Renewable Energy Sources as a Part of Energy Transition and a Factor of Landscape Changes
Kronát, Jaromír ; Kučera, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Treml, Václav (referee)
The thesis deals with the process of development of renewable energy resources in Czechia as an important driving force of landscape changes at the beginning of the 21st century. It focuses on the influence of the political power holders on this development which they exercise through power relations and decision-making. The thesis examines the process of renewable energy development in terms of its political anchoring and in terms of spatial distribution of renewable energy facilities in Czechia, and defines its impact on landscape and societal transformations. Using the analysis of public strategic and legislative documents, it is demonstrated what attitudes towards the development of renewable energy sources were adopted by the political power in Czechia and what supportive or restrictive measures were applied to renewable energy sector. The development of renewable energy policy is divided into several phases and its crucial turning points are defined. The extent to which the spatial distribution of renewable energy sources corresponds with the distribution of favourable natural conditions and to which the spatial distribution of renewable energy sources is affected by other especially political and power factors is also clarified. For this purpose, the spatial database of solar powerplants,...
Development of Renewable Energy Sources as a Factor of Landscape Changes: the case of solar power plants
Kronát, Jaromír ; Kučera, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Kašková, Magdalena (referee)
Development of Renewable Energy Sources as a Factor of Landscape Changes: An Example of Solar Power Plants Abstract The bachelor thesis "The Development of Renewable Energy Sources as a Factor of Landscape Changes: The Case of Solar Power Plants" explores the phenomenon of the construction of alternative energy facilities as a major driving force of landscape changes. On the example of photovoltaic power plants it attempts to discuss the significance of the impact of renewable resources on the landscape character and on the values that people attach to landscape. The key part of the thesis is the case study of two sites in photovoltaic power plants. The study involves the analysis of media and public reports about the model areas and a series of interviews with respondents from the groups of concerned actors. The research results show large differences in the evaluation of photovoltaic power between different groups of actors involved. The also groups differ in the level of awareness. The are also different attitudes towards various forms of renewables. Keywords: renewable energy, photovoltaic power plants, landscape.
