“…Motivation for deliberate non-compliance with this law may be economic profit. Payment of taxes and fees for removing land from the agricultural land fund may be a relevant cause of the owners not officially changing land use in the cadastre, as the annual tax is higher for other areas than for arable land, as was noted by Sláma et al (2018) [53]. The legislative and legal issues in relation to the LU/LC data in the KN, discussed in several places in this paper, would certainly be an interesting subject for interdisciplinary research.…”

Landscape research involves a large number of scientific disciplines. Different disciplinary and scale approaches have led to the creation of numerous land use/land cover databases with different classification nomenclature. It is very important for end-users of databases to know the capabilities and limits of land use/land cover data to avoid potential mistakes resulting from inappropriate combinations and interpretations. In this context, the aim of this study was to evaluate the thematic content of the Urban Atlas database and data from the Czech cadastre of real estate in the Prague metropolitan region between the years 2006 and 2012 with a focus on the meaning of the nomenclature used by both datasets. The data were processed using approaches with different levels of thematic harmonisation and statistical tools to quantify the similarities and differences among the researched data. The methods of comparison used for land use/land cover data with different nomenclature were based on an aggregation approach or modified difference indices (the overall difference index and the sub-index of the difference). The areas with high degrees of dissimilarity and similarity were found and further examined and interpreted. These intentions were documented precisely on the Czech cadastre of real estate and the Urban Atlas databases at two scale levels: 1) an analysis of the whole area of the Prague metropolitan region and 2) a detailed analysis of the selected cadastral units. It was proven that the differences between both datasets are significant and they share certain characteristics. Most of the differences are distributed in the classes of the built-up areas, gardens, and other areas. Smaller differences are characteristic for waterways, agricultural lands, and forests. This study provides relevant information on the evaluated databases with the intention of raising awareness of their limits, strengths, and weaknesses. The results enhance the scientific knowledge about the Urban Atlas and Czech cadastre of real estate databases, thereby facilitating decision-making about the options of their use.

“…As many as one-third of golf courses in the USA are part of a wider residential construction (Crompton, 2004). This trend has been observed in the USA since 1990 and in the Czech Republic, in some aspects, during the post-2000 socioeconomic boom (Sláma et al, 2018a). An example is the Oaks Prague project in the Central Bohemian Region, which includes the construction of a residential network.…”

Millennials are a generation of people who will soon become the main purchasing power. These are people born approximately between 1980 and 2000. The aim of the article is to find out how the shopping of products has changed by millennials in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. We were interested in whether the quantity of purchased products changed during the pandemic and whether the composition of the shopping cart of consumers aged from 22 to 42 years changed. The research was conducted using a questionnaire method. At the end of the article, based on the results of the research, we will propose recommendations for retailers aimed at millennials in case of possible future changes in consumer behaviour due to unexpected situations.
