Vašák, Viktor ; Khendriche Trhlínová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Kouřilová, Jana (referee)
As the time goes by, one former Czech-Slovak territory has separated, forming two independent republics and members of European union. Division of common territory by a border, however, cannot affect cultural and linguistic proximity, which can be clearly identified in cross-border regions. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the cooperation amongst six regions located near mutual border during 2007-2013 period. By the means of publicly available content, an analysis of allocation of financial resources from ERDF and national budgets is executed. The qualitative evaluation of cross-border cooperation projects is delivered by the proposal of matrix for territorial impact assessment. According to percentual fulfillment of given goals, impact on barrier effect reduction and selected projects analysis, the overall added value of cross-border cooperation between Czech and Slovak republic during 2007-2013 period is specified. Main findings are then a result of combination of qualitative analysis and quantitative indicators for the researched period.

Analysis of role of the EU outermost regions within their country and within their development funding from EU Structural funds
Vaculík, Jan ; Pělucha, Martin (advisor) ; Kouřilová, Jana (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to identify basic characteristics related to position of the outermost regions of the member states of the EU within EU development policies. These regions are evaluated from the point of view including allocated funding within Structural Funds (SF) and European Structural and Investments Funds during the programming periods of 2000-2006, 2007-2013, and 2014-2020, content of the operational programmes, and basic economic indicators. The outermost regions shows lower values of GDP per capita than European regions of the same country while showing higher allocated funding per capita than the European regions of the same country. The outermost regions also shows constantly growing GDP per capita at least from 2000 while the SF and ESIF allocated funding for the regions decreases. These findings are predictable. Interesting finding is that while the regional GDP of the outermost regions increases investments efforts do not shift towards soft projects. The investments efforts show steadily hard project implementation activities and increasing ratio of environmental projects, which are mostly hard projects. This finding creates space for improving concept of more developed regions focusing of soft projects and less developed regions focusing on hard projects.

Jaroš, Michal ; Kouřilová, Jana (advisor) ; Pělucha, Martin (referee)
The diploma thesis is focused on human capital influence on regional development and regional competitiveness. The goal is to evaluate influence of educational structure on development indicators in regions of the Czech Republic. In the theoretical part are found chapters dedicated to: definition of human capital, investments in human capital and its influence on socio-economic sphere. The practical part is focused on analysis of relation between educational sphere and indicators of the regional development, such as: net disposable income per capita, gross domestic product per capita, economic activity rate, unemployment rate, criminality rate and rate of violent crime. In case of net disposable income per capita and gross domestic product per capita was found correlation. The education structure has an impact on these macroeconomic indicators. Regarding economic activity rate and criminality rate, there was found a correlation but much less intensive than expected. In the last group of indicators, unemployment rate and rate of violent crime, there was not found any correlation whatsoever. In the practical part of the thesis was also examine that massive education is not an effective solution and an answer in case of solving all regional development problems. As much as important education is, without effective use of it this potential stays only as a potential and not as an output.
