Local geoheritage: its importance and potential for geotourist and recreational activities (a case study from Lomnicko area)
Kirchner, Karel ; Kubalíková, Lucie ; Bajer, A.
Geodiversity, respectively its valuable part – geoheritage is considered an important resource for the geotourism and recreation purposes. In the C.R., there are a lot of examples of such use of geoheritage: sandstone rock cities, karst areas or polygenetic relief at mountain areas and others. These geoheritage features are usually significant on the national level, their existence assure the attractiveness of the given area, enables the geotourist and recreational activities and support the local and regional development. However, in the local scale, the geodiversity (respectively geoheritage, represented by particular geosites and geomorphosites) can also serve the above mentioned purposes. The paper presents the example from Lomnicko area which can be seen as an “average” area from the geodiversity/geoheritage point of view on the national level, but on the local and regional level, there is a considerable number of geosites and geomorphosites with a potential for geotourism and recreation.

Specificity of interrogation of children
Kubalíková, Lenka ; Konrád, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Čírtková, Ludmila (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on the matters of children interrogation -specifically persons younger than 15 years being in position of victims or witnesses of crime. Even though I narrowed down the topic of the thesis, it is certainly very broad and complicated one which can be discussed more in depth. Children interrogation usually requires extensive efforts of the interrogating person - patience and empathy above all. Also, previous experience and the understanding that each case is individual and each child has to be apporached in a different way, are crucial. The interrogating's objective is to find out the relevant information and prevent secondary victimisation of the child at the same time. Diploma thesis contains two parts - theoretical and practical. Theoretical part is focused on Czech legal regulations related to these matters, specifics of child personality (ontogenesis, temperament and child character) and methods of interrogation (analyses single stages of the interrogation, deposition, documentation, persons taking part in the interrogation and possible mistakes which can be made). Special emphasis is put on suitable interrogating environment, approach to the children and prevention of secondary victimisation. The thesis also considers specific problems related to the interrogation, for...

Geodiversity values as a basis for geosite and geomorphosite assessment: a case study from Žďárské vrchy Highland
Bajer, A. ; Kirchner, Karel ; Kubalíková, L.
Paper presents geodiversity values, geodiversity is understood as a set of geological, geomorphological and pedological components, including systems consisting of this components and geological, geomorphological and pedological processes. Geodiversity values are analyzed in relation to ecosystem values (e.g. cultural, functional value). Geodiversity values were used as basis for a methodical approach to geosite and geomorphosite assessment. Methodological approach is presented at selected sites in the top part of the Žďárské vrchy Highland. The acquired results can serve as a basis for geoconservation of PLA Žďárské vrchy, development of geotourism as well as an offer for extension geoeducational activities.\n

Secondary geodiversity and its potential for geoeducation and geotourism: a case study from Brno city
Kubalíková, Lucie ; Bajer, A. ; Kirchner, Karel
Geodiversity is considered to be the most important resource for geoeducational and geotourist activities. Usually the geoeducation and geotourism are developed within natural areas and they are based on the primary geodiversity (natural landforms). Nevertheless, so called secondary geodiversity or man-made/anthropogenic geodiversity (represented by the anthropogenic geosites as old quarries, pits or underground landforms) can be also viewed as a remarkable resource for these activities. Brno city is rich in these landforms; some of them already serve as excursion localities for the university students or they are used for recreation and leisure, some of them are unique (from the geoscience point of view) and they have also certain added values (historical, archaeological or ecological), however, their potential is not fully developed. The article presents examples of these geosites and outlines possibilities of the rational use for the geoeducation and geotourism purposes.

Geomythology: a useful tool for geoconservation and geotourism purposes
Kirchner, Karel ; Kubalíková, L.
The relationship between the geosciences and myths is studied by geomythology which is understood as an explanation of the geological and geomorphological features using the supernatural forces and beings. The geomythological aspect can be regarded in relation to cultural, historical and spiritual meaning or value of geodiversity and it can be included into the holistic concept of geotourism. The article briefly discuss the reasons why geomythological aspect could be used for geoconservation and geotourism purposes and it presents several examples (especially geosites and geomorphosites) from the Czech Republic where the geomythological value is (or can be) used for these purposes.

Geosite and geomorphosite assessment for geotourism purposes: a case study from the Vizovická vrchovina Highland, Eastern Moravia
Kirchner, Karel ; Kubalíková, L.
Contribution deals with the problem of geodiversity, geoheritage and possibilities of their assessment for geotourism purposes. Geological, geomorphological and pedological sites are the most important resource for the geotourism activities. To find out which site can be used, it is necessary to identify, describe and assess various sites using a suitable assessment methodology. Based on the definition and concepts of geotourism and the assessment methods already used for geomorphosite assessment, authors propose five groups of assessment criteria. The method was used for assessing selected sites in the Vizovická vrchovina Highland.

Possibilities of evaluation of geomorphologic localities
Kubalíková, L. ; Kirchner, Karel
Evaluation of the geomorphologic localities represents a significant part of some research oriented on inventory of landforms (environmental geomorphology). The principal parameters to evaluate are scientific or ecologic characteristics, in a minor extent aesthetic features or economic potential of the localities. The contribution presents possibilities of evaluation of the geomorphologic localities and concentrates on concept of “geomorphosites” which is used in some countries of the west and south Europe.
