Summary

The thesis "Application of the Urban Planner in the Czech Republic" can be divided into three separate parts, one theoretical and two practical, which are closely related. The theoretical section is focused on familiarizing with various spatial planning models that can be encountered when dealing with this issue and are often useful helpers in decision-making in planning the area. This section was preceded by the study of available literature and academic papers. Outputs are the overview cards for individual models.

IThe Urban Planner model, which is devoted to a separate chapter, should not be omitted. Urban Planner is an analytical extension of ArcGIS for Desktop designed to calculate the land suitability in the territory. The Urban Planner was developed at the Department of Geoinformatics of the Faculty of Science, Palacky University in Olomouc. At the Department of Geoinformatics, the functionality of the model is tested in various degrees in several diploma and bachelor theses. The chapter devoted to this model thus creates a sort of transient bridge to the practical part aimed at testing this model on real data. Testing in this diploma thesis proceeded from several points of view. The first was the assessment of the importance of the individual input factors that are input into the calculation of the land suitability of the economic, social and ecological pillar. In addition, the sensitivity to the output resolution of the land suitability raster was tested. The last part of the testing was focused on the sensitivity of the input data from different data sources and data with different levels of generalization. For each test, a series of comparison cards were created with a visual and statistical comparison between the original, unmodified raster and the raster modified (no test factor, other raster output resolution, etc.).

The second practical part was focused on the application of the model on a larger scale, in our case the Czech Republic (Czech Republic). First, the collection of available data for the whole Czech Republic was carried out and the land suitability in the Housing category within this area was then calculated.
