The presented thesis deals with organic farming, organic food production and purchasing behavior at farmers' markets. The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to contribute to the analysis of organic farming by comparing the supply and demand for organic food at the farmers' markets in Beroun and Brandýs nad Labem. The goal of the work is fulfilled with the help of a literature search and a questionnaire survey at the farmers' markets in the mentioned cities. 5 research questions were formulated for the questionnaire survey. These questions were evaluated based on the respondents' answers in the chapter on the conclusion of the research.

Growing genetically modified crops in the world
Herodesová, Adéla ; Jančák, Vít (advisor) ; Eretová, Veronika (referee)
The bachelor thesis analyses the regional differentiation of genetically modified crops' cultivation in each country's territorial breakdown. The thesis defines basic technical terms, biotechnological breeding history, and the classification of genetically modified crops according to the modified traits. Emphasis is placed on national attitudes towards the use of this biotechnology in agriculture and the resulting legislation. It is shown that legislation has a major impact on the cultivation of genetically modified crops. In particular, the thesis compares the legislative approach between the European Union and the USA, which differs significantly. A closer look is devoted to the cultivation of genetically modified crops in Czechia. Selected factors (organic farming, farm size structure, and nutritional deficiencies) that may be related to the cultivation of genetically modified crops in each country are examined based on graphs and maps generated from secondary data. The results are discussed with relevant literature. Keywords: GMO, genetically modified crops, regional differentiation, legislation, agriculture

Food deficit in developing countries: factors of origin, regional differentiation, possible solutions
Ližanová, Iveta ; Jančák, Vít (advisor) ; Milerová Prášková, Dagmar (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with food deficit issues in developing countries. First and foremost, it is dedicated to defining basic concepts that explain the food deficit. It then looks at the range of individual food deficit indicators, at different scale levels. Using graphs and cartograms made from available data, regional differentiation of malnutrition is shown. Based on a literature review, the extent of the food deficit is described, as well as which age and gender groups are most affected and for what reason. For selected factors causing malnutrition in developing countries, their dependence is verified by statistical analysis, namely correlation analysis and calculation of the Pearson and Spearman correlation factors. Finally, the options for addressing the food deficit according to the literary reshuffle are presented. The key words: Hunger, malnutrition, undernourishment, food insecurity, developing countries

Intermunicipal Cooperation in Inner Periphery of Czechia: the Třemšín Microregion
Kopecký, Pavel ; Jančák, Vít (advisor) ; Chromý, Pavel (referee)
The master thesis aims to study at some length the region so called inner periphery. This research work is focused on comparision between theorethical concepts of periphery areas and the actual situation in model microregion Třemšín which extends on the border of three Czech NUTS III regions. Considerable part of the master thesis is dedicated to a discussion about conceptions of peripherness, rural area and rural communities and also about the relation between human and social capital and the development of inner periphery/rural area. Methods contain searching previous information and study of researches done in the context of space polarization, rural development and some sociological researches about human and social capital. The next step is to define some model region suitable to the condition of beeing an example of Czech inner periphery area. Because of the interest in discover how efficient is a cooperation of rural municipalities based on institutional framework, the existing municipal cooperation confederacy Třemšín was appointed. The own research work consist in interviewing mayors of municipalities concerned and posterior analysis of their opinions. The results overcome some of the presumptions about periphery areas in general. They are not more regions of emigration or a higher rate of...

Exploring structural changes of employment in rural Czechia: territorial approach
Čapkovičová, Andrea ; Jančák, Vít (advisor) ; Květoň, Viktor (referee) ; Konečný, Ondřej (referee)
The thesis searches for driving forces behind structural changes of rural employment in the example of Czechia subject to changing rural paradigm and the related question of rural economic viability represented by the employment performance. The research elaborates on the territorial approaches which categorises regions according to their degree of rurality. In addition, the detailed classification is made according to the change of non-agricultural employment in the period 2001-2011 in order to identify dynamic regions which showed performance above national average (leading) and those which lacked behind (lagging). The observations prompt the question why is the performance differentiated. Therefore, the regionally differentiated impact of processes such as deagriculturisation, deindustrialisation and tertiarisation in the period 2001-2011 is analysed by the use of analysis of components (namely shift-share analysis) and multivariate analysis (namely factor and cluster analysis). The thesis aims to provide answers in particular by giving a thorough analysis of how the changing rural paradigm (and regional theories in wider context) conceptualise the driving forces behind employment development in rural areas. The added value is in the analysis of interrelations and correlations of chosen...

Potential of Regional Development of inner Peripheries of Czechia: case study the Příbram Region
Váně, Petr ; Chromý, Pavel (advisor) ; Jančák, Vít (referee)
This thesis discusses issues of inner peripheries of Czechia. Inner periphery is an inland territory which leaves behind its surroundings in a specific way (for example economically). The first part of the thesis discusses selected theoretical and methodological concepts of the spatial polarisation research. In following empirical part, selected theoretical and methodological concepts are apllied to model area of the Příbram region. On the basis of selected socioeconomic and positional characteristics problematic areas are identified. Consequently their development after 1989 is evaluated. In next parts of thesis, selected conditions for the development of four types of capital (natural, man-made, human and social capital) in the identified problematic areas and their relation to the spatial polarisation are evaluated.

Changes of Farming Types during Transition Period: Case Study ORP Kralovice
Eretová, Veronika ; Jančák, Vít (advisor) ; Vojáčková, Eva (referee)
The thesis "Changes of farming types during transition period: case study ORP Kralovice" deals with Czech agriculture and with the complex development, which this branch experienced before and after the year 1989. Its objective is to capture and analyze significant changes of farming types in the case area. At first, the thesis observes the development of agriculture in Czechia before and after 1989.
