Zlín FCK Technology
Matuška, Martin ; Pecka, Lukáš (referee) ; Štěpán, Marek (advisor)
The assignment of the final diploma thesis was the design of an urban structure of a multifunctional nature on the territory of a brownfield in Zlín – in a regional part Malenovice. The subject of the proposal was to react ingeniously to the surrounding context and at the same time to apply knowledge from the pre-diploma project, which analyzed the use of sustainable materials in housing construction. The assignment then smoothly transitioned into the specific design of one apartment building. The goal was to create pragmatic affordable housing that would reduce overall operating costs and create a quality indoor environment through the appropriate use of building materials and constructions. Finally, the work deals with urban, architectural, dispositional and construction solutions. It also offers several technical and constructional details of various scales. The assignment was specific in a certain way and there were several ways to deal with it. The proposed solution tries to open up a discussion about the appropriate filling of an empty lot and at the same time opens the topic of elementary dispositions and forms.

Petržalka - a sustainable city
Pružincová, Mária ; Pech, Zbyněk (referee) ; Kopáčik, Gabriel (advisor)
The entire world is trying to achieve carbon neutrality. Mitigation measures and carbon footprint compensations are the top topics of political summits in a developed society. However, if we want to think about future generations, we must talk about sustainability. How can we achieve carbon neutrality in a sustainable way, so that the steps we take have a long-term positive impact and are not just temporary patches on a leaky system? We have long known that it is not enough to install solar panels on roofs. It is not enough to build new neighbourhoods based on a modern low-emission principle. We must primarily focus on the development of what we have already built and into which we have already invested a considerable amount of energy and resources. Panel housing estates are a specific settlement structure that has become an integral part of the image of the cities in our region. Prefabrication resulted in typified elements and objects that are their characteristic manifestation, but each housing estate also has its unmistakable specifics. The development of Petržalka was unregulated for a long time. While new neighbourhoods with thousands of new residents were emerging on the periphery, the development of the inner city, with a few exceptions, stagnated. This area hides the greatest potential. Discussions about the fate of panel housing estates have shifted from radical humanisation through their sanitation to the preservation of their architectural values. Today we must move even further. In times of climate crisis and resource scarcity, it is essential to also think about sustainability and reducing global warming. The Sustainable Development Manual aims to create a set of measures that will lead the Petržalka locality Dvory IV to environmentally and socially sustainable development. The proposed measures are the result of analytical work based on qualitative research and a search of professional literature. The cornerstone of the manual is the identification of the problems of the area under consideration. I defined the problems based on observations and interviews with residents in situ. To gain a deeper perspective in solving the identified problems, I discussed with experts whose specialisation is related to the given topic.

Company performance in the context of sustainable investment criteria
KŘEPELA, Vojtěch
Sustainability is gaining increasing relevance. Consumers are influenced by sustainability when making purchasing decisions. On the other hand, sustainability enhances competitiveness for companies. Yet, with the recent introduction of non-financial reporting obligations by the European Union, this topic is evolving. Companies now risk sanctions for failing to submit these reports, encountering challenges in securing loans, among other consequences. The thesis aims to assess a company's economic performance in the context of sustainability and sustainable investment. Sub-goals include compiling non-financial reports and showcasing a particular sustainable investment made by the selected company. The economic performance of the company was evaluated using financial analysis methods based on the company's financial statements. Despite some fluctuations in financial indicators, no concerning results were found for the company. Non-financial sustainability reports based on the ESRS methodology were proposed at work based on personal communication. Additionally, a sustainable investment project in the form of a 529 kWp photovoltaic power plant was further introduced at work. This plant provided financial benefits to the analyzed company through energy savings and revenue from electricity sales. Furthermore, it positively contributed to the environmental performance and sustainability of the company.

Evaluation of possibility of modifying selected part of public lighting network for EV charging
Hýsek, David ; Vrána, Michal (referee) ; Baxant, Petr (advisor)
The master thesis deals with the concept of smart cities in the context of motivation for the use of the synergy of public lighting network and charging points. The thesis provides an overview of projects from the Czech Republic and abroad focusing on the adaptation of the urban public lighting network for charging electric vehicles. Different variants of charging station installations and their management are discussed. Another important topic is the selection of a suitable location for charging stations and the concept of synergistic connection of these stations with the existing public lighting network. The thesis proposes scenarios for using the existing public lighting network for charging electric vehicles and scenarios for bringing a parallel cable to this network in selected Brno locations. The aim is to optimize the efficiency and performance of the public lighting network and at the same time provide a charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. The results of the thesis represent a valuable contribution to urban planning and the development of smart cities that focus on sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility. The synergy between the public lighting network and charging points represents a potential for efficient use of infrastructure in the urban environment while contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Reclaiming traditions
Drevenáková, Natália ; Tamásová, Alexandra (referee) ; Klodová, Lenka (advisor)
The "Reclaiming Traditions" project is a comprehensive artistic endeavor that deals with the reinterpretation of Slovak tradition and its cultural elements, specifically the tradition of May 1st - Building the Maypole. This need arises from the personal experience of the author as a queer individual growing up in Slovakia, where queer beings do not have their legitimate place in public space. This transformation takes place within the realms of feminism, ecofeminism, and queer ecology. A part of the project involves the creation of monuments in public spaces, symbolizing a new approach to non-binary perception of nature and the importance of participation. The project evolves through several phases, from the creation of sculptural objects, tapestries, and outdoor installations to happenings. Each phase includes textile linen waste produced by the author during clothing design. This waste is utilized in various project phases (tapestries, hammocks, recycled residues in soil) and in the final thesis phase, as recycled yarn from recycled remnants of linen and wool for crocheting punching bags, representing circlusion. The inspiration for formal transformation is the neologism "CIRCLUSION" coined by German feminist and political writer Bini Adamczak, which is a female act against the male act of penetration. Circlusion (encirclement) denotes active surrounding. The project also reflects on questions of gender, sexual dominance, and ecological responsibility in the context of art in public space and community.

Slow tourism
HAŠKOVÁ, Michala
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to define slow tourism and clarify how this form of tourism differs from other forms and what benefits it has compared to mass tourism. This work is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part deals with defining tourism, sustainability in tourism and the positive and negative impacts that tourism brings. The work then focuses more closely on slow tourism itself, on its definition and the emergence of this form of tourism, as well as on the requirements that destinations should meet in order to be suitable for slow tourism. Furthermore, the work examines the potential for the development of slow tourism in the Czech Republic and deals with the only destination in the Czech Republic that focuses on slow tourism, namely Orlické hory and Podorlicko. At the end of the analytical part, there is a proposal for a new slow destination. The practical part uses research based on data from questionnaires, it was distributed in electronic form and then each question is processed graphically and commented.
