Reducing the concentration of toxic metals in the Litavka stream - evaluation of the remediation effectivity
Štíchová, Alena ; Šimek, Pavel (advisor) ; Faturíková, Dagmara (referee)
High concentration of toxic metal in soil and in water is threat for all areas that are affected in such a way. It negatively influence ecosystems of the areas and it is dangerous for health and lives of people.
A region of this characteristics is an area of former mining and smelting company in Březové Hory in Příbram. Contamination of soil, surface-water and underground water was caused by long-term mining of polymetallic ores that had been going since Medieval period. The smelting process also had significant influence. After the end of the mining and the related processes, it was necessary to deal with its negative impact to the region.
The goal of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of measures which was realized as part of a remediation and redevelopment of the area. The reparative measures was aimed to decrease ecological risk in river Litavka and its surroundings. Leaching of toxic metals from rock environment by infiltration of atmospheric precipitation is the main source of pollution. The remediation and recultivation consisted of removal of buildings which belonged to former factory for processing of ores, including remediation and recultivation of this grounds and pile with mining waste from mine called Vojtěch and his forefield. New earth with appropriate physical and chemical characteristics, serving as water isolant, was found after reshaping of the pile.
A postremediation monitoring was done to evaluate the quality of water in river Litavka and to prove accomplishment of targeted parameters and defined limits of the remediation. The monitoring included a collection of samples from surface-water and underground water, measurement of level of underground water and measurement of permeability of superficial layers of rock environment in defined monitoring points, so called control profiles.
Based on original observation of the region and my participation during measurements, including collection of water samples, I could compare obtained information, evaluate the results of postremediation monitoring and make evaluation of effectiveness of the remediation and suitability of usage of the area. The results of the performed measures show that corrective steps successfully lowered the concentration of toxic metals in river Litavka and also the infiltration of precipitation into the underground water. The usage of the area as park is appropriate and is consistent with zoning.

Areály plícních léčeben - specifické objekty krajinářské architektury
Šimek, Pavel
The diploma thesis aims on description and development of the pulmonary hospitals as a specific objects of landscape architecture. The subject has been divided into three basic areas. First area focuses on the specialised sanatoriums for tuberculosis treatment and their greenery as the main field of study from the landscape architecture point of view. As a part of this thesis we have created detailed graphical overview of the environmental and natural conditions as well as overview of the historical background for selected sanatoriums in the Czech republic. Second area aims to provide complex study of contemporary trends in health care facilities greenery identified in the specialised literature. As a part of this section we have compiled proposal for differentiation of the functional type "greenery of the health care facilities". Last area presents verification study for the expansion and cultivation of the OLU Paseka medical facility. The study is based on the upper-mentioned findings and emphasises on the application of contemporary medical care trends in the landscape engineering.

Suggestion of a Financial Concept for the Development of a House
Šimek, Pavel ; Pelc, Jiří (referee) ; Škapa, Stanislav (advisor)
The diploma thesis analyzes available methods of financing of a new housing construction with the focus on the possibilities of concurrent investment. The above analysis is demonstrated in a model case study. Practical part contents selection of the products to be analyzed from each evaluated field: suitable mortgage loan, finance market investment, the investment to the alternate heating equipment of the home and photovoltaic power plant. Than demonstrate the possibilities of decreasing the price of the loan with the assistance of concurrent investment into the financial markets or the alternative investment. The risk of investing has been taken into consideration as well. At the end are demonstrated comparative analysis and evaluation of all financing possibilities resulting in suggesting the most suitable method of home loan financing.

The methodology of woody species evaluation for the needs of monument preservation
Pejchal, Miloš ; Šimek, Pavel
The purpose of the methodology is to evaluate the current status and potential of woody species in the monuments of garden and landscape architecture. The methodology is based on visual assessment and is modular in nature and consists of the basic module and expansion (special) module. The basic module can be applied in all objects of garden and landscape architecture and consists of the following groups of attributes: identification, mensurational, descriptive, qualitative, and others; the specifics and specific groups of woody species (climbing plants, shaped trees) are taken into account. The methodology is focused both on the evaluation of individual specimens of woody species, as well as the evaluation of the groups of individuals (from individual groups and stands of woody species to all the woody species in an object). For these woody species groups was drawn special qualitative attribute - so called dendrologic potential - indicating the ability of the existing woody species to ensure the stability of the composition. Expansion module of evaluation is focused on the specific needs of monument preservation. It includes 2 attributes expressing the historical authenticity of woody species - originality (genuineness, value, age) of a substance and ability to bear the principle contained in the original substance. The third attribute expresses the importance of woody species in the composition.
