The diploma project is a polemic on the current state of the Czech border region and a speculation on its future development. A test case is the settlement of Hatě, which is part of Chvalovice, a municipality located close to the border with Austria. Hatě is a specific territory - an urban structure that was created in the 1990s right at the border crossing, in the former duty-free zone, and even after its disappearance it is developing into a large commercial and entertainment zone. It targets mainly visitors from Austria, coming to the Czech Republic in search of cheaper goods and services. Hatě is not the only such example - commercial and entertainment zones are regularly repeated at all major border crossings between the Czech Republic and Austria or Germany. The places are defined by bizarre aesthetics, "decadent" businesses and deregulation - as if almost anything is possible here. The project is based on personal experiences with the territory, an attempt to come to terms with a place defined by total non-architecture and asks what is the position of an architect in such a space. Hatě is the antithesis of the city, a "zone" for escaping the everyday, a place that contradicts the basic principles of urbanism. It is a place that offers a reflection on both society and the profession of architecture itself. The work deals not only with the "zone" in Hatě, but also with the municipality of Chvalovice, in whose cadastral territory Hatě is located. Through the mutual synergy of these two places, the project speculates on the possible future development of the area. The polemic is based on the acceleration of the development of the area, which is pushed to the extreme by the proposal. The subject of the proposal is a conceptual master plan or a spatial study that speculates on the possible masterplan of the area of Chvalovice together with the settlement of Hatě.

Švarc, Ondřej ; Koura, Petr (advisor) ; Pokorný, Jiří (referee)
The target of this diploma thesis is the transformation of the countryside after the Second World War in the territory of the former district of Horšovský Týn, whose existence is defined in the years 1945-1960. The work, based on the study of primary sources from the State District Archive of Domažlice, located in Horšovský Týn (primarily from the ONV Horšovský Týn resource), the study of periodicals and secondary literature creates a picture of the post-war border district, which had to go through a series of revolutionary changes during its existence. The work follows the demographic development of the Horšovský Týn district, including the displacement of the German-speaking population and the subsequent settlement of the region by a new Czech population. Using the example of the memoirs of Walter Bernklau, who as a German was deported from Czechoslovakia after the Second World War, the work shows what fates the German-speaking population had to go through during the deportation and what awaited them in their new home. The second half of the work is mainly devoted to the development of agriculture in the region, the history of auxiliary cooperatives in the district of Horšovský Týn in the years 1945-1948 and the collectivization of the region after 1949. In the last chapter, the work on selected...

Historical cultural landscape of the deserted settlements in the Kaplice region
Baramová, Magdalena
The open landscape of the former district of Kaplice, situated between the Bohemian Forest and Gratzen Mountains on the Czech-Austrian border, has stimulated economic and cultural exchange between the two territories since prehistoric times. From the second half of the 13th century until the events after the Second World War, the region was predominantly inhabited by German-speaking population, but after the displacement the area underwent a turbulent development. Within a few years, socio-demographic changes have got imprinted in the landscape, and today several overlapping phenomena can be observed, which together reflect the process of transformation of the area. At the beginning of the 1950s, many settlements disappeared as a result of under-population and the construction of the Iron Curtain. Nevertheless, there are still remains of the use of the landscape by its former inhabitants, especially in the form of relics of buildings, religious architecture, roads, hedgerows, landscaping, waterworks and other traces. The securing of the national border has brought a further transformation of the landscape, which has had a devastating effect on the cultural heritage, but on the other hand it has helped to develop natural communities that are now protected. Even after the fall of communism, the region has not reached the population of the pre-war period, so the absence of settlement continues to give the area a unique genius loci. However, the cultural and historical values of the landscape are not yet protected on a basis, therefore the paper seeks to introduce the values and emphasises the need to protect them.

Historický vývoj zvolených obcí v příhraničních oblastech
DVOŘÁK, Marek
In this bachelor thesis we have presented the historical development of two localities in the border area, namely Rychnov u Nové Hradů and Konratice. The people here have not had an easy life in history. The history of the villages began to be written in the second half of the 13th century, when the church of St. Jilja was built, which is today the most valuable thing that has been preserved in the village. The development of the village was like that of many other villages close to the border. The events that influenced the development of the population and the coexistence of Czechs and Germans are described here, together with the redistribution of property between them. A description of the landscape and the way it has changed compared to the present has been made. It also describes the occurrence and preservation of monuments and the development of life in the village.

Nováková, Tamara ; Pokorný, Jiří (advisor) ; Holubec, Stanislav (referee) ; Dvořák, Tomáš (referee)
The history of mountain pastoral cooperatives 1945-1949 has not yet been sufficiently elaborated and reflected in the whole range of issues, not even at the national level, let alone at the level of each border political district or otherwise defined region. The presented text will focus on the genesis of mountain pasture cooperatives at the national level, in the political post-war context, including the fundamental theoretical background, and will describe in particular the implementation of six cooperatives in the Giant Mts (Krkonoše in Czech) and Giant Mts foothills, in particular the Trutnov political district. In the form of a probe, the implemented HPDs in the Prachatice district will be described for comparison. Comparison of the theoretical plans of the Ministry of Agriculture with concrete implementation in the complicated reality of the various ways of re-locating post-war sites in the Trutnov district brings a new perspective firstly on the evaluation of the success of the mountain pastoral cooperatives or on the limits and possibilities of their success. Secondly, it presents pastoral cooperatives as a key player in the transformation of the cultural landscape of some localities affected by them. At the same time, the study describes the exklusive possibility for grassland promoters to...
