Reasons for Relocating Capital Cities and Their Implications
Illmann, Erik ; Romancov, Michael (advisor) ; Kofroň, Jan (referee)
REASONS FOR RELOCATING CAPITAL CITIES AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS Bachelor Thesis Erik Illmann Abstract This bachelor thesis explores the process of capital city relocation. Its aim is to create a typology of reasons, why capital cities move. In the first part the thesis describes capital cities from a theoretical viewpoint and introduces theories relevant to their relocations - the growth centre (pole) theory, the theory of nation-building, and a theory determining the relationship between capital cities, distance, and conflict. In the second part it explores the cases of fifteen relocations of capital cities since the year 1900 and two currently considered relocations. Based on these case studies I arrive at the conclusion that there are five reasons why capital cities move: 1. Nation-building purposes, 2. Spread of regional development, 3. Issues of the capital city, 4. To mitigate the threat of insurrection, and 5. The decision of the leader.

Population development in the districts of Prague between 2001 and 2013
Křenková, Lenka ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Kraus, Jaroslav (referee)
The main goal of this study is to analyse population development in Prague districts in between 2001 and 2013. Within this frame the processes of mortality, fertility, migration and population aging are also examined. As a part of this study, a sample survey on the policies of districts regarding issues with demographic structure was made. The results prove, that life expectancy at birth generally rose in Prague, with differences from district to district. It also rose faster for the population of men. The total fertility rate also grew, as well as the mean age of mothers giving birth. The center of the city lost some of its population from migration, mainly due to migration to the outer districts. Whereas, districts on the outskirts saw an increase in migration. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
