The dissertation thesis covers the theme of the relationships between the changes of administrative borders and the peripheriality of space on the territory of Czechia since the mid-19th century. The author first defines the fundamental objectives and discusses the bases of the research of changes of administrative borders in Czechia in the process of polarization of space, as well as the general background and approaches to the issue of borders and regions, while emphasizing the concept of inner peripheries and internal borderland. The thesis attempts to contribute to the debate regarding: the importance of administrative borders of regions of different scales in the polarization of space; identification, analysis and evaluation of areas that changed their administrative affiliation at the level of mesoregions (regions) and microregions (districts) on the territory of Bohemia and the Vysočina Region in particular; evaluation of the degree of stability of administrative regions and stability of centers of these regions; and to assessment of the importance of the borders of regions in the context of problems associated with the development of peripheries. Discussion of changes in administrative borders and related development of territorial administration and local government places focuses on the...

Migration mobility of seniors
Dragounová, Kristina ; Čermák, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Špačková, Petra (referee)
This thesis is devoted to migration mobility of seniors in the Czech Republic in the years 2001 - 2003 and 2010 - 2012. The theoretical part is discussing general issues of demographic aging, the issue of seniors in the Czech Republic from the perspective of the pension system and pension reform. There is also characterized the care for the elderly and subsequently stated distribution of seniors by district and by size of groups of municipalities in the Czech Republic. The last part of the basic issues is dedicated to the migration, followed by the evaluation of the development of migration in the Czech Republic and partly international migration of seniors. The main part is focused on the issue of migration behavior. The analysis of a large set of data migration is performed at the regional, district level and also between size groups of municipalities. The aim was to evaluate regions, or municipalities size groups in terms of their attractiveness for seniors. For people over 60 years were most attractive small and middle cities. It was also shown that migrants migrate for shorter distances, since migration between municipalities within the county produces around 50% of all all moving. Subsequently reasons for moving are compared for the years 2001 - 2003, which was a task to figure out why...

Non-daily commuting with the capital city Prague as an example
Horáček, Jiří ; Čermák, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Nemeškal, Jiří (referee)
The Bachelor's thesis is focused on non-daily commuting, with Prague use as the example. Spatial mobility, its development and concepts associated with non-daily commuting are addressed in the introductory part. Followed by a section dealing with data and population census and housing. Thereafter, non-daily commuting data is analysed and compared with the absolute values of daily commuting. I also focused on the intensity of non-daily commuting and the relationship between non-daily commuting and long-term migration to Prague. The next section describes the survey, which confirms the results stemming from the analysis of data from the 2011Census. A review of the investigation and analysis has demonstrated a strong dependence between non-daily commuting and migration to Prague. Within Czechia, non-daily commuting reaches its highest intensity in the Southern Region. The only region that has an even higher level of commuting to Prague is the Central Bohemian Region, but this case is not involved in non-daily commuting lasting more than 24 hours. Keywords: non-daily commuting, migration, spatial mobility, the capital city of Prague, 2011 Census and Housing

Čermák, Zdeněk ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Francová, Veronika (referee)
This paper is concerned with the issue of men working as male nurses (common attendant) in relation to their working group. I'm introducing three different points of view in the theoretical part, how can this issue be seen. First of them, the nursing view (leagal definition of profession), second one is the psychological view (the field of professional identity and its involving factors) and the third view is a social-psychological view (gender and its meaning for nursing profession). In the empiric part I'm presenting two case studies of common attendants, which results mainly from semistructured interviews with common attendants, their subordinate, superiors and sociometric important persons. Data gained from the interviews were consequently completed with data from sociometrie and observation. Key words: nursing, identity, working group, nurse, gender

Counterurbanisation: rhytmus, identities, homes
Šimon, Martin ; Ouředníček, Martin (advisor) ; Čermák, Zdeněk (referee) ; Ptáček, Pavel (referee)
8 Abstract Counterurbanisation research, which is a central topic of this thesis, represents an appropriate field where transformations of contemporary societies and their socio- spatial organization can be examined. The dynamics of social and societal changes creates a demand for developing new methods and tools which helps us to understand contemporary change. Counterurbanisation is a multi-faceted concept which has been controversial since its initial use. An introduction of the concept of counterurbanisation in the field of population geography provoked a general debate on new and emerging trends in development of settlement system. Different logics of concentration and deconcentration of human activities has been challenged. Counterurbanisation operationalized as a migration poses a challenge for many standard conceptualizations of migration. The logic of non-economically motivated migration from the centre to the periphery requires a search for alternative explanatory mechanisms. Impact assessment and the impact of counterurbanisation in rural communities are analogous to the classical social science studies evaluating the integration of immigrants from rural areas in the cities. The thesis is composed of two basic sections. The first section presents a broader theoretical and methodological...

Netrdová, Pavlína ; Čermák, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Ježek, Josef (referee) ; Horák, Jiří (referee)
of the Ph.D. Thesis Netrdová, P.: Current trends in quantitative analysis of geographical data: potentialities and limitations of spatial analysis The thesis is a contribution to the discussion about the potentialities of the quantitative approach in geography. It follows the current trends in quantitative analysis of geographical data, specifically spatial analysis, particularly from the perspective of changes in the concept and character of applied methods and their possible contribution in geographical research. Due to the research focus of the author, the entire work is focused primarily on the issue of using quantitative methods in terms of social geography. Attention is focused particularly on statistically spatial analyses, which are the most widely used techniques in social geography, with a wide range of possible applications. One of the goals of this work is to bring the current development in quantitative geography closer to the Czech academic community, and thus contribute to the increased awareness of the potentialities of the application of quantitative methods and spatial analyses in geographical research. Methodological problems in the analysis of spatial data, theoretical changes in the concept of quantitative analysis and also newly emerging quantitative methods have not so far...
