The study is devoted to establishment and research orientation of so-called Pilsen Bulgarian studies. In the Czech academia, Bulgarian studies were traditionally understood as philological field of study (the same situation applies to Czech studies in Bulgaria). However, contemporary globalized world offers much more opportunities for academic interest in Bulgaria. Pilsen Bulgarian studies represent different new model of academic centre based on non-philological grounds. This now fully established group of pedagogues and students created, without being formally institutionalized in the structure of the university, research centre focused on Bulgarian issues which is characterized by wide spectrum of activities and important research results. More attention and support should be focused on research centres of this kind instead of focusing only on well-established, institutionalized and traditional ones.

The main topic of the article is the identity of Pilsen, a city in Western Bohemia, from 1860 to the end of the First Czechoslovak Republic in 1938. The aim is to show several ‘proposals’ of the identity and to examine why some of them won and other vanished. The author is therefore seeking the answer to the question how is the urban identity formed, why is it gaining support (and vice versa), who articulates it and where lies the main legitimization. This is all happening during complex social processes. In 1938, Pilsen was town renown for its industry and it was home to many political and nationalist organizations. However, industrialization (or generally speaking modernization), modern nationalism and mass political movements were quite weak or even absent in 1860. Urban identity was to a certain extent formed by these processes. Black Pilsen was associated with the industry, Red Pilsen with the socialist movement and Loyal Pilsen with the nationalist movement. But we should not think of it as a mechanical process, meanings could change and do. Identity, self-understanding and self-projection, is not independent of the will and abilities of people. The method of this article could thus be compared to a dialogue, dialogue between Czechs and Germans, between the political parties, between the elites and their clients, between the region and the center. It could be one-sided dialogue, but dialogue still.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: options and threats on a local level policy formulation, especially in a phase of its formulation through declared priorities created by stakeholders. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: unclear relation between stakeholders and their hierarchy in the case, and unknown options how to improve examination process between them; about method, content analysis is used in the defined case (case study). THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: starts with content analysis of all documents about public transportation in Pilsen, continues with stakeholder relation analysis and summarizing patterns of public policy creation which depict possible problems – options how to solve them followed. RESEARCH RESULTS: there is a mutual harmony of public transport documents in Pilsen, but it depends on one stakeholder without proper rule to make the final decision in policy formulation; research options could be focus on informal practises; there could be problem with a lack of information if the whole policy is depended on one stakeholder (analytically informant), who do not want to participate. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: to combine formal information in examined documents with adding informal perceptions of stakeholders (non-structured interviews are recommended); to distinguish stakeholders with direct decision making power from those, who “only” prepare strategies; to focus on agenda setting of those stakeholders that prepare strategies – they formulate problem, so they create policy informally.

The article deals with the reception of the liberation of Pilsen in local periodical. The liberation of Pilsen and the end of the World War II was celebrated in the whole region. This event and the following stay of U.S. Army in Czechoslovakia was closely followed by Czechoslovakian press – especially local periodicals. The newspapers concentrated not only on the military and political consequences of this process but also on the relations between the soldiers and the common civilian population. They also reflected the celebrations of the liberation and the cultural events connected with the presence of the Americans in Pilsen.

The fact that Pilsen was liberated by the American army affected the lives of the inhabitants of the West Bohemia considerably. The relations of the Czechoslovak civilian population with the U.S. soldiers were generally good. Both nationalities organized various cultural events and participated on the restoration of the war-damaged city. This progress is depicted on the pages of contemporary Czechoslovak and American press, which informed about the important events of the stay of the American army in Pilsen. The other topics of the article are especially the question of the Škoda Works, which was visited several times by the Allied authorities, and the stance of American military leadership toward Pilsen and Czechoslovakia.

Although the blue-green infrastructure is a matter widely discussed in several disciplines such as urban planning, landscape architecture, water management, climatology and nature conservation, use of the term itself remains infrequent in Czech contexts and has no unanimous definition. Foreign sources also use compromise terms, such as blue-greengrey infrastructure, hybrid infrastructure and mixed infrastructure, which has to do with the fact that some elements of rainwater management imitate natural processes (e.g. infiltration and evapotranspiration) but, in fact, are implemented as artificial elements in accordance with technical standards. This example from the city of Pilsen presents a thematic analysis of planning documents related to blue-green infrastructure. As the analysis of Pilsen’s planning documents illustrates, tools for climate change adaptation and efficient use of rainwater are gaining ground and amenity functions of urban water (recreational, social, aesthetic, cultural) are supported in synergy of an ideal city sensitive to water. It is necessary to acknowledge that the objectives and tools of specific levels of water management in cities are cumulated in the course of events, meaning that they can be planned only with a multidisciplinary approach. In this respect, Czech practice is usually at the level of sectoral planning.

