What do children draw (not only ) on the asphalt
Hnyková, Michaela ; Velíšek, Martin (advisor) ; Kafková, Helena (referee)
The topic of this thesis What do children draw (not only) on the asphalt is to explore a material potential of outside environment as a specific device for teaching art education. The first part defines the role of the arts in contemporary education system, sets out the main goals and points out specialties of the field. The next section deals with the observation of spontaneous creative expressions of children on non-traditional sourfaces, their place in the natural need for exploration, and playing as a means of understanding the world. Compares the difference of the creation in outdoor environments on unconventional surfaces and the classical indoor creation and deals with the potential use of this knowledge. Looks for possibilities which would enrich the teaching of art and offer teachers new inspiration. Finally, on the basis of my own interventions, verifies the applicability of theoretical findings and their possible application in teaching at primary schools.

Methodology for assessing the accessibility of green spaces in urban environment
Kubíček, Ondřej ; Temelová, Jana (advisor) ; Fialová, Dana (referee)
In this thesis I focus on assessing the accessibility of public green spaces in urban environment. The paper summarizes some of the problems of measuring the accessibility by analysing selected methods used in previous researches on this topic. The main goal of this work is to propose a methodology, which would deal with these problems and which could be used to measure the accessibility of public green areas in cities as accurately as possible. In the empirical part of the paper I use the proposed methodology to compare the accessibility of public green spaces in two cadastral areas (Motol and Vršovice) and to test the hypothesis that a greater amount of green corresponds with better access to public green spaces for residents. Key words: accessibility, public green space, methodology, urban environment

The effect of urbanization on life-history strategies in birds
Houšková, Karolína ; Sedláček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Poláková, Simona (referee)
Urbanisation process is recently a wide-spread process that causes high-impact environmental transformation. Habitats affected by urbanization tend to change substantially and ongoing changes influence organisms living in this environment. Urban environment modifies many abiotic conditions (e.g. temperature, artificial light and noise) and biotic factors (e.g. food supply, parasite prevalence, predation pressure) in comparison to natural habitats. In this manner, especially urban bird populations have recently gained broad attention by an increasing number of ecologists. Urban avoiders - typically sensitive and specialized bird species often vanish from urbanized landscapes. However, many bird species were able to colonize urban environment and coexist successfully with man. Populations of birds living in such a new type of environment show many characteristics different from populations living in original habitats. The objective of this work is to review current studies about changes of life strategies in urban bird populations such as modifications of acoustic signals, differences in reproductive and food ecology and physiological or behavioural responses.

Comparative Study of Variants Evaluating Noise in Urban Environment
Pomališová, Michaela ; Moldan, Bedřich (advisor) ; Řiháček, Tomáš (referee)
Noise currently represents a problem in society, which disturbs mainly inhabitants in populated areas. It decreases their quality of life and endangers their health. The sensitivity to noise is individual, yet it is possible to measure noise by various means and evaluate its intensity and impact on human beings. Noise as a part of the environment, is becoming on the basis of resident complaints a discussed matter on the town and city level. Their management of noise necessarily involves monitoring and taking subsequent precautions. This work deals with comparing objective and subjective methods in noise evaluation in urban environments and its impact on the quality of life and the health of the residents. It uses a method of the multicriterial evaluation of variant also known as the multicriterial analysis. It compares four approaches to evaluate noise; two objective involving measuring, one subjective using a survey method and one hybrid. The winning method represents the subjective evaluation, which has fulfilled given criteria and acquired a significance of 75 %. All variants included in the analysis are suitable for noise evaluation in outdoor environments on a local level. The outcome of this work is to recommend towns and cities in the Czech Republic to use the winning compromising variant,...

Informační zdroje v ARBORISTICE
Vašíčková, Lucie
This Bachelor thesis disserts on information sources in arboriculture. It features information necessity of interested parties, being focused on availability, information efficiency and conditions for data acquisition of problems in arboriculture. Information sources are arranged in order of processing stage. Following parts of this thesis deal with sorting out gained information by the help of suggested system considering needs of individual subjects, a momentary analysis and a recommendation for their further progress. While I was creating this thesis, I always kept asking over ultimate questions: Where, What and What For? The cardinal determination is to ease information orientation in arboriculture.
