Nejedlá, Štěpánka ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Zevl, Jiří-Jakub (referee)
This bachelor thesis thematically falls under the topic of mobility biographies.

Since this perspective on traffic behaviour research has been practised abroad for many years, this bachelor's thesis will be based on already obtained results from foreign countries.

The methods used were a retrospective questionnaire, which brought information about the traffic behaviour, both from the present and especially from the past. The retrospective questionnaire was in the online form on social networks and distributed with the help of personal contacts. Ninety-two respondents filled out the questionnaire.

Demographic view on the population of New Zealand in the period 1991-2018 Abstract The objective of this study is to characterize the key events (economic, social and historical), which occurred during the 20th century, that subsequently influenced New Zealand's population development and population structure in the period between 1991-2018. This period was determined based on the data availability and the presumption that the impact of the selected events started to manifest on the population after 1991. To describe the population structure, we used age pyramids, aged-child ratio, young-age dependency ratio, old-age dependency ratio and mean age. For description of demographic processes of fertility, mortality and nuptiality in the studied period, basic indicators were used, which allowed us to fulfil the aim of the thesis. Data for their calculation was taken from the online database of the New Zealand Statistical Office, Infoshare and selected publications. The first part of the work introduces the natural conditions of New Zealand and briefly outlines its historical development. The second part is devoted to the characteristics of the population according to age, religion, ethnicity and education as well as to the selected demographic processes. Based on the studied literature, we identified World War...