In this respect, Czech practice is usually at the level of sectoral planning. As one of the approaches to blue-green infrastructure planning, this article presents a methodology of ecohydrological assessment of urban landscape micro-structures. The categorization of spatial units is based on possible stipulation of several parameters of ecohydrological characteristics for types of elementary areas (e.g. infiltration, evapotranspiration, outflow) and other parameters for functional spatial units called micro-structures (such as typical levels of outflow contamination and climate characteristics). These parameters can be based on the standardization of values, so expressing reference values for regulations, e.g. greenery coefficients such as the Biotope Area Factor for new housing development. At the level of urban landscape micro-structures, water management can be better arranged in decentralized units than in elementary areas. A model study on the centre of the city of Pilsen has delimited 481 micro-structure units of various types. Besides absolute comparison, ecohydrological classification makes it possible to discern quality of micro-structures of the same type, e.g. in order to identify where improvements are needed in the blocks of Pilsen’s city centre. The maps show different ecohydrological characteristics of street corridors in whole street profile because they are analysed as independent units, separate from the blocks. The accuracy of the classification of micro-structures depends on the quality of input data and can form the basis of plan-based development of blue-green infrastructure.

Přestože se o tématech modro-zelené infrastruktury u nás diskutuje v rámci různých oborů, nemá tento termín v praxi zatím jednotné vymezení. Jak ilustruje rozbor plánovacích dokumentů Plzně, aktuálně se v této souvislosti prosazují nástroje adaptace na klimatickou změnu a efektivní využití dešťové vody, často ve vztahu k veřejným prostranstvím. Jako jeden z přístupů k plánování modro-zelené infrastruktury je představena metodika ekohydrologického hodnocení mikrostruktur městské krajiny. Kategorizace územních jednotek vychází z možností stanovení některých parametrů ekohydrologických vlastností pro typy elementárních ploch a dalších parametrů pro funkční prostorové jednotky, které nazýváme mikrostruktury. Použití této metodiky ukazuje modelové zpracování centrální oblasti města Plzně, kde bylo vymezeno a hodnoceno 481 jednotek mikrostruktur různých typů.

The former German Bohemian minority that lived in the city of Pilsen (in Czech: Plzeň) and the West Bohemian district of Mies (Stříbro) until the forced resettlement in 1945/46, remains an almost blank spot in the context of research on Germans in the Bohemian lands. In this article, contributions from the journal „Mies-Pilsner Heimatbrief“ from 1950 are analysed and considered for the first time as a source type for the topic mentioned. The following questions were investigated: Which language varieties did the German residents of the city of Pilsen and the rural Mieser area use? Which language attitudes towards dialect and standard language did they represent? And what was the significance of dialect for their identity? These questions are dealt with by way of example using a dialect debate in the aforementioned monthly. In the second year of the magazine, a letter to the editor called for the publication of dialect stories to be stopped. In the following three editions, five other readers speak up, who vehemently contradict this demand and explain why dialect texts and dialect as such are valuable in their opinion. A native Pilsener even partially phrased his letter to the editor in his native dialect. In a brief analysis, this text turns out to be in northern Bavarian dialect, or in Egerland dialect, as he calls it. In addition to these structural linguistic investigations, the arguments used in letters to the editor to reject or approve dialect (texts) are considered from a sociolinguistic point of view. In this way we also learn something about the identity of the West Bohemian expellees. On the one hand, the arguments are of a general nature, such as that the dialect represents the “actual mother tongue”. On the other hand, the specific situation after the expulsion is discussed, in which the dialect represents „a piece of home“ in the foreign country for the Sudeten Germans. This intangible cultural heritage of the homeland should therefore continue to be cultivated and passed on to the next generation. At the end of the last letter to the editor, the editor of the magazine finally announced that texts in the dialect of Western Bohemia should continue to be printed in the future.
