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.

Regional Differentiation of Swahili Identity - Case Study of Vanga and Ushongo
Mbezi, Barbora ; Havlíček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Frajer, Václav (referee)
This thesis deals with the formation of the Swahili identity within two countries: Kenya and Tanzania. The Swahili people have inhabited the East African coast since the first millennium, utilizing local resources to trade and to create their sophisticated social position. The philosophy of Islam had a considerable influence on the development of the Swahili culture. These traditional elements typical for the Swahili culture were significantly restricted by the period of colonialism, where newly formed boundaries divided this ethnic group. The situation on both sides of the border is analysed through quantitative and qualitative research, which offers a complex view on the issue. The results show that selected cities are very similar with only small differences - often related to the closeness or openness of the village towards increasing tourism. In general the established boundaries play almost no role in shaping the Swahili identity. The Swahili people retain their traditional position within the East African coast, although their relations with other countries are less pronounced as the distance between them increases.
