Landscape transformation in the Malešice-Hostivař industrial area and its surroundings in 1841-2022
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

Impact of agroforestry on dragonflies diversity
Kajzrová, Soňa ; Lojka, Bohdan (advisor)
Tropical rain forests around the world suffer from deforestation, which is caused mainly by small-scale farmers. These farmers largely employ slash-and-burn methods to clear the land for agricultural settlement. Agroforestry systems are widely found in the humid tropics, where they could have great potential to increase the productivity of farming systems and sustain continuous crop production and they are also supposed to conserve biodiversity. As a group of freshwater invertebrates, dragonflies (Odonata) are commonly used as ecological indicators of freshwater ecosystems. The main objective of the study is to assess the impact of land use changes on dragonflies (Odonata) species richness and diversity, namely primary and secondary forest, cocoa agroforest and slash-and-burn agriculture in the Tropical Africa. We hypothesize, that the species richness and diversity of dragonflies decrease with disturbance of the ecosystems, along the land-use changes gradient.
