Elementary school pupils' misconceptions related to choropleth and proportional symbol maps
Šmídová, Michala ; Havelková, Lenka (advisor) ; Kocová, Tereza (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the identification and analysis of misconceptions that are formed when the ninth grade pupils work with thematic maps of quantitative mapping methods, specifically with the choropleth map and proportional symbol map. The theoretical introduction defines the tested mapping methods, reviews previous foreign and Czech studies of map skills, and describes misconceptions that are formed both in cartography in general and specifically when working with thematic maps of quantitative mapping methods. The theoretical part is followed by the practical part - the research methodology and the design of an open conceptual test itself. The test is compiled according to the concept map, which was based on the literature review of previous empirical studies and theoretical publications. From the conceptual map eight propositions (statements) that are key to understanding the concept of choropleth map and proportional symbol map were determined based on an expert evaluation. The conceptual test was used to reveal misconceptions that are formed when working with these mapping methods. A total of 257 pupils from eight primary schools across Czechia took part in the testing and a total of 59 misconceptions of varying severity and frequency were revealed. These misconceptions were then...

Marginální a periferní regiony (vybraná území obcí s pověřeným obecním úřadem) v Jihomoravském kraji
Suchá, Andrea
This thesis deals with the marginal and peripheral regions (at the level of administrative districts of the municipalities with an authorized municipal office) in the South Moravian Region. The subject of this thesis is the evaluation of three selected regions, a description of their socio-demographic characteristics, from which the marginality and the territory peripheries can be studied. The work is complemented with the time series (population, basic index), the line charts, and also with the relevant cartograms. The future regional development in selected municipalities with an authorized municipal office has been captured through the linear trend function until 2020.

Cluster analysis of destricts of the Czech Republic ecording to demographic indicators
Saifrtová, Barbora ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Miskolczi, Martina (referee)
Master thesis deals with dividing destricts of the Czech Republic in to clusters acording to demographic indicators during the year 2011. After the theoretical introduction with exploratory data analyiss, factor analysis and cluster analysis is described practical implementation of agglomerative hierarchical clustering. Within the frame cluster analysis we compare results calculated by four methods of clustering, which are the single linkage method, the complete linkage method, the average linkage method and Ward's method. At the conclusion we select the method which divides destricts of the Czech Republic in to the clusters the best. Master thesis includes a prezentations of discovere results with the help of dendrograms and cartograms. The analysis were carried out with the help of the statistical program STATISTICA.
