Until 1945 with the population of about 10.000 Rumburk was predominantly a German town. After the end of World War II. majority of German residents were expelled and the town was settled by Czechs from inland. Within few years the town reached the same population as before.

Umělecké tendence v krajině
Syrová, Hana
The thesis deals with artistic tendencies in the landscape from the sixties to the present. The main attention is focused on historical basics of land art, land art formation in Czech republic and the difference between the American and the European approach in creation. An important issue is finding connections between land art and landscape architecture. The paper describes selected foreign and domestic authors who deal with creation of new public spaces, lying on the border between land art, sculpture and landscape architecture. The literature review also raises the question of applied land art, which uses forms of land art (the same means of expressions and principles) to achieve another objective (eg. solving problems and needs). This direction drifts the form of land art into the interdisciplinary area where the land meets the sociology, landscape architecture, history and other fields that have an impact on shaping of the landscape. Hence projects are created allowing the strengthening of the historical, economic, social and landscape features. It thus creates an opportunity where people can experience the landscape and feel sense of belonging. The practical part outlines the problems of landscape in the project area - Anenská Studánka, arising from landscape analysis.Solution to cultural problems is suggested through applied land art that helps us to talk to people about the problems of the landscape. As a form of applied art land a public exhibition of art in the landscape was chosen, which enables us to attract people to the landscape, to identify problems and landscape values, raise awareness about the history of the site and allow a common experience in the landscape. Applied land art was tested in project Hřebečsko - a region that (DID NOT) disappear(ed), which aimed to raise awareness of local people about the history and identity of the place they live in, and gradually restore the lost relationship between people and the landscape. The aim was to address mainly local people and create a space for meeting, sharing and forming new relationships through the shared experience. The benefit of this thesis is the realization of the project as the main organizer. The thesis thus brings practical experience and knowledge of organizing events (own know - how). The work can serve as a guide for organizing similar projects, which are transferable to other locations.

ŠAFOV – URBAN RENEWAL OF A VILLAGE IN THE BORDER REGION
Ličmanová, Eva ; Adamková, Jana (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
Thesis deals with Šafov, small village located near Austrian border. History of the village is quite dramatic. Population is ten times smaller nowadays than during its greatest prosperity. At the village there was a jewish part destroyed during and after World War II. Nowadays there are only a few houses and jewish cemetary. Continuity was extremely aborted after World War II, when most residents had to leave their homes because of German nationality. New comming people early had to live very close to Iron Curtain. After many years Šafov can breathe freely but stigma of the past is still evident. I try to preserve dramatical history but also design new active plan. Thesis is divided to three parts: urban planning, architecture and landscape. There are some bigger interventions and also small and easily realizable ones.

The responses in domestic politics to Hodza Plan 1935-1936
Váňa, Daniel ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Dufek, Pavel (referee) ; Kovář, Martin (referee)
Abstract The thesis is about the reaction of Czechoslovak political scene to Milan Hodža's Danubian plan. Milan Hodža was Slovak Agrarian and economist who introduced his plan in the second half of 1935 at the time when he was Prime minister of Czechoslovakia. Author emerged from broader considerations of Czech and Czechoslovak ideas about economic and political developments in Central Europe, according to Palacký "space between Germany and Russia." In this context author accepts Palackys beliefs about the indispensability of the Danubian Hapsburg Empire as the counter imperialist expansion's bumper of both the continental powers and efforts of political parties Mladočeši and Staročeši who tried to reform and maintain the country. He also describes the interwar projects of Czechoslovak sovereign foreign policy, where Czechoslovaks tried to take on an inspirational leadership role of Central European economic and political cooperation which was based on Little Entente. Author of this thesis thinks that Hodža's Plan is just one of these projects. And as all the previous projects Hodža's plan had no opportunity to be implemented in the new internationally-political and internationally-economic context. Had Milan Hodža prepared his plan for economic and potentially political cooperation between Danube region countries from the national economy point of view? Did he start the wider discussion about the possibility of Danube region cooperation in Czechoslovakia? These are the basic questions that the author asks and he answers them in the last chapter of his work: Milan Hodža never made any concrete national economic statement for his plan. His attempt for the realization had never gone out of the diplomatic detection. Likewise he did not evoke any specific reaction of Czechoslovak political parties not even in party periodicals.
