Transformation of butterfly fauna on a middle scale: Situation in the South Bohemian Region.
ZAPLETAL, Michal
This thesis summarises historical and recent information on the distribution of butterflies in South Bohemian region, based on 130 records from literature, collections and recording reports, amassed during Mapping of Czech Republic butterflies. Historical and present distributions of each of 130 butterfly species found in their region are displayed on distribution maps. Out of the 130 species, 42,1 % is already extinct, while 24,1 % is threatened to some extend. Comparison with the situation in entire Czech Republic reveals a higher rate of extinctions, which is probably a function of smaller total area. Compared with the Czech Republic total, xerophilous species suffered higher losses in South Bohemia, whereas species of mesic habitats are relatively less endangered and for peat bogs specialists, the region represents a major refugium. Priorities for further research and active conservation measures are discussed.

Habitat association of moths (Lepidoptera: Macrolepidoptera) in a structurarly diverse nature reserve (Koda National Nature Reserve, Cesky Kras)
ZÁVITKOVSKÁ, Lenka
Based on light trapping carried out in 2010, I studied moth communities of the Koda National nature reserve, part of Český kras landscape protected area, in order to compare moth communities inhabiting major biotope types within the reserve. The obtained material consisted of 295 species in 4455 individuals. Steppe enclaves hosted more species than overgrown coppices and beech-dominated high forests. Ordination analyses distinguished between steppe and forest biotopes. Steppe catches differed from forest catches in habitat associations of constituent species (more species of grassland habitats), whereas the two forest types did not differ in this. Identical patterns applied for all moths analysed together and for analyses restricted to Geometridae and Noctuidae moths. Steppic enclaves represent the most valuable sites within the Koda reserve.

Nature Protection as a Part of Economic Policy: Land Trusts
Šímová, Tereza ; Ševčík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Fialová, Helena (referee) ; Kluvánková, Tatiana (referee)
Since 1980's, there have been many changes in the system of nature protection of the Czech Republic. Private environmental groups -- land trusts -- evolved. Institutions and social norms have become more important. The thesis compares institutional framework of conservation in the Czech Republic, based on rentals, voluntary agreements and ownership, with American land trust movement and its system of conservation easements, supported by both federal and local governments.

Host specificity of Large Blue (Phengaris arion) on Myrmica ants and its relation to habitat management in Valachia, east Czech Republic
REJMAN, Adam
Large Blue butterfly (Phengaris arion) is one of the critically endangered species in Czech Republic and Europe. Its larvae spend only a short part of the life feeding on flower buds, the rest of the stage it live inside ant nests and feeds on ant broods. I studied preferences of the solely host ant genus Myrmica in Wallachia (eastern Czech Republic), where the butterfly is still abundant. At this sites I explored nests the ants in the time of full grown larvae and pupae (unfortunately I did not find any butterfly stadium), recorded environmental characteristics of the nest vicinity and sampled workers of the ants for further determination. Except some marginal effects I did not find a clear differences in the niche of individual ant species.

Species variability of bentic organisms in Dračice river classicifed by PERLA system
KOUTNIK, Dalibor
Examination ecological size selected part of river (from village Františkov to border with Austria) on the basis of field watching. Observed results are analysed by system PERLA. Method is based on analysing biodiversity makrozoobenthos sample from fordables running water. Sampling can be apply in running water, where water column not exceed 1 m and speed of water stream to 1 m/s. Taking is made by normal or low water stage.

Training and education in climbing
KOŘÍNEK, David
The work follows training and education in climbing. At first, the theoretic part introduce climbing like a unit and show its history and sections. Then follows education, climbing rules, ethics and nature protection. At last, there are present climbing informations, completed with theory, practise and methodology of climbing education. The practical part is focused on concrete dates gaining about training and education in clubs of Czech mountaineering association and confirming the truth of research hypotheses made according to the theoretic part. The work is generally aimed to introduce a process of training and education in climbing and give actual informations about it, prooved by research.

Teaching of Biogeography and environmental Protection at the Primary School
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Stanislava
The theme of this diploma thesis is the "Tcheaching of Biogeography and environmental Protection at the Primary School". The thesis is specifically concerned with the elaboration of alternative teaching material for primary schools that can be applied for lessons geography, natural science, as well as interest Gross and seminars. It also represents a source of inspiration and information for teachers. The thesis proceeds from the Framework Education Programme for Basic Education namely from the field of education "Human and Nature" and topical spheres such as "Natural View of the Earth" and "Environment". It complies with the sectional theme "Environmental Education". This thesis includes an analysis and assesment of selected geography textbooks for the 2nd stage of primary school. The main assessment criteria were the quality of subjekt matter processing and textbook structure. Furthermore, the thesis comprises of text part, worksheets, and thein key solutions.

The impact of tourism on protection of nature and environment in the selected region
ŠEDIVÝ, Richard
This dissertation deals with impact of travelling on protection of nature and environment in the region called Žďárské vrchy. It shows the authorities of nature protection in the Czech republic. It contains the description of area itself. This work includes all the sports (cykling, hiking, mountaineering and other winter sports) which are done in this area. These sports can influence environment and this fact is analysed and there is also described the possible way of solution within nature protection of Žďárské vrchy. In this dissertation is described a problem of a sustainable develompment and tourism in this conservation area.

The possibilities and limits of socio-economic development in the Šumava region
Staňková, Lucie ; Silovská, Hana (advisor) ; Schuster, Karel (referee)
The present bachelor thesis is focused on the limits and possibilities of development in the Šumava region. The region is characterized mainly by its territory - there are three types of the specially protected areas - national park, protected landscape area and biosphere reserve. This thesis deals with the issue of the socio-economic development in relation to the principles of nature protection and sustainable development. The main goal of this paper is to define the possibilities, key activities and impacts on the region in connection with the occurrence of the types of protected geographical departments. The thesis also tried to clarify the current situation thanks to information obtained from an interview with three local stakeholders; furthermore, it analyzed strategic documents and evaluated the projects already implemented in the region.

Natural potential, its conservation and possible uses in tourism in the Czech Republic
Ehlová, Pavla ; Jarolímková, Liběna (advisor) ; Herget, Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the natural potential of the Czech Republic, its conservation and possible uses in tourism. Firstly, the animate and inanimate nature is characterised, the conservation of nature and landscape on the state and international level follows. The types of tourism, which primarily use natural surroundings to their realisation, are defined in the next part. The most important of them are described in the separated subchapters. Also the conflict between using the natural potential and conservation of nature is outlined and the restrictions of carrying on various touristic activities, arised from a legislation, are mentioned. The natural potential and its uses is afterward presented from the point of view of tourist regions. In conclusion, the thesis tries to find a compromise between conservation of nature and its uses in tourism and introduces the types of tourism, which respect the principles of sustainable development.
