Minaříková, Adéla ; Ondřejová, Iva (advisor) ; Mergl, Jan (referee)
The technique of manufacturing of creamware and porcelain was discovered in Europe during the 18th century. The objects made from these materials document the social changes and the development of the dining culture, which both occured during the 18th century. At the end of that century classical culture became a fundamental inspirational source, which had been supported both by the discoveries of the ancient towns, Pompeii and Herculaneum, and by publishing books presenting ancient art. From the end of the 18th century the creamware and porcelain objects were started to be manufactured also in the Czech lands. In this master thesis I have studied, how the ancient influences were manifested in the products of the Czech and Moravian factories, from where they came and how they were transformed. The thesis does not cover all porcelain and creamware production, however it focuses on those factory where it was possible to detect ancient influences. The approach of the particular factories was strongly different. Czech porcelain factories took over ancient themes more likely from graphic patterns used in European workshops. The shapes derived from ancient pottery do not differ too much from the older and also contemporary European examples which were used as models. However, creamware objects tried, nesides the...

Quality of Urban Structure Based on Evaluation of their Inhabitants
Matyášová, Jana ; Vaishar, Antonín (referee) ; Wittmann, Maxmilian (referee) ; Kopáčik, Gabriel (advisor)
Residential satisfaction is a part of the social pillar sustainable development. An investigation of satisfaction can contribute to designing of such residential estates that will better satisfy their needs towards overall life satisfaction. Overall life satisfaction underpins the prosperous and generally satisfied society. This work deals with the relationship between the urban structure and the satisfaction of the residents living there. To describe this relationship, it is necessary to define the terms urban structure and residential satisfaction. The research block shall be based on theoretical grounds and overview of urban structures. The theoretical block deals with the historical overview and development of urban structures in the city of Brno and Vienna since the mid-19th century to the present. Based on this knowledge, locations for case studies of the residential estates have been selected subsequently to represent various urban structures. A local survey, questionnaire survey and interviews with residents took place in the residential estates selected in this way. The result of the research some of questions answers and asks some other ones, because the residential satisfaction is a relative consideration and not an exactly expressible value. It is also conditional on many factors that cannot be managed in this work. It is evident that the compact city may not be well-functioning if it is not in the central part of the city and the relative success of the of the open building line of the prefab estates compared to compact sets nearby city centers has been also a surprising result. However, some other assumptions have been confirmed.

University in the City Space: Charles University and University of Vienna
Kavan, Ondřej ; Kučera, Rudolf (advisor) ; Konrád, Ota (referee)
This thesis is a comparative case study that employs the disciplines and subjects of urban studies, history of universities and city planning. It presents and compares the history of the built environment of the Charles University Prague and the University of Vienna from their very beginning until present days. Main subject of the study therefore is the (spatial) city- university relationship and the position of the respective university in it. How many areas does the university use? What are these like? What are the distances between each of them and what is the distance to the attractive downtown? What are the respective historical contexts of all the development plans, which of them became reality and which not? These research questions are answered in the comparative analysis of the two universities. A second subject of the paper is the analysis of the agility of the universities who are facing some global development trends of the university strategic planning and have to deal with them both now and in the future. Do the development plans of the university support the interdisciplinary cooperation, globally competitive science or it's own position in the host city in order to support own attractiveness and efficiency? All these questions are discussed and answered.

Hitler's Viennese period (1908 - 1913): influences on his antisemitic attitudes
Martinovská, Karolína ; Arava-Novotná, Lena (advisor) ; Nosek, Bedřich (referee)
This master diploma thesis is concerned with Hitler's stay in Vienna during the period from 1908 to 1913 and the way in which his experiences from this period influenced the anti-Semitic views presented especially in his crucial work, Mein Kampf. The first, introductory chapter describes Vienna at the turn of the 20th century and also factors leading to the emergence of the specific atmosphere of this period, called fin de siècle. The focus of the second chapter is put on the issue of Jewish population in Vienna, i.e. a growing number of Jews in the city, the difference between the two basic groups of Jews (east and west), and especially the sorts of anti-Semitism which could be encountered in Vienna at that time. The third, last chapter is dedicated to Adolf Hitler, his life before his arrival to the capital, and his way of life and occupation in Vienna. The last part of the chapter is focused on the anti-Semitic quotations in Mein Kampf and their probable sources in Hitler's Viennese experiences. The aim of the thesis is to determine how Hitler's stay in Vienna influenced his later anti- Semitic attitude.
