Bačová, Veronika ; Tomková, Anna (advisor) ; Štech, Stanislav (referee) ; Krčmářová, Tereza (referee)
The dissertation addresses the issue of primary school teachers in the conditions of inclusive education in the Czech Republic and Finland. The aim of the whole thesis is to create and compare real profiles of Czech and Finnish teachers with an emphasis on finding out what is behind the quality of inclusive education in Finland and how these findings can improve inclusive education and the teaching profession in the Czech context. The key aim is to create a profile of the primary school teacher in inclusive education, i.e. the teacher's conception of the teacher's educational processes, competences and the real conditions that the teacher needs to work in a heterogeneous classroom. In order to achieve the aim, a comparative nature of the work and a qualitative case study design was chosen, where the case is understood as a primary school teacher against the background of inclusive education - the total number of participants is 20 teachers (10 Czech and 10 Finnish). Content and thematic analysis of Czech and foreign sources were chosen as the main methods to secure data, and the findings became the basis for further reflection and the creation of semi-structured interviews and observations. For data processing, the case studies of individual participants were used in the first round of data...

The concept of a wedding tourism business and its application in tourism
TOMKOVÁ, Anna
Events such as weddings are a particularly important sector in the tourism in-dustry. Wedding tourism can be defined as the tourist flows occurring from participati-on in weddings or wedding-related events that are held at a different location from where the wedding couple or their guests live. Destinations and organisations can deve-lop, facilitate and promote events such as weddings to meet multiple goals: to attract tourists and customers, to contribute to general place or business marketing, and to raise the profile of other services they offer. This thesis aimed to create a concept for the use of a community garden for the purposes of wedding tourism and to prepare sui-table material, financial and business collateral for the proposed concept. A literature review identified several factors and trends in the current research on weddings and wedding tourism. However, it is not always clear whether such factors and trends are affected by demographic variables such as age, and experience/attitude regarding ge-tting married. These factors were therefore explored using a questionnaire study with respondents living in the Czech Republic. The results indicated that younger respon-dents preferred using digital sources of information (internet and social media) and wedding planners to research potential venues. The results also indicated that people who had already been married were more likely to rate practical elements such as ve-nue facilities as important when selecting a venue. A structured interview and personal observations were also carried out to identify the community garden's current business practices and goals in regard to wedding tourism. Finally, the findings of the questi-onnaire, interview, and observations were used to create a concept for the use of a community garden for the purposes of wedding tourism and to prepare suitable mate-rial, financial and business collateral for the proposed concept.
