Suchý, Jan ; Bednář, Pavel (referee) ; Spilková, Jana (advisor)
8 THE FOOD DESERTS ISSUE - THE CASE STUDY OF ZLÍN ABSTRACT This thesis attempts to provide an introduction to the 'food deserts' theme by outlining how the problem of access to food for households has become an increasingly important issue in the transforming Czech retail market. The first part reviews the development of new types of retail space in the Czech Republic in the past two decades. The emphasis is principally on the growth of new formats of food retailing - supermarkets, hypermarkets and discount stores - which to a greater or lesser extent have affected every local market and supported spatial restructuring of the Czech retailing. On the other hand, it has also changed the pattern of traditional shopping facilities, which in turn have often experienced decline. The second part of this work describes the retail change in Zlín and analyses the local distribution of food retail stores. It takes both quantitative and qualitative approach to define areas with relatively poor access to adequate food provision. There, it particularly focuses on consumers with lower mobility who are thus more restricted in their grocery choice. The last section includes conclusions, mainly the discussion of resulting policy responses, possibilities of prevention of this phenomenon, as well as implications for...

Růžička, Jakub ; Spilková, Jana (advisor) ; Vávra, Jaroslav (referee)
This thesis deals with crime in the urban environment, focusing on the city of Liberec. The basic approaches to urban studies and the basic theories of criminality are mentioned in the theoretical background. The results of various Czech and foreign studies dealing with the same topic are also mentioned. The methodological section contains the explanation of statistical analyses based on the data obtained from the Police and Czech statistical office and from guided interviews with members of the Police and the Municipality of Liberec. The main aim of the thesis is to define characteristics which influence crime and its location in the urban space, and to sketch out what the best crime prevention in the urban space could be. In the empirical part of the thesis firstly, the most frequent offenders and the most frequent types of crime are identified. Then, the influence of the residents' characteristics and the characteristics of urban environment on the crime rates are considered in the subsequent analyses. These analyses are grouped into three factors called the socioeconomic conditions of residents, the living conditions and the quality of flats. The results of the analyses are combined with the outcomes of guided interviews to form the final conclusions. The first one is that crime in Liberec is mainly...

New residential areas in Prague and their public spaces
Vyhnánková, Markéta ; Ouředníček, Martin (advisor) ; Spilková, Jana (referee)
In the first part of my thesis I evaluate emplacement of new residential areas within Prague. I focus on residential areas constructed after 1996 and I try to find what types of buildings these new areas consist of. In the second part of this thesis I investigate presence of sojourn public spaces in the selected residential areas and I concentrate on their equipment. I am interested in visitor's opinion on appearance of public spaces in four different areas in Prague. I conclude that the count of new residential areas in outer city is very similar to the count in the peripheral parts of Prague. Sojourn public spaces are present mostly in the areas, which are created by blocks of flats. The presence of sojourn public spaces is an important factor for the inhabitants of Prague. But when it comes to choosing a new housing, they prefer other criteria such as the price of the realty or the quality of its surrounding. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
