Subsidy importance in rural development (Chanovice, Pačejov, Myslív and Velký Bor)
Koláříková, Markéta ; Kocmánková Menšíková, Lucie (advisor) ; Pavel, Pavel (referee)
The main goal of the study was to find out and compare the significance of the received subsidies in the development of Chanovice, Pačejov, Myslív and Velký Bor villages. My work in the first place dealt with subsidies as an important part of a village income and as a tool for their development.
The theoretical part is based on the study of special literature and other relevant sources relating to the examined issues. Attention is given to regional development, within which the two programming periods (2007 2013 and 2014 2020) are compared and also the financing of villages.
The knowledge gained in the theoretical part are followed by secondary data analysis, in which it was found that the received subsidies hold an important position in the structure of Chanovice and Pačejov village incomes in the two other villages that position is not so important. Thanks to received subsidies in the period 2007 2013 the villages implemented a lot of developing projects, either infrastructural (most Pačejov village) or other (especially Chanovice village) character. In the framework of the infrastructure based projects all municipalities used the subsidies to build and repaire their water and transport infrastructures. Another field where the municipalities aimed the subsidies was field of education.
Based on semi-structured interviews with mayors of selected villages the empirical part of my work was worked out afterward. The mayors share the opinion that the village development especially the development connected with infrastructure, the subsidies are necessary, but the way to obtain them is very difficult and costly for the small villages

Dutá, Sára ; Kocmánková Menšíková, Lucie (advisor) ; David, David (referee)
This thesis deals with comparing the two health systems, the differences between the quality of medical care in the Czech Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany, and more specifically with the individual physician access to the patient. The thesis explains in the theoretical part the basic concepts relating to the topic of health (the value of health and its determinants, lifestyle, prevention, illness, disease, health care, health care system and health policy) further discusses the Czech and German health care system and compares them basic structure, where the most fundamental difference is the difference of the German health system, which is divided into two levels, national and federal. The thesis also studies the role of the doctor and patient and the relationship between them. Secondary and comparative data analysis of the differences in health care in the Czech Republic and Germany showed that respondents are with care and physician access to the patient rather satisfied in Germany, although there are also drawbacks. Data obtained through semi-structured interviews show that views on health care varies according to the number of years spent in Germany (respondents who lived in Germany for example for 15 years, had with the local health care more experiences). Almost all interviewees seem to agree that the difference in health care in these countries is due to the differences in funds that are spent on health care. Annually put Germany on Health care about 11, 6% of GDP, of which 76.8% are public funds. On health care in the Czech Republic it is 7.5% of GDP. Participation in the payment of health care in the Czech Republic was 15.8%, Germany 23.5%. From the data obtained suggests that the quality of care affects the confidence in it and the need to treat the patient.

Slivanská, Jana ; Kocmánková Menšíková, Lucie (advisor) ; Boukalová, Kateřina (referee)
This thesis deals with participants of local development. The aim of the thesis was to find out activities of micro-region CHOPOS. This micro-region is an actor in local development and the aim of this thesis is to monitor its activities. The thesis is focused on finding out how local actors contribute to the development of the site in accordance with the principle of an endogenous approach to development.
The theoretical part defines terms related to the issue of regional development. The findings of a secondary analysis of projects micro-region CHOPOS shows that the highest total costs of the projects for the period 2001-2008 were in 2003 (7,903 419 CZK). Most projects implemented by LEADER for the period 2007-2013 and implemented by the municipality Postupice and Teplýšovice, both municipalities made two projects (Postupice 1,529,961 CZK and Teplýšovice 1,033,657 CZK). Teplýšovice realized the most of the projects for the period 2001-2008, a total of 21 (with a value of 6,857,826 CZK).
Evaluated data from semi-structured interviews with mayors of micro-region CHOPOS shows that all the mayors see nothing but benefits in membership in the micro-region. And all other municipalities consider as rather active. Actors considered the most successful project of lookout of Špulka. These interviews were also found reason for the subsequent entry into the union one of the municipalities. The reason was indecision of council.

The effect of intelligent transport systems to increase the safety of inhabitants of villages (Libkov, Rozvadov, Kašperské Hory)
Sedlák, František ; Kocmánková Menšíková, Lucie (advisor) ; Zewdie, Retta (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to determine how Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) affects road safety and thereby contributes to increase the safety and quality of life in selected villages (Libkov, Rozvadov, Kašperské Hory) of Pilsen region. The theoretical part contains basic concepts of regional development and policy with a focus on road traffic, quality of life and safety of the population, and also description of devices which can be used as means to calm traffic and improve the safety of the population. Empirical part was done by developing a secondary analysis of data on accidents in road traffic and the impact of ITS on the safety of residents in selected villages. Secondary data analysis of the ITS revealed, that the main causes of drivers accidents in the Czech Republic (from 2014) are considered to be bad driving (62.9%) and speeding (17.5%). Libkov, Rozvadov and Kašperské Hory belong to project "Peaceful Border Areas", which aims to reduce speed on municipal roads and thus increase the safety of population in the villages using installed SYDO Traffic Zeus speed indicators. Thanks to the evaluation of these ITS has been found that in selected villages vehicles slowed down on average by 38.6%, leading to increased road safety and improved quality of life in Libkov, Rozvadov and Kašperské Hory villages.

