Transformation of European exhibition and fair areas
Štěpánková, Lenka ; Rak,, Milan (referee) ; Boháč,, Ivo (referee) ; Wittmann, Maxmilian (advisor)
Exhibition centres represent a specific type of urban space within the present-day European cities and their current form results from a long development in the past. While exhibition venues are the subject of study from multiple points of view (e.g. economics, urban policy, leisure studies) their spatial quality and urban characteristics stay somewhat aside and a theoretical frame for their all-encompassing description and assessment of their possible impact on the urban development of cities is missing. Comparison of exhibition centres from various European regions and countries is further complicated by the existence of language barriers which have an impact on the accessibility of relevant and comparable data. The thesis submits information about the previous and current form of European exhibition centres and the processes that shaped their form are described in detail. The FFF theory proposed by the author herself is employed to analyse the relation between form, function and financial subjects with the aim to arrive at conclusions which could be applied within the current conditions in the Czech Republic. Summarized knowledge about European exhibition centres and venues helps to understand the role they play within the cities and the necessity to protect their historical value upon future transformations. It is also needed to predict their possible further development and unfold their urban potential.

Charakteristiky evropských veletržních areálů
Štěpánková, Lenka
Large exhibition centres in European cities represent a specific type of urban space with their own unique parameters. Whilst formal parameters deal with scale and form, functional parameters pertain mainly to logistics and the operating of the venue. In this paper, other important parameters are included with those already referenced. Financial parameters such as the total exhibition area available, total build up area and total venue area are combined. The results speak about a venues capacity or their spatial potential and can be used to predict the need for further transformation or relocation of the certain venue in the future.

Geoprostorová analýza veletržních areálů
Štěpánková, Lenka
The European exhibition centres may show some unique features but they also have many things in common. Their typical qualities can be identified using the spatial analysis. The metod described in this paper is devised to exploit the data available on internet and to create the visual output based on the data. Such analysis can be used to examine the size and structure of the venues as well as their position within the cities. The possible further use of the metod in urban research is indicated eventually.
