Petýrek, Karel ; Čábelka, Miroslav (advisor) ; Štych, Přemysl (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to create a web application of the landscape transformation in and around the Malešice-Hostivař industrial area. Further objectives are to evaluate the evolution of land use in the study area and to visualize its structure in 1841, 1945, 1966, 1989 and 2022. The theoretical part presents the fundamental bases, methods and data sources which can be used to evaluate the evolution of landscape. An important part of the paper are physical-geographical and socio-economic characteristics and a description of historical development of the area, focusing on individual settlements and the industrial zone. The practical part focuses on land use analysis, maps creation and web application. Results of the land use analysis are summarised in chapter seven of the thesis. The web application presents the created land use maps along with additional photographs and texts. Key words: landscape transformation, land use, Malešice-Hostivař industrial area, ArcGIS Online

Historical cultural landscape of the deserted settlements in the Kaplice region
Baramová, Magdalena
The open landscape of the former district of Kaplice, situated between the Bohemian Forest and Gratzen Mountains on the Czech-Austrian border, has stimulated economic and cultural exchange between the two territories since prehistoric times. From the second half of the 13th century until the events after the Second World War, the region was predominantly inhabited by German-speaking population, but after the displacement the area underwent a turbulent development. Within a few years, socio-demographic changes have got imprinted in the landscape, and today several overlapping phenomena can be observed, which together reflect the process of transformation of the area. At the beginning of the 1950s, many settlements disappeared as a result of under-population and the construction of the Iron Curtain. Nevertheless, there are still remains of the use of the landscape by its former inhabitants, especially in the form of relics of buildings, religious architecture, roads, hedgerows, landscaping, waterworks and other traces. The securing of the national border has brought a further transformation of the landscape, which has had a devastating effect on the cultural heritage, but on the other hand it has helped to develop natural communities that are now protected. Even after the fall of communism, the region has not reached the population of the pre-war period, so the absence of settlement continues to give the area a unique genius loci. However, the cultural and historical values of the landscape are not yet protected on a basis, therefore the paper seeks to introduce the values and emphasises the need to protect them.
