Tato bakalářská práce se věnuje strategii prevence kriminality prostřednictvím designu prostředí mezi její aplikací v konkrétním prostředí a vnímanými obavami ze zločinu. CPTED se pokouší ní spojené obavy ze zločinu pomocí odifikací vystavěného prostředí, kterými snižuje v dané lokalitě příležitosti pro spáchání zločinu. Cílem výzkumu je posoudit míru aplikace zásad CPTED ve čtyřech vybraných žižkovských lokalitách a zjistit, zda souvisí úrovní obav ze zločinu návštěvníků těchto míst. Obavy ze zločinu byly zjišťovány na základě dotazníkového šetření prováděného ve zkoumaných lokalitách Hodnocení, do jaké míry jsou lokalitách využívány zásady CPTED, proběhlo pomocí terénního výzkumu. Výsledky potvrdily, že lokality s aplikovanými zásadami strategie CPTED jsou návštěvníky hodnoceny jako bezpečnější.

Perception of danger/safety in Brandýs nad Labem - Stará Boleslav from the perspective of students and seniors Abstract The aim of the bachelor thesis is to find out what are the differences in the perception of fear among seniors and students living in the Brandys nad Labem - Stara Boleslav. Emphasis is also on identifying the places that these groups regard as safe and dangerous, and the reasons that led to this perception. For achieving the objectives was carried out a survey among seniors and students in Brandys nad Labem - Stara Boleslav. The results showed that some places are considered by respondents as more risky, or conversely safer, and that there is a difference between the selected groups. The next reasons were identified, which led to this perception (physical and social aspects, etc.). Keywords: safety, danger, senior, student, Brandýs nad Labem - Stará Boleslav

Feeling of Safety and Fear of Crime in the Czech Republic
Krulichová, Eva ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Havlík, Radomír (referee) ; Jíchová, Jana (referee)
The research on feeling of safety and fear of crime abroad has been developed since 70s of the 20th century. In the Czech Republic it became of interest at the beginning of 90s after the fall of the communist regime, while the discrepancy between actually committed and formally registered offences resulting in the sharp increase of officially recorded crime manifested itself. In response to this increase there were written first scientific studies, which mainly dealt with the development of feeling of safety and models explaining such feeling in the context of former social problems (economic stress, trust in the government). In our opinion, however, we lack a comprehensive study that discusses the feeling of safety and fear of crime phenomenon from different aspects and intend to verify the validity of the results of international studies in our milieu. Based on the existing theoretical approaches and selected data sources, the study therefore aims to illuminate the structure of the relationship between fear of crime and individual or social factors that correlate with it. The study particularly deals with the relationship between perceived risk of victimization and fear of crime, i.e. concepts that were often used interchangeably at the beginning of research in this area. The analysis has showed...

Hot spot analysis of car thefts in Liberec
Kostka, Jiří ; Jíchová, Jana (advisor) ; Netrdová, Pavlína (referee)
My diploma thesis deals with distribution analysis of car thefts in the town of Liberec and will look at the options of situational crime prevention techniques. In my diploma thesis I have used the concept of hot spots which is able to show higher than average concentrations of car thefts in the study area. The database is relatively unique, provided by the regional police department in Liberec and contains the records of more than a thousand reported car thefts in Liberec between the years 2011-2014. The provided data contains GPS coordinates and thanks to them, it was possible, with relatively high accuracy, to identify hot spots of car thefts in Liberec. The identification of hot spots was possible as spatial statistics were used that enabled concrete calculations of kernel density, which made it possible to identify problem locations. In our chosen hot spots we then undertook our fieldwork, whose main goal was to evaluate the options of utilization strategy CPTED, so as to obtain preventive measures in problem locations. The output of this thesis include hot spot maps of car thefts 2011-2014 and also recommendations for preventive measures, which would be advisable to implement in chosen hot spots. Key words: car thefts, crime mapping, CPTED, hot spot, crime prevention, GIS

Territoral differentation of housing prices and housing affordability in the Czech republic
Kremlová, Štěpánka ; Baxa, Jan (advisor) ; Jíchová, Jana (referee)
This Bachelor thesis focuses on the housing market and regional differentiation of prices of flats and houses at the level of districts of the Czech Republic. Since the nineties we can observe the growth of regional disparities of housing prices. It has a direct influence on the creation and increase of regional disparities in housing affordability. The Bachelor thesis describes some of the methods of measuring the affordability of housing in the Czech Republic. The main objective is to determine whether housing prices reflect the labor market. By using correlation analysis we are able to demonstrate a statistically significant effect of selected labor market indicators (level of monthly gross wages and the share of unemployed persons) on purchase housing prices. Keywords: housing prices, housing market, housing affordability, labor market, correlation analysis, regression analysis

Bittnerová, Kateřina ; Jíchová, Jana (advisor) ; Klingorová, Kamila (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with research of perception of safety and crime from the perspective of young women in the Pragues district Záběhlice. The main objectives of the thesis are to evaluate the extent of a fear of particular violent crimes perceived by young woman, the identification of places considered to be the most dangerous and to find out what are the factors shaping the perception. In order to answer research question, two types of methods were employed; a questionnaire survey among young women and semi-structured interviews with members of the Municipal Police. The results showed that most respondents considered Záběhlice as safe district. From the selected violent crimes, respondents felt the greatest fear of rape. In Záběhlice were identified as dangerous places for example subways, parks or the neighbourhood of the various buildings. The main reasons for the negative perception of these places were the presence of groups of people perceived as possibly dangerous, poor physical environment or previous bad experience with these places. Key words: perception of danger, fear of crime, violent crimes, young women, Prague, Záběhlice

Crime and its perception in urban environment
Jíchová, Jana ; Temelová, Jana (advisor) ; Šiftová, Jana (referee) ; Michálek, Anton (referee)
Jana Jíchová: Crime and its Perception in Urban Environment ABSTRACT Crime is an important social phenomenon that affects many aspects of the functioning of society and the life of every person. It also represents an important interdisciplinary topic that deals with a number of disciplines, including geography. Logically, there is a thematic and methodological overlap; each of the sciences emphasize on different aspects of crime, using various methods and research approaches, interpretations, and therefore contributes to the knowledge of crime differently. The importance of geography is particularly in the enrichment of the crime research on spatial dimension and contributes to its cognition through analysis of the distribution of crime and studies of perception of crime. Although this type of studies is well established in Western crime research, in the Czech geography is paid to them only little attention. This doctoral thesis introduces geography of crime in the Czech context, discusses its theoretical and methodological developments and its applicability and application in our cities.. More emphasis is put on the concept of fear of crime, which constitutes an essential component of feeling of safety affecting daily life, the use of urban space and spatial mobility of individuals. Better understanding of...
