Mapping of water quality in Prague creeks with GIS
Thompsonová, Tereza ; Matějíček, Luboš (advisor) ; Benešová, Libuše (referee)
This thesis is focused in using of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for mapping water quality in Prague creeks. The theoretical section focuses in a description of GIS and selected GIS projects (SWAT, ZABAGED) including a description of using GIS abroad. Working processes of chemical analyzes required to determine water quality and pollution sources in the area of urbanized basin are explained in the task. The practical section is focused in processing of data, especially mapping of selected creeks and sampling profiles using GIS. Obtained data is processed in tables and charts and used in correlation analysis. A purpose of the project was to demonstrate a possibility of GIS for modelling basin and its parameters.

Monasteries of the Order of the Servants of Mary in Prague
Šinorová, Anna ; Foltýn, Dušan (advisor) ; Charvátová, Kateřina (referee)
This thesis deals with the problematics concerning the monasteries of the Order of the Servants of Mary in Prague, particularly during the years of 1360-1786. The focus of this work lies in the history of three servite monasteries in Prague. This work deals with both characteristics of the order and the particular events that marked its destiny. The main goal is to bring to light the development of the Order's environment until its suppression under Josef II. It next describes the fate of the monastery buildings, which today still stand as a testament of the Order's influence.

Impact of catastrophic flood on the species and size composition of the diet of kingfisher (Alcedo atthis)
Hadravová, Alena ; Čech, Martin (advisor) ; Porkert, Jiří (referee)
A B S T R A C T This study examines the impact of catastrophic flood on the species com- position and size of fish prey in the diet of kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) nest- ing in Prague's Botič stream in 2013. Floods in June 2013 affected mainly Bohemia and partly Moravia. The streams across the Vltava river basin, in part of the Elbe river basin and marginally in the Thaya river got swollen. The effect of the flood on the Botič stream was further ampli- fied by draining of water from the dam Hostivař. Hundred and forty year water caused considerable damage to property and it is likely that it also changed the character and size composition of biota, especially fish. This change should be reflected naturally in the diet of kingfisher, which nests and hunts here. The species composition and size of fish prey in the diet of kingfisher before and after the catastrophic flood was investigated from the mass of regurgitated pellets collected from nest tunnels and chambres. In the nesting sediment, 689 head diagnostic bones (pharyngeal bones - ossa pharyngea and preopercual bones - praeoperculare) were found before the flood on Botič stream in June 2013. These bones belonged to 10 fish species and 3 families (Cyprinidae, Percidae and Balitoridae). The average length of fish was 6,5 cm, average weight 2,6 g, and the index of...

Changes of Zahradní Město - Záběhlice in lifestories of its natives
Kolářová, Dana ; Vaněk, Miroslav (advisor) ; Krátká, Lenka (referee)
The topic of this thesis is the way native inhabitants look at the changes of Zahradní Město and the old part of Záběhlice. It also describes its inhabitants' experience of these changes. The thesis employs the methodological approach of oral history, analyzing and interpreting interviews with people who were born or have spent the majority of their active life in that particular area. As a result, what comes to light is how much Zahradní Město and the old part of Záběhlice have changed over the last fifty years and, in a certain way, is changing still. It shows the evolution of a distant suburb as it came to be a part of the wider city centre of Prague, which faces typical urbanisation problems now. According to its inhabitants, Zahradní Město is best considered an independent part of Prague, even though it is officially "just" a part of Záběhlice. The mutual relationship of the inhabitants of Zahradní Město and the old part of Záběhlice is another topic of this thesis, as it tries to describe this relationship and find possible factors that have formed it. The thesis starts with an historical overview, following the way Prague was formed and divided regarding municipal administration. It then moves on to methodology, which describes the process of planning and the realization of the project...
