Routes planning in Úslava microregion

Czech Republic has one of the densest and highest quality marked hiking trails in Europe, covering completely the whole country. But these trails are not planned with respect to the minority of the population with some kind of handicap. This is a group of families with small children who prefer hiking or biking, for families with strollers and disabled persons in wheelchairs. As the author of this thesis is a councilor of the village Jarov and also a councilor of this village in the Mikroregion Úslava organization he decided to plan a short circular hiking trails with respect to these neglected tourist groups in order to expand tourism in the area of Mikroregion Úslava. These routes may also partly overlap with marked hiking trails (due to their density) and are planned with practical experiences of the author. The results of the thesis will be incorporated into the information brochures of Mikroregion Úslava. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. Theoretical part describes the methods for solving the travelling salesman problem and provides general information on the concept of micro-regions - voluntary unions of the municipalities. The practical part describes Mikroregion Úslava, the points of interest database creation procedure and planning sightseeing routes for families with children on foot, by bicycle or in strollers. There is also planned a route for disabled persons in wheelchairs in Blovice, which the author of the thesis eventually eliminated from the reasons described
