Interpretation of temporary structures in the context of activation of abandoned sites
Joja, Marie ; Bartošová, Nina (referee) ; Gregorová,, Jana (referee) ; Beneš,, Ondřej (referee) ; Petříčková, Monika (advisor)
Temporary use serves as a useful tool in a process of activation of unused buildings. The final thesis puts the phenomenon of short–term function in a centre of attention and it examines successful application of transient use in a strategy of restoration of abandoned buildings. Principles of temporary use define an opportunity to test new ideas in the process of designing long–term use. A newly established database on www.archipop.cz is based on an analysis of case studies of temporary use. The publicly accessible database provides a list of selected projects that successfully activated neglected spaces via temporary use. Many of these projects are managed by a temporary planning institute. General goals of an institute, which sets up principles of temporary use in close cooperation with municipalities, are summarized in an individual chapter. The acquired knowledge of the process of analysis of principles of temporary use was verified in a practical task. The assignment was to create a strategy for an activation of an unused complex, specifically a site of a former paper factory in the Spanish province of Pontevedra.

Transcendental aspects of architectural design as factors of sustainability
Volnohradský, Radan ; Peřinková, Martina (referee) ; Loutocká, Vlasta (referee) ; Uřídilová, Marcela (referee) ; Urbášková, Hana (advisor)
This thesis deals with complex processes, relationships and phenomena which go beyond the assumed and accepted materialistic perception of the world in general and the process of architectural design specifically. It clarifies and actually redefine the sustainability from a point of higher universal principles forming our environment. At the beginning this thesis presents an extensive knowledge base of existing holistic design systems including Feng-shui, sacred geometry, geomancy or numerology. The purpose is to build and establish a solid foundation for understanding and further research as well as objectively interpreting lesser known topics as a whole. On the basis of intersecting information through the above mentioned topics we specify the hypothesis which proposes the pre-existence of one unifying design matrix of harmonic structures in architecture. The structure of its verification takes us from an analysis of the science of human perception to systems of self-similar contextual references of animated and inanimated forms. These systems of emergent form and flow are basically known as fractals, and could be expressed in both mathematical and geometrical languages. The thesis research then consists of analysing chosen examples of urban and architectural scale in sense of fractality, symbolism and geometrical matrices. We include and integrate the research of associated and relevant phenomena in pedagogical practice, and a case study of the application of fractals in development of a chosen town. From the results of this thesis we abstract five non-dogmatic guidelines or tenets for architectural design; which are supported by experimental verification on some of the author´s buildings. These tenets stand as pillars of implosive architecture. This kind of architecture in context of transcendental overlaps means a possibility of how to bring our anthropogenic environment closer to the natural and harmonic code of the Universe.

New form of participation in restoration of small and middle cities
Chladil, Jan ; Sklenář, Vavřín (referee) ; Mgr.František Kubeš (referee) ; Urbášková, Hana (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
Main goal is analyse of contemporary status in restoration of Low Austria and South Moravia and eduction of results for steps which are leading to successful restoration in future. Confrontation of present method in restoration of country Low Austria and South Moravia and sighting of current trends in restoration on european level can show the way to project, when we want to pass on experience and to indicate the support of restoration and to participace with restoration abroad. Creating of vision is really good satisfaction of the work. Between limit South Moravia and Low Austria we can see historical parallel. I tis famous time of Austria – Hungarian monarchy, but also eco - devastation without plans and agro culture. Small and middle small cities of South Moravia begins in time after revolution with searching of new identity, with searching of new ways how to hold out market rivalry to another cities. Rightly effort to unfold and develop current system after the fashion of friends from Low Austria.

Why nobody wants anything from me.
Hurych, Martin ; Dolanová,, Lenka (referee) ; Klímová, Barbora (advisor)
The work focuses on subjective experience in urban, public environments. I use the principle of material and non-material exchange as a device to establishing communication, sharing my own thoughts and experiences with strangers who want something from me. I create a sound work from open and immediate communication with others. The primary intention was to relativize subjective, diary notes and notes by letting them read on the street by people who approached me and said they wanted me to do something. Reflections and experiences of respondents were added to the text. All readings were recorded in the form of audio recording, which is further post-produced.

A View on Reflection in Nursing and Social Work Education
Čajko Eibicht, Monika ; Lorenz, Walter (advisor) ; Brnula, Peter (referee) ; Vacková, Jitka (referee)
In times of dynamic social changes and uncertainty, reflective practice becomes crucial for social work and nursing. This dissertation examines the epistemological foundations and the multidimensional nature of reflection within professional education from various theoretical perspectives tested through original empirical findings, which aim to prevent the reduction of reflection to a mere technique and instead promote dialogue, interdisciplinary cooperation, and participatory methods. Drawing on phenomenological and critical constructivist approaches deepens the understanding of educators' individual and collective experiences and reflective practices. The structure of the thesis corresponds to three empirical phases. The first phase investigates the characteristics of reflection and its developmental potential using SRIS and PHLMS questionnaires. The second phase, encompassing reflexive thematic analysis of interviews, addresses educators' views on reflection and their methods of promoting reflectivity among students. In the third phase, the work employs Q methodology to process and analyze various perspectives on reflection among educators. This method, still underutilized in the Czech context, allows for a deeper examination of the subjective aspects of educational practice. The participation...

Implementation of the human rights-based approach in development cooperation by Czech non-governmental non-profit organizations
Stehlíková, Magda ; Muhič Dizdarevič, Selma (advisor) ; Košák Felcmanová, Alena (referee)
This thesis seeks to describe the development and theoretical anchoring of the concept of the human rights-based approach (HRBA) in the context of development cooperation and to examine how it is taken into account by Czech NGOs. The theoretical part focuses in particular on the still controversial issues related to the universalism and cultural relativism of human rights, as well as their mostly individualistic nature. Then, the gradual penetration of human rights into international development discourse and the role and specifics of development NGOs are described in more detail. The thesis presents theoretical insights and concrete examples of the application of the human rights-based approach by NGOs. Critical perspectives and problematic implications associated with its application by NGOs are also discussed. In the Czech environment, the implementation of the HRBA is examined through a case study of two prominent NGOs.

Participativní mapování hodnot a problémů v krajině
Perůtková, Tereza
The bachelor thesis on "Participatory mapping of values and problems in the landscape" deals with the identification of values and problems in the landscape in the Hranice Karst research site. The subject of the analysis is interviews with respondents who visited the site and helped to determine these values and problems, based on which development trends and a proposed management plan for the site were outlined. A great deal of attention is also paid in particular to the municipality of Teplice nad Bečvou with its adjacent spa. Another important factor is the cooperation between the various actors in the area, which will lead to the development and long-term sustainability of this unique site, whose dominant features can be seen in particular in the Zbrašovské aragonite caves or the NPR Hůrka u Hranice, where the deepest flooded abyss in the world is located. Based on the identified problems, specific solutions were proposed in the draft management plan, which was also appreciated by the representatives of local authorities.
