Žežulka, Martin ; Sýkora, Luděk (advisor) ; Nemeškal, Jiří (referee)
Suburban development of Prague metropolitan area was during last two decades strongly affected by zonal development of large scale warehousing facilities. There are concetrated prevailing commercial functions as transporting, warehousing, logistics and distribution. Diploma thesis refers about those commercial zones as the one suburban space eventhough (re)produced in fragmentarized fashion in area of multiple municipalities in Prague hinterland. This kind of theoretical approach unables complex evaluation of role, meanings and consequences of logistics and distribution zones development - not only for municipalities but also for metropolitan area as a whole. In empirical section there are combined quantitative and qualitative methods in triadic way of reasearch above examined space - evaluation of commuting and goods flows based on discoursive representations and profound insights ascertained from local stakeholders. Logistics and distribution zones development in Prague hinterland is an example of territorial act with consequnces for upper metropolitan scale. In final discussion thesis will outline ways how to improve territorial arrangement process targeting towards elimination of the most negative consequences connected with large scale development. Key words: logistics and distribution...

Thanks to its ownership and ethnic structure Černý Most represents an ideal fieldwork site where both long term and contemporary phenomena resulting from the post-socialist transformation can be detected, described and analysed. After 1989, former socialist modernist cities have undergone a plethora of political, economical and social changes and disruptions. These changes continuously uncover an ongoing interaction between the initial egalitarian and collectivist heritage of the housing estate as well as its ambiguous and fragmented property structure. Spaces of the estates are continuously (re)produced through various manifestations of actors' territorial claims. The spatial changeability is best described by Henri Lefebvre's notion of socio-material (re)production of space and his widely used concept of spatial triad (Lefebvre 1991). Transformation of housing estates is therefore (re)produced through (in)visible...
