Kocmanová, Pavlína ; Skaloš, Jan (advisor) ; Bartoš, Michael (referee)
Diplomová práce Kolektivizace zemědělství a její promítnutí do krajiny ABSTRACT I searched changes in the cultural landscape structure in the relation with social processes in the time period 1937-2010 in my thesis. The research refers to the second half of 20th century, or more precisely, to the era of collectivization of Czechoslovak agriculture. In consequence of collectivization, the landscape was ecologically devastated and overall the nature of Czech countryside changed. Analysis of the landscape structure has form of case study of cadastral area of Široký Důl. I interpreted landscape changes from historical aerial photos and then analyzed the changes by geographical information systems. The results of those analyses are indicators (landscape metrics), by which I interpreted conditions of landscape in particular time. I confronted the changes in the landscape structure with social processes, which are described in theoretical part of thesis according to background research. Result of my thesis is general story of particular landscape, whose structure changed fundamentally in consequence of collectivization of agriculture. Key words: landscape structure, collectivization, landscape metrics, GIS, cultural landscape, aerial photos, Široký Důl

The Path Home
Hauser, Filip ; Lang, Dominik (referee) ; Ambrůz, Jan (advisor)
The central idea of this project named “My way home” (the project’s name was inspired by Karel Václav Rais’s poem of the same name) is the work with the memory of a landscape. The project concerns a 700-metre-long area which is part of what used to be a road near Stráž nad Nežárkou. First of all, I try to return the road its original purpose. Also, I try to find out its historic foundation. Finally, I try to return the road its integrity. The road used to go from the village of Dvorce to the now cancelled Gabler’s mill (house number 98) in Stráž nad Nežárkou. The Diploma also includes an observation of the changes of the landscape near the village. The Diploma itself consists of three phases: The road, apple trees, The object.

The Analysis of land-use changes in Šumava foothills
KOTEK, Jiří
The Svatý Tomáš Highlands and the Trojmezí Highlands in the Šumava foothills were constantly settled during 13th century. Although this area is a borderland with a less favourable climate, agriculture had a significant influence on the landscape changes. However political and economic changes during the 1950´s, especially the establishment of the Iron Curtain, had impacted previous trends. Displacement of inhabitans, destruction of villages and inaccessibility of the area have restored the natural processes. The aim of this work is to describe changes of land use in The Šumava foothills with regard to nature protection and results evaluated by geographic information system technologies. From stable cadastre maps it was detected, that land use in 1st half of 19th century in the Šumava foothills was very varied, it was there existed a lot of small fields of arable soil. However the surface of arable soil diminished gradually during the time and at the present time don´t exist any more in the study area. In monitored areas in the first place grew the share of forests. The changes of management also had an impact on the size of succession areas. It was found, that changes in land use are very similar in the all monitored regions.

Gajewská, Barbara ; Riedlbauch, Václav (advisor) ; Malcová, Zuzana (referee)
This Bachelor's Thesis focuses on cultural development and specifics of the Sudetenland. The first part of this work describes historical development of this region with a focus on the German population. The work also defines the term of Sudetenland itself and the main areas which the Sudetenland includes. There is a description of the landscape and cultural changes after the World War II and the evacuation of the German population from Bohemia. The second part of the Bachelor's Thesis focuses on the South Bohemian part of the Sudetenland, especially on the border regions Český Krumlov and Prachatice, and analyses the specifics and changes of the local culture and landscape after the World War II until now. At the end it defines the differences between the post-war development of the South Bohemian Sudetenland and other areas of the Sudetenland and it proposes recommendations for further development of this area.

The Historic Landscape Elements Analysis
KOTEK, Jiří
The two most important reasons of partial depopulation of the right shore of the Lipno dam were the transfer of Germans after the World War II and the Iron Curtain establishment in 1950s. Inhabitants were turn out from borderland, local villages were largely destroyed, meadows and pastures have been wasted for decades and they are under secondary succession. Although a lot of villages were destroyed, we can identify it by plants whose occurrence is closely associated with existence of resident enclaves (fruit tree species, nonforest green vegetation, woody ornamentals). The aim of this work is to describe these plants species, locate their position and judge changes in the time.

Function of scattered vegetation in the agricultural land fund
ZÍKOVÁ, Veronika
The theme of my work is a function of scattered vegetation in the agricultural land fund. The aim of my work is a literary review on the subject. Greenery understand linear stands along roads and streams, windbreaks, solitary, hedges, and other memorial trees located in open countryside. During the past 50 years occurred in our agriculture for major changes, which include the loss of their land for countless functions. Greenery is one of the basic features of the Czech landscape and gives it a unique character, and therefore we should strive for its return. Currently, the greenery is an important creative tool that can help to mitigate negative effects and devastation of the cultural landscape.

Environment and Genius Loci
Drozenová, Wendy
During the last decades the shift from the concept of standards of living to that of quality of life has been made. One of important aspects of it is is a cultural landscape. The effort to grasp the character of a place including the aesthetic value and its ”historical memory” has lead to the concept of Genius Loci, which has been worked out especially in the books of Norberg - Schulz.
