Research at 58 accommodation facilities and 642 visitors of this part of the Šumava mountains was performed for these reasons. The research results bring important knowledge when more than a half of accommodation facilities do not implement an efficient price policy, not even in the basic form which means price differentiation. Related to this, other research was performed among the visitors of the Šumava mountains, which brought the basis for the takings optimization process. The paper also presents knowledge how to implement the complex price policy in accordance with the principles of revenue management in accommodation facilities not only in this part of the Czech Republic but after some modifications in other areas on the national and international level. The paper shows that the revenue management of accommodation facilities is a complicated process which is linked to the financial management of a business as well as marketing and micro-economic theory.","PeriodicalId":35652,"journal":{"name":"GEOGRAFICKY CASOPIS-Geographical Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2018-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70011022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The manual and automatic classification of the Belá River riparian zone for landscape object identification and the analyses of the point cloud density after vegetation filtration was performed. The HEXAKOPTER XL including the Sony NEX 6 camera with 16 – 50 mm lens for landscape monitoring features was used. Data was processed in Agisoft PhotoScan software. The RMSE (root mean square error) of aligned images was 60.121 mm (x coordinate), 43.7584 mm (y coordinate) and 29.46 mm (z coordinate). The resulting point cloud was semiautomatic classified in the software Terrasolid – Terrascan (Microstation), in the following six classes: high vegetation (over 5 m), medium vegetation (from 1.5 m to 5 m), small vegetation (from 0.2 m to 1.5 m), topographic surface and water surface. Orthophotomosaic was classified in ArcGIS software by supervised Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC). Here training site signatures identified the five land cover categories (water area, bar surface, vegetation, Large Woody Debris – LWD and bare surface). The classification of photogrammetric derived point clouds increases the accuracy elevation model, but on the other hand, does not capture the real terrain and topography under the vegetation.","PeriodicalId":35652,"journal":{"name":"GEOGRAFICKY CASOPIS-Geographical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2018-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48263287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the common characteristics is a significant tourist potential which is not sufficiently exploited in many SIDS. The paper focuses on the analysis of factors that can influence the number of foreign tourists arriving in SIDS. The statistical significance of potentially relevant factors is exa - mined by regression analysis applied to panel data over 2005 – 2016. The results indicate that the key determinants of tourism demand are destination accessibility, climate (pattern of the weather) and the level of economic development of destinations. Hygienic conditions and tourism infrastructure development are also important factors for tourism inflows. On the contrary, the level of political stability and absence of violence/terrorism play a less statistically significant role in international tourist arri- vals while the level of prices and the rate of intentional homicide do not show any statistical significance. The results also suggest that SIDS should improve transport and tourism infrastructure and that they should increase the hygienic standards to attract more international tourists. However, due to the inherent environmental fragili- ty and cultural uniqueness of many small islands, the SIDS must pay special attention to sustainable tourism development at the same time. The aim of the study is to uncover factors that may influence the number of internatio - nal tourist visits to Small Island Developing States (SIDS). For this purpose, a panel regression analysis over 2005 – 2016 was employed. This methodological approach can be found in the literature on tourism development (Tasci 2007, Cho 2010 and Valek et al. 2014), however not in the context of SIDS. The dependent variable in the analysis is the annual number of tourist arrivals to individual SIDS. The following three groups of factors are used on the side of independent variables: geographical and environmental, economic, social and institutional. The results indicate that the key determinants of tourism demand are destination acces- sibility, climate (pattern of the weather) and the level of economic development of destinations. The hygienic conditions and the level of tourism infrastructure development in SIDS are also important for tourism inflows. On the contrary, the level of political stability and absence of violence/terrorism plays a less statistically significant role in international tou rists arrivals while the level of prices and the rate of intentional homicide do not show any statistical significance.

