Sustainable Forest and Wildlife Resources in Czech Republic
The study area is Šumava National Park (ŠNP), the largest of the four national parks located in the south-west of Czech Republic, on the border with Germany. Being a unique mosaic of natural and secondary habitats of exceptional natural value of European- wide significance, the ŠNP is established as a special regime of environmental protection with unique biological communities. The area is represented by the vast wooded areas, precious mountain spruce and protected mixed forests of various ages, peat bogs, meadows biotops. Altogether, they create a unique mosaic of biotopes, which encompass a variety of rare, endemic and endangered species. Geobotanically, the ŠNP belongs to the Bohemia...
Role of Tourism in Development of Rural Marginal Areas (Region of Šumava Mts. In Czech Republic).
Marginality is a complex phenomenon resulting from the specific natural, economic as well as socio-cultural attributes of individual regions. It includes impossibility (of majority) of the population living in a given territory to integrate itself into the main developmental trends (e. g. Moller 1995; Sirovátka 1997). Transforming marginality into comparative advantage can be seen as one of promising ways to overcome it. As a region marginal from socio-economic perspective, but highly attractive as tourist destination, Šumava Mts. were chosen as a model area to demonstrate the idea. Documented by empirical findings, the latest history of the region is discussed in terms of assessing the strong and weak points of developmental strategy adopted by the region, which is based on tourism as the main agent fostering region's socio-economic wake.
Landscapes and Landforms of the Czech Republic
The book aims to present the unique geomorphological landscapes of the Czech Republic. The geomorphic uniqueness of this country benefits from the proximity to two distinct European geological domains: the old cratonized Bohemian Massif and the relatively young Tertiary fold and thrust belt of the Western Carpathians. Landscapes and Landforms of the Czech Republic introduces general physiographical characteristics of the landscape and presents the main driving factors leading to the evolution of the present landscape. The book contains twenty two chapters describing the most interesting geomorphic landscapes of the Czech Republic. The selection of individual landscapes was based on visual exceptionality (e.g. sandstone landscapes of the Northern Bohemia), scientific importance (e.g. patterned grounds in the Sudetic Mountains) and historical relevance (e.g. mining of the Nízký and Hrubý Jeseník Mountains). The final chapters of the book discuss the protection of geomorphic heritage in the Czech Republic.
Indigenous Peoples and Protected Areas
Indigenous peoples and protected areas all over the world are portraited. The conflict between "modern life" and the lifestyle practised for ages in these areas is discussed
Tourism and Development in Mountain Regions
This book discusses the importance of mountain regions, and the precariousness of mountain tourism in the context of ecosystem and cultural conservation. It includes case studies of mountain tourism existing alongside environmental sustainability and community well being. The text presents an integrated approach to mountain-based tourism, balancing the needs of local communities, tourists and environmental conservation.
Spatial Analysis for Environmental Mapping of Šumava National Park
The study area is Šumava National Park (ŠNP), the largest of the four national parks (68,064 hectares) located in the south-west of Czech Republic, on the border with Germany. Since 1990 it has been the protected Biospherical Reserve of UNESCO. Being a unique mosaic of natural and secondary habitats of exceptional natural value of European-wide significance, the components of the ŠNP represent is the largest terrestrial significant part of the Natura 2000 network in Czech Republic and Germany. For instance, the fauna species of ŠNP include protected important examples, such as e.g. lynx, otter and peregrine. The ŠNP is established as a special regime of environmental protection with uni...
Landscape-Use Optimisation with Regards to the Groundwater Resources Protection in Mountain Hardrock Areas
This EC report is only available online. This report assesses the degree of interference of human activities with the hydrosphere in mountain-zones, all located in hard-rock areas of different countries in the European Union. Each of the test regions has a specific degree of protection: from regions with very few inhabitants and very low human impact, to regions submitted to a strong anthropogenic impact. The investigations focused on the changes in water quality and on the simulation of various alternatives leading to optimum landscape-use from the point of view of water-management. The project's own Geographic Information System was used to fulfil the following objective: present all the o...
