Course objectives
The aim of the course is to demonstrate the model region of Czechia and in practice show and check the knowledge gained in lectures and seminars from partial physical-geographic disciplines. Students will be acquainted with the natural conditions of the model area, its economic use and settlement conditions. Students will understand the situation in the visited region. Their tasks will consist in the purpose assessment of the territory and mapping of examples of selected phenomena in individual natural components in the territory with respect to human activities (harmful natural processes, inappropriate use, threatened by human activities).
Learning outcomes
Students will be acquainted with the natural conditions of the model territory, its economic use and settlement conditions. Students will thus understand the situation in the visited region. Their tasks will consist in the purposeful assessment of the territory and the mapping of examples of selected phenomena in the various physical components (geological base, relief, soil and biogeographical conditions).
Syllabus
  • 1) Collection of material from the field practice - text, tabular and map materials. 2) Processing notes and information obtained from lecture while discovering the model area. 3) Division of tasks and territory of field practice. 4) Independent working on tasks in the field. 5) Creating individual and group ¨reports from the field practice.
