Paměť krajiny mikroregionu Ivančicko

The diploma thesis is concerned with the landscape memory of the Ivančicko micro-region. The micro-region is in the South Moravia Region, in the south-west part of the Brno-country district. The micro-region includes three towns and nine villages. Methodologically, the thesis is based on literature reviews for published information, comparative method, semi-standardized interviews, SWOT analysis and own field investigation. In the theoretical part, the fundamental concepts are first defined, followed by a brief description of the whole micro-region, a selection of its monuments, countryside and landscape protection. In the conclusion, the historical development and present-day dominant features of the micro-region are described in brief. It follows from the results that the selected micro-region parts of interest, i.e. the cadastral lands of Ivančice and Kounické Předměstí, do not differ much in their landscape conditions; however, the historical development of these two territories was different. In both of them, the most important effects were brought about by the Industrial Revolution and, later, by socialist economy, the collectivization of agriculture in particular. On the basis of semi-standardized dialogues regarding only the landscape around Ivančice and Oslavany, a total of 32 values were obtained. The results then indicate that the landscape of the micro-region used to be rich in beautiful spots but, by now, most of them have irreversibly changed their appearance or vanished altogether
