Návrhy využití geografických informačních systémů v hodinách zeměpisu na základních a středních školách
NERAD, Jiří
This diploma thesis deals with the practical integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) into geography classes at elementary and secondary schools. Suggested suggestions on how to use GIS in the educational process precede the theoretical starting point of the work. They deal with the wider context of the position of geoinformatics and the level of geoinformatics literacy in the Czech Republic. Sub-chapters about the structure of geoinformatic literacy are also included. The theoretical background continues with the topic of anchoring GIS in national education papers and ends with a chapter about GIS interdisciplinarity and its potential for use in teaching. The methodological part describes the structure of the questionnaire, the methodology of selection of addressed schools and the actual course of the questionnaire survey on the rate of use of GIS in geography classes at elementary and secondary schools. Next, the methodology of selecting freeware GIS programs described and used in the practical part of the thesis. The practical part is divided into three main subchapters reflecting the aims of the thesis. The first one deals with the results of the questionnaire survey. The second evaluation of available GIS programs and their potential for implementation in education. The last subchapter is the main part of the thesis and it deals with suggestions of using GIS in geography lessons at elementary and secondary schools. It includes three learning activities. The first is dedicated to creating own map and second to geographic location. Both of these activities with selected GIS were implemented in geography classes at primary school. The last part presents suggestions on how to use GIS to learn about current topics and issues.
Identification of urban axes in settlement system of the Czech republic
NERAD, Jiří
This bachelor thesis deals with urban axes of the settlement system of the Czech Republic. Before the analysis of urban axes the evolution of spatial and relational organization within settlement systems is described. Periodization of the development of the settlement systesms is made by three-stage model, wich generalizes their evolution into three stages: pre-industrial, industrial and post-industrial stage. A part of this chapter is also and outline of the some specifics and controlled deformations in the development of the Czech settlement structure. Another chapter discusses the theoretical basis of the spatial inter-urban interactions with an emphasis on commuting to work and transport interactions. The methodology part presents the methods of the spatial urban axes definition and also describes the data base including its shortcomings. The first analytical part deals briefly with nodal interactions of the settlement system and defines basic attributes of the Czech settlement structure. The main empirical part of the bachelor thesis then analyzes "overnodal" relations in the Czech settlement system. These relations are followed up in the form of daily transport and commuting interactions between settlements. Based on its reciprocal inter-urban intensity are in the final phase of work defined main urban axes with the complex interdependence.
