The changes of transport flows and accesibility in Pilsen region in relation to the settlement system
Brož, Petr ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Květoň, Viktor (referee)
The issue of transport is currently one of the most discussed topics, thanks to deepening regional differentiation causing increased demands on the quality of existing transport links. Especially the attractiveness of centers and the existence of good transport infrastructure, stimulating the development of the region (his success), is becoming one of the most debated issues of our times. This diploma thesis deals with the comparison and evaluation of changes in spatial interaction in the settlement of the Plzeň/ Pilsen region in two time slices (1991 and 2001). Analysis of the interactions of traffic will be done by using statistical methods and using GIS technology. Main attention will be paid to the spatial differentiation of the frequency of traffic flows and transport accessibility. Subsequently, the transport characteristics will be compared with the characteristics of the complex importance of settlement, so the basic relationships between these indicators can be found. Keywords: spatial interaction, accessibility, frequency of public transport, traffic flows, transport regionalization, Plzeň/ Pilsen region.

Political Situation in the World - Its Impact on Air Traffic
Šlehofer, Miroslav ; Hudeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Marada, Miroslav (referee)
10 ABSTRACT Political situation and its impact on air traffic is the aim of this study. Events (September 11, 2001 and Iraq war in 2003) were monitored on two different levels of the United States - regional (national) and global (international). For reaching the target there were established hypotheses concerning about character of decline of air traffic demand, different impacts, connection between distance and decline, and airport size categories. The data base is represented by statistics of BTS (number of check-in passengers). In the study is applied slightly modified methodical procedure of Hatty and Hollmeier (2003) which enables comparison of real and supposed development. From this comparison is calculated deviation of air traffic demand and is analyzed qualitatively (mainly) and quantitatively. The evaluation of chosen US and world states is accompanied by graphs. Gained results and findings are summed up and there are commented impacts of September 11 (2001) and Iraq war in 2003 on air traffic demand. key words: air traffic in the United States, air traffic demand, September 11 (2001), Iraq war in 2003

Mathematical Skills Applied to Teaching of Geography at High School In the Topic The Earth as a Cosmic Orb
Matýsková, Pavla ; Netrdová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Marada, Miroslav (referee)
Matýsková, P. (2010): Mathematical skills applied to the teaching of geography at secondary schools in the topic the Earth as a cosmic orb. Department of Social Geography and Regional Development, Charles University in Prague. Submitted diploma thesis deals with interdisciplinary relationships between mathematics and geography at grammar schools in the topic the Earth as a cosmic orb. The relationships are generally described from the point of view of three curriculum forms (intended, implemented and achieved). In the area of the intended curriculum there is an analysis of curriculum documents carried out, especially of the Framework educational programme and of selected school educational programmes. Subsequently, the links between selected secondary school textbooks of geography and mathematics are evaluated on the basis of required curriculum, its quality, intelligibility and occurrence of examples from the practice. The subchapters of the selected unit, in which an application of mathematical skills can be found, are defined in detail and specified on the basis of the carried analysis. Deep, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the teachers at selected grammar schools for the purpose of the study of the implemented curriculum. The achieved curriculum was found out on the basis of the...

Impact of railway on regional development of Lower Sázava region (with emphasis on commuting to work)
Jansová, Eva ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Burda, Tomáš (referee)
Vliv železnice na rozvoj Posázaví s důrazem na změny vyjížďky do zaměstnání Abstact These theses are written about public transport and regional development, about influences of transport infrastructure on regional and local developments, to be specific about influence of local railway. Main aim of this work is to evaluate changes in commuting to work between the years 1991 and 2001 in area of Posázaví. This area has a local railway route between Vrané nad Vltavou - Světlá nad Sázavou. First part of my work is dedicated to few chosen examples; how railway influenced and is still influencing development of regions. Influence of railway on the size of villages, localization and development of industries, changes in exploitation of terrain and also in what extend is railway used in present time. Second part is dedicated to more detailed analysis of changes in travelling into employment between the years 1991 and 2001, which means: amounts of commuters, changes in direction of travel, intensity of travel and usage of public transport into employment. Last chapter is a final summary and final conclusion of this work; including opportunities for mentioned local railway. 9

The conception of geography fieldwork on example of České Budějovice and its surroundings
Záleský, Jiří ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Řezníčková, Dana (referee)
This thesis deals with the problem of geography fieldwork at Czech schools. Its main aim is to suggest a concept of fieldwork for secondary schools in České Budějovice, which could also be used for other schools. The thesis consists of three parts. In the first one, which is focused on theory, basic terms are defined according to the analysis of literature. Aims of education as well as benefits, problems and aims related to geography fieldwork and its concept in current education documents are also discussed there. In the second part, principles of the creation of tasks for fieldwork in České Budějovice with its surroundings and appropriate methods of their evaluation are specified. On the basis of geographical characteristics of the region, appropriate aims of education and localities are chosen for the geographical topics taught at schools. The third part contains six work sheets and information materials for teachers, which elaborate different topics and may be used for education. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Modeling spatial interactions on the example of the regional cities
Zelenka, Jaroslav ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Chmelík, Jakub (referee)
Management and planning of transportation is becoming more important in terms of continuously growing intensity of spatial interactions, which are still mostly realized through transport networks. That's why we can deal with this specific problem of transportation geography using for example spatial interactions modeling. The general aim of the thesis is modeling of spatial interactions and their subsequent comparison with real flows by using calibration in order to predicate the future value of flows taking the planned changes in the transport network in consideration. The main tool used to achieve the goal of the thesis is the gravity model which was applied on the example of regional capitals in the Czech Republic. Based on accomplishments we may say, that centers with lower significance of monitored relations are characterized by further location towards most centers, small number of inhabitants, low intensity of model interactions and lower values of transport intensities with neighboring centers. With the center growth itself, its range of interactions with other centers grows as well. Key Words: spatial interactions modeling, gravity model, model interaction, transport intensity, regional capitals
