Transport behaviour of inhabitants of the Czech Republic after 1989: geographical aspects

The main topic of this thesis is a thorough analysis of transport behaviour of Czech population since 1989. The study mainly concentrates on the issue of geographical aspects and changes in spatial distribution utilization of individual means of transport after 1989, and especially in the analyzed decade 2001 - 2011. The primary task of analyzing transport behaviour of Czech population is statistical survey based on Sčítání lidu, domů a bytů 2001 and 2011. On the basis of this and map outputs are defined spatial disparities, their essential dependence and possible development in the next decade. The thesis represents a partial research of the transport system of the Czech Republic and its spatial organization. The topic is a very broad issue therefore it is not possible to identify all the major factors that have influenced the dynamic development of the transport branch in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part of this work brings a simple but complex view of the selected topic. The emphasis of the qualification thesis is focused especially on the quantitative survey, of which task is to indicate and describe the spatial changes of selected means of transport mentioned in the intercensal period. The thesis also involves a discussion about final issues of the analyzed topic in the individual sections. This discussion could be regarded as a kind of synthesis of existing scientific literature which focuses on transport behaviour and has developed it. Finally there are outlined some geographical aspects which influence the transport behaviour of the population at individual means of transport and the possible development of the examined issue in the following decade
