Daily mobility and socio-economic aspects of regions and their impact on the functional spatial organization of society
Nemeškal, Jiří ; Ouředníček, Martin (advisor) ; Šveda, Martin (referee) ; Mulíček, Ondřej (referee)
Population mobility is a key urban shaping element that shows the functional relationships of the urban environment through the generalization of individual movement. The mutual process whereby the structure of the city determines mobility and is subsequently modelled by it is also important for understanding processes in the suburban or metropolitan zone. The dynamics of this process not only in the Czech environment is mainly due to the developing suburbanization, which in recent decades has been attributed a leading role in the visual and functional transformation of the landscape. In addition to suburbanization, which can be perceived as a process within the urban space, today's society and economy are also influenced by two significant external forces - globalization and technological progress. Technological progress is both materialised in a wide range of physical devices and innovations and manifested in the development of a parallel digital world. Its by-product over the last two decades is the digital footprint. In its broadest sense, it can be defined as a record of activity and interactions in time, space and context. One example of a society's digital footprint is the information extracted about the geographical movement of the population from mobile phone data. The potential of this...

Delimitation and transformations of metropolitan areas in transformation period in the Czechia
Karásek, Michal ; Novák, Jakub (advisor) ; Mulíček, Ondřej (referee)
The diploma thesis is focused on two main aims. The first aim of the thesis is to define proper metodology for delimitation of the metropolitan areas. On the basis of this metodology the metropolitan area of Prague, Plzeň, Brno and Ostrava are defined. The second main aim of this thesis is answer the question, whether transformation period influences development of process of metropolization or not. With this purpose concrete development tendencies in the delimitation metropolitan areas are analyzed. At first the development of concentration of population and jobs is concerned, after follows the analysis dealing with spatial mobility of the population within areas. In this context is covered development of intensity of commute and migration flows among different units of metropolitan area. The growing in mutual intensity of mobility among units of metropolitan areas indicates the development of cooperative ties in territory and also development of process of metropolization.

The position of the town Říčany in Prague hinterland: a case study of families with children
Chrpa, Jiří ; Špačková, Petra (advisor) ; Mulíček, Ondřej (referee)
This master thesis deals with the question, whether the town Říčany performs functions of the local centre for its residents. Part of the text is devoted to the transformation taking place around the Czech capital. The paper uses the theoretical framework of Time geography. Using a qualitative questionnaire survey targeted at families with children, the work is trying to identify, where the residents localize their activities. The thesis also attempts to recognize the activity localisation mechanisms. Another goal was to find differences between various categories of the respondents. Children and adults working in Říčany usually localize their activities close to their home. Adults working in Prague have an elliptic activity space, in which home is however main station. One of the contributions of this work is the typology of four groups of households. In addition to long-term residents and two types of suburbanites, the group of "grounded residents" was defined. Although they have moved to the town rather recently, they usually live in the older parts of the town and localize there most of their life.

Time-space structuration of the Prague Metropolitan Area
Zevl, Jiří-Jakub ; Ouředníček, Martin (advisor) ; Mulíček, Ondřej (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses upon mobility which structures time and space of Prague's hinterland. The time-space regions are conceptualised and serve to explore the structure of suburban space. The positioning data from mobile phones are used to investigate tangential mobility throughout suburban municipalities. It happened in two time-sections which distinguish the working and the service commute. The method of the time-space regionalisation was introduced for this purpose. In total, 45 local centres were found. Moreover, their regions were delimited and two regions without cores were delimited as well. The resulting time-space regions are distinguished into three types: small inner regions, large outer regions and river regions. The case study in Dolní Břežany municipality seeks causes and consequences of centrality in local scale. The significance of the thesis lies in partial, but highly interconnected contributions in all three dimensions: theory, methodology and empirics. Key words: mobility, suburbanisation, structuration, regionalisation, mobile data, Prague, Dolní Břežany

Daily rhythms of municipatilies in Central Bohemian region
Frydrych, Pavel ; Pospíšilová, Lucie (advisor) ; Mulíček, Ondřej (referee)
An object of this diploma thesis is a study of daily rhythms of municipalities in the Central Bohemian Region. The aim is to bring new insights into the daily rhythms of the suburban zone of the Prague Metropolitan Area and the Central Bohemian Region. The work has three main objectives. The first objective is to create a typology of the Central Bohemian municipalities according to their daily rhythms. Mobile phone location data is used to create the typology. There was used a method called cluster analysis. The second objective is to evaluate the daily rhythms in selected municipalities (Kněževes, Ořech, Tochovice) in detail with other data (mobile phone location data from Prague Institute of Planning and Development and commuting data from the Census 2011). Using these sources, I want to highlight the obstacles, but also the benefits of using mobile phone location data in studying of daily rhythms. The last objective is to describe in these three municipalities the pacemakers which influent their timing. The results show that in the Central Bohemian region dominate municipalities with a residential type of daily rhythm. Most of these municipalities are located in the suburban zone of Prague, while in other municipalities of the Central Bohemian region is the rhythm often almost balanced. Large...

Residential change and gentrification process: the case of Holešovice in Prague
Sýkora, Jan ; Špačková, Petra (advisor) ; Mulíček, Ondřej (referee)
Holešovice, Prague inner city district, currently undergoes a transformation which resembles the gentrification process. However, gentrification has not yet been empirically proven. Gentrification is characterised by the renovation of existing housing stock, increasing social status related to immigration of new residents, and displacement of original inhabitants. This thesis focuses on the residential change of Holešovice neighbourhood from 2001 till present. It aims to identify areas undergoing gentrification and to detect other processes of residential change. The analysis uses housing stock, population and migration quantitative data together with interviews with local actors. Firstly, the changes of physical and socio-spatial structure are observed on the neighbourhood level. Secondly, various trajectories of residential change are identified on the level of statistical units. Concurrent effect of gentrification and other processes on the transformation of Holešovice was identified. Keywords: gentrification, post-socialist city, inner city, residential change

Migration, foreigners and the city: socio-spatial differentiation and local social environment
Přidalová, Ivana ; Ouředníček, Martin (advisor) ; Drbohlav, Dušan (referee) ; Mulíček, Ondřej (referee)
1 Abstract Migration has been an inherent part of population development, and due to its role in shaping settlement system and societal changes also one of the key research interests of social geography. Due to the political regime and the limited movement across state borders, attention was predominantly given to internal migration in Czechia in the second half of the 20th century. Conversely, international migration has only been coming to the fore of academic debate since the 1990s. Despite the broad diversity of aspects of international migration in Czechia and the fact that the city has traditionally been the environment associated with the majority of immigrant population, little consideration has been given to the deeper understanding of the relationship between international migration, the presence of foreign citizens and the urban environment, especially foreigners' influence on socio-spatial differentiation and on social environment of particular urban locales. Czechia is a specific case: a country which was isolated from international migration for four decades became one of the main immigration countries in the post-socialist Central Europe after 1989. It represents a unique occasion to investigate the connection between international migration and the city in a previously unexplored environment...