The paper is focusing on this phenomenon from the perspective of spatial morphology – an approach to which Slovak literature has not paid much attention. The objective of this paper is to outline the spatial configuration of residential suburbanization in the hinterland of Bratislava. Through selected exam- ples, the paper uncovers the mechanism of spatial configurations (territorial regula-tions, morphology of the territory, different municipal strategies, distance from Brati- slava, real estate prices, etc.). Understanding the morphogenesis of new settlement structures in urban hinterland plays a key role in identifying the social, economic and environmental impacts of suburbanization. In fact, this is a vast unexplored field that needs further attention in urban studies and urban morphology in particular. The paper focuses on the phenomenon of suburban development from the perspective of spatial morphology – an approach to which Slovak literature has not paid much attention. The objective of this paper is to outline the spatial configuration of residential suburbanization in the hinterland of Bratislava with a specific view on the relation of spatial arrange- ment (pattern) of the housing construction to the key indicators characterizing the extent and intensity of the suburbanization processes (migration rate, migrants’ origin, housing construction, etc.). The paper, set in the field of urban morphology, explores the spatial conditions of suburban development by looking at measures of density, spatial configuration and accessibility. Through selected examples, the paper uncovers the mechanism of spatial configurations (territorial regulations, morphology of the territory, different munici- pal strategies, distance from Bratislava city centre, real estate prices, etc.). The timeframe is characterized by the period 2003 – 2012 and the paper works with the settlement layer from the ZBGIS database (the basic data base for the geographic infor- mation system), aerial photographs as well as from cadastral maps. To reveal the nature of suburban development patterns, we used an indicator of spatial arrangement, which is rep-resented by the measure of spatial autocorrelation – Morans’ Index (Cliff and Ord 1973). A perfectly concentrated arrangement of units would give a value that is close to 1. A ran-domly dispersed arrangement of units would give a Moran’s Index value that is close to 0. We can thus distinguish highly concentrated large - scale development sites from the more dispersed development of individual constructors. In the first step the paper examines the density of housing construction on different scales. On a regional scale the results show that although suburban development represents a dramatic visual transformation of the rural environment, there is no significant increase in the population density.

Its last neotectonic subdivision was carried out at the scale ~ 1:200,000 (Halouzka 1993), later included in the Neotectonic map of Slovakia (Maglay et al. 1999). This paper presents a more detailed subdivision and delineation of borders of neotectonic blocks of the LKB on the basis of the set of morphotectonic analyses. The Váh River terraces, thickness of Quaternary deposits, faults and morpholineaments and SL index were employed to more precisely delimitate the neotectonic blocks. A long profile analysis of the river terraces bedrock (inferred from 127 drillings and outcrops) and bedrock surface of the recent floodplain (65 drillings) was carried out to detect neotectonic faults within the fluvial systems. Based on the relative height of the surfaces under a terrace and previous fluvial sediment investigations (e.g. Droppa 1964 and Gross 1979), eleven terrace levels were confirmed. 1,958 boreholes and 1,085 geophysical points were used to identify the spatial distribution of the thickness of the Quaternary fill of the basin. Tectonic faults and morpholineaments were used as borders of particular neotectonic blocks. Suggesting the alternation of neotectonic borders, the LKB was subdivided into 60 neotectonic blocks comparing to 24 blocks of former subdivisions (Maglay et al. 1999). Moreover, a new Quaternary depression filled with glacifluvial deposits was identified (min 50 m of thickness) in close vicinity to Pribylina, which could be added to the depressions list (Maglay et al. 2011a).","PeriodicalId":35652,"journal":{"name":"GEOGRAFICKY CASOPIS-Geographical Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2018-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70010919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These places arise due to relief that affects the distribution of precipitation by altitude and orientation to southern flow. Southern flows are an important source of moisture for southern Slovakia. Based on precipitation sums of all the rainfall gauges during the days with the southern cyclonic situations the precipitation fields were interpolated for the period 1991 - 2017. Using the created windward index, windward and leeward places on precipitation fields were mapped out. Based on the map outputs, the effect of the relief was analyzed on the wettest and driest places. It was found out that the most rainfall falls in the moun- tains in the southern part of central Slovakia. The results were compared with the predictions ALADIN and the ECMWF models and the precipitation field from the selected synoptic situation. The achieved results have been confirmed. Research results have practical uses in several areas, particularly in meteorology, hydrology and agriculture. cyclonic situations. It has been found that, in general, during southern cyclonic situa- tions there are strongly windward places such as in the Tatry mountains, Nízke Tatry mountains and Kremnické vrchy mountains. Strongly leeward places are in all Slovakian lowlands, the northwestern part of Slovakia, the Oravská kotlina basin and the Podtatranská kotlina basin in northern Slovakia. The results were compared with prediction models and real measured data. Comparing the results achieved by our methodology with the results of the predictive models ALADIN, ECMWF and the rainfall totals that fell during the south- eastern cyclonic situation SEc from October 15 to October 19, 2015 it was confirmed that windward and leeward places are similar. The results could be used in practice for meteorologists, hydrologists or farmers. By using the map, meteorologists can more accurately determine locations for which a warning will be issued before high rainfall in the expected south cyclone situation. Hydrologists can more accurately locate river basins that are at risk of rising water levels or floods, and expect an increase in snow cover in the winter season.
