Where is the community? Case study of neighborhoods in Žiar nad Hronom
Kirschnerová, Hana ; Illner, Michal (advisor) ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee)
Community and its ties to locality have been bothering sociologists and researchers since society has abandoned its traditional organization. Many of them considered positive and negative aspects of industrial and later modern society's influence on community sense and human relationships. This thesis will walk the reader through the influential writings on the topic of community, meaning of space and human relationships. Starting with the appreciation of traditional community, through worries about its disappearance, diminishing importance of local ties and ending with complete anonymity and individualization. The empirical part of this thesis brings up results of the research conducted in neighborhoods of Žiar nad Hronom, town in central Slovakia. Findings from the interviews were confronted with ideas of New Urbanism, basically confirming role of architecture design in neighbors' relationships. Intensity, frequency and quality of interaction among neighbors are thus influenced by factors of spatial design, length of residence and busyness of residents. Nature of the relationships among neighbors is far from ideal (as in traditional community) but people look for communities in wider sense, creating networks with people from other social circles than those bounded to a place.

Kopřivnice – Housing along Kopřivnička
Kóňová, Patrícia ; Mašek, Radomír (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
The prefabricated apartment buildings are on the west bank of the river and family houses on the east bank of the river. On the east side there are private areas of family houses and on the west side there are prefabricated buildings with poor quality public spaces. There is only the anonymity of the city, isolation and a lack of human dimension. My concept solves the problem of combining two opposing approaches. It emphasizes neighborly relations in the form of community and the development of community thinking. What should urbanism that unites people look like?

City within City
Menšíková, Kateřina ; Žalmanová, Petra (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the design of a set of residential buildings based on the cohousing principle. The proposed buildings consist of three apartment buildings intended for community housing of three social groups - seniors, students and young families. The design works with varying degrees of privacy and is based on a classic urban block typical for the area. It leaves the public parter as the street character, creating a platform. On the higher floors above the platform, the area is open and allows the greenery to pervade from the opposite side to the courtyard. The opening of the area creates better conditions for housing and also a semi-private space at the level of common floors of community housing. This space is a continuation of a semi-public park, serving as a background for cohousing and kindergarten.

Riverside House
Kropšová, Zuzana ; Františák, Luboš (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
The location is situated in the area along the Svitava river, regulated for economic reasons at the turn of the 20th century. As the values are evolving, it is nowadays highly desirable to live by the river while having the view of the still flowing water. The aim of the thesis is to increase the attractiveness of today's inhospitable place and to offer the inhabitants a pleasant environment for living since no matter how superb the house is, the lack of a fine environment lowers its value. The proposal is based on the use of platforms as an ideal means of defining the hierarchy of spaces.

Hodúlová, Tereza ; Rynda, Ivan (advisor) ; Říha, Cyril (referee)
The master thesis deals with the study of the relation between man and his surroundings. The thesis solves the issue of the place identity and the process of identification with the example of the Prague housing estate Solidarita. It analyses the surroundings from the perspective of a concept of identity which has a multidimensional character. For this reason, the case study approach has been chosen to allow a comprehensive study of space from a variety of perspectives. It deals with the history of the housing estate, its residents, social connections and the perception of space. Because of the presence of green vegetation and public facilities, the Solidarita housing estate is presented as a place which provides a high-quality space and supports the production of social interactions. Surrounding of Solidarita housing estate respects human scale and provides stronger social interactions. The thesis also accents the importance of sociological and anthropological research of a space, that should be a part of urban processes. Key words Architecture, Identity, Housing Estate, Neighborhood, Place, Place Attachment, Place Identity, Solidarita Housing Estate, Space, Urbanism
