Baborová, Hana ; Rynda, Ivan (advisor) ; Novotná, Hedvika (referee)
Introduced diploma thesis deals with the research of the attitudes of individuals affected by the issue of wolfs returning to the National Park. Opinions were obtained through interviews and questionnaire survey. Results were also compared with previous research called Transboundary Socio-economic Monitoring Scheme in the and Bavarian Forest Mts. which also deals in part with the issue of the wolf. The work thus describes the development of public attitude over time. The aim of the work is to provide insight into local issues, describe the attitudes of individuals and define the factors that affect different views. The theoretical part describes the studied area and the beast, as well as its impact on the landscape, biodiversity and man. The practical part focuses on the specific attitudes of stakeholders, from which it derives hypotheses for the questionnaire survey. In conclusion I have evaluated the outlined goals of the work using combinations of qualitative and quantitative methods. Key words National park Gray wolf, return of the canine, view of acters, changes of perception

The issue of Ips typographus in the National park Šumava ?application into geographical education
Faflák, Jiří ; Matějček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Král, Luboš (referee)
The issue of Ips typographus in the National park Šumava - application into geographical education Abstract The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of Ips typographus with an emphasis on the possible ways of solving the outbreaks of its population in the National Park of Šumava. This work is also concerned with the application of articles dealing with this problem into geographical education. The outbreaks caused by the Spruce Bark Beetle are a long-term problem typical for non-native spruce monocultures that have replaced, not only in Šumava, the native mixed forests. The opinions on how to approach this matter differ a lot and it is quite hard to assess their objectivity. The method of active reading proved to be ideal when including this topic into geographical education. Active reading of texts in the geographical lessons helps students to develop critical thinking and to shape their individual opinion. The set of articles presented in this thesis encompassing various insights on how to solve the Spruce Bark Beetle outbreaks in Šumava will help the teacher in developing the above mentioned students' skills. Articles are divided into three separate groups according to the solution they propose. A CD included in this work contains selected articles. Teachers have the option to work with the articles and...

Shaping of Students' Attitudes in Geographical Education - The Issue of Ips Typographus Outbreaks
Faflák, Jiří ; Matějček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hanus, Martin (referee)
Shaping of students' attitudes in geographical education - the issue of Ips typographus outbreaks Abstract The diploma thesis deals with shaping the students' attitudes by utilising various texts during the geography classes. This experiment is shown on particular problem of Spruce Bark Beetle in the National Park of Šumava. There are two main streams towards this issue of Spruce Bark Beetle-one of them promotes the idea of incorporating the human intervention, while reducing the disaster, the other follows the opposite attitude towards the outbreak of the Spruce Bark Beetle, and that is not to intervene at all and to leave the destructed vegetation to regenerate. The backbone of the thesis is represented by a survey that aims at finding attitudes towards the problem mentioned above. Moreover, the survey also questions the way the attitudes change depending on critical reading of distinctive texts. Two main questions are posed in this research. The results are graphically depicted and commented upon in the thesis. The research shows the extent to which it is possible to influence the students' opinion utilising quality study texts. Key words: Spruce Bark Beetle (Ips typographus), National park Šumava, Spruce Bark Beetle outbreak, geographical education, critical thinking, active reading, shaping of attitudes

Development end perspectives of attendance of two peat bogs (Chalupská a Jezerní slať) in Šumava National Park
DUTKA, Ladislav
Peat bogs of the Šumava National Park are very valuable biotopes with an occurrence of the specific flora and fauna, including glacial relicts. These localities are also very attractive for tourists, so it is important to find the reasonable compromise between an attendance and a nature protection. The study is dealing with the development of touristic attendance of two peat bogs from 2010 to 2012 and enlarges my bachelor?s work (Comparison of attendance of two peat bogs (Chalupská a Jezerní slať) in Šumava National Park). The work is divided into two parts. The first, theoretical part, includes a literary review about the character of the Šumava?s peat bogs and the tourism in those localities. A practical part monitors the attendance of the peat bogs and analyses the research via questionnaire, focused on the specifics of the tourists, their priorities during visit of the peat bogs and transport to those localities. The research was connected to bachelor?s work ? there were also 5 terms of field monitoring, the dates in 2012 were close to the dates in 2010 and the number of the panelled questionnaires was the same, 200. So the results of both years could be easily compared. It was found that the number of peat bogs? visitors increases. There were 1438 visitors on Jezerní slať and 1106 on Chalupská slat peat bog. Jezerní slať was more visited than Chalupská slať in both 2010 and 2012. Most of the visitors came by bicycle, but the number of visitors who came by bus was increased. Huge increase was found in number of dogs, which was really surprising. The visitors of Jezerní slať more often stayed in camping sites than in 2010. The problem of possible development and perspectives of investigated peat bogs is also outlined in the end of the work.

Influence of timber harvestings on forest ecosystems in Šumava National Park.
VOKÁČ, Otakar
The consequence of the differentiation of a care of forest ecosystems in NP Šumava is the existence of localities where timber harvesting causes damage to forest ecosystem. One of the most affected ecosystems is the soil ecosystem. The surface is usually disrupted by numbers of passing over the same path the machines. Forwarders are the harvesting machineries that execute the largest number of passes in the forest. The aim of the diploma work is to gain and analyse data dealing with harvesting technologies, and to evaluate their impact on soil ecosystems. The impact was determinate from measuring of the recessing of the track in the surface, of the soil compaction and of the soil sampling for determination of an amount of the water in the soil. The data were measured in different selected localities in NP Šumava. The negative influences of the harvesting technologies were defined for both {--} water and air regime of soil. Recommendation for reduction of negative consequences of the harvesting on soil are parts of diploma work as well.

Comparison of attendance of two peat bogs (Chalupská a Jezerní slať) in Šumava National Park
DUTKA, Ladislav
Peat bogs of the Šumava National Park are very valuable biotopes with an occurrence of the specific flora and fauna, including glacial relicts. But these localities are also very attractive for tourists, so it is important to find the reasonable compromise between an attendance and a nature protection. The study is dealing with the touristic attendance of two peat bogs ? Chalupská and Jezerní slať. The work is divided into two parts. The first, theoretical part, include a literary review about the character, history and use of these peat bogs. A practical part monitors the attendance of the peat bogs and analyses the research via questionnaire, focused on the comparison of Chalupská and Jezerní slať popularity among tourists. During five days of the research, it was found that Chalupská slať is not more popular than Jezerní. Mostly Czech tourists visited both peat bogs, they consider information boards as contributing, though most of them do not read all the information. Most of the visitors came by bicycle, stayed for a longer vacation (more than 7 days) and preferred guest houses accommodation to camping sites. The problem of a sustainability of these localities attendance is also outlined.
