Waterfalls in Digital Topographic Databases and Digital Cartography
Pánová, Pavla ; Lysák, Jakub (advisor) ; Skalický, Filip (referee)
Waterfalls in Digital Topographic Databases and Digital Cartography Abstract The purpose of this work is to apprise a user with basic types of waterfalls and opportunities to improve information about them, especially to improve the ZABAGED database and a representation of The base map 1 : 10 000. The sectional purpose is to describe the waterfalls worldwide and their representation in foreign databases and maps, and a possibility to apply these findings for the Czech Republic. There will be presented a draft for automated creation of a cartographic presentation of the waterfalls and rapids for medium scale topographic maps, especially for The base map 1 : 10 000. There will be demonstrations of representation of the waterfalls from foreign and Czech sources as a supplement. Keywords: waterfalls, rapids, digital topographic database, digital cartography

Cognitive maps as a tool of perception of Czechs living in North America
Pánová, Pavla ; Dzúrová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Siwek, Tadeusz (referee)
The perception of American and Czech reality by long-time members of the Czech community in the USA is the purpose of this diploma thesis. The thesis will focus on the possibilities of using cognitive maps in the study of spatial preferences of two groups of migrants. The year 1989 is one of the most important milestones in Czechoslovakian and Czech history, so it was set as a determining date in this thesis as well. This year divided the respondents into two groups - the incoming migrants to the USA before 1989 (inclusive) and incoming migrants to the USA after 1989. Distribution of respondents into two groups then allowed comparison of preferences using both qualitative methods - assessment of cognitive maps, and quantitative methods - statistical testing of the hypothesis. An important part of the thesis has also become demonstrating possible ways of linking qualitative and quantitative research to achieve a deeper understanding of the issue. Key words: cognitive map, perception, preferences, migration, Czechia, USA
