Jelen, Jakub
Title: Mapping modifications of riverbed Bílina with concentrate on flood risk Abstract Recently, the flood events and related conditions of riverbeds have been a very current topic. The following text deals with the evaluation of different types of anthropogenic interference into natural riverbeds and their surroundings and also anthropogenic landscape changes and their impacts on the hydrological situation of a particular catchment area and potential impacts on the formation and process of the floods. The work presents authors own field mapping methodology. This methodology is compared to the others designed to measure rivers in constant conditions and highlights the potential flood risks. It helps to identify potential risk parts of the river where any flood event could lead to a greater damage. The proposed methodology was tested on a sub-section of the river Bílina, which is further processed by the history of flood events. Later on, the field mapping and photographic documentation of the current situation of the riverbed has been done. Key words floods, risk, methodology, river Bílina, anthropogenic modifications

Jakouběová, Ivana ; Matějček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Jelen, Jakub (referee)
Fieldwork is a specific component of education, which has the potential in a more complex demonstration of curriculum especially in the field of geography. We can only assume whether the classical form of fieldwork education is currently in decline, but new opportunities are emerging in the changing educational environment in which fieldwork could be used. This bachelor thesis was written with the aim of finding current potentials, but also the limits of fieldwork education. Based on qualitative research in the form of interviews, we want to answer questions about the ways how is fieldwork education used on different schools and how the main benefits and constraints are perceived directly by the actors of the education system on different levels. The conclusions are compared and discussed with the knowledge from theoretical part of the thesis. Keywords geography, fieldwork education, qualitative research, perception, interview
