Public transport in the Czech Republic in relation to sustainable development
Holčák, Ondřej ; Nováček, Pavel (advisor) ; Nachtmannová, Marta (referee)
This thesis is trying to describe and analyze main obstacles in area of decisionmaking on the way to solve the issue of sustainable transport in the Czech Republic, with putting an emphasis on public transport system. In this work are used specific methods which are typical for policy analysis. In general, in transport can be identified a couple of problems like local air pollution, increasing amount of CO2, noise pollution, congestions, traffic accidents or social cohesion negative effects. Public policy has instruments how to solve this problem, which are involved in strategic documents, but in fact the main obstacle is the lack of political will to realize that. It is important that stakeholders should adopt public transport as its priority, which is a concept that is essential for sustainable development to improve the living conditions of society.

Transformation of the Czech foreign development cooperation
Fidlerová, Tereza ; Nováček, Pavel (advisor) ; Kalous, Jaroslav (referee)
Diploma thesis "Transformation of the Czech foreign development cooperation" deals with current change of the system of Czech development cooperation. The original system was too fragmented and ineffective. Responsibility for development projects was divided amongst departmental ministries as well as the budget for development cooperation. The system was complicated and needed to be improved. This thesis notes what made the system ineffective and how and by whom the process of transformation was started. That means it maps what has already been changed and what still has to be changed. In the process of transformation the neglected suggestions given by Development Assistance Committee DAC/OECD, evaluating the Czech development cooperation in 2006 - 2007, are uncovered. Consequently, remarks of Czech experts on development cooperation on what else needs to be paid more attention to are included. In conclusion, all observations and suggestions are summarized and scenarios of the Czech development cooperation are created.

Ways of sustainability measurement at the regional level
Kramulová, Jana ; Macháček, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Švihlová, Dana (referee) ; Nováček, Pavel (referee)
This thesis deals with ways of sustainability measurement at the regional level. In the theoretical part apart from definition and evolution of the concept related fields and different approaches to sustainable development are presented. Further, data sources and suitable characteristics of ideal indicators are discussed. In the application part methods applicable to measuring sustainable development along with restraints and possible problematic areas are introduced. Subsequently, these methods are applied to individual regional levels according to CZ-NUTS classification (NUTS 1 to NUTS 3 levels and LAU 1 and LAU 2 levels). At the end of the thesis, the most suitable techniques of results' presentation are introduced. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate and assess the ways of practical use of mainly quantitative methods (statistical methods and modelling techniques) for analysis and measurement of regional development sustainability and to suggest the most convenient methods for individual regional levels. The thesis answers three research questions: if one method is useful for all "regional" levels; if it is better to assess sustainability from the point of view of pillar or capital approach; and finally, if it is for measuring of sustainability more proper one summarizing (composite) indicator or indicators' set including more indicators.