The significance of subsidies in the municipality development (Bobnice, Hořátev, Kovanice, Krchleby)
Krausová, Aneta ; Kocmánková Menšíková, Lucie (advisor) ; Petr, Petr (referee)
The main aim of the thesis was to determine the significance of the subsidies for development of the municipality in Kovanice and surrounding municipalities (Bobnice, Hořátev, Krchleby). This thesis was primarily dealing with economy of villages Bobnice, Hořátev, Kovanice and Krchleby. Further, their indebtedness, which was caused by self-financing of large projects for which the subsidy was later received.
The theoretical part is based on the studying of scientific literature (czech and foreign) sources and resources related to this issue. In this section there are defined the basic facts of regional development, compared two programming periods (2007-2013 and 2014-2020) and explained the issue of municipal financing and structure of municipal budgets.
In a secondary analysis, it was found that the efforts of municipalities for their own development implemented by subsidies leads to their indebtedness. Indebtedness of villages grew most in the period 2008 - 2010, when there was a significant increase in the volume of investments co-financed from the regional and national resources.
In the empirical part is described implementation the individual interviews with four mayors. They agree that if the community does not have enough money in the municipal budget, then the loan is inevitable alternative for the realization of projects that help in development of the municipality and its attractiveness. On the other hand, they add that the repayment of principal and interest on the loan, the village development reaches a plateau.

Participants in local development (Kácov, Chlum, Tichonice, Kladruby)
Jirků, Markéta ; Kocmánková Menšíková, Lucie (advisor) ; Pavel, Pavel (referee)
The main aim of this thesis is to compare and evaluate the importance of social activities, whether and how it contributes to quality and to the development of local life and local communities in the surveyed municipalities Chlum, Tichonice and Kladruby (municipalities under three hundred inhabitants) and compare the social activity of these municipalities with the thee times bigger township Kácov. The aim of this thesis is to find out the reason why smaller municipalities under three hundred inhabitants appear to be
as active as the larger township. The theoretical part defines the terminology related to the topic. The empirical part of the work consists of secondary and comparative data analysis of actors, activities, and community amenities. Secondary and comparative data analysis showed that social life in small municipalities is varied and rich especially
in entertainment, cultural and sport activities. Compared to the bigger township there is less folklore and education activities in smaller municipalities. It was found that the most active municipality is Kladruby with the activity ratio to population of 5,3%, followed by Tichonice with 3,6%, township Kácov with 3,3% and Chlum with 3%. It came out that there is not a direct correlation between the number of actors and social activity of the municipality. The activity of individual actors is different. It means that it is not the truth, that the more groups of actors are in the municipality, the more activities are held by the actors in the municipality. It was found that township Kácov disposes with the most diverse community amenities. Despite of a noticeable impact of community amenities on regularity of organizing activities, this factor is not the only condition for organizing activities. Deficiencies in community amenities can be partially replaced by well-functioning common organizing activities by actors, what is the factor what differentiate smaller municipalities from the large township. Exogenous approach was, over the last ten years, evident in all of the examined municipalities. There was obtained and invested financial resources to the municipalities community amenities, which allowed organizing new activities or continuing with organizing of existing activities. The empirical survey was carried out through semi-structured interviews with the actors operating in the public and nonprofit sector in the examined municipalities. A key factor in the activity organizing is community involvement connected with the mutual cooperation of individual actors (i.e. a combination of utilization of actor´s cultural and social capital). Smaller municipalities may not seem, to the interviewees actors, as active as three times bigger township. Reasons why smaller municipalities may seem as active as the larger township are more significant community involvement and a higher rate
of cooperation between actors in organizing activities in smaller communities. The social life plays an important role in all of the examined communities - especially in creating
and maintaining interpersonal relationships, in strengthening social cohesion, preserving the traditions and creating the relationship with the place. It was found and confirmed how important endogenous approach (active actor) in development of examined communities is. With the proper supplementation and harmonization with exogenous approach
can be the endogenous approach further stimulated.

Importance of marking foods in the Czech republic
Průšová, Monika ; Kocmánková Menšíková, Lucie (advisor) ; Klouček, Pavel (referee)
The Bachelor Thesis is focused on the marking foods on the Czech market and on its importance for the 3rd year students who study Public relations and Regional development, at the Czech University of Life Sciences. The main aim of theoretical part is to peruse the most important matters concerning about regional development, food and its social importance, and introduce the legal framework of the Czech law and the main regional documents which are related to this subject.. The aim for secondary data analysis is to find a context between the legal framework, the main regional documents and the subject matter. Comparison from the both analysis shows the main regional documents do not focus on the subject matter in that range as the Czech law does. The legal framework in Czech law has two main laws that deals with subject matter and determine duties for providing marks and producing safe foods. Another mentioned laws can be described as supporting but not less important as they help to define the range of producers and marks´providers´rights and duties as deception and misleading information as forbidden. Secondary data analysis identified a food marking systems on the Czech market. There were identified European system of food marks, National system of food marks and Regional system of food marks. The aim of semi-structured interviews with students was to determine the students´ knowledge and overwiev in the subject matter, to find if marks influent them in the shopping decisions. The number of students is set up on thirty. The empirical research shows 70 % of students perceive the marking food as a marking of a quality. One third of students think the food marks does not bring any benefits and mainly it is good only for producers. By students is known only a fifth of trading marks and it is mainly from the national system of food marks. The food marking does not influent two third of students, the main reason they mention is they do not have enough information about food marks on the Czech market. Comparition of gained data throught semi-structured interviews concludes that the inadequacy of food labeling in the Czech Republic is heading probably to incomplete or inadequate information to consumers on foods marking systems in the country.
