Participativní mapování hodnot a problémů v krajině
Perůtková, Tereza
The bachelor thesis on "Participatory mapping of values and problems in the landscape" deals with the identification of values and problems in the landscape in the Hranice Karst research site. The subject of the analysis is interviews with respondents who visited the site and helped to determine these values and problems, based on which development trends and a proposed management plan for the site were outlined. A great deal of attention is also paid in particular to the municipality of Teplice nad Bečvou with its adjacent spa. Another important factor is the cooperation between the various actors in the area, which will lead to the development and long-term sustainability of this unique site, whose dominant features can be seen in particular in the Zbrašovské aragonite caves or the NPR Hůrka u Hranice, where the deepest flooded abyss in the world is located. Based on the identified problems, specific solutions were proposed in the draft management plan, which was also appreciated by the representatives of local authorities.

The gift of faith and the Abrahamic story (Gn 22:1-19)
Knirsch, Vojtěch ; Baštecká, Bohumila (advisor) ; Jandejsek, Petr (referee)
The work The Gift of Faith and the Abrahamic Story (Gn 22:1-19) uses autoethnographic qualitative methodology to fulfill several goals: to understand the gift in the context of faith, to understand the concept of "gift of faith", to connect different concepts of the gift in the Abrahamic story of the sacrifice/binding of Isaac, to be able to explain to an unbeliever that faith is a gift. Practical examples of giving from the contexts of charity, humanitarian and development aid were linked with theological inspirations from the Abrahamic story. The work brings inspiring findings for the theory and practice of diaconics: People are completely embedded in chains and networks of mutual (mutual) giving, donor and recipient are only situationally changing roles, the primary donor is God. A gift is associated with a sacrifice, it binds, it creates a debt. A gift must be responded to, for example, with gratitude, reciprocity or, in the context of participation, with participation, mutuality. The recipient receives the gift as ownership, which in the case of the gifts of the Spirit is more like stewardship. A gift is problematic when it is expressed in circulation (money). Sometimes it is necessary to give a gift "despite!", that the recipient will not accept the gift, for example. And sometimes the giver...

The nature and identity of apologetics in light of the calls of scripture and the Second Vatican Council
NICOLSON, Stuart
Apologetics in recent times has had for many a negative value, and the term 'apologetics' did not appear in the Second Vatican Council documents. However, by returning to the sources in Scripture and the Early Church, especially Peter's call (1Peter 3:15-16) for all faithful to be ready to respond when questioned or challenged about their faith, and to do so in a Christian manner, apologetics can be understood as far more original, ordinary, and organic than how it is often defined. It was originally an integral part of Christians speaking out about their faith, participating with the Logos. Through a Petrine lens, apologetical calls and content can be identified in 10 of the 16 Vatican II documents, including two clear paraphrases of Peter's call. This indicates a problem in how apologetics is identified and understood. Part 1 provides a working definition for Petrine apologetics in order to identify its development through Christian history. Part 2 present a brief and selective history of apologetics. Petrine apologetics is observed and explored in Scripture in Part 2a, including in Jesus' ministry and the first Church generations. In Part 2b it is shown how a second century apologetical turn, particularly through Justin Martyr, reinforced by Eusebius, and concretised by several later Early Church Fathers, narrowed apologetics into becoming elite, intellectual, and clerical - not for all the faithful but the few. The Mediaeval period (Part 2c) could have seen a return to more universal Petrine apologetics, especially through the Fourth Lateran Council, but weak dissemination of its teachings meant the opportunity was lost. After the Reformation, in Part 2d, Charles Borromeo's pastoral apologetics stands out, as well as a growing movement based upon credibility in the English-speaking sphere where apologetics was becoming part of organic engagement of Catholics in Protestant societies. Part 3 focuses on Vatican II. The entrenched Justinian approach in Catholic Europe eschewed engagement with others, leaving apologetics as overly catechetical. Balthasar identified and rejected the old paradigm and the main reform ideas, calling for a new approach: Love Alone Is Credible. Many conciliar apologetics themes are congruent with his reform call, and with Petrine apologetics. In addition to apologetical calls, Vatican II shows that apologetical preparation should be embedded in Christian education (Gravissimum Educationis 2) and how apologetically prepared faithful should engage with society (Apostolicam Actuositatem 1, 2, 11, 29, 31, etc.). But the Council's apologetics calls were not developed and apologetics was mostly replaced by fundamental theology, which has problematic features from Justinian apologetics and the reform ideas Balthasar rejected, and is not related to the apologetical calls of Peter or Vatican II. However, there has been an organic development of apologetics since the 1980s. In Part 4, the problematic current state of Catholic understanding in the ordinary faithful is evident in two recent surveys. It is necessary to respond to this. By reframing apologetics according to the original Petrine call and its Vatican II confirmation, a New Apologetics (NA) can be developed that emphasises Peter's elements of preparation, response, in a Christian manner, for all the faithful. The Petrine elements are unpacked in today's context and several distinctions are explored, including objective and subjective approaches, and the spectrum of evangelisation-apologetics-catechetics. Three 'voices' are shown to have particularly contributed so far to NA: William Levada, Robert Barron, and Peter Kreeft. All intellectual and two being clerics, they have the insight and ability to guide developments. Looking forwards, the two named conciliar texts are explored in how they can be unpacked for developing an embedded apologetics of preparation, response, in a Christian manner: original, organic, ordinary apologetics.

