MODETA JIHLAVA
Palová, Iva ; Ryška, Zbyněk (referee) ; Dýr, Petr (advisor)
The task of the diploma thesis was to develop an architectural study of the revizalization of a former textile factory for the needs of the ZOO Jihlava. The oldest part of the building was probably built at the beginning of the 20th century, but it does not fass under any kind of protection of czech heritage. The study should include a transport solution in connection with the ZOO (with an emphasis on increasing the capacity of parkong spaces), restaurants, ZOO exhibits, interactive educational elements, congress halls, short-term accommodation, a technical background of the building, the economic and energy concept of the building, the concept of planting greenery and water management solutions. The idea of the thesis is to connect the building with the ZOO, which gives visitors the opportunity to use the restaurant and continue viewing the indoor (also winter) exhibition. This creates another separate tour route. At the same time, all parts of Modeta are accessible separately outside the ZOO area.

Proposal for a redesign of the exoterium of ZOO Brno
Kalábková, Tereza ; Boháč, Ivo (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis focuses on the redesign of Exoteria in the Brno Zoo, where the current structure is outdated and aesthetically unpleasing, barely meeting the needs of birds and lacking the necessary attractiveness for a facility of this kind. The goal of the thesis is to propose an innovative and functional solution in the form of four functional units: a bird pavilion, an aquarium pavilion, facilities for staff, and a refreshment facility. The architectural design combines an ecological approach with the concept of open architecture, aiming to connect visitors with nature and animals. It offers an open space in the outdoor aviary of the bird pavilion and features a green element with a vegetative façade for the refreshment facility. The aquarium pavilion is envisioned as a multifunctional center for meetings and education, allowing for lectures, film screenings, and other cultural events that connect visitors with the underwater world. The thesis delves into the details of the aquarium pavilion and the refreshment facility. The proposal involves the removal of overgrown vegetation and trees, with a priority on minimizing impacts on the natural environment. Simultaneously, the thesis suggests replanting new trees to preserve ecological balance. The work is based on the architectural design studio in the fourth year, with a focus on interior design.

Butterflies in Czech Republic ZOOs: Evaluation of a collective survey
SÝKOROVÁ, Karolína
The thesis analyses inventory of butterflies in 20 Czech Republic zoological gardens, carried out in 2022-2023. The butterfly fauna of invididual ZOOs is diverse and highly variable. In total, 56 butterflies and 3 burntet moths were recorded. Records of 14 species included in the national red list (1 endangered, 3 vulnerable, 10 near threatened) emphasize the conservatoin potential of ZOOs. Regressions of species richness revealed importance of the factors, which affect species richness of other clearly delimited land units, namely on area (correlated with annual budget and numbers of visitors in case of the ZOOs) and altitude range, as proxy for habitat diversity. Applying indirect (DCA) and direct (RDA) ordination methods failed to detect predictors of species' composition. This was probaby due to relatively small sample size, compared with the diversity of individual ZOOs.

Zhodnocení chovu kapybar v České republice
FOLTYNOVÁ, Adéla
The bachelor thesis focuses on the evaluation of capybara husbandry in the Czech Republic. The aim of this thesis is to describe the problems of capybara husbandry in the Czech Republic and to provide recommendations for improving the care of these animals. The biological and ethological characteristics of capybaras are described, basic information about capybara keeping and their feeding habits are given. Furthermore, the environmental, dietary and health care requirements for captive capybaras are described. In the practical part of the thesis, the conditions of capybara husbandry in Czech zoos and animal breeding facilities were evaluated and compared. The quality of environment and animal care was evaluated and recommendations for improvement of husbandry were suggested based on the results.

Zoos as socially constructed institutions in changing social and territorial contexts
Nekolný, Lukáš ; Fialová, Dana (advisor) ; Šantrůčková, Markéta (referee) ; Boltižiar, Martin (referee)
This dissertation deals with research of the zoo as a social construct, which in its history and form represents the development of the relationship between society and nature, or man and animals. At the same time, it is a specific cultural landscape reflecting other changes in paradigms and needs in society. The current form of zoos has always reflected various economic, political, environmental and cultural aspects, or opinion and spatial changes of society. This work is a contribution to the discussion of the application of thematization typical of contemporary experience-oriented society. The aim of the thesis is to characterize the development of zoos and their current form in Europe, where this concept originated at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, and to discuss regional differences regarding the different geographical context of the post-socialist space. From the geographical point of view, this is a topic rarely addressed so far, both from a theoretical (the zoo as an example of the specific landscape) as well as a regional approach. The first part provides a theoretical framework by means of a discussion of scientific literature and formulating the starting points of the research based on selected concepts and paradigms (social constructivism, the relationship between man and...

Zoos within the structure and functioning of European cities
Mati, David ; Tichý, Jan (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
The main topic of this bachelor thesis is a comparison of a Brno city and a Zoo Brno, as representatives of European cities and zoos, regarding their structure, functioning, operation, their mutual influence and cooperation. The thesis deals with certain features that occur in urban and zoo structures and with the demonstration of individual analyses. These include, for example, analyses of planning development documentation, transport infrastructure, management and financing methods, engineering networks, or public space amenities. Evaluation of these analyses will reveal whether zoos and cities have the same, similar or completely different structure. The introductory part of the thesis deals with the origin of zoos, their development, common factors, contexts, and their influence on the structure of many European cities.

Analysis of ZOO Brno Attendance
Stejskalová, Markéta ; Šustrová, Tereza (referee) ; Novotná, Veronika (advisor)
The main aim of this diploma thesis is to analyse visitation of the zoological garden in Brno and to make recommendations which could result in higher values of visitation. The major causes of the fluctuation in visitation are found out and the econometric model is created. Due to this model, we can predict the future values of the reference indicator. In order to determine the interdependence between Zoo Brno attendance and the number of guests accommodated in the South Moravian Region, the econometrics model of South Moravia Region visitation was created too. Based on the analysis of external and internal environment, recommendations which could positively influence Zoo Brno attractiveness and number of its visitors are suggested. All used methods of analysis and creating model are presented in the theoretical part of this diploma thesis.
