Water scarcity in the Czech Republic and its implementation in highschools
Kalinová, Petra ; Janský, Bohumír (advisor) ; Šobr, Miroslav (referee)
Water scarcity is one of the current issues not only in the Czech Republic. Given the fact that drought has hit the territory of the Czech Republic several times recently and also climate change, it is essential for our country to be able to prepare for repeated drought periods. Possibilities for dealing with the drought in the Czech Republic, including examples of concrete measures, as well as other basic information regarding drought in the Czech Republic, are presented in this bachelor's thesis. However, the main goal of this bachelor's thesis is to create a project day on the topic of Water scarcity in the Czech Republic. The creation of the project day is part of the PERUN project, which is focused on climate change and drought and its impact on the territory of the Czech Republic. The project day was verified in practice in the form of a pretest-posttest design, thus confirming its effectiveness and testing the quality of the materials used. In the vast majority of cases, positive trend of increasing correct answers amongst students is visible, and thus the participating students deepened their knowledge regarding this issue. Key Words: water scarcity, Czechia, high schools, tuition

Geographical aspects of electoral support for the populist radical right in Czechia
Cihlář, Pavel ; Lepič, Martin (advisor) ; Suchánek, Jonáš (referee)
The populist radical right parties, along with their political successes in the 21st century, have also gained considerable academic interest. Given the significant geographic variation in support of these parties, the attention is also turning to the geographical aspects of this phenomenon. These aspects are the focus of this thesis. It aims to map the intensity and shape of the clustering of electoral support for the Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) movement in the 2017 and 2021 parliamentary elections and to further examine geographical differences in the explanatory factors of this electoral support. The thesis uses the method of spatial autocorrelation and multiscale geographically weighted regression to achieve these objectives. The statistical units are the municipalities of the Czech Republic, and the explanatory variables are socio-demographic indicators, conceptualized according to three categories of explanatory support for the populist radical right: economic grievances, cultural grievances, and anomie. Particular attention is paid to the theory of anomie, based on theories of mass society and social capital. Earlier analyses of this theory have led to ambivalent results and this thesis tests a potential explanation for this in terms of the geographical non-stationarity of the...

Local action groups in the inner periphery of Bohemia: perception of success and its analysis
Ambrozková, Marie ; Chromý, Pavel (advisor) ; Konečný, Ondřej (referee)
This master's thesis examines the success of Local Action Groups (LAGs) from the perspective of how success is defined by LAG representatives, which is compared with the approaches of state and European authorities and experts. It further analyzes the factors influencing LAG activities with an emphasis on the context of the inner periphery of Bohemia. The research methods employed were qualitative, involving semi-structured interviews with representatives of six active LAGs from the inner periphery of Bohemia. The results indicate that, according to LAG representatives, the success lies in networking within the territory, LAG awareness, knowledge of the territory's needs, and active targeting of these needs. Particularly in terms of LAG awareness and informed targeting of territory needs, LAG representatives' perspectives differ from other approaches. Respondents identify a good team as the foundation of successful LAGs, which utilizes positive factors and overcomes negative influences on LAG activities. Key findings from the research include a description of the successful LAG team and an overview of factors influencing their activities, including those typical of the inner periphery. Internal factors such as small municipalities with non-full-time mayors, sparse population, and missing services...

Educational structure of the Czech population in the post-socialist period: spatial patterns and gender differences
Ouředníček, Radek ; Špačková, Petra (advisor) ; Korčák, Matěj (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the evaluation of the level of education in Czechia and its development in the post-socialist period. The aim of the thesis was to describe and explain the differences in the level of education and their development at different levels in Czechia, with an emphasis on gender differences. The analyses were carried out at three territorial levels - European countries, Czechia, and Czech micro-regions (administrative districts of municipalities with extended powers). Quantitative analysis of secondary data was used to answer the research questions of the thesis. In the European context, the level of education and the state of gender inequalities in Czechia were assessed as below average. The research found an increase in the level of education and a reversal of gender gap in education in Czechia. Spatial clusters of educational attainment were defined by cartographic analysis. The most significant spatial differences were found between socio-economically developed core and suburban regions and weaker, socio-economically disadvantaged peripheral areas. Key words: education, educational level, spatial differentiation, gender inequalities, post- socialist development, Czechia

Dynamics of Residential Differentiation and Segregation of Foreigners in Czech Metropolitan Areas
Klsák, Adam ; Ouředníček, Martin (advisor) ; Čermák, Zdeněk (referee) ; Uherek, Zdeněk (referee)
Czechia has become a noteworthy case study of international migration within Central and Eastern Europe. With a steadily increasing inflow of international migrants, it is anticipated that their contribution to the societal and urban dynamics will become more pronounced. This influx has led to a rise in socio-economic and ethnic heterogeneity, reflected in spatial patterns where distinctive population groups are localized. The expe- riences from traditional immigration countries indicate that the voluntary concentration of foreigners into ethnic enclaves often serves as an intermediary phase in the integration process. However, it can also pose significant risks in situations where immigrants are not willing to participate in broader society or face exclusion. The primary goal of this dissertation is to enhance the comprehension of the spatial distribution of foreigners across selected Czech metropolitan areas and to explain the related phenomena on multiple scales within the urban hierarchy. The investigation seeks suitable data sources and methodological frameworks to analyze the current state, trajectory, determinants, and particularities of socio-spatial differentiation and segrega- tion. Furthermore, a significant focus lies in the nuanced and theoretically grounded interpretation of results,...

Zoos as socially constructed institutions in changing social and territorial contexts
Nekolný, Lukáš ; Fialová, Dana (advisor) ; Šantrůčková, Markéta (referee) ; Boltižiar, Martin (referee)
This dissertation deals with research of the zoo as a social construct, which in its history and form represents the development of the relationship between society and nature, or man and animals. At the same time, it is a specific cultural landscape reflecting other changes in paradigms and needs in society. The current form of zoos has always reflected various economic, political, environmental and cultural aspects, or opinion and spatial changes of society. This work is a contribution to the discussion of the application of thematization typical of contemporary experience-oriented society. The aim of the thesis is to characterize the development of zoos and their current form in Europe, where this concept originated at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, and to discuss regional differences regarding the different geographical context of the post-socialist space. From the geographical point of view, this is a topic rarely addressed so far, both from a theoretical (the zoo as an example of the specific landscape) as well as a regional approach. The first part provides a theoretical framework by means of a discussion of scientific literature and formulating the starting points of the research based on selected concepts and paradigms (social constructivism, the relationship between man and...
