AKTIVITY V ROZVOJI MĚST V RÁMCI EU ČESKÉ STRATEGICKÉ PLÁNOVÁNÍ ROZVOJE VENKOVA V POLITICKÉM A PLÁNOVACÍM DISKURZUCzech Strategic Planning of Rural Regions in Political and Planning Discourse, by Vladan Hruška
In reaction to the increasing spatial differentiation and the expansion of the European programming model with the redistribution of structural funds, strategic planning in the Czech Republic is developed as a method to harmonize and synchronize steps for spatial development in various territories. Strategic planning obviously includes rural regions. However, many authors express doubts about the quality of strategic plans and the chances for their successful implementation. One of the reasons for such distrust is the thinking of decision-makers and strategic planners, who consider rural areas to be static, strictly delimited, of weak economy and dominated by agriculture. Such opinions lead to misunderstandings about the character of today’s rural areas and, consequently, to bad strategy documentation and a corrupt image of strategic planning and its role in the development of rural areas. This article tries to analyze these drawbacks, suggesting solutions to the situation.

The aim of this report is to describe the spatial extent of residential suburbanization, featuring some specific stages in the development of suburban housing.
OBNOVENÍ HISTORICKÉHO PRŮCHODU K BAZILICE SV. PROKOPA V TŘEBÍČIRenovation of the Historical Passage to the St Procopius Basilica in Třebíč, by Lubor Herzán
The renovated passage from Žerotín Square to Třebíč’s Basilica of St Procopius, opened in August 2010, is another partial accomplishment within the much more complex urban project of the revitalization of the left-bank section of the Urban Preservation Zone of Třebíč. This ambitious longtime vision was first designed as early as the beginning of the 1990s. The newly opened passage is another important stone in the mosaic that is shaping a more pleasant image of this long neglected but immensely valuable urban territory.
PRŮMYSLOVÉ DĚDICTVÍ A CESTOVNÍ RUCHIndustrial Heritage and Tourism, by Marie Tomíšková
The Czech Republic is a country rich in historical monuments, with 40,251 immovable landmarks registered in the Czech Central Register of Cultural Heritage. An important part of this number of registered objects is made up of industrial landmarks. There are more than 2,800 of these in the Register, some of them intended for submission for entry in the UNESCO List. One of the possibilities for efficient utilization of this vast industrial heritage, not only in the Czech Republic but throughout Europe, is tourism.