Interpretation of temporary structures in the context of activation of abandoned sites
Joja, Marie ; Bartošová, Nina (referee) ; Gregorová,, Jana (referee) ; Beneš,, Ondřej (referee) ; Petříčková, Monika (advisor)
Temporary use serves as a useful tool in a process of activation of unused buildings. The final thesis puts the phenomenon of short–term function in a centre of attention and it examines successful application of transient use in a strategy of restoration of abandoned buildings. Principles of temporary use define an opportunity to test new ideas in the process of designing long–term use. A newly established database on www.archipop.cz is based on an analysis of case studies of temporary use. The publicly accessible database provides a list of selected projects that successfully activated neglected spaces via temporary use. Many of these projects are managed by a temporary planning institute. General goals of an institute, which sets up principles of temporary use in close cooperation with municipalities, are summarized in an individual chapter. The acquired knowledge of the process of analysis of principles of temporary use was verified in a practical task. The assignment was to create a strategy for an activation of an unused complex, specifically a site of a former paper factory in the Spanish province of Pontevedra.

Communication methods of teachers at lower secondary school in relation to dialogic teaching
Votický, Petr ; Duschinská, Karolina (advisor) ; High, Radka (referee)
The diploma thesis analyzes the level of some communication methods of teachers at the second level of elementary school, which should lead to improved and more balanced mutual communication. The essence and goal of the work is to examine the presence of dialogic teaching of selected teachers. The work will offer an interesting comparison of theories with real findings. In the theoretical part, I describe and reflect on the use of communication forms using elements of dialogic teaching. I introduce and explain the elements that, according to the expert, lead to stimulation, engagement of students' thinking, which influence their learning and understanding. Dialogic teaching differs from the classic IRF structure in the teacher-student approach using question work and feedback in the learning process. I am looking for some answers to the questions of what communication factors influence student learning through teacher communication. I describe theoretical principles, selected examples, methods and their subsequent results when used in practice or research. At the same time, I present the advantages and reasons for use. In the practical part, through qualitative research, I analyze audio recordings from classes and interviews with teachers and students. I distinguished between open and closed...

Architecture in the era of housing crisis
Richnavská, Dominika ; Eichlerová, Eva (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to design a residential complex on the territory of the city of Brno, ideally on the site of a brownfield or on an inappropriately used land such as a horticultural land. The design should take into account trends in housing and construction and also offer solutions to current social problems. As the selected area for the thesis I have chosen the gardening complex on Žlutý Kopec, which is located at a relatively short distance from the city centre. New studies and projects are already being developed in the area to better use its potential and to make it more accessible. In the project, I am focusing on an alternative way of building - baugruppe, which is better known in neighboring countries but offers us a chance to find interesting housing solutions in contrast to development projects. That gives residents the opportunity to create individual solutions that suit each of them while finding a compromise for living together in peace and contentment. The area mostly consists of flats, but we can find there also smaller premises such as gym, coworking, etc. The addition of outdoor activities, playgrounds and sitting areas completes the whole of participatory living with strong social ties.

Aktivity a participace spolků na rozvoji území Znojemska
Spoustová, Natalie
Spoustová, N. Activities and participation of associations in the development of the territory of Znojmo region. Bachelor thesis. Brno: Mendel University, 2022. The thesis deals with the role of selected associations in the development of the Znojmo region. The theoretical part of the thesis defines the basic terms and theoretical anchoring dealing with participation in the development of the territory, which are specifically focused on endogenous development of the territory. These include regional development issues, regional policy, a description of development strategies and programmes, and the tools used to develop the territory. Furthermore, this part contains the possibilities of participation of the residents in the development of the territory, the most important of which is the participation of the residents in the form of the formation of associations. The practical part consists of an introduction of the area of interest of the Znojmo region and a literature review capturing the activities of associations in the development of the area. Based on the conducted interviews, cooperation with the center of the region (the city of Znojmo) and the role of selected associations in the development of the Znojmo region were subsequently evaluated.
