Brousilová, Kateřina ; Hána, David (advisor) ; Pileček, Radek (referee)
The Bachelor's thesis focuses on the political literacy of students in Czechia and the contribution of political geography to political education of students. The aim of the thesis is to identify the level of political literacy of students in the selected secondary schools and influence on geographical education. In the first part, political literacy, political education and geographical education are theoretically framed and previous research on the topic is presented. Using a survey focused on political attitudes, voting preferences, and orientation on the political-geographical topics among students in selected secondary schools, the level of political literacy of students and the origin of their political attitudes and political- geographical knowledge are determined. The survey shows that the majority of students in selected secondary schools aquire political literacy in all its aspects. Geography education contributes mainly to orientation on political-geographical topics, which is essential for fulfiling the cognitive aspect of political literacy. The survey also indicates that media play a significant role in conveying political-geographical knowledge to students. Key words: political literacy, political education, teaching political geography

The Friends and Neighbours Effect and Its Relevance to Voting Behaviour in Czech Parliamentary Elections
Pileček, Radek
Voter decision-making about which political party to support in the elections is a very complex process. One of the key factors influencing our voting behaviour is the effect of particular candidates in terms of their local activities. Many Czech and also foreign studies show that candidates gain significantly higher preferences in the municipality of their residence and its surroundings. Within the analyzed parliamentary elections, this is reflected not only by the territorial concentration of preferential votes, but also by higher local electoral support of the political parties or movements represented by these candidates. This diploma thesis examines, among other things, differences in the strength of the described effect (technically called the friends and neighbours effect) between candidates from different political parties and in different regions of Czechia. Quantitative research has shown greater local strength and spatial extent of friends and neighbours effect for leading candidates from non-metropolitan areas who have experiences from local or regional politics, such as mayors or regional councilors. In the 2017 parliamentary elections, the friends and neighbours effect mostly influenced the spatial patterns of electoral support of the KDU-ČSL and the STAN movement and on the other...

Jáchimová, Anna ; Fialová, Dana (advisor) ; Pileček, Radek (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the issue of conflict situations between cyclists and residents in the Třeboň region. The aim of the thesis is to analyse what specific problems the area faces, describe where and why they occur and, based on the informationobtained, to propose possible solutions to the problems. For this purpose, the method of semi-structuredinterviews with the main actors of the tourism and a questionnaire survey with residents of Třeboň is used. The research found that the selected area faces an excessive number of cyclists in the summer season, for which there is a lack of cyclo-infrastructure in certain places. The cyclists, among other things, very often do not follow the traffic rules and are unruly, that causes an increasing level of resentment among residents. Key words bicycle touring - tourism -Třeboň - Czechia

New comparative method for assessing tourism potential: the case of Georgia, Israel and Cyprus
Pileček, Radek ; Nekolný, Lukáš (advisor) ; Vágner, Jiří (referee)
New comparative method for assessing tourism potential: the case of Georgia, Israel and Cyprus _______________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract This bachelor thesis presents a new comparative method by which it would be possible to evaluate the tourism potential of states or regions at the international level while comparing them in terms of eligibility for tourism development. The main goal of the thesis is to create the own new methodology. However, this is preceded by a relatively detailed theoretical and methodological literature review, in which mainly the current approaches to assessing the tourism potential are introduced. The use of the new method in practice is presented on the example of a comparison of three different destinations - Georgia, Israel and Cyprus. These countries have surprisingly many in common, including approximately the same number of international tourist arrivals. However, the tourism potential is very different, not only when comparing its final value, but even more when comparing all the values of individual factors from which the overall potential is compounded. At the end of this thesis, the significance of safety factor, which could cause the difference between the established tourism potential and the real level of inbound...
