Využití technických památek Baťovy éry

Abstract

As a theme for my bachelor thesis I choose the „Utilization of Technical Monuments of Bata´s Era“. I describe three technical monuments, railway from Ratiskovice to Rohatec, wagon tippler in Sudomerice and Bata Canal, all situated in beautiful environment of Slovacko region. The aim of my bachelor thesis was to describe the history and current utilization of these three technical monuments in tourism. As for the railway from Ratiskovice to Rohatec, in a survey and a questionnaire, I attempted to find out whether or not people know about the Museum in the Wagon and the Pedalled Draisines and whether or not they go there. The draisines are now run on the unused railway between Ratiskovice and Rohatec. The theoretical part is based on the specialized literature; in the practical part I used data mainly from brochures, the Ratiskovice Newsletters and from the Internet. I also characterized the area in which all the three technical monuments are situated. The outcome of my thesis is a description of these three technical monuments, the benefits they bring to tourism, there is an outcome of the plans for future as well. Based on the SWOT analysis and the findings from the survey and the questionnaire, I tried to suggest possible improvements.
