Attitudes of local people and visitors towards Wolf (Canis lupus) in Šumava mountains and its surrounding.
KOLÁŘ, Miroslav
In the Czech Republic, the gradual return of carnivores, including wolves, can be observed in recent years. These carnivores are mainly found in the border areas of the Czech Republic, and it is no different in the Šumava, where they returned after years of retreat in 2015 and today they regularly reproduce here. The return of wolves brings many positive responses from the conservationists of nature and the general public. However, for some people wolves are the cause of fear. The aim of this work was to find out how the presence of wolves perceive the local inhabitants of Šumava and the surrounding Šumava, and what opinions visitors have. The data was obtained using a questionnaire survey conducted by field survey and in the form of online questionnaire sharing. The output of the work was the graphic processing of individual questions of the questionnaire and to compare the results with previous opinion polls about large carnivores. It was found that visitors on average showed more positive opinions to the wolves than the locals. At the end of the thesis there are some recommendations that could help improving the attitude to wolves and their acceptance in the surrounding landscape.

Dopady útoku vlka na stáda ovcí
PĚČKOVÁ, Michaela
The bachelor 's thesis deals with the relationship between wolfs and sheep breeding in the context of wolf attacks on sheep and measures to protect herds. The aim of the work was to investigate different ways to protect sheep farming from wolf attacks and to analyse their effectiveness. Combination of qualitive and quantitative methods was used for data collection, including interviews with sheep farmers and analysis of available statistical data. The main result of the work was the finding that wolf attacks have a significant impact on sheep farming, both in terms of economic losses and in terms of the psychological impact on breeders. Various measures have been identified to protect sheep farming from the wolf, such as electric fences or the use of herding dogs. Each measure has its advantages and disadvantages, and therefore it is necessary to take into the account the specifics of a specific location and the needs of the breeder.

Phrasems in Norwegian and Czech - A Comparison from the Cognitive Linguistics Perspective
Payneová, Marie ; Štajnerová, Petra (advisor) ; Vaňková, Irena (referee)
In this thesis we deal with the analysis of expressions - in particular the metaphorical and phraseological expressions - containing a motive of an animal in Czech and Norwegian. The method is based on cognitive linguistics, mainly on the Polish ethnolinguistic school, with a special focus on the definition of metaphor and symbol from the point of view of the philosophical hermeneutics. We describe and support some common principles of the perception and conceptualization of animals in both languages and we focus on semantic connections concerning this topic. Our main focus is on the expression wolf - we compare the linguistic picture of the world of this controversial animal in Czech and Norwegian.

Comparison of Attitudes of Primary and Secondary Schools Students to Large Carnivores, Especially the Common Wolf (Canis lupus) and Domestic Dog (Canis lupus familiaris)
Mejzr, Martin ; Andreska, Jan (advisor) ; Hanel, Lubomír (referee)
Today, the issues related to the presence of bears and wolves in the Czech Republic are more frequently discussed due to their occasional occurrence. The significant part of the public still considers these predators dangerous and they even think that a man is supposed to be their potential prey. A lot of surveys confirming this have been already taken, but none of them was focused on the views of primary and secondary schools students. As they are a part of the school education system, their views on the large carnivores should be mainly shaped by it. A questionnaire-based survey was used to find the attitudes of students. The first part of the questionnaire focused on the students' opinions about the dangerousness of predators, its reasons and common wolf presence in the Czech Republic. The second part of the questionnaire is focused on the domestic dog, which has wolf origins. It deals mainly with the attitudes of students to selected dog breeds, dog domestication awareness and views on the so- called "fighting breeds". This work has been aimed at identification of attitudes of the primary and secondary school students from different regions of the Czech Republic to the selected predators. The survey was also taken at primary schools in the High Tatras Mountains, an area where all the large...

The pupils also expressed their opinions about dog breeds and stated whether they currently had a dog, or had had one in the past, and if so, what kind it was. The study was conducted on the basis of a questionnaire survey. Questionnaires were given out at primary schools in areas, where some of the beasts abide (brown bear, wolf, lynx).

Zhodnocení distribuce a početnosti vlka na Broumovsku, jeho vliv na zvěř a škody na zvířatech
Strnad, Vojtěch
The return of the permanent population of wolves in the Czech Republic is a frequently discussed topic, especially in connection with the harms caused by wolves to livestock farmers. This thesis deals with the distribution and abundance of wolves in the Broumov region, where the wolves returned in 2015 and have successfully reproduced since 2016. Furthermore, it evaluates the harms to livestock and the impact on animals. This issue is solved in three levels. The first level provides information about the harms to farm animals, which was registered between 2015-2018, divides the territory of the PLA Broumovsko into several areas of attacks and informs about the number of farmed animals in these areas. The second level deals with the influence of the presence of wolves on the number of cloven-hoofed game between 2015-2018 in the area where the wolves are observed for the longest time and there are the greatest harms to livestock. The last level solves the abundance and distribution of wolves in the Broumov region, based on pictures from photo traps and found droppings.
