Vosátková, Veronika ; Lipský, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Matějček, Tomáš (referee)
The aim of this study is to bring a light into the situation of wind calamity which happened 19.11.2004. After the physicographical analysis of this locality, I will try to bring the whole picture of this catastrophe, its causes and mostly consequences left on the tatra nature. I will pay special attention to regeneration of the country and following steps in dealing with this calamity because of two different opinions on the picture of Tatras. Finally, I will discuss future progress in Tatra mountains and i will try to answer the question, whether was a worse catastrophe a wind calamity or human intervention in this locality afterwards.

Externalities in transport with emphasis on spatial aspects
Tomášek, Radek ; Matějček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hanus, Martin (referee)
Externalities in transport with emphasis on spatial aspects. Summary This Thesis deals with the externalities of transport with an emphasis on spatial externalities. It is divided into eight chapters which are then broken down into individual subsections. In the basic concepts chapter is included the theoretical part characterizing the phenomenons of transport and externalities, possibilities of quantification, solving and internalization of transport externalities and the current situation in the Czech Republic. The chapter Practical part includes specific studies and their results. First, the model area of Výtoň is described and there are given at least the basic information regarding the functioning of traffic lights, followed by the methodology of the survey and its results. This research is also followed by the questionnaire survey dealing with the pedestrian traffic in Prague. Both surveys point to the same goal which is to find out about the influence of fragmentation of the landscape on the lives of the city's inhabitants. This goal was achieved in the final chapter, which summarizes the most important findings from both surveys. KEY WORDS: Externalities, space, fragmentation, road transport, city, pedestrian crossing with traffic lights

Destruction of natural habitat - aplication to geographical education
Babčaníková, Petra ; Matějček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Král, Luboš (referee)
The subject of essay, the destruction of natural habitats, is very up-to-date nowdays. Human activities has a negative impact upon the natural environment. In essay, there are summarize the causes and consenquences of destruction of endangered ecosystems. The types of organisms eco-environmental conditions of their demise also disappearing .This rapidly reduces the biodiversity of the site. The essay is divided into two parts. The first part deals with theoretical introduction in the form of literary search by subject on the destruction of natural habitats. Particular chapters are divided according to the ecosystems (coral reefs, mangroves, wetlands, lakes, forest's ecosystems), separetely is the process of habitat fragmentation which also conduces to the destruction of natural habitats. Deforestation has the highest proportion on the destruction of ecosystems, this is why this topic is taken in the biggest part of essay accordingly with the addition of deforestation in the world. The second part constains aplication of specialized topic into the geographic education by the definition of basic concepts and designing a worksheet for high school students. The aim is to develop in students a global mindset and awaken interest in sustainable development. Dissolution of natural habitats is an important...

The level of invasion by alien plants in the Ploučnice River basin
Šenová, Vendula ; Matějček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Romportl, Dušan (referee)
The level of invasion varies according to the habitat type. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the level of invasion in the basin of the Ploučnice River in North Bohemia. The values of the level of invasion were quantified for vegetation plots from the Czech National Phytosociological Database and for segments of riverbank vegetation which were mapped at own field research. Ten maps showing the level of invasion by alien plants were developed based on a quantitative assessment of the level of invasion of particular habitat types at different altitudes. The levels of invasion were measured as proportion of the species that are aliens and total cover of alien species, the same was done for archeophytes and neophytes separately. The other option to quantify the level of invasion was using levels of count of invasive neophytes in the riverbank vegetation. Within each habitat the level of invasion was related to altitude. If the relation was significant, the level of invasion in that habitat was extrapolated according to that relation to altitude. Mean levels of invasion were used for the habitats which the relation was non-significant for. The west, northeast and the central parts of the assessed basin were evaluated as the most invaded areas. It is caused by the occurrence of the most invaded...

Possibilities of integration of geography and art
Horáková, Petra ; Matějček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kučera, Zdeněk (referee)
Integrated teaching has found its place at the Czech schools particularly during the last years. By using of this method we can reach for increasing of students' knowledge and especially it can help to understand the relations between subjects and better connect one information with another one. The integration of subjects leads to the development of key's competences of pupils. In my thesis I'm dealing with possibilities of integration of geography and art which haven't been comprehensive processed yet. The interconnection of subjects is possible in terms of contents or as an alternative to didactics games or as a mean to the development of knowledge and skills of the pupil. This way of integrated learning has also a motivating effect and helps to improve a lot of key's competences. In my thesis I'm analysing the curriculum documents and searching for common themes for geography and art but I'm also dealing with the suggestions of concrete activities and their application into practice. The part of my thesis is a presentation of a model lesson and the evaluation of benefits and effectiveness of the studied teaching method through a didactics test.

Analysis of selected geography tests
Macháček, Štěpán ; Řezníčková, Dana (advisor) ; Matějček, Tomáš (referee)
This work aims to use of educational tests in geography. After literature analysis is made a set of criteria for quality assessment tests. Subsequently, the selected criteria are used to evaluate selected geographical tests. Part of research is a questionnaire survey of teachers, which is focused on ways of testing pupils. The experts are pushing to critically address the educational community with regard to the poor situation of testing in schools. At the same time is currently preparing a new state school leaving examination and the question arises whether the proposed illustrative test leaving examination of geography is a step forward. After analyzing this test, noting that this problem in terms of the revised Bloom's taxonomy higher than commonly used tests that were evaluated in the next section. Yet 37.5% of jobs do not qualify in terms of clarity and correctness of the award. Analysis of the test group of 23 normal school practice even harder hit. Conducted survey showed that the methods of testing in schools are very similar. So we can expect that the quality of tests is in most schools at a low level. Despite the number of errors is a new concept of leaving the test step forward, although highly uncertain, lies a shift in quality is evident from the final analysis. Keywords: Educational...
