University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Faculty of Education, Department of Geography, p. 51. This bachelor thesis explores, by means of statistical analysis, the influence of pilgrimage sites on the religiosity of the inhabitants living in the municipalities in whose territory the pilgrimage places are located. The objectives and hypothesis are set out in the introduction. The second chapter contains theoretical starting points and discussion with literature. Then the methodology and historical and geographical context of the issue are presented. In the analysis, the influence is examined by comparison of the valuesof religiosity with selected municipalities with pilgrimage sites with the entire solved territory. The location of the pilgrimage sites within the solved territory and the size of the village is taken into account. The influence of the different features of the pilgrimage sites - the location in the municipality, the architectural character and the activity expressed in the number of pilgrimages are also studied. The analysis also contains a time comparison for the period 1991-2011. The synthesis then interprets the results and explanations of the facts. The reflection of the hypotheses and the evaluation of the work are contained in the conclusion. For better clarity, the work is complemented by maps, graphs and statistical tables
