The Contribution of Farmers' Market to Czech Farmers
Procházková, Alena ; Fendrychová, Lenka (advisor) ; Spilková, Jana (referee)
This paper is focused on the represented contributions of farmers' markets to farmers and rural areas. The goal of this research is to find out if farmers' markets can be a thriving strategy for Czech farmers and if they represent the same contributions as the western authors introduce. The theoretical portion of this paper provides a review of the new paradigm of rural development, alternative food networks, farmers' markets and specifies the conditions of Czech agriculture. The contributions based on the literature research were used as material for interviews with farmers from three selected farmers' markets in Prague. According to the results from the interviews, it seems that the farmers' markets are partly a thriving strategy for Czech farmers despite differing conditions in agriculture. The farmers' market can be, for small Czech farmers, a way to increase their profits as well as provide them with a larger portion of the sales price. By contrast, the potential to increase employment by generating new job opportunity was not proved to be true. Only a small part of farmers needed to employ another person. Keywords: Farmers' market - Farmer - Producer - Contributions - Rural development - Prague

Transformation of a Local Community in Time: Influence of Facebook on Relationships
Tobrman, Michal ; Špačková, Petra (advisor) ; Spilková, Jana (referee)
The main aim of this thesis is to describe and analyze the nature of relationships of the originally local community and see what impact online social networks have on these relationships. The local community in this study is represented by one class of selected pupils from the primary school Na Smetance in Prague 2. For the main analysis were used mainly qualitative research methods: survey questionnaires and structured interviews with members of the screened community. The results showed that the transformation can be seen not only in the fragmentation of the local community into smaller groups of individuals with strong ties, but also in the influence of online social network Facebook, where relationships among members of the originally local community are maintenained. The analysis of strength relations between former classmates suggests that social network created by Facebook is essentially generated by weak ties, which are however indispensable for the creation of social capital. This thesis has contributed to the further understanding of the recent local community development. Keywords: local community, online social networks, Facebook, locality of Prague 2, social capital
