Syntactic analysis of Czech speakers in the Romanian Banat
Vyskočilová, Karolína ; Lehečková, Eva (advisor) ; Dittmann, Robert (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is an analysis of syntactic perturbations in the oral production of Czech speakers of the Bigr village at the Banat region, Romania. In the theoretical part, this thesis describes the historical and linguistic context of the Banat's Czech villages, with special emphasis on Bigr. In the analytical part then, the thesis set out to test hypotheses based on previous research, using the BANAT language corpus created for this study. In cases where it deems possible, the results are compared to the ORAL language corpus of spoken Czech. The analysis verified the existence of certain phenomena of the Bigerian Czech (e.g. prepositional instrumental of instrument, omission of svůj pronoun), the frequency of which partly corresponds to the language situation in oral production in the Czech Republic (e.g. forward position of pronominal subject, reflexive se, si and auxiliary verb být). The presence of some other phenomena could not be verified.

The effectt of shrubs on establishment of woody plant species in grazed landscape
Wiesner, Pavel ; Vojta, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Brůna, Josef (referee)
My bachelor thesis is concerned about mechanisms that influence establishment and growth of woody plant species under grazing pressure in the temperate climate region. Based on literature sources it determines and explains individual mechanisms and attempts to merge them into a holistic view of the issues of reproduction, propagation and survival of trees and shrubs in the grazed landscape. In general, grazing affects the course of natural succession and under certain conditions helps to maintain shifting landscape mosaics. In addition, the effects of grazing are retroactively modified by the already existing vegetation mosaics. In this regard, existence of shrubs providing protection to seedlings and saplings against bad environmental conditions and against grazing pressure is important, as they help to change spatial heterogenity of vegetation and to establish the shifting mosaics mentioned above. As the spatial heterogenity and total diversity of vegetation can increase or decrease under influences of many factors, the bachelor thesis also pursues the importance of spatial distribution and intensity of grazing, different commonly grazed species and usual systems of grazing management. Keywords: grazing, associational resistance, cyclic succession, wood-pastures, spatial heterogenity of...

Vegetation of old fields and its dynamics in relation to changes of arable land in Czech Banat (Romania)
Veselý, Adam ; Kovář, Pavel (advisor) ; Vojta, Jaroslav (referee)
- 4 - Abstract Recent abandonment of arable land close to the Czech villages originated in Romanian area called Banat during 19th century implies new variety of habitats representing old fields of different age. We can observe succesional stages of vegetation variable in plant diversity, in some cases significantly high with a number of plant species valuable from the viewpoint of nature protection. Some of these species were known as common in Czechlands as well, but nowadays are strongly endangered or completely extinct. Among others, the number of pieces of cattle in Banat has been reduced. This is the reason why traditional pastures have been grazed less intensively, especially those situated in hardly available localities (e.g. karst valleys and slopes) and often shared with neighborhood villages (including Romanian ones). The abandonment of arable fields thus facilitates the landuse by the way of more productive pastures with better availability from the villages. Next steps of secondary succession and the lost of traditional cycle of the land cultivation sparse shrubs are becoming an important part of the old field vegetation structure, which moreover have a strong influence on the potential restoration of forest ecosystems. The main aim of this thesis is to asses the process on the abandoning of...

A comparison of Czech villages Saint Helena and Rovensko in Romanian region of Banat: in areas of availability of transport, community facilities and spatial relationships of local residents
Kresl, Zdeněk ; Freidingerová, Tereza (advisor) ; Horálek, Adam (referee)
Saint Helena and Rovensko are two of six purely Czech municipalities on the Romanian side of Banat. Not very large Czech community has lived there for more than 200 years. Despite the long period of time and surrounding by other ethnics, mostly Romanians and Serbians, Banat Czechs have kept their language, traditions and connection to the Czech nation. After the year 1990, many Banat Czechs moved to Czechoslovakia and this migration flow continues to these days. Depopulation of the villages brings worries about the future. The first part of the paper is focused on history of Banat Czechs in the region and forms of aid from the Czech Republic. In the second part, there is described the current situation in both villages, which have been the objects of the research, regarding transport accessibility, local facilities and spatial relationships of local citizens. The second part stems from the research itself that includes also testimonials of local citizens. The comparison of results of the field research is in the conclusion.

The Czech Banat - a dying community or a region with prosperous future?
Blümelová, Iva ; Freidingerová, Tereza (referee) ; Dzúrová, Dagmar (advisor)
The Czech Banát is an area in Romania where a populous Czech community lives in six typically Czech villages. It has preserved the Czech language, traditions, customs and the way of living for more than 180 years. After the change of the political regime in 1989 many inhabitants have abandoned these villages for Romanian cities or have returned back to the Czech Republic. This research deals with the history of settlement, the development of the size of the population, ways of a living and education in these villages. Based on research made in schools, the opinions and views of the young generation about their future life were explored. Because of the importance of the aid provided by the Czech Republic to this area, it is dealt with in an independent chapter. In the last section, the future of this community threatened by re-emigration is discussed.

The modern-days re-emigrants from the Romanian Banat, their expectations linked to resettlement, adaptation and integration in Czechia
Kresl, Zdeněk
First Czech villages were founded in the region of Banat, Romania, in the first half of the 19th century. The original impetus had come from the administration who intended to populate the mountainous regions of the then military border. To this day a none too numerous community of Czechs surrounded by other nations have kept their original Czech traditions, speak exclusively Czech, and proudly profess their roots. In the course of the 20th century these Czech villages were hit by three waves of re-emigration which resulted in a portion of the locals relocating to their ancestral country. The last wave of re-emigration began in 1989, following the reopening of the borders and the simplification of the whole process of relocation, and it essentially continues to this day. Young people in particular come to the Czech Republic hoping to find here a better job, higher wages and better quality of life, which goes hand in hand with it. These expectations are often exaggerated and unrealistic, though. The first part of this thesis presents a theoretical framework of the whole work, and a historical overview of the Czech community and the individual waves of re-emigration which affected it. Attention will also be paid to the continuous interest in this community on the part of the Czech authorities and...
