Airbnb phenomenon as a determinant of changes of spatial patterns of tourism in Prague compared to Vienna and Berlin
Šavrdová, Judita ; Marianovská, Veronika (advisor) ; Špačková, Petra (referee)
This thesis deals with an Airbnb phenomenon and its influence on change of spatial patterns of tourism. Airbnb is dynamically growing in recent years and it is mostly concentrated in city centres which can have many negative impacts. In spite of that there are few researches focused on impacts of Airbnb in Prague. The object of this thesis is to find how Airbnb initiates change of spatial patterns of tourism in Prague compared to Vienna and Berlin. The thesis examines spatial distribution of Airbnb and compares it with hotels and other accommodation facilities. Quantitative analysis of secondary data which are provided by independent server Inside Airbnb and data from national or municipal statistical offices is used. Airbnb concentrates itself mostly in city center of all three cities and it is most visible in Prague. Airbnb is also most commercialized in Prague, especially in its city centre. Compared to Vienna and Berlin there were not observed any significant changes of spatial patterns of tourism in Prague.
Analysis bike-sharing usability in the capital city Prague
Steinbachová, Dominika ; Louda, Jiří (advisor) ; Sunega, Petr (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse a bike-sharing in Prague, especially its usability and future potential. The thesis answers questions whether a bike-sharing can prosper in Prague and if so whether it can contribute to the solution of a problematic traffic situation. In a theoretical part of the thesis there are firstly described concepts of economics theories which are closely related with the concept of bike-sharing. The thesis also characterises fields of the collaborative economy, collaborative consumption and the model of sharing economy. There are introduced definitions of basic concepts and principles on which the sharing economy is based. In the beginning of the practical part it is performed a comparison of chosen cities from all around the world in which the bike-sharing is operated. Individual cities are compared based on collected statistical data and by DEA models. In an analysis of the potential of the bike -sharing in Prague it is performed a quantitative comparison of alternative transport options - bike, car and public transport. Using the collected data and several hypotheses, the means and variances (which can also play in significant role when selecting the optimal transport option) are compared. Outputs of these analyses are appropriately confronted with economic costs of alternatives and the result is a complex insight into the problem of choosing a travel option. The analysis shows that the bike-sharing may be more favourable than a public transportation under certain conditions. Analysis shows that we cannot expect such an expansion of bike-sharing, which can be seen lately in some cities abroad. It can be supposed that if Rekola or another subject minimalized current weaknesses, the bike-sharing in Prague may experience a significant popularity and growth. As regards a potential of the bike-sharing to contribute to solve the traffic load in Prague it can be expected almost zero effect. Even in cities where the bike-sharing is fully developed it forms maximally unit's percent of traffic mix. Its influence in Prague will probably never be noticeable.
