Modal Split in Major Czech Cities: Thorough Analysis and Proposal of Policies Leading to Less Car-Dependent Urban Mobility
Bystřický, Vojtěch ; Ščasný, Milan (advisor) ; Šťastná, Lenka (referee)
This thesis focuses on examining the modal split in the five largest Czech cities. Using data from the first nationwide survey on travel behavior in the Czech Republic called Česko v pohybu, the author identifies the main factors which influence the mode choice of inhabitants of Czech cities. The data were evaluated using multinomial logistic regression. Since modal split studies of a large extent are mostly conducted in Western Europe, the United States or Asia-Pacific region, the main contribution of this thesis is to shed some light also on the travel behavior in the Central Europe, more precisely in the largest cities of the Czech Republic. The author analyzes the impact of socio-demographic variables, such as the respondents' age, education level or household income, as well as the importance of the variables related to the trip, such as trip purpose or trip distance. Further, the author also provides comparison of the travel behavior between the examined cities. Among other findings, the author finds that the entitlement to discounted public transport coupons through the ownership of a discount card does not have a significant effect on the probability of using public transport. Further, the results also show that higher education level does not lead to greater use of ecologically friendly...

Coworking hub Špitálka
Gebauer, Pavel ; Kalánek, Jiří (referee) ; Brzoň, Roman (advisor)
The building is a continuation of the current architectural and urban planning study, which considers the concept of the Špitálka development location as a new area in the sense of a Smart city. Existing archive objektu is composed of a dominant four-store mass with a flat roof and a single-store extension with vaulted roof structure by three barrel vaults. The structural system uses the existing reinforced concrete frame with a 6x6 meter module. The Infill structures are designed in the form of CLT panels. Wood, with its ability to regulate humidity and absorb noise could also reduces risk of the global warming. The idea of a coworking space is based on the disruption of the typical horizontal division of floors. The individual floors are completely independent of each other and do not influence each other in any way. On the contrary, there is maximize openness even in the vertical plane in the form of random views. The project aims to use of energy from renewable sources and thus be as self-sufficient as possible. The overall energy stability is aided by the concept of thermal and electrical grids on site. The main source of energy is transfer station from a hot water which supplemented by a absorbing heat exchanger. The building reuse rainwater for watering green facades and gardens and also use photovoltaic panels to support an aspect of a self-sufficient system of the building. The third part of the thesis is dedicated to th issue of facility managment. The connection of the object with intelligent systems helps to maximize user satisfaction. With a comprehensive solution through CAFM software, the building can respond to the problems and shortcomings of individual services, from technology management and accounting to security management or waste management.

Consumerism and the environment - geographical and some other contexts
NEUMAN, Jiří
The thesis has a clear aim to outline the issue of consumerism and its inevitable development in contemporary modern society. There is an attempt to show its origins, practices and consequences. It also seeks to draw attention to the increased threat of ecological catastrophe associated with consumerism that could arise from the consequences of poor waste management in developing countries, particularly on the African continent. This region has been chosen as an ideal non-consumerist world. The United States of America, on the other side, is presented as a contrast to Africa as a typical country where consumerism is high, and its population is the world's biggest polluter in terms of waste production. The theoretical part relies on expert heuristics, which are supported by electronic resources in the form of various projects and analyses that have been previously carried out and now used to investigate the problem described.
