ZAVADILOVÁ, Eva
The aim of this thesis is to describe the fates, sorrows and joys of Czech peasants (and their descendants) who decided to emigrate to the USA between the second half of the 19th century and the First World War, where they left a legacy that persists to these days. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the general history and knowledge of the emigration of Czechs to the USA, its causes and course. Using collected letters, pamphlets and archival records, it then attempts to reconstruct the journeys of emigrants from Bohemia to their new home across the ocean. The work then describes the various problems that the compatriots had to deal with immediately after landing in the United States, on their way to find available land or to build their homes. The thesis also depicts the efforts to create expatriate communities and societies along with the traditions that Czech immigrants brought with them. The second part focuses on a specific town in Minnesota, but also mentions nearby settlements and towns whose names attest to the Czech origins of their founders. The work focuses on the history of New Prague and its surroundings, associations and traditions that are connected to Czech cultural heritage and still play an important role in maintaining the Czech-American identity of the local population. With the help of the informations from local residents, the thesis seeks to capture and then analyse their perception of their Czech origins and their efforts to maintain awareness of Czech culture and language. Finally, the thesis will focus on specific events and festivals in and around New Prague that serve as evidence of the continuing awareness of Czech culture among Americans.

POPELÁKOVÁ, Lenka
The aim of my bachelor thesis was to specify new possibilities and demands causing the stabilization of rural regions, to find new areas, where human resources would contribute to satisfaction of folks with country life. The results of my research, which was realized by questionnaire inquiry in Čkyně and Doudleby, could be resumed into following. All areas, which has been already generally known {--} such as services, infrastructure, employment etc. {--} confirm their importance in stabilization of countryside. There is lack of educational courses or discussions in Čkyně and Doudleby according to the further development and education of country people. The main contribution of my bachelor thesis should have been the findings that connection of culture, traditions and environment together with human relations are valuable for stabilization of the country. Old national customs in Doudleby join people together and improve social relations in the village. If these traditions are the urban entertainment, people will become a stranger to each other as we can see in Čkyně in the small extent. The preservation or renewal of national customs and traditions is important for stabilization of rural regions, people become deeply rooted and it prevents them from leaving the countryside.
