TRANSFORMATION OF THE POST-INDUSTRIAL AREA OF MODETA JIHLAVA
Fojtová, Lucie ; Štěpánková, Lenka (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
The subject of this thesis is an architectural and urbanistic study of the transformation of the textile factory Modeta in Jihlava. The result is the design of a multifunctional social facility and its integration into the so-called Stříbrné údolí (Silver Valley) site and the overall urban structure of Jihlava. The proposal is divided into two main stages in connection with the city’s current needs. The first stage uses existing premises without major construction interventions and investments. The second stage deals with the detailed design of the multifunctional building and the urban design of the site, particularly in relation to the nearby zoological garden.

Prostorové kvality výstavních areálů v České republice
Štěpánková, Lenka
The five most important exhibition grounds in the Czech Republic were analysed to discover how their spatial layouts are related to the type of the venue and its connection to the city. Apart from the function and space structure, the historical development, legal status and ownership as well as planning issues were taken into account as they can help to explain specific traits of some of the exhibition grounds and obvious differences between them. During the process emphasis was on the use of open source data so the analysis can be repeated in future with the results being either verified or refined, and so the research can possibly be extended to exhibition grounds in other European cities.

Evaluation of smoking prevalence in patients with Schizophrenia and Depression and the use of ambulance for treatment of tobacco addiction in Bohnice psychiatric hospital.
Havlíková, Petra ; Štěpánková, Lenka (advisor) ; Drbohlavová, Barbora (referee)
Background: The link between psychiatric disorders and smoking is a topic that has only begun the past few years ago. Many studies have shown a high prevalence of smokers among patients with psychiatric disorders which is roughly two or three times higher than in the general population. Despite this phenomenon, the smoking of patients with this diagnosis in the Czech Republic, especially in institutional care, is rather overlooked and often even encouraged. So far, there has been no uniform approach by staff to introduce the necessary, systematic programs, interventions, and smoking cessation training. Staff in these institutions often rely on the belief that these patients are not interested in professional help. Objective: The main objective of the research was to determine the prevalence of smoking in Bohnice Psychiatric Hospital in patients with schizophrenia and depression. The partial objective was to find out whether, and what intervention is provided by staff and what is the interest of patients in quitting smoking. Another aim of the work was to find access of healthcare professionals and patients to smoking cessation intervention in the hospital and then to check the current use of smoking cessation help at Bohnice Psychiatric Hospital. Methodology: A questionnaire survey was conducted...

CHANGE OF THE AREA OF BRNO FAIRS / Transformation of the western part of the complex /
Bauer, Karel ; Štěpánková, Lenka (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
Brno trade fairs are the heart of Central Europe for exhibitions of everything interesting for already more than 90 years. Nevertheless, the most valuable exhibits are the urban and architectural values of the complex, which are reflecting the development of modern Czech architecture. Even after years of development, it is still necessary to look to the future, to solve the coming problems of generosity, to keep the high level of the area, to support its function and to keep legacy of the fairs for the next generation. As the main happenings moves further from the city centre, the issue is still more up to date on how to handle the west side of this area. In my work, I set out clearly the future urban planning of the trade fairs and divide the various functions into logically integrated areas. In the west part, I am creating a new administrative centre with a lot of other associated services. The basic idea is to create a permanent supporting superstructure, into which the variable function is inserted. I take advantage of the basic principles of smart city, flexibility and the versatility of buildings. To achieve a good connection of the complex with the surrounding area, I maintain the existing transport connections and make new possibilities of movement through the complex and the surrounding areas. This creates a new modern part of the complex, which could evolve over time based on the needs and requirements of its users.

Geoprostorová analýza veletržních areálů
Štěpánková, Lenka
The European exhibition centres may show some unique features but they also have many things in common. Their typical qualities can be identified using the spatial analysis. The metod described in this paper is devised to exploit the data available on internet and to create the visual output based on the data. Such analysis can be used to examine the size and structure of the venues as well as their position within the cities. The possible further use of the metod in urban research is indicated eventually.

BACKGROUND - This thesis works on the assumption that one's own experience with smoking cessation along with the habit-breaking patterns that one gains from this experience, might have a positive influence on addiction treatment. It is assumed that these patterns help client with the overall treatment, the relapse prevention, motivation issues and continued abstinence. AIMS - The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effect of smoking cessation experience and the role it plays in the therapeutic community. I also focused my research on the clients' perception of the tobacco using in relation to their health, life and complete abstinence concept. METHODS - Both current smokers and ex-smokers as well as clients of two therapeutic communities were subjected to qualitative analysis. Purposive sampling method was used to select the respondents for semi-structured interview. Content analysis and partly interpretative phenomenological analysis were used to process the collected data.

Smoking cessation among patients in residential treatment for alcohol dependence
Adamíková, Žaneta ; Štěpánková, Lenka (advisor) ; Vacek, Jaroslav (referee)
Background: In the Czech Republic, alcohol and tobacco are the most widely used addictive substances. Although use of these substances is legal for those 18 years or older, they can lead to serious health consequences. Especially among alcohol (or other drugs) dependent persons in recovery, the prevalence of regular smoking compared to the general population is much higher. Nevertheless, in these settings within the Czech Republic, tobacco smoking is often overlooked and for the staff there is no standard approach for introducing the systematic programs for quitting smoking. It is often based on theory that these patients have no motivation or interest in professional assistance with quitting smoking. Objective: The primary objective of the research was to assess the motivation of patients dependent on alcohol and tobacco, currently undergoing the residential medium-term treatment to quit smoking. A secondary objective was to highlight the issue of smoking among these patients and find out what their view is on the possibilities of tobacco dependence treatment in the setting and whether they would be interested in professional assistance with quitting smoking. Methodology: Questionnaire-based research was conducted among patients in the 5 health care services for the addiction treatment throughout...
