comparison to Moericke traps, which have been luring the insects in the vicinity, but have not proved the real presence of insects in the cover.

Basic comparison of insect species diversity in various varieties of winter oilseed rape and neighboring flowering strip
Souček, Jiří ; Kazda, Jan (advisor) ; Josef, Josef (referee)
Rape seed is an very important crop in Czech republic. It is and economic plant and also good plant for another plants sowned another year. This caused that a lot of fields is sowned with rape seed. Rape seed is demanding a lot of chemistry against pests. This cause that in those fields is lower insect biodiversity. Flowering strips could be helpful to get higher insect biodiversity. Also it could help to decrease pests in rape seed.
Research was observing insect predators (Syrphidae, Staphylinidae, Coccinillidae, Cantharidae) and parasitoids (Hymenoptera parasitica).
Moericke traps were not a good choice for measurments of insect predators and it didnt prove higher diversity of those predators. However, Moerickeho traps proved that higher number of Brassicogethes were correlating with higher number of parasitoids.
