Spatial analysis of carpooling in the Czech Republic
OLIVA, Petr
The thesis is focused on the spatial analysis of carpooling in the Czech Republic. Specifically, it monitors Facebook groups dealing with this phenomenom. These groups are used to for sharing offers and proposals concerning carpooling in the Czech Republic. The main goal of the thesis is the spatial analysis of carpooling in the Czech Republic. In the theoretical part, the thesis deals marginally with spatial mobility and other alternative modes of transport. However, the thesis mainly focuses on carpooling itself. It describes the history of carpooling, its forms and its types. In the analytical part, the thesis examines data about carpooling in the observed groups according to specified parameters such as number of members, number of posts per month, distance and other. Futhermore, the analytical part of the thesis deals with spatiotemporal variability and concentration of posts in carpooling groups. The results of the thesis revealed that the largest groups and the most members are associated with the largest cities in the Czech Republic, especially Prague. The largest concentratration of offers and proposals for carpooling was found on the routes between these cities. The evaluation of spatiotemporal variability and concentration of posts determined that greatest concentration and the highest numbers of posts were in the morning and evening hours in days Monday, Friday and Sunday.
