Sýkorová, Klára ; Baláš, Jiří (advisor) ; Bílý, Milan (referee)
Title: Regulatory Issues of Organizing Outdoor Activities Objectives: The objective of this thesis was to analyse legal environment in relation to organizing programs for outdoor sports and outdoor activities, and to analyse terms and conditions for acquiring the necessary qualification. Methods: I performed analysis of the legal environment by applying descriptive analysis, in particular using document analysis as regards their content. I acquired further data based on consultation with experts in the area of individual activities, methodology and legal regulation. I organized and summarized the acquired data. Conclusions: The analysis demonstrated lack of uniformity and visible fragmentation of the regulation, which is missing overall recommendations and rules for outdoor sports and outdoor activities. Part of the rules is also contained in non-binding directives, having no legal force. I also discovered that the system of further education undergoes a transitory period. Implemented changes should lead to better clarity of the legal environment. However, the present development demonstrates that the process will be slow and demanding. Also, next to the general qualification system, there are subsystems used by certain subjects for their internal use. Further education of pedagogical staff is...
