Nature reserve versus development - a view of the Prague inhabitants living near the Prokop Valley.
Šašková, Ivana ; Uherek, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Stehlíková, Barbora (referee)
This thesis reacts to an increasing number of build-up areas and developer projects in Prokop Valley which is a nature reserve in Prague. It deals with the opinions and attitudes of people living close to this area. Prokop Valley belongs to significant locations in Prague, having unique values from many perspectives. The uniqueness lies in natural wealth, consisting of many rare and protected or endangered species of animals and plants, and also in geological and historical perspectives. Its authenticity is also relevant due to cultural landscape, which is a landscape that has been shaped not only by nature but also by humans. I am also discussing the topic of territorial protection, public space, and existing development alongside the planned ones. The thesis is based on qualitative research of semi-structured interviews, researching and describing their attitude towards the development, with the context of values, general awareness about the topic, and relationship with ecology and environment. I am working with concepts of biodiversity, ecology, and deep ecology, same as with phenomenological sociology.
