Proměny jihočeského pohraničí a jeho obyvatelstva po druhé světové válce v dobových pramenech a paměti obyvatel Kaplicka
MUSILOVÁ, Tereza
This thesis focuses on the post-war development of the border region marked by a violent change in its demographic structure - the displacement of the German-speaking population and the subsequent settlement of Czechs and Slovaks from the inland or abroad. The subject of the research is the transformation of the South Bohemian border region, specifically the region centred around the town of Kaplice (precisely the former district of Kaplice), which took place after the Second World War. Based on secondary literature, but especially contemporary sources and the living memory of the local inhabitants, this thesis deals with and further analyses the course of settlement and the transformation of the local society and the coexistence of different groups. It aims to analyse which national groups settled in this region and how they perceived the transformation of the borderland themselves. Based on nine stories, the thesis compares the experiences of Czech and German old settlers with the ones of newcomers. The final part of this thesis outlines possibilities of using these stories in the teaching of modern history in subjects such as Civics and Social science.

Dvořáková, Klára ; Grygar, Jakub (advisor) ; Kandert, Josef (referee)
This diploma thesis is about residents who live in the Lesser Town, the historic center of Prague. It focuses on the changes perceived by residents that took place during their lifetime. Work is based on literature and qualitative research in the form of biographical interviews.

The analytical part is divided into seven units: changes of the atmosphere of the Lesser Town, its inhabitants, living environment, housing stock, changes of people who have shared their stories with me and more global changes that had influenced the Lesser Town.

Calm and wild river; An etnography study around the Otava river
Mottlová, Tereza ; Kuřík, Bohuslav (advisor) ; Sosna, Daniel (referee)
In this diploma thesis I wanted to find out how people who live in a close relationship with the river deal with the extremes like are floods and drought. I wondered if local settlers and the city administration identified the threat of flood differently from people who did not live in contact with the river, and if their relationship with the river could be useful for others. I tried to find out if and how the locals reflect climate change through their lived experiences with floods and droughts. During my six-month research, based on ethnographic methods I spent time with gardeners who have been critically affected by drought in recent years, with settlers who regularly experience floods and with representatives of the city administration. Thanks to ethnography, I was able to understand the context of the relationships I studied. I found out that living in contact with floods is not as dramatic as it may seem to an observer. Thanks to many years od experience with floods and the river have the locals developed local knowledge, that can be very useful for whole city; If the city administration can combine expert and local knowledge, solving potential problems with high water can become much more effective and proportionate to reality. People living under the threat of floods do not need to be seen...

Vaněk, Vavřinec ; Novák, Arnošt (advisor) ; Orcígr, Václav (referee)
This MA thesis focuses on gentrification of Prague's Karlín district. It examines the issue through the optics of original residents and deals with the following questions: How do original residents perceive the change of their district? What is the impact of gentrification on their everyday lives? In order to answer these questions, qualitative research was used. The data was collected through interviews and participant and non-participant observation. The thesis provides an overview of leading theories of gentrification (such as Smith's Rent gap theory, Ley's consumer explanation theory, and Florida's creative class theory), which are applied to the obtained data. The theoretical chapter of the thesis summarizes these theories. This part also includes a brief history of the Karlín district and provides an overview of the existing research on Karlín's gentrification. The topics that appeared in the interviews with original residents form a structure of this chapter; these interviews are also quoted directly. Keywords: gentrification, Karlín, original residents, displacement
