Discussions with the literature also includes related phenomenon of allotment gardeners - second home. In the theoretical part, self-supply is mentioned such as a certain lifestyle. This chapter outlines not only the development and trends in self-supply (fruits and vegetables), but also overall trends in food consumption. The aim was to clarify at micro-regional level, who are the people who own the garden and what do they use it for. For this purpose was processed a questionnaire which was distributed to owners of allotment gardens and also to owners of the house with garden. Based on the results of the questionnaire I could confirm or refute defined hypotheses. The questionnaire also showed the increasing interest in allotment gardening. Keywords: Allotment gardens, Czech gardening association, selfsupplying, gardeners

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...

Zahrádkářské kolonie v souvislostech - případová studie
Němcová, Petra
Bachelor thesis addresses issues connected to a gardening colony in Bučovice. Theoretical part comprises of a background research of literature focused on history and development of gardening colonies in the Czech Republic including community gardens. Practical part aims its attention at a municipality Bučovice, in particular at development and history of a specific gardening colony, Pod Úlehou. Among used methods were fieldwork, public opinion poll, comparison method and SWOT Analysis. Three hypotheses were formed. Out of these three, two were confirmed ("citizens of Bučovice and its surroundings want to sustain their gardening colonies" and "men tend to garden more than women") and one was disproved (about financial costs of garden-ing). The result inspired creating a case study about financial management of a chosen gardener, where the above-mentioned financial costs are specified. As we can see from the results, the gardening colony has a potential to be used in the same way as up to now also in the future.

Garden is the only real world for the gardener: Case study of the garden allotments Cibulka and Technomat in Prague
Valešová, Irena ; Novák, Arnošt (advisor) ; Zandlová, Markéta (referee)
This work is based on the article by Jan Keller (2000) - Praise of Gardeners, in which Jan Keller mentioned garden allotments as places distatnt to globalized economy and consumerist lifestyle of today's world. The aim is to verify if the content of this article corresponds to the true situation in the selected garden allotments in Prague. This work can help to get an idea of the benefits of the garden allotments not only for gardeners but for all inhabitants of the capital. For this purpose, I conducted a field research accompanied by a number of interviews in the garden allotments. Technomat and Cibulka in Prague. I have gained a lot of informations about life in the garden allotments as well as about the relationship of the respondents to their own gardens. I watched whether and to what extend is the life in the garden allotments influenced by the economic, ecological, social and propert-legal aspects. Research shows that gardeners actually live a non-consumerist way of life and partly resisting market mechanism, but only inside of the garden allotments, not outside. Their environmental friendly behavior is due to external factors rather than internal as personal beliefs. The garden allotments do not have such important role in social terms as it may seem at the first sight, but on the other...
