Influence of urbanization patterns on the escape behaviour of birds
Dontová, Alena ; Mikula, Peter (advisor) ; Brlík, Vojtěch (referee)
Urbanization, i.e., the anthropogenic transformation of natural habitats into urban areas, has significant impact on the biodiversity. One of the key factors for successful animal survival in urban environments is the increase in their tolerance towards humans manifested by their decreased shyness. One of the field methods for assessing the level of the shyness across different individuals, populations, and species of animals is measuring their flight initiation distance. In this thesis, I focus primarily on birds, as their responses have been most extensively studied. Previous studies focused on differences in escape behaviour among birds mainly between urban and rural areas, and focused mainly on Europe and North America. However, human settlements vary in their history, size, population density, and other characteristics. Therefore, the observed patterns in bird behaviour may not always be universally applicable across all cities. In this thesis, through a literature review, I summarize how the escape behaviour of birds differs not only between urban and rural environments but also depending on the characteristics of human settlements, such as their size, history, degree of urbanization, the density of the local human population and the ecoregion. I found that the most important characteristics are the...

Sustainable urban neighbourhood design of a Czech city
Faryová, Markéta ; Řehák, Filip (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of the master's thesis was to propose a solution for the current urban structure, based on the principles of economic, social, and environmental sustainability – the urban vision of the city of Břeclav. The defined area is bordered by 1. máje street and the embankment of the relief arm of the Dyje river; to the east, it neighbors the historical center, and to the south, residential buildings and a hospital. Various types of buildings are found in this area: supermarkets, storage facilities, industrial complexes, residential buildings etc. However, the density of development is not high. Residential buildings within the defined area are preserved. Buildings unsuitable for the central part of the city due to their character, design, or scale will be replaced or relocated to a more suitable location. The newly proposed structure represents a compact part of the city, mainly comprising urban blocks typical of urban space. It also responds to the surrounding existing development, connecting the older and newer parts of the city. A part of the proposal involves making accessible and integrating parts of the millrace into the public space as a significant element of Břeclav's identity, which abounds in natural wealth. Together with other principles, emphasis was placed on creating a space for people that serves as a home, workplace, meeting point, and living space.

Urban analysis of the village and conceptual design of public and development sites in Dubňany u Hodonína
Štefančíková, Tereza ; Tichý, Jan (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
This bachelor thesis presents a comprehensive urban analysis of the town Dubňany near Hodonín, Czech Republic, and proposes a conceptual solution for two selected public spaces – the town square and the former village green. The proposed design serves as an aim to revitalize and enhance the town’s environment. The first part of the thesis is dedicated for an in-depth analysis of the town. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to an in-depth analysis of the town. This analysis serves to understand the character of the town and identify key urban problems, which are the focus of the second part of the thesis. The second part of the thesis focuses on the conceptual design of two selected public spaces: the town square and the former village green. Based on a study of relevant literature and an analysis of the current state of the town square, changes are proposed that emphasize its character as the town's main public space. The conceptual design focuses on addressing its excessive size (in relation to the size of the town) and its unclear definition. In addition, it takes steps to promote outdoor activities, revitalize the space, and make it more attractive to town citizens. Similarly, based on a study, analysis of the current state, and identification of shortcomings, a design for the former village green is proposed. The aim of the design is to restore the historical significance of the village green as a center of activity and a meeting place, while also making the space more attractive for leisure activities. Due to the small size of the town, where another main public space would not find sufficient use, it is proposed to revitalize the former village green in the form of a town park. The park would add a missing element to the urban structure, while also revitalizing the space and attracting citizens. The thesis offers a comprehensive urban analysis of the town of Dubňany near Hodonín and conceptual solutions for two selected public spaces. Both designs reflect the specificities of the given locations, utilize their potential, and aim to revitalize and enhance the town's environment.
