The aim of the thesis is to uncover the motif of "doubled" protection of nature and to find out, how nature protection differs from other occupancies. I apply the biographical method of research in the form of personal interview. Revealed data are analysed according to the grounded theory method. For data collection I use triangulation method. Concerning the sampling methods, I combine the random sampling and the snowball sampling technique.

The nature of work executed in the nongovernmental organisation is just in the field...

Blažková, Eva ; Rynda, Ivan (advisor) ; Kulich, Jiří (referee)
The subject of my Diploma work on the theme "Eco - Counselling of industrial, distressed area" is the analyse of selected Eco - Counselling places located in the Czech Republic and creation of general models of those. The results of this analyze are followed in the next part of this work. Subsequently the teoretical model of Eco - Counselling for the region of Chomutov is proposed. For that purpose, the study of the conditions and characteristics of this locality is utilized. As for this work, there are following investigative questions: 1) Which models of Eco - Counselling provided in Czech Republic are free of charge? 2) Which model of Eco - Counselling place corresponds with the demand of Chomutov region? (concerning the other characteristics of the region). The essential method for this work is Case Studies, which draw from the methods of anylysis of the Annual Reports. The benefit of this work is the typology of Eco - Counselling practice in the Czech Republic and subsequently it stresses and explains the relation with the particular region (certain types correspond with certain environment). As well the work proposes dynamic model of Eco - Counselling for the Chomutov region.

Possibilities of Participative Evaluation.
Vondráková, Renata ; Rynda, Ivan (advisor) ; Bergerová, Marcela (referee)
This work is based on a research thesis that says, in the case of long or mid-term processes that deal with a wide land area or large amount of people, non-participatory evaluations can have even a negative influence on watched process or its impacts, because it doesn't cover them all. The Methodology being used is mainly an exploration of facts in foreign literature, which is being added with the authors own experiences. This work introduces Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation (PM&E) as an unfamiliar concept in Czech Republic. It aims to describe the evaluation as an integral part of projects or programs. This work details several concerning obstacles while using participatory evaluation while also offering descriptions on how to use this approach in practice, including offering an overview of methods and techniques most currently used. Based on interviews with 16 experts it suggests also a possible way of using this concept in Czech Republic with the example of Local Action Groups in LEADER.
