Cirque overdeepening in the High Tatras
Nadžadyová, Alexandra ; Křížek, Marek (advisor) ; Margold, Martin (referee)
Cirque overdeepening in the High Tatras Abstract: The High Tatras are currently an unglaciated mountain range with distinct glacial and periglacial shapes, as they were among the most glaciated mountain ranges during the Pleistocene. This allowed the formation of glacial cirques in the valley heads, which nowadays serve as ideal paleoenvironmental indicators. The aim of this work is therefore to determine the extent of cirque overdeepening in the Slovak part of the High Tatras and to establish the relationship of cirque overdeepening to standard morphometric, positional, and environmental characteristics of cirques. Based on the current digital elevation model (DEM), cirque edges, steps, and foot of cirque walls were defined and the values of morphometric parameters important for the construction of longitudinal profiles (k-curves, c-curves) were determined, thanks to which the overdeepening of the cirques was determined. The average value of the overdeepening of all the cirques according to the k coefficient was 0,85 (ranging from 0,51 to 1,46) and according to the c coefficient it was -0,97 (ranging from -0,11 to -2,96). The resulting inventory of 110 cirques was therefore used to analyse the relationships of the overdeepening coefficients to the above characteristics among themselves. The values of the...

Pastoralism in the East Tatras national parks. Cultural and ecological context in present
Bohušová, Ivana ; Matoušek, Václav (advisor) ; Ložek, Vojen (referee)
Shepherd's expansion into the Eastern Tatras valleys started latest in the 14th century. The peak of the pastoralism was Walachian colonization in the 16th century. Shephards usually used to drive out their herd (to pasture) to an altitude over 2000 meters above the sea level. The damage caused by grazing has grown to such proportions that pasturage was prohibited in some areas. After the establishment of the Tatra National Park the pastoralism in the High Tatras and Belianske Tatras in Slovakia was completely banned. In Poland shepherding was recovered in the form of cultural pasture, which is being regulated under strict conditions to prevent damage to the environment, after about 30 years long pause in the territory of Tatrzański Park Narodowy. The main objective of my thesis is to find out whether it would be possible to bring back the grazing to the territory of the Tatra National Park. If yes, then under what specific conditions, with what advantages or disadvantages, in its comprehensive perspective, not only natural but also socio-cultural. I took inspiration from the cultural pasture in Poland, and I was interested in the negatives of regulated grazing as well. I made my research in the form of semi-structured interviews with experts and with general public. The results of the empirical...

Olešová, Petra ; Petrů, Zdenka (advisor) ; Voříšková, Barbora (referee)
The diploma thesis analyzes the needs and requirements of families with children as a segment of tourism in the High Tatras region.The thesis is divided into three chapters, the first chapter defines the basic theoretical concepts of tourism and focuses on the general characteristics of the family as the subject of the analysis. The second chapter explains the behavior of families in the tourism market and identifies its basic needs. The third chapter focuses on the region of High Tatras, first analyzes the services aimed at families segment, and then analyses the needs of the segment by own questionnaire survey. In conclusion, the paper evaluates all the knowledge and suggests possible measures to develop family tourism in the High Tatras region.
