The potential of parking-lots at railway stations for commuting to Prague
Malátek, David ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Haas, Václav (referee)
Metropolises like Prague are increasingly burdened by the negative aspects of growing individual car transportation. The most significant burden likely comes from the daily commute for employment from the broader Prague region to the capital. Public mass transit options are limited, and there are various reasons why people are unwilling or unable to relinquish the use of their own means of transportation. A significant reason is the limited transportation accessibility in residential areas. In contrast, in Prague, transportation accessibility is generally at a high level. Therefore, to alleviate this, Park and Ride (P+R) facilities are being established near railway stations or metro stations on the outskirts of the capital. However, in the broader Prague region within the Central Bohemian Region, such facilities are still relatively scarce. This thesis will examine the potential of Park and Ride facilities at railway stations in the Prague metropolitan area for suburban transportation, with a focus on commuting to work and schools. The issue will be elucidated based on sources of professional literature and statistical data. Subsequently, an analysis will be conducted to evaluate the feasibility of using P+R facilities for commuting to work or schools for individual municipalities in the studied...

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...
