Library as Gendered Space
Vinická, Karolína ; Sokolová, Věra (advisor) ; Jiroutová Kynčlová, Tereza (referee)
In my dissertation I will discuss the gender analyses of layout in the institution, the Prague Central Library. The Central Library is by definition a public space which should be accessible to all who are interested in literature and reading. I will be concerned with how the Central Library works with the concept of public space (explicitly and implicitly), how indoor spaces are constructed and allocated in selected library branches, with how this organization reflects or does not reflect normative gender stereotypes of or ideas about readers, and other intersectional gender consequences. My research will primarily be focused on the exploration of the placing of genres in the space and the gender aspect of visitors preferences when choosing literature. I will deal with choices of setting of library branches and other services they offer, in specific locations. Keywords Gender, Space, Prague Central Library, library, feminism, feminist geography

Klingorová, Kamila
The influence of religion on the status of women in selected countries The diploma thesis comes from theoretical concepts of feminist geography, geography of religion and from the research of gender inequalities.

The key research topic for this thesis is how extensive influence the religion has on the status of woman in the society. Based on quantitative analysis of data from 41 chosen states of the world, the thesis endeavours to judge the impact of religion on the status of women in terms of social, political and economical level. One of the premises of the thesis is a presumption, that the status of women is the best in society where the majority of population is without religion, then in Christian society, Buddhist and Hinduism society and the worst in Muslim society. Based on results of statistical analysis it may be stated, that involvement of women in the public sphere has a positive impact on the socio-economical development of the state.
