Mazurová, Štěpánka ; Kůsová, Tereza (advisor) ; Čtvrtníková, Anna (referee)
Visual pollution is a problem that everyone encounters in public space every day. It has a particular impact on tourism destinations where the appearance of the place and its landscape character contributes significantly to the perception of visitors. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to describe visual pollution in Pec pod Sněžkou. A significant part of the thesis deals with the definition of the phenomenon from a multidisciplinary perspective, especially geography and Czech law, and summarises the measures in place in Czechia and abroad. The main research method is field research, and the result can be viewed in the web application1 . The research found that Pec pod Sněžkou is a dynamic destination with constant development. A large number of elements of visual pollution occurs particularly in area of reduced natural and landscape potential, especially category advertising, which is the most frequent found element. There are several reasons for this fact, but they are largely a concentration of buildings, visitors and services in the centre of the destination. Keywords: visual pollution, light pollution, impacts of tourism, Krkonoše National Park, field research 1 odkaz: https://experience.arcgis.com/template/08bb4541fd104b5fb65f8f92b4a71b67/
