The Developmental Typology of the Fastest Growing Portion of the Metropolitan USA in the Decade from 2000 to 2010
Kohl, Ondřej ; Jeleček, Leoš (advisor) ; Ouředníček, Martin (referee)
This text was written as a diploma thesis of master's degree study course "Regional and political geography." It focuses on the development between the last two censuses, of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the United States. The economic crisis of the late 2000s has been a major turning point of the decade. The goal of the research was to create a developmental typology of the fastest growing metros. The text analyzes "classifiers" data in order to decide what developmental types have been among the metros. A major factor contributing to high population gains in the fastest growing metros was the migration induced by the housing bubble.

Comparison of population and economic development in California and Illinois in 1980 - 2010
Kopáčová, Markéta ; Jeleček, Leoš (advisor) ; Svoboda, Peter (referee)
The thesis is focused on the comparison of the population and economic development in California and Illinois between 1980 and 2010. The main purpose is to discover the major trends, differences or agreements in the development of both of these states and State Economic Areas they belong to, i.e. Pacific and East North Central. The official statistics were used for the analysis. Population development is examined by the number of residents, race and ethnicity and migration. Economic development is studied by the gross domestic product and selected characteristics related to the population and its standard of living. Results demonstrate that the population of California is growing and its racial and ethnic composition is changing whereas the population of Illinois is stagnating or growing moderately. Both states undergo the economic growth, which was however interrupted by the financial and economic crisis in recent years. Results of the comparison of the development of Pacific and East North Central indicate that the differences between divisions correspond to the differences between states. Key words: comparison, population and economic development, major trends and differences, California, Illinois, Pacific, East North Central, 1980-2010

Changes of Regional Differentiation of Socioeconomic Development of the USA 1980 - 2007: Case Study Pacific and South-Atlantic Regions
Lukešová, Zuzana ; Jeleček, Leoš (advisor) ; Janáč, Jiří (referee)
Diploma thesis focuses on economic development trends of selected regions and states (California, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina) of the USA on various geographical levels in the time period from 1980 until present. The main object is to analyse the spatial distribution of economic production in the United States and its changes in time. Main presumption expects relative declining of dominance of California while the economic power of South-Atlantic region has been increasing. In order to examine changes, I analyse selected economic as well as social indicators and mesures - gross state product, per capita personal income, domestic migration, unemployment and others - on several geographical levels including the newly defined Californian Sunbelt and Eastern Sunbelt. The important section investigates the distribution of per capita personal income on county level in each state and examine the tendency of intrastate regional development. As the present economic development in the most developed countries has been highly influenced by current economic crisis, one chapter is dedicated to this topic. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Principles and problems of the geographic study of landscape
Kučera, Zdeněk ; Chromý, Pavel (advisor) ; Jeleček, Leoš (referee) ; Hynek, Alois (referee)
Z. Kučera: Principy a problémy geografického studia krajiny 6 Abstrakt Principy a problémy geografického studia krajiny Krajina je jedním z klíčových geografických konceptů. Nicméně její definici nelze považovat za zcela ujasněnou a stává se proto předmětem diskuze. Současný geografický výzkum krajiny je výrazněji rozdělený mezi humánní a fyzickou geografii, resp. přesněji kulturní geografii a krajinnou ekologii. Obě tyto disciplíny se dnes v geografii rozvíjejí, byť třeba v odlišných geografických a oborových kontextech. V otázce definice krajiny však spolu velmi málo komunikují. V posledních desetiletích se krajina navíc stala vedle geografie součástí výzkumného zaměření mnoha dalších vědeckých oborů. Což je vývoj, který k vyjasněnosti její definice příliš nepřispívá. V práci je diskutována role geografie ve výzkumu krajiny, jsou srovnávána různá pojetí krajiny v geografii a učiněn pokus o formulaci souhrnné definice krajiny. Nakolik se diskutované přístupy doplňují či rozcházejí? Jsou neslučitelné, nebo je možné vymezit jednu geografickou disciplínu zvanou "geografie krajiny"? Abstract Principles and problems of the geographic study of landscape Landscape is one of the core geographic concepts. However, its definition can not be regarded as absolutely clear. Thus it is the subject of discussions....
