Research:
In my dissertation I focus on the transformation of the landscape in the Czech Republic, after 1990 in the context of driving forces, especially socio-economic (the impact of the transformation period, subsidy programs of the European Union and the Czech Republic), which had a major impact on landscape transformation. The thesis examines, among other things, the topic of land abandonment and landscape polarization. The landscape and its changes are studied using a variety of research methods. In particular, methods of remote sensing of the Earth (satellite and aerial photography), procedures of historical-geographical research (methods of comparative photography, use of archival sources, statistical data), etc.
