Světlý, Josef ; Pokorný, Jiří (advisor) ; Franková, Martina (referee)
Municipality and environmental protection from the legal point of view Abstract The main goal of this work is to show the importance of the role of municipalities in the processes of environmental protection. As should be clear from the work, the field of environmental protection has recently undergone quite dynamic development, both in the legislative and case law, and municipalities are forced to respond to this development. The content of the first chapter is the definition of the concept of the environment and the subjective right of natural and legal persons to a favorable environment, especially with regard to the problems that have arisen in connection with the question of whether the subjective right to a favorable environment also belongs to legal persons. Part of the first chapter is also a comparison of the Czech constitutional regulation with the legislatives of some other European democracies, which concludes the success of our constitutional regulation. The second chapter describes municipalities as subjects of state administration, their division and the main purpose of the second chapter is to distinguish between independent and delegated powers. The second chapter also points out the fact that the role of the municipality as a procedural subject is divided into three areas and these areas,...

Environmental policy instruments in the Czech Republic
Bavšenkov, Sabina ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Franková, Martina (referee)
Environmental policy instruments in the Czech Republic This thesis deals with environmental policy instruments and related issues. In the introduction I analyze in general what the environment is and what role it plays in our life and its importance for life, then also by short historical excursion and also by the very definition of what is the environment and also the environmental policy itself. A large part is occupied by environmental policy actors that are an integral part of this area, as it would not be possible to carry out environmental policy without them. I divide them into state and non-state, among which the main difference is especially in volunteering. I describe their activities and examples of using individual tools in their performance. An important part is also an insight into the international area in the field of international environmental conferences as well as the European Union action plans. This section presents a brief overview of the development of international conferences on environment and sustainable development. Then, in the European Union, I am analyzing the last seventh action program in detail. Last but not least, it is also the State Environmental Policy of the Czech Republic as an important strategic document defining the further direction of the development of...

Rybář, Robin ; Žákovská, Karolina (advisor) ; Franková, Martina (referee)
LAND SERVITUDES AND THEIR RECORDING IN THE LAND REGISTER - ABSTRACT The diploma thesis focuses on land servitudes, a type of property rights that bears the utmost importance. The essence of land servitudes is an obligation of an owner of land to ab- stain from doing something or to tolerate certain activities performed by an owner of other land. Land servitudes are an ancient legal institute dating as far back as the law of Ancient Rome. The essence of the institute has remained the same, but the legislation has undergone several changes over the centuries. Individual aspects of this legal institute are examined in the thesis, starting with the cre- ation of land servitudes, leading on to their content and ending with their extinction. The clas- sification of servitudes as rights in rem is taken into account and the legal consequences of this placements are deduced. Attention is primarily paid to the content and scope of servitudes, to individual means of acquiring a servitude and their creation, to legal relations arising from ser- vitudes, to the protection of servitudes and to the extinction of servitudes. A significant part of the thesis deals with particular types of land servitudes listed by the Civil Code. The subject of land servitudes is completed by the issue of recording land servitudes in the...

Caves and their legal protection
Chvátalová, Eva ; Franková, Martina (referee)
This diploma thesis aims at Czech legislation related to conservation of caves both in terms of its link to the protection of caves as subterranean spaces and parts of the natural environment and of its relation to other fields of expertise, including legal studies (e.g., mining law) and other disciplines (e.g., geology, carsology). First, our attention is paid to definition of the term "cave" and to links of the term to natural sciences. Further, we analyse the development of legal conservation of caves and approaches to caves as a subject of legislation per se. The example of Slovenia - being a prominent speleological country with recognized legislation in terms of its quality and detail - is used in order to compare Czech approaches to cave conservation. Concerning the practical issues, we present an example of conservation effort devoted to one single cave in Czechia, which enables to describe functioning of legal conservation tools, including the themes where these tools overlap. We also present and discuss the only one Czech case-law dealing with the legal aspect of caves.
