Detection of the border between North and South Europe by using mental maps
ŠTEMBERK, Martin
The bachelor thesis deals with the detection of the borders of North and South Europe by using mental maps. The whole elaboration was created with the participation of nine European countries, which represent Central, Western and Eastern Europe. Altogether, the research involves more than 300 respondents who visit European universities in selected countries. Various display variants, such as line or polygon, were later used to work with mental maps. The work also deals with the centre of Europe and the dominant elements of creating mental maps. The data were processed via ArcGis Pro. The work aims to analyze the results, compare the individual lines and create the borders of North and South Europe. Finally, it responds to the results that are delived from the practical part of the work.

Detection of the Border between West and East Europe by using Mental Maps
ZAJÍČKOVÁ, Aneta
The bachelor´s thesis deals with the topics of European duality and the subconscious perception of this phenomen by students of geography from selected European coutries. The aim of the thesis is to discover, where respondents, in the most cases university student of geography, from selected European countries define the border of duality by using mental maps. Another goal is the subsequent comparison of individual national perspectives. The research is focused mainly on Central European countries, of which the survey took place in Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary. Part of the research took place before of the creation of this bachelor´s thesis and the author of this research RNDr. et PhDr. Aleš Nováček, Ph. D. provided data for this thesis. Another part of the research is a part of this thesis. Results are analysed in the analytical and synthetic part. In the analytical part of the thesis is a space for individual national views separately, in the synthetic part are then compared national views and the similarities and differences between nationals views are identified and interpreted.

Cultural Aspects of Cartographic Creation: Use of Mental Maps in Cross-cultural Research
Bláha, Jan Daniel ; Soukup, Martin (advisor) ; Soukup, Václav (referee)
Cultural Aspects of Cartographic Creation: Use of Mental Maps in Cross-cultural Research Abstract: Diploma thesis deals with study of interdisciplinary issue of cultural aspects of cartographic creation. The first part of the work consists of theoretical introduction dealing with the map con- tent, map stylistics and map language, in which maps show the greatest cultural differences. The map figures here in a role of the image of reality and visual manifestation of culture. The analogy between a map and a classical language (linguistic anthropology) and the analogy between early maps and primitive cultures' maps are described. Beside the language, as determinants of the human spatial perception and other categories related to the map creation could be mentioned the environment, the experiences and the society, in which man lives. Several examples of so- called cultural map styles, especially from Australia and Oceania, are introduced as well. In the methodical part of the work in connection with cultural-anthropological research a method of cognitive maps, respectively mental maps of map users and map makers is discussed in detail. Just these maps are suitable to explore the cultural particularities of cartographic creation. The application part of the work presents the results of field research of mental...

Assessment of mental maps in GIS
Kynčlová, Martina ; Hudeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bláha, Jan Daniel (referee)
This work deals with the possibilities of assessments of mental maps using GIS tools. The main goal is to create a collection of methods to evaluate positioning and relative accuracy of mental maps. The method principles are based on methods of GIS. The emphasis is on maximum versatility and automation the assessment procedure. For all proposed methods there are further discussed the advantages and disadvantages. First part of this work deals with the theme of mental maps, followed by a brief introduction to GIS and their use in the field mental maps. The main part is devoted to the description and practical examples of evaluation methods. At the conclusion there is a discussion of the proposed methods and the appropriateness of use GIS at this issue in general. This work was created under the project No. 26609 called "Mental Maps: Object and Device for Assessment" supported by the Grant Agency of Charles University.

Holá, Veronika ; Pavelka, Radim (advisor) ; Smolík, Petr (referee)
Title: Methodic of selected judo techniques for younger school age children. Objectives: The aim of the thesis is to build visual material, which has the form of mental maps, selected technic in judo for beginner's athletes during the younger school age. Mental maps will be formed in conjunction with each other in a successful design, failed design, or in individual combinations. Techniques will be selected on the basis of the Testing Regulations of the Czech Judo Association. Methods: The collection of knowledge was carried out by a literature search, which deals with the topic of Juda and the chosen age category. Another reason for choosing the suitability of these techniques is the direct link to the judo test rule, which is given by Czech judo association. Keywords: judo, a younger school age, methods technique, mental maps, combination

Perception of space in Prague district Holešovice through mental maps of residents and other individuals
Hofierková, Soňa ; Bláha, Jan Daniel (advisor) ; Žáková, Zuzana (referee)
This work deals with the change of a space perception depending on the relationship between that space and respondents. The main goal is to determine how the orientation of respondents is changed in an unfamiliar area in comparison with the familiar area. Secondary goal examines how these responses are changed according to this space. The introduction is focused on goals, working hypotheses and basic concept definitions which are related to an issue of mental maps. GIS tools are used to evaluate mental maps. The main part is devoted to a case study of Holešovice district, processing and interpretation of gained results. The final section summarises results and confirms or disproves hypotheses. The results are aggregated maps representing four different groups of respondents followed by possibilities of a practical use of that work. Keywords: mental maps, perception of space, influence of the environment on residents
