The differences in place perception: conditionings and links in time and space
Skála, Tomáš ; Chromý, Pavel (advisor) ; Šantrůčková, Markéta (referee)
This thesis deals with the topic of place as one of the most important concepts of human geography. The term place is examined from the perspective of social constructivism. In the first part the thesis focuses on the term place, place perception, space perception and place identity. Those and other important terms are discussed based on scholar literature considering the terms. In the second part of this thesis changes of place identity are analyzed using the example of Zbuzany, a suburban village of Prague with its space dynamically grounds. Old maps and aerial photos are used for observation of the changes within the area. Also, the main phases of space development are defined. The third part of this thesis uncovers the symbolic space using semi-structured interviews conducted with six respondents from three age groups representing different generations. The interviews were analyzed and the differences in sense of place and space among generations were proved.

Residential satisfaction of households in tenement houses in localities of Prague - the role of civic amenities
Bursa, Otakar
Residential satisfaction belongs to important elements of human's satisfaction with life. It is created by the unique set of different components to which the accessibility and quality of civic amenities in a neighbourhood may also be included. Nevertheless, the importance of this factor used to be underestimated and the real connexion between residential satisfaction and the presence of civic amenities has not come out so far (Swindell, Kelly 2005). Therefore, the diploma thesis focuses on the qualitative- analytical research of residential satisfaction in two differently served Prague's localities with the aim to deepen the current knowledge of this issue. The results show that the presence of civic amenities in the neighbourhood has a significant effect in creating residential satisfaction which is comparable to the quality of housing and neighbourhood features. However, this relationship is partly influenced by the assigned importance of services' presence that especially varies according to the locality type (housing estate or suburban) and the position of household in a life cycle. Keywords: residential satisfaction, civic amenities, Prague, housing estate, suburb

Crime in Suburbs: Case Study in the Municipality Sulice
Hrbková, Jana ; Temelová, Jana (advisor) ; Jíchová, Jana (referee)
The aim of this work is to determine the perception of crime and feeling of security people who live in the new development in the village Sulice, which is located in suburb of Prague. In this village happened in the past and even now there is a large extent to the process of suburbanization. During the last twenty one years they have moved in to the family home nearly a thousand new residents. And therefore is an option that this suburban location is an attractive target for the perpetrators of property crime. In the village Sulice structured interviews were conducted with local residents and the mayor and deputy mayor. Based on structured interviews, practical part of the thesis is made. Research aims to determine what type of crime, people in the village Sulice most worried about and why. The work focuses on the security measures taken against the perpetrators. The results showed that almost all of respondents feel safe in the village, although half of all respondents had a negative experience with a local crime. Respondents are most worried about property crime. The most effective security measures are dogs and mainly supervision of family members and neighbours. Keywords: Suburbium, property crime, a feeling of safety, experience with crime, protective security measures

Assessment of Transportation Accessibility in Prague's Suburban Areas
Marčev, David ; Růžička, Miroslav (advisor) ; Petr, Petr (referee)
This doctoral thesis seeks to evaluate the accessibility of the centre of the capital city Prague by people commuting from the suburbs on a daily basis using different types of transport and the related energy performance of these differing types of vehicle. The goal of this academic work is to propose a methodology for measuring transport accessibility by utilising energy efficiency as benchmark. On the basis of energy requirements, obtained by measurements taken during journeys both by car and bus, a method of calculating the energy demands of the two modes of transport was derived. This proposed method of measurement was then applied to journeys from selected suburbs and the results were compared. A part of this work was to propose an "energy information label" whose goal is to inform residents about the energy requirements of the various types of transport when used for their daily commute from the suburbs to the city core. It was verified that the performance of the measured units of energy required are significantly affected by another factor. The main benefit of this work is the proposal of a methodology for the acquisition and measurement of the energy performance during the populations daily commute. Another benefit is the proposal to implement an "energy information label" which serves to inform the population about the energy performance when commuting to their place of work in the city core.
