Natural World as a World of Many Faces

The main goal of this Diploma thesis was a description of fact which way people understand the nature and identify main factors and their influence on construction of natural picture in contemporary society. I managed to approach the attitude to environmental issues and therefore I used the comparison of two main groups who are living in this locality and concretely group of resident people and crofter's group. For this research it was chosen the place Lipka and Michlova Huť such a place where are living this two main groups of people together and where are some rules about protected areas of Sumava. I observe the difference of these two groups in the natural picture construction and environmental issues. Key words: nature, factors, natural picture construction, environmental issue
