Description:
The perception of danger represents a crucial component of everyday life (not only) in the city. The recording of the development of perception of danger in diachronic perspective of the twentieth century, as it reflected in the memory of the female inhabitants of Pilsen, enables to ascertain some changes that reflect the historical development. In its concrete parts, the research focused on the modes of „making“ of the urban space through the perception of danger (mental topography of danger), the perception of danger in general, as wall as the impact of the danger on the everyday life of the inhabitants. The qualitative methodology of the research included the making of mental maps and the half-structured interviews. The informers were nine women of age 80–91 years. For the purpose of presentation of the results of the research that aimed at ascertaining the ways of perceiving danger by the oldest generation of female inhabitants of Pilsen, the twentieth century was divided into several periods that to great degree reflected the political-historical development: the period before the Second World War; the period of the war; after-war period (1945–1960), the 1960s to 1980s and finally the period after the year 1990 up to the present. In the memory of the informers, these periods were characterized partly by differing types of danger (if danger at all) and their varying intensity. The perception of danger (or the absence of danger) was also influenced by the different development of life cycles in cases of concrete women. Besides individual differences, there was crucial influence of the general social development, the development of the city and the technological development, especially the increase of automobile transport and the media of communication.

raný středověk, vrcholný středověk, přemyslovské hradské centrum, městská lokace, západní Čechy, Plzeň, Early Middle Ages, High Middle Ages, Přemyslid stronghold centre, urban siting, West Bohemia, and Plzeň - Pilsen
Language:

Description:
Hrad Plzeň byl v 10.–13. stol. ústředím přemyslovské správy západních Čech. Kolem roku 1295 byly centrální funkce přeneseny do nově založeného, 10 km vzdáleného města Nové Plzně. Studie bilancuje přínos více než sto let probíhajících archeologických výzkumů pro poznání struktury a vývoje raně a vrcholně středověké Staré Plzně. Největší pozornost je věnována nově získaným indiciím plánovitě založeného města, které bylo připojeno ve 2. pol. 13. stol. ke staršímu osídlení v podhradí a které bylo z velké části opuštěno po založení Nové Plzně. and In the 10th-13th centuries, hillfort Pilsen (Plzeň) was the centre of Přemyslid administration in West Bohemia. Around 1295 its functions were translated to newly-founded town New Pilsen 10 km away. This study assesses the results of more than a hundred years of ongoing archaeological investigation in terms of an understanding of the structures and development of this Early and High Medieval settlement of Old Pilsen. The greatest attention is devoted to newly-recovered indicators of the planned foundation of the borough that in the second half of the 13th century was appended to the earlier colony beneath a Přemyslid stronghold, and which was in large measure abandoned after the foundation of the town New Pilsen.
