Skála, Tomáš ; Chromý, Pavel (advisor) ; Šantrůčková, Markéta (referee)
This thesis deals with the topic of place as one of the most important concepts of human geography. The term place is examined from the perspective of social constructivism. In the first part the thesis focuses on the term place, place perception, space perception and place identity. Those and other important terms are discussed based on scholar literature considering the terms. In the second part of this thesis changes of place identity are analyzed using the example of Zbuzany, a suburban village of Prague with its space dynamically grounds. Old maps and aerial photos are used for observation of the changes within the area. Also, the main phases of space development are defined. The third part of this thesis uncovers the symbolic space using semi-structured interviews conducted with six respondents from three age groups representing different generations. The interviews were analyzed and the differences in sense of place and space among generations were proved.

Sociálně-populační rozvinutost periferních, semiperiferních a střediskových sídel okresu Klatovy
HOUDKOVÁ, Barbora
The bachelor thesis focuses on the evaluation of human, demographic and social capital of remote (peripheral) types of settlements of the Klatovsky District. First, settlement centres are defined and their hierarchy is established (micro-regional cities, very small towns, townshops, townvillages and larger villages) according to four indicators of centrality (population, number of types of selected services, number of commutes for work and to schools, and number of public transport links). Subsequently, the peripheral settlements of the micro-regional level are defined on the basis of the insufficient number of public transport links to micro-regional cities and too long time spent on the journey in these links. In the vicinity of microregional cities are defined suburbia/suburban settlements. The remaining settlements are semi-peripheral settlements. In the final, the human, demographic and social capital of individual remote types of settlements and peripheral areas of settlements is analysed. In addition to 3 microregional towns (Klatovy, Sušice, Horažďovice), one very small town (Nýrsko), 5 townships (Janovice nad Úhlavou, Švihov, Železná Ruda, etc.), 14 townvillages and 18 larger villages were defined. Quite large peripheral areas were found in the border with Bavaria. Microregional cities have favourable values of education, suburban settlements are characterized by favorable population development and by higher proportion of children, semi-peripheral settlements have a favorable age structure and significant activities of associations. Peripheral settlements had surprisingly favorable population development.

It monitors development of these suburbs in socialist and post-socialist period, whereas suburbs are divided in suburbs of urban and country landscapes, towns and small towns of agglomeration and distant suburbs except agglomeration.
