Svoboda, Peter ; Ouředníček, Martin (advisor) ; Szczyrba, Zdeněk (referee) ; Květoň, Viktor (referee)
Flexibility and localization of work in Czechia 1991-2011: analysis of the spatial aspects The working process, its arrangement and its consequences have been a crucial part of a development of society in space. Work as a significant factor forming the space gets into the interest of social geography, at least until the Industrial Revolution, which led to a spatial mismatch between a place of residence and a place of work. The process of social transformation, together with the macroeconomic changes affecting post-socialist countries and the mass development of mobile information and communication technologies in the post- revolutionary period, stimulated a significant change in the issues of job localization and the differentiation of forms of work that became less embedded in the sense of temporal, spatial and functional meanings. This transformation led to irregularity of spatial movements associated with commuting to work on the one hand and its delocalization, or disappearance from physical space, and moving to the virtual space on the other. Hence, commuting to work and the relationship between home and work place is one of the crucial topics of Albertov's social geography. However, insufficient attention in domestic literature has been paid to the issue of the unembedded types of work. The...

Effectiveness of Cycling Transport Infrastructure Investment in Regional Development. Region Orlicko-Třebovsko Case Study.
Boháč, Ondřej ; Blažek, Jiří (advisor) ; Květoň, Viktor (referee)
This paper evaluates the benefits of investments in cycling infrastructure for regional development. The case study deals with socio-economic impacts of cycling transport infrastructure built for the Orlicko-Třebovsko region. The main thesis does not assume profitability of such investments in socio-economic realm of the region. Overall societal benefit has been assessed through the cost-benefit analysis. Individual elements of the analysis are focused on short-term, long-term, direct and indirect effects for the development of the region. The benefits are to be found in connection with implementation, management and operation of the project as well as transport sector, services sector and recreation. Specific positive effects take mainly the form of business sales, employment and savings for the population. The analysis has taken note of certain positive effect that is nevertheless economically inadequate to the amount of initial investment. Therefore in this case cycling transport infrastructure proved to be ineffective tool of regional development.

The impacts of metro on property prices: an example of the new stations in Prague
Pejřil, Kryštof ; Květoň, Viktor (advisor) ; Boháč, Ondřej (referee)
The objective ot this diploma thesis is to examine the impacts of the metro line extension on residential property prices in the adjacent areas of Bořislavka, Nádraží Veleslavín and Petřiny station. One of the positive externalities of the improved public transport accessibility is higher attractivity of the localities, which results in the property prices uplift. According to the works from abroad the features of such uplift differ case by case. Statistical modelling analyses having been conducted so far carried the ambiguous results and that is why both quantitative and qualitative research methods are used in this work and at the same time the emphasis is given to the comparison of both approaches and their benefits. The borderline of the impact of metro on property prices was put 800-1000 m far from the stations. This impact is studied in the context of the other pricing factors in terms of geographical location. The results indicate significant, though no decisive impact of metro stations on property prices. At the same time the need for the careful handling with the locally relevant factors is emphasised as they influence the final prices. In the conclusion the methodical approach considered by the author as the optimal with respect to the Prague's context and particularities is outlined....

The competitiveness of public transport on example of the Pardubice Region
Hrbek, Martin ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Květoň, Viktor (referee)
The competitiveness of public transport on example of the Pardubice Region Abstract This diploma thesis is devoted to the competitiveness of public transport in the municipalities of the Pardubice Region. Competitiveness is understood mainly in terms of the price difference between travel time and cost of public and individual car transport, and also in terms of the real demand in the municipalities, thus the share of commuting by public transport. Other parameters of mode choice, that is understood as the main indicator of competitiveness, is the number of public transport lines and automobilization. The main objective of this work is to determine how public transportation depends on the other transport characteristics of municipalities. To select significant variables, multiple linear regression analysis was used. After that, geographically weighted regression was applied in order to explain the share of commuting from municipalities. Most data originate in public databases (The Register of vehicles of Department of Transport, population census, digital geographic databases ArcČR and CEDA) and web portals (OREDO, IDOS), part of the data was obtained within questionnaire survey in selected municipalities. An expected negative relationship between the degree of automobilization and the number of public...

Commuting to work by transport mode choice: changes in the main transport modes, depending on a distance on the example of two regional capitals in 2001 and 2011
Petráš, Marek ; Květoň, Viktor (advisor) ; Jaroš, Václav (referee)
The main goal of this work is to evaluate changing significance of main travel modes in two regional capitals between two censuses. The work is based on 2001 and 2011 censuses results. The work is also based on assumption, that there has been a change in travel mode choice within commuting to work due to economic boom (2003-2008) and economic crisis (2008-2010) in the Czech Republic. It means especially growing role of individual automobile travel and declining importance of public transport. The research also focuses on changes of distances, in which the travel modes are mainly used. The basic statistical and cartographic methods are used for the evaluation. The results confirm growing importance of automobile travel at expense of other means of transport, especially bus travel. Both cities are characterised by an importance of railway travel higher than nationwide average. The railway travel maintains its importance especially along the main railway corridors. The average distance of travel has grown in all evaluated means of transport. Despite that, all means of transport achieve in 2011 their maximum share in same distance categories as they did in 2001.

Analysis of Pardubice micro-region's transport service
Staněk, Jan ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Květoň, Viktor (referee)
Diploma thesis provides a comprehensive viewpoint at transport services in the Pardubice region, both in terms of public transport supply and demand from people at it. One of the key objectives of this work is to find the influence of characteristics on the selection of mode of transport used by the people to get to work and school at the municipal level. In addition to analysis based on secondary data there is a part of this thesis, which evaluates questionnaire study, particularly in relation to the previous analysis. This comparison of two views, first based on objective statistics data and second based on the subjective view of the reference population of the region, is one of the main values of this study.

Spatial differentiation of transport supply in Czechia: conditional factors and transport interactions
Květoň, Viktor ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Seidenglanz, Daniel (referee) ; Horňák, Marcel (referee)
Viktor Květoň: Územní diferenciace dopravních příležitostí v Česku: podmiňující faktory a dopravní interakce Abstrakt Pro současnou dopravní geografii je typický (stejně jako pro sociální geografii jako celek) velký rozsah řešených výzkumů (akademických i komerčních) a současně pluralita metodologických přístupů. Jedním z aktuálních témat je i studium a hodnocení podmiňujících faktorů či determinantů dopravní nabídky (ve smyslu vybavení obyvatel automobily i dostupnost veřejné dopravy), které jsou v zahraniční literatuře velmi akcentovaným tématem výzkumu a staly se hlavním tématem předkládané dizertační práce. Faktory a mechanismy dopravních příležitostí byly hodnoceny v dizertační práci na příkladu Česka. Rozlišení a analýza hlavních podmiňujících faktorů dopravních příležitostí bylo zcela elementární, avšak pouze prvotní fází systematického dopravního výzkumu. Druhou úrovní bylo hodnocení dopravních kontaktů mezi nejvýznamnějšími středisky osídlení, které úzce souvisí se studiem prostorových interakcí. Předkládaná dizertační práce je souhrnem výstupů empirických hodnocení výše naznačených témat, která byla řešena během doktorského studia. Zabývá se tedy zejména podmiňujícími faktory územních nerovnoměrností dopravní nabídky v Česku a interakcemi v systému osídlení. Ačkoliv se jedná povahou o empirické...
