Changes in traffic behaviour over the course of a lifetime: findings from a retrospective questionnaire survey
Nejedlá, Štěpánka ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Zevl, Jiří-Jakub (referee)
This bachelor thesis thematically falls under the topic of mobility biographies. The research focuses on events during the life of individuals that change their thinking about the choice of means of transport or influence the conditions under which the choice is made. Since this perspective on traffic behaviour research has been practised abroad for many years, this bachelor's thesis will be based on already obtained results from foreign countries. The main goal of this work will be to identify these events and determine their influence on the choice of means of transport. The methods used were a retrospective questionnaire, which brought information about the traffic behaviour, both from the present and especially from the past. The retrospective questionnaire was in the online form on social networks and distributed with the help of personal contacts. Ninety-two respondents filled out the questionnaire. Through the research in this thesis, it was found that traffic behaviour in our conditions is changing, namely based on key events that were among the most frequently mentioned in research in foreign countries as well. The impact of key events is different, and the power with which they can change the choice of transport mode is also diverse. All the events mentioned in this work, however, somehow...

Car dependence in Czechia: the example of municipalities with extended power Černošice and Kralovice
Dvořáček, Jan ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Zevl, Jiří-Jakub (referee)
Car dependence is a problem that has been closely linked to transport and land use planning since the mass spread of motoring in the second half of the 20th century. Excessive or total dependence on the car has many negative impacts, especially environmental and social ones. The aim of the study was to investigate the extent of car dependence in the Czech Republic in selected areas representing typical problem areas (periphery and suburbia), to identify and characterize the most dependent places in them. For this purpose, a network analysis of public transport accessibility carried out using a transport model of pedestrian accessibility in a GIS environment and the calculation of an indicator of car dependence were used. The results show that in the Czech environment in the study areas, the problem is more strongly related to small, mostly without the status of independent municipality rather than suburban neighbourhoods, which are most frequently mentioned in the Anglo-American literature. A very poor situation was also identified in what were formerly purely recreational second homes, but which are now partly permanently inhabited. Key words: car dependence, public transport, mobility, network analysis

Time-space structuration of the Prague Metropolitan Area
Zevl, Jiří-Jakub
This diploma thesis focuses upon mobility which structures time and space of Prague's hinterland. The time-space regions are conceptualised and serve to explore the structure of suburban space. The positioning data from mobile phones are used to investigate tangential mobility throughout suburban municipalities. It happened in two time-sections which distinguish the working and the service commute. The method of the time-space regionalisation was introduced for this purpose. In total, 45 local centres were found. Moreover, their regions were delimited and two regions without cores were delimited as well. The resulting time-space regions are distinguished into three types: small inner regions, large outer regions and river regions. The case study in Dolní Břežany municipality seeks causes and consequences of centrality in local scale. The significance of the thesis lies in partial, but highly interconnected contributions in all three dimensions: theory, methodology and empirics. Key words: mobility, suburbanisation, structuration, regionalisation, mobile data, Prague, Dolní Břežany

Settlements Morphology within the suburban zone of Prague
Zevl, Jiří-Jakub ; Ouředníček, Martin (advisor) ; Šifta, Miroslav (referee)
Settlements Morphology within the suburban zone of Prague This bachelor's thesis works on the topic of settlements morphology and structure of suburban landscape. The main aim of this paper is to measure and explain the changes in morphology of settlements in suburban zone of Prague after 1990. The paper shows that the morphology of post-socialist city hinterland is very specific and for this reason we specify the concept of urban sprawl into a form valid for post-socialist city. This concept is operationalized into three dimensions: settlement density, settlement structure and land-use pattern. The main benefit of this paper is the measure of urban sprawl itself and the surveillance of its evolution between 2007 and 2016. This paper shows that the evolution of urban sprawl is paradoxical in some ways and so it doesn't correspond to the general discourse about effects of suburbanisation. We explore urban sprawl on the level of urban region and two municipalities (Modletice, Ohrobec) where we focus on the particular effects and development participants. Key words: morphology, urban sprawl, suburbanisation, Prague urban region

Adjustment Problems of Immigrants
ZEVL, Jiří
The Bachelor thesis focuses on the topic "adjusting problems of migrants". In the theoretical part I explain the basic terms, such as "migration", "immigration", "emigration", "migrant" etc. I also try to enlighten the reasons for migrants moving into foreign countries. Further on I provide particular problems which immigrants might face in our country: starting with the process of gaining international security, accomodation, learning czech language and facts about our country, through to the dimension of their social integration.

Assessment of damage by animals on the family farm in Lhotice
ZEVL, Jiří
The aim of this work was to assess the damage caused by wild boar in terms of ecosystem-based pespective, take into account the influence of historical development, document the current status and predict the direction of development. I focused on the farm of Jiri Zevl in Lhotice. I analysed and evaluated the damages caused by wild boar. I already applied measures in terms of their actual effectiveness. In the years 2010, 2011 and 2012, I focused on all the fields on the farm, where damages were noticed. Farm in the period began to apply these two measures against damages caused by animals: chemical protection by Hukinol and also cultivation awned wheat varieties. I compared damage on fields before and after protection. I've always found out and filed damage just a few days before harvesting. For the actual detection and damage assessment, I chose the method of visual inspection. I measured and calculated surface damage I measured individual damaged areas with a tape measure and method of irregular shapes transformed into geometric shapes, Than I calculated their area. According to my research is chemical protection effective as well as the growing awned wheat varieties. In 2010, there were used no precautions, was the damage 31,539 CZK and there was damaged 18.3% of the area of all fields in research. In 2011, the financial loss decreased to 14 941 CZK and the area damaged by animals to 3.7 % of the total area. In 2012, the damaged area was 7.8 % and financial loss increased to 29 054 CZK. In conclusion I make recommendations for further action that should dechne damages in the coming years. On the issue of damage caused by wild boar on crops, I have two suggestions: 68 First: It is neccesary to handle this issue since its inception. Increase in the numbers of wild boars has caused intensive farming that disrupted the flow of energy in the country. The solution could be partial cancellation of obligations of users of hunting grounds cover damage caused by animals. It is necessary to rethink the system, which works now. Not only hunters should be responsible for damage, but also farmers, or owners. Second: It is necessary to solve the problem of farmers and users of hunting grounds together. It is necessary to choose such a user hunting who will cooperate and will take care to avoid damage. Recovery of damages from the users of hunting area doesn´t solve the problem in the long term sight, it is only a short-term basis and short-sighted.
