Boháčová, Denisa ; Erben, Adam (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
This thesis is solving the design of a sustainable urban structure of the 21st century in Brno, in the area of Kasárna in Černá pole. The thesis is trying to create a neighborhood that would serve not only to the needs of the millennials, but of every generation. It is trying to build a city for the people. I am designing the new development as a lively, diverse and flexible neighborhood which considers the history of the area. I am conserving its rectangular shape in the urban footprint. I am designing a city with clearly defined public spaces. I am opening the neighborhood to the public and therefor allow it to newly connect with neighboring districts. The goal of the design is to create a modern neighborhood that will function as a new subcenter of the city of Brno.

Návrh založení arboreta
Hybler, Stanislav
The diploma thesis deals with the issue of arboretums and especially their creation. The author focuses mainly on the layout of these gardens in terms of landscape architecture. The problem nowadays is that gardens don‘t initially have some kind of uniform concept, on the basis of which the gardens would be gradually realised. The literary research deals with the importance, history, current situation and possibilities of using arboretums. The work also deals with the possibilities of creating these gardens. For example, how to fulfill as efficiently as possible several of the mission of gardens of a given type. The subsequent analysis of Czech and foreign realizations of these gardens was intended to describe their mission and define the compositional principles of the given premises. On the basis of literary research and analysis of reference realizations, theoretical basis for the creation of arboretums was established. This should serve as a general tool in the process of designing these units. On the basis of previous findings, a proposal for an arboretum has been developed for the study phase. The area addressed was first thoroughly analyzed, then a concept was created and finally a design of the whole premises was drawn up with detailed development of some segments.

Legal regulation of the operation of zoological and botanical gardens
Leš, Adam ; Damohorský, Milan (advisor) ; Derlich, Stanislav (referee)
Legal regulation of the operation of zoological and botanical gardens This thesis details the current state of the legal regulation of the operation of zoological and botanical gardens. Given the ever more pressing need to preserve the biodiversity of the natural environment, the role of zoological and botanical gardens is increasingly coming to the fore. The appropriate level of regulation should enable the operators of these facilities to make the most effective contribution to the conservation of endangered flora and fauna, subject to compliance with all legal conditions. Zoological and botanical gardens are significantly involved in ex-situ species conservation, i.e. outside the natural habitats of species, in particular by breeding endangered species in the most natural environment possible or by cultivating endangered plant species in order to protect the gene pool, and in-situ species conservation, i.e. directly in their natural habitat, by returning bred and reared endangered individuals back to the wild. The first part of the thesis provides the basic historical, social and conservation context of the existence of zoological and botanical gardens, and also introduces the most important organisations and associations that contribute in various ways to the achievement of the goals of...

Zoological and botanical gardens within their legal framework
Mouchová, Pavlína ; Damohorský, Milan (advisor) ; Derlich, Stanislav (referee)
Zoological and botanical gardens within their legal framework Zoological and botanical gardens date back to antiquity. Their long evolution has seen the relative importance of their functions change. Nowadays, zoological and botanical gardens fulfil a number of significant roles, with their contribution to endangered species protection and biodiversity conversation gradually having gained prominence. With the natural habitats of wild flora and fauna disappearing, it is zoological and botanical gardens that provide pro- tection by means of ex situ conversation, i.e., outside the natural habitat of these organisms. In the Czech Republic, zoos operate within a legal framework that consists primarily of Act No. 162/2003 Coll. on zoo regulation and amended acts, which implements the Coun- cil Directive 1999/22/EC of 29 March 1999 relating to the keeping of wild animals in zoos. The Act has introduced a licensing requirement for zoological gardens. It stipulates that zoos shall only be operated by a holder of a valid license granted in accordance with this Act by the Czech Ministry of the Environment. These days, there is a total of twenty-eight zoological gardens with a valid license. Unlike zoos, botanical gardens in the Czech Republic are, unfortunately, not regulated by a specific law. They operate...

Marešová, Renata ; Andreska, Jan (advisor) ; Hanel, Lubomír (referee)
TITLE: The Bečovská Botanical Garden as a Space for Education of Nursery Schools Children and Pupils of Elementary Schools ABSTRACT: The thesis titled The Bečovská Botanical Garden as a Space for Education of Nursery Schools Children and Pupils of Elementary Schools focuses on the use of this place for various forms of teaching and learning. I focused on the opportunity for tours and educational programs for natural history and botany in elementary school and kindergarten in the natural environment of the beautiful West Bohemian town in the restored botanical garden. In this work was carried out a short questionnaire survey amongst teachers who have visited Bečov's botanical garden with their students. Based on the processing of the questionnaire survey, I found out what would be appropriate to add to the educational tutorials and I created a worksheet and suggested activities that could be incorporated into various educational programs. I found out what options to various naturalistic activities the Bečov's botanical garden provides, where the teachers and students who have visited it are from, whether the teachers are satisfied with its teaching programs and whether the visit helped to create or consolidate respect for nature (for plants, animals, forests, lakes, meadow) and understanding the study that...

Botanical garden of Czech Republic selected for teaching process
Nováková, Eliška ; Rajsiglová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Mourek, Jan (referee)
Presented thesis is focused on selected botanical gardens in the Czech Republic and their benefits for schools and school teaching. Today, botanical gardens are frequently visited for educational purposes and also for relaxation of people. It is important that teachers know that teaching is not possible to realize only in the school environment. Botanical gardens are an ideal place to make practical biological excursions. According to FEP, it is necessary to teach botany in school. It is important that students know how the plant looks, in which community plant lives and which benefits it has for humans. The expected outcomes mentioned above are important and botanical gardens help with their fulfilling. In my thesis I describe the possibilities that are offered and realized by botanical gardens for school excursions.

This bachelor thesis covers the history as well as the current state of the Bečovská Botanical Garden. It concisely presents natural sciences and the possibility of incorporating field trips and educational programmes into elementary school education. The theoretical part also describes the educational activities offered by the Bečovská Botanical Garden. The following chapters cover the process of creating such educational activities as well as the activity sheets. In Chapter 5, QR codes are introduced, including their history and their use in non-education fields. Finally, QR codes in education are described in connection with the effort to individualize the education processes. The practical part of this thesis focusses on the education programme created by the author for the lower-secondary school pupils as the Botanical Garden does not offer a programme for this age group. The created programme is based on using QR codes when exploring the Bečovská Botanical Garden. It consolidates and expands the pupils' knowledge and puts the newly acquired skills into practice. The programme also requires demonstrating observation skills and the ability to use a map to navigate an unknown area. The activity sheets, which are part of the appendix, have been created to complement the programme. The education...
