Digital Library
Krbeček, Daniel ; Přinosil, Jiří (referee) ; Číka, Petr (advisor)
The thesis contains basic information about image documents digitalization. A brief list of common used standards in Czech republic is shown. The standards can be used in description of digitalized documents by institutions such as libraries, scientific departments and universities. The thesis specifically solves the dilemma of the preservation and the accessing of B.P.Molls large map collection stored in Moravian Library in Brno city. It analyses step by step the characteristics of the saved documents, style of their interlacing and data representation. In terms of deposition and manipulation it comes with description list of open-source digital libraries and it chooses the Fedora repository. It solves methods of object-model implementation while using this digital library. The functional parts are web presentation of the mentioned map collection and an effectiveness test showing large-scale maps using the flash Zoomify browser. Web presentation uses the repository services as often as possible, and thus allows searching and searching through the bibliographic records of the presented documents. The end of the thesis sums up the obtained results and presents the incoming development course of presentation and popularization of the map collection.
Transformations of the symbolic layer of the landscape: analysis of minor place names and local names in old maps of the city of Jičín and its surroundings
Dařílek, Petr ; Chromý, Pavel (advisor) ; Šantrůčková, Markéta (referee)
Diploma thesis is focusing on local place names and minor place names in the landscape as part of landscape memory. The landscape consists of many layers, one of which is also symbolic layer. This layer is also created by toponyms, they have the power to affect us in how we perceive the landscape, and also carry valuable information about culture and history. The aim of this thesis is to analyse place names and minor place names in historical maps of Jičín and the surrounding area. This thesis will try to determine which local place names are steady parts of the Jičín landscape, if and how place names change thorough time, and whether there can be registered a disappearance of minor place names and local place names.
Water on the maps of our country from 16.-17. century
Hlaváčková, Vanda ; Čábelka, Miroslav (advisor) ; Bayer, Tomáš (referee)
The goal of this bachelor's thesis is to perform a content analysis of the management of old map works and then, based on the results of the analysis, to design and create a web map application for the presentation of the results. In the beginning of the thesis, important terms related to the topic are introduced, followed by the methodology of content analysis of old maps. Individual old maps are also presented, namely Klaudyán's map of Bohemia from 1518, Criginger's map of Bohemia from 1568 and Aretin's map of Bohemia from 1619, including a brief biography of their authors. Based on the information obtained from the previous chapters, the content analysis itself was carried out. Its results are discussed in the discussion of the work. As part of the practical part, based on content analysis, a web map application was designed and created, showing the guidance of old maps in vector form over current map documents. Insights and information resulting from the analysis are also included. Keywords: old map, map analysis, Klaudyan map, Criginger map, Aretin map, ArcGIS Online
Estate maps and their importance for the study of historical landscapes and serfdom towns
Tůmová, Martina ; Semotanová, Eva (advisor) ; Frajer, Jindřich (referee) ; Šantrůčková, Markéta (referee)
The dissertation deals with the knowledge and reconstruction of the historical landscape of the early to the upper modern period using cartographic sources, maps of the estates from the 18th and the first half of the 19th century, which have not been exploited so far. It seeks answers to the questions of what changes occurred in the landscape during this period and documents them, especially on the example of the serfdom towns in Bohemia. The dissertation is interdisciplinary in nature. It tries to contribute to research in historical geography and to fit thematically into the concept of studying historical landscapes (from identification and documentation to understanding the meanings of their transformations). However, it also uses the approaches of historical cartography in the research, analysis and processing of hitherto neglected cartographic sources - sources of information about the past. Attention in the study of historical landscapes and urban history has so far been paid rather to the younger period from the mid-19th century onwards, mainly because of the availability, mostly wider possibilities of processing the necessary historical sources (topographically more accurate old maps and plans of comparative character) and the accuracy of their narrative value. The older period up to the...
Development of cultural landscape in the western part of the České středohoří Mts.
Kyselka, Jan ; Lipský, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Skaloš, Jan (referee)
The main aim of this thesis is assessment of land use changes from half of the 19th century to present in the western part of the České středohoří Mts. Changes in land use categories proportion, development of ecological stability of landscape, development of land use diversity and influence of physical-geographic conditions on land use changes were assessed. The second aim is assessment of abandoned land occurrence in the area. All abandoned lands were mapped and then relationship between abandoned lands occurrence and physical-geographic conditions was assessed. Key words: landscape development, land use, abandoned lands, old maps, České středohoří Mts.
Analysis of Water Bodies on Aretin map of Bohemia
Povolná, Lucie ; Čábelka, Miroslav (advisor) ; Bayer, Tomáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis dealt with the personality of Pavel Aretin, his map of Bohemia from 1619 and its other editions. The main goal of this work was to analyze the leadership on selected editions of Aretin's map from the funds of the Map Collection of the Faculty of Science, Charles University and the National Archive, to perform a basic content and cartometric analysis. The content analysis was focused on the line and area elements of water on Aretin's maps. Changes in the representation of the waterworks during the four editions of Aretin's map of Bohemia and differences in topography from the present were examined. The content analysis included analyzes of map features and descriptions of water bodies. The cartometric analysis focused on the accuracy of the map layout according to identical points awarded to objects related to the water theme. This analysis was performed in MapAnalyst software.

Pre-industrial landscapes of Moravian Slovakia
Kolejka, Jaromír ; Batelková, Kateřina
The areas in the landscape with the preserved secondary landscape structure originated before the mid-19th century can be seen as existing segments of the pre-industrial landscape (PreIL). Such area has retained a similar character of land use from the period before the main wave of the industrial revolution in the territory of the present Czech Republic. Comparative documents registering the secondary landscape structure of the old pre-industrial landscapes are represented by the maps of the II. military survey and in cadastral maps both from the first half of the 19th century. Current source of information on the pre-industrial landscape is represented by a recent colour orthophotomap. The region of the Moravian Slovakia, which was defined for research purposes, has only a relatively small number of pre-industrial landscape segments respecting PreIL´s identification criteria.
