Spatio-temporal aspects of emerging "edge cities" in Prague metropolitan region
Beneš, Jan ; Pospíšilová, Lucie (advisor) ; Novák, Jakub (referee)
The phenomenon edge city has its roots in U.S. metropolitan areas. Similar urban formations currently also appear in other developed cities. Transformations in post-socialist cities starting in early 90th caused the emergence of new socio-spatial formations in suburban area of Prague metropolitan area. The case study of commercial zone Čestlice-Průhonice shows the newly created cluster of advanced services in Prague suburban area resulting in high concentration of daily population and vehicles. The main aim of this study is to uncover the time dimension of outer-spatial relations of the commercial zone by analyzing the daily rhythm of transportation. The method of direct observation of passing vehicles and its registration numbers is used. Furthermore, it has been proved that the commercial area has a regional significance. In this thesis, new socio-spacial formations in suburban fringe of Prague are ilustrated as an important subject for further geographic research.

City of Pardubice and the development of suburban communities
Hyláková, Aneta ; Kadeřábková, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Khendriche Trhlínová, Zuzana (referee)
In my thesis I would like to concentrate on suburban zones of Pardubice and their relation to resident centre. The town of Pardubice, where I live, contains a positive attitude towards expansion of housing development and expandation of suburban zones. The objective of my work is the investigation of this sphere from several points. I would concentrate on inland and abroad investors, who situate their business subjects into these zones. Also I would study flowing of inhabitants structure, migration trends and their relation to resident centre. Main influence on territory expansion plays Army airport (it turns into civil airport), presence of railway speed corridor and completion of speedway D11 from Hradec Králové to Prague. Policy of territorial development talks about building up river port on the river Elbe in Pardubice. Not least I would solve an influence of territorial enlarging of the town on original municipalitites and effects which this activity brings. The main direction of my work will be focusing on suburban zones, their positive and negative consequences for the town of Pardubice.
