The aim of the bachelor thesis was to create the conception of thematic maps. The theme of these maps is called Easter in the Czech Republic. There are a lot of ways of celebrating these days in different regions in our republic.
To create the conception of maps it was necessary to search for books, studies and articles about Easter. For presenting this information in a conception of maps was very helpful to search for etnographic maps. These maps are mostly concentrated in atlases. Six parts of etnographic atlases were published for our republic. Every part etnographic atlas has its own theme and is divided into two parts. The first part is a text about the major theme and the second one is created by maps. The etnographic atlas of Slovakia was very good source of knowlege. This atlas is a masterpiece because there are concentrated 525 maps, which are connected with folk culture. These two steps were very important because a lot of knowlege and inspiration could be collected.
A conception of maps and also a legend could be created after previous two steps. The conception of maps is formed with 14 maps.
For these maps it was created a legend that summarises all signs from maps. For a web presentation of this bahcelor
work it was created an interactive map. This map is about songs that are sang during spring walks in Přerov and Olomouc region.
