Accessibility of Transport Nodes from the Perspective of People with Disabilities
Navrátil, Jan ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (referee) ; Tichý, Jan (advisor)
The bachelor thesis entitled Accessibility of Transport Nodes from the Perspective of People with Disabilities deals with selected most important transport nodes in Havlíčkův Brod. The first part of the thesis deals with the theory that describes the individual elements that are within the framework of safe and barrier-free use of roads. The second part of the thesis is practical, where suggestions for improving the selected routes are made. Accessibility of transport nodes from the perspective of people with disabilities is a document that serves as a concept to develop safety and accessibility of transport nodes in cities. This work can also serve as a basis for investors who want to build or repair places that are not easily accessible and potentially dangerous for people with disabilities. The work is created with the intention that people with disabilities can safely complete the routine journeys they use every day. The adaptations are designed for all types of disabled people, which include those with physical, visual and hearing impairments. The town of Havlíčkův Brod was chosen for this work due to the fact that there is a large transport hub in the form of a train and bus station, which are complemented by public transport stops. The routes connecting the individual objects are analysed in terms of barrier-free use and their current condition.

Accessibility of Transport Nodes from the Perspective of People with Disabilities
Baláž, Matěj ; Erben, Adam (referee) ; Tichý, Jan (advisor)
The thesis focuses on the accessibility of public transport nodes for people with disabilities in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part is a review of Czech legislation related to the issue of accessible environment and theories for designing barrier-free environment used in practice. The practical part includes an analysis of the specific area of the Stará Osada transfer node and its connection to the Brno-Židenice railway station. It maps the barriers around the transfer node and the route to the Brno-Židenice railway station and suggests solutions for eliminating these barriers. It has been found that there are no adequate barrier-free adaptations in the Stará Osada change node to provide trouble-free mobility for people with disabilities. The outcome of the practical part is a design of modifications in the area in question to improve the current situation.

Gemini
Mikulcová, Klára ; Marek, Jiří (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is the building modifications of a secondary school for handicapped students in Brno, in the city district of Lesná. The existing building is inadequate for the needs of students with disabilities, therefore only the existing supporting structure of the building (columns, ceiling above 1NP, foundation structures) will remain, the perimeter walls and roof will be replaced by newly designed structures that meet the current thermal requirements. The building consists of two parts – a two-storey former nursery building (designated as Building A) with a single-storey glazed extension with atrium and a two-storey heat exchanger building (Building B), of which only 2NP is used for school purposes. The school and heat exchanger buildings are connected by a newly designed link across the width of the secondary school building, replacing the existing neck. A new material-contrasting glass staircase extension with a lift is proposed on the north side of Building A to allow wheelchair access to the building from Vaculíkova Street. In addition, a steel structure escape staircase extension with lift is proposed on the east side with a metal trellis with climbing plants. A reinforced concrete structure of the entrance ramp with a terrace for students' meeting is added to Building B from the north side (from Vaculíkova Street). On the south side, a pre-set steel terrace with a trellis for climbing plants has been added, which serves as a shade during the summer months. The school building is functionally divided into a student accommodation part located on the 2NP in the eastern part, a teaching part (classrooms and teachers' offices) on the 1NP of the A building and the 2NP of the exchanger, an operationally separated administrative part (offices, boardroom, headmaster's office, secretariat) accessible from the street by a ramp. In the western part of the 1NP there are technical facilities of the building - janitorial, kitchen, training kitchen and food stores, the facilities are accessible by a separate supply entrance accessible via the existing road leading from the south. The design emphasizes the pleasant, comfortable and safe stay and movement of students not only during classes but also during breaks.

Design of Upper Limb Assistive Device
Minaříková, Olga ; Krawczyk, Petr (referee) ; Zamazal, Jan (referee) ; Zdařil, Zdeněk (referee) ; Zvonek, Miroslav (advisor)
This work deals with a new approach of designing ortho-prosthetic devices in terms of mechanical solution and innovative design. The work was addressed to a specific patient with congenital malformation of upper limbs called phocomelia. A custom-made compensatory aid was made on basis of personal consultations and meetings on specialized workplace; however the aid was built in a way and from parts for other kind of disability. As it turned out, the use of this equipment is associated with many complications, and therefore as a result, this solution proved as unsatisfactory. Nevertheless, thanks to this compensation aid it was possible to specify the problems, to reveal important patterns and highlight the needs for development of entirely new and unique aid designed for patients with phocomelia disability. The work is based on these findings and knowledge acquired from bibliographic search in the field of orthotics, prosthetics, assistive devices and prosthetic equipment. A complete redesign was done with the aim to eliminate all detected problems. The presented result is a unique tool for people with specific congenital disability of upper limbs, with working label 4TE.

Hlista, Filip ; Vranová, Daniela (referee) ; Boleslavská, Yvona (advisor)
The subject of this diploma thesis was to elaborate an architectural study of sheltered workshops in Brno-Lesná city district. Part of the project was to design spaces of the Gemini high school for the disabled, create new functional units and increase the capacity of school facilities. The design is focused in the nearest proximity to the main building and uses its current state as much as possible. An essential part of the design was to design a new object with a mixed sports-therapeutic function, which is connected to the school by a bridge. On the other side, the former heat transfer station, used as screening hall, is also connected by a bridge. On the south side, a new dining room, kitchen and a restaurant under schools administration is being built, which serves to integrate pupils into society. The design consists of three buildings with separate functions.

Obstacles in life
Jedličková, Eliška ; Sobotka, Jiří (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
In my bachelor's thesis, I decided to devote my study to the field of sports, the personality of the athlete and especially his psyche. I am interested in connecting the inner feeling of the athlete and the given movement, which in my interpretation, is jumping over an obstacle. I don´t want to point out and portray the realistic, perfectly shaped body of the athlete, but I want to portray the inner feelings, dynamics, mechanicalness and disturbed concentration, which should be embodied by the individual segments.
