Bohumil Hrabal's Libeň
Zavadilová, Veronika ; Županič, Jan (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Michaela (referee)
In my diploma thesis, I looked at part of Prague 8 - Libeň, in the kontext of the life and work of writer Bohumil Hrabal. I tried to show Libeň in the twentieth century, when the famous writer lived there. At first I made efforts to describe Bohumil Hrabal's life and Libeň, how we can find it in his books. Than I outlined the history of Libeň. In the main part I tried to show real locations in Libeň, which Bohumil Hrabal visited and he liked them. It was mainly Libeň castle, a lot of views of hills in Libeň, the vicinity of Vltava river and Rokytka brook and atmosphere of pubs in Libeň. The diploma thesis shows Libeň in last century especially in the kontext of Hrabal's trialogy Weddings in the house.

DAŇKOVÁ, Šárka
The aim of this thesis is to capture and describe the development and current trends in the issues of second housing in the Czech Republic, with particular emphasis on investigation of recreational facilities in gardening colony Prague-Libeň. In the introductory part of this thesis the author describes a typology of recreational sites, their development and current status (expansion of recreational areas, morphological types of settlements, location of recreational facilities due to a permanent residence). The subsequent section focuses on the issues of gardening area Prague-Libeň, one of the oldest in the Czech Republic. The thesis also deals with history of the site as well as its situation nowadays - because of its location near attractive building plots (housing project Prague Marina, residential area DOCK) the colony is facing the efforts of being liquidate. On the example of Libeň gardening colony the author of this thesis points out legislative, ownership and locally-administrative aspects of the existence of urban gardening colony. The thesis also includes the qualitative sociological survey amongst residents of the colony. This survey is focused on their motivation for acquisition and subsequent maintenace of a recreational facility, social structure of the owners and how they perceive the real threat to the existence of this colony.
