Abstract
The main goal of our article is to present unusual ways of geographical teaching at universities (with case study from Institute of Geography). The discursus is led in the example of two semestral courses - Sustainability and Urban & rural studies. Both courses are mainly maintained by A. Hynek. The aim of each course lies in teaching students how to recognize spatial patterns and possible environmental, social, economical, political, cultural and other threads/structures of landscape by studying the research area from its internal base. The whole training cycle could be considered as project and its output is presented in the relationship to local communities (with respect to shareholders, stakeholders, decision-makers, experts (outside and inside), actors/actants etc.). Studied area of the project training varies in each semester depends on current research project. All projects are situated in South Moravia. This article also refers to some existing projects. The latest research is being done in rural area (covering parts situated in North from Brno), where three villages (Lipůvka, Lažany, Újezd) have been selected for farther studying. Recent outputs from this research would be presented as a case study at the final part of our paper.
