Cities, exhibitions and exhibition grounds: how exhibitions affected the cities
Štěpánková, Lenka
Before the end of nineteenth century universal exhibitions, specialised shows and trade fairs became inherent part of both local economy and social and cultural life in Bohemian and Moravian cities. The temporary exhibition grounds where such events were staged from the beginning were gradually replaced by permanent exhibition grounds, and later in the interwar period, major part of the cities in Czechoslovakia either established permanent exhibition venues, or had at least some place reserved for events. Exhibition venues as well as events themselves were affected by the outbreak of WW II and subsequent change of the regime. Their further development in following decades reflected the realities of centrally planned economy and cultural and social life organised and supervised by state authorities. Then the end of the Cold War brought the collapse of planned economy and outset of liberalisation, which often led to rapid changes in the cities and unrestrained transformations of urban structure, exhibition venues included. Future research pertaining the exhibition grounds should cover their historical development and explain how the exhibition grounds and venues can be described and specified in regional spatial plans and other documents. The outcomes of such research should be of importance to heritage care and protection as well. Regarding the interdisciplinary character of the subject, the research is to be carried also in related fields, e.g. art history, economy history, event management, regional studies and the like.

Demographic development of large Czech cities in terms of population
Jalovcová, Karolína ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Kraus, Jaroslav (referee)
Demopraphic development of large czech cities in terms of population Abstract The aim of the presented thesis is to describe and evaluate the demographic development of selected Czech cities (Prague, Brno, Ostrava, Plzeň, Liberec, Olomouc). The thesis focuses on the period in years 1996-2012. In the theoretical part, the population development of the Czech Republic from the beginning of the 1990's and the changes in the demographic behaviour of residents are described, the impact of the demographic revolution on this evolution is clarified, the criteria for determining large cities in terms of population and their brief socioeconomic characteristics are explained. In the second part, the development of these cities, based on available data, is analysed by chosen demographic indicators and the differences in their development are compared. From the analysis, we can see, that all of the cities develop demographically in a similar way. Only Ostrava and partly Prague vary significantly by its development. Keywords: demographic development, large Czech cities, city development, population

Development of Vienna and Budapest in the 2nd half of 19th century and their approaching the idea of being a modern metropolis
Bajusz, Tadeáš ; Rak, Jiří (advisor) ; Matějka, Ondřej (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the development of Vienna and Budapest between 1850 and 1914. The author created a definition of the modern industrial metropolis and the structure of the thesis follows the development of the both cities toward this ideal. First theoretical chapter shows the complex problems of researching the phenomenon of cities and introduces the definition of modern industrial metropolis. This concept serves as the complex approach, how to follow the most important changes in the structure of the cities. Next chapters target the specific aspects of changes in a social structure, an infrastructure, an economy and cultural functions of Vienna and Budapest. The conclusion examines the success of Budapest and Vienna in reaching the characteristic chapters of the modern industrial metropolis. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
