Geoprostorová analýza veletržních areálů
Štěpánková, Lenka
The European exhibition centres may show some unique features but they also have many things in common. Their typical qualities can be identified using the spatial analysis. The metod described in this paper is devised to exploit the data available on internet and to create the visual output based on the data. Such analysis can be used to examine the size and structure of the venues as well as their position within the cities. The possible further use of the metod in urban research is indicated eventually.

Price of Location: The Private versus Commercial Accommodation in Selected European Cities
Houfková, Barbora ; Kocourek, David (advisor) ; Matoušek, Jindřich (referee)
This thesis investigates the relationship between the location and the price of short-term accommodation in context of European metropolitan cities. We em- ploy the econometric OLS regression with log-level functional form to estimate the influence of main determinants on the price of the accommodation. We compare hotels and apartments in determined cities. We find out that there is a negative relationship between the distance from the city centre and the price of the accommodation. Our model determines the exact rate of drop in prices due to increasing proximity from the city centre. Furthermore, we find distance from the metro station and presence of Wi-Fi in the rooms as insignificant fac- tors for our sample. Finally, we explore that people's perception of the metro station is stable with changing proximity from the city centre. In conclusion, we provide suggestions for further research based on our analyses.

Evaluation of air temperature in relationship for urban heat island studies
Kalousová, Jitka ; Kožnarová, Věra (advisor) ; Lenka, Lenka (referee)
The present thesis deals with another current issue, which is known as the urban heat island. Phenomenon which aries by changes in the environment i divided into two categories namely natural and anthropogenic, this two categories can work together. City and counrtyside are different, the cause is the growing urbanization of towns and changing the earth´s surface, taht can absorb solar radiation and later released into the environment. The result of this process, the warming of the atmosphere in the cities.
In the literary part describes the historical development of climate, climate as a separate element and urban heat island. Urban heat island is also distributed through energy balance, causes, impacts and possible alternatives to eliminate ist mitigation.
The main objective was to describe the available evidence and evaluate data from four different European citites (Bourges, Hamburg, Karlov and Strasbourg). Furthermore to determine through maximum and minimum monthly temperatures in the summer months, whether in those cities discovers and develops this phenomenon. Further analyze the frequency of individual synoptic situations for the period 1961-2010 and evaluated their relationship to the air temperature.
In the first hypothesis was from statistical studies demonstrated, that in summer was markked ibcidence of urban heat island, which is especially noticeable in minimum temperatures. Further analysis demonstrated that the synoptic situation, when they have their effect on the urban heat island. The second hypothesis and it´s the air temperature changes are causes by human activities, and the result is creation of urban heat island to certify based on the evaluation of the data series.
