Evalution of preparedness of socially significant buildings in České Budějovice in terms of safety.
ELIÁŠOVÁ, Kristýna
The theoretical part of this thesis is divided into two notional parts. The first part deals with population protection, focusing mainly on evacuation, warning or emergency hiding. In this section, there are types of emergency exits specified and what devices can be included during evacuation. Warning is a crucial component of people's escape during an emergency situation, therefore it is essential to specify which tools can be used to warn people. The second part focuses on fire safety. There are types of fire documentation listed. A building has to have these documents compiled. To ensure the safety of people, it is important to organize regular training courses of fire safety for the employees, therefore it is an important section of the thesis. In the practical part of the thesis, a survey was carried out in a form of semi-structured interview with the head of safety department of chosen buildings in České Budějovice. The information acquired during the interviews were evaluated using SWOT analysis, which focuses on strong or weak aspects, opportunities and threats. The aim of the thesis was to evaluate the preparedness in the socially significant buildings in České Budějovice in terms of fire safety and population protection. The goal was to answer two research questions: "How are the buildings prepared in terms of fire protection?" and "How are the buildings and employees prepared in terms of population protection?" The results have shown that not every building is one hundred percent secure. The reasons are the different types of buildings, their age and possible investments into the reconstruction and purchase of new equipment.

Application of pedestrian evacuation and fire spreading models for specific buildings safety improvement
Okřinová, Petra ; Hromada, Martin (referee) ; Dvořák, Zdeněk (referee) ; Apeltauer, Tomáš (advisor)
The current trend in the construction industry is construction “without limits”. In projects and implementations, we encounter non-traditional combinations of operational solutions, geometry and materials, which are still approached mainly using the classic standards from the fire safety point of view. The latter does not allow to comprehensively cover all aspects of these specific buildings without a greater degree of subjective simplification. This raises the question of whether, even in these cases, it is still appropriate and safe to use only a standards approach, or whether buildings deviating from traditional construction should be assessed differently – for example, by so-called fire analysis using numerical models. Currently, users still have very little information about the use of these models, and even in the Czech legislation, there is no document recommending how to proceed when using them for the purposes of building fire safety solutions. Numerical models of evacuation and fire analysis are thus currently the most effective tool for impact analysis and preliminary verification of the effectiveness of proposed safety measures. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with their validation and use, with the goal of innovating existing approaches and standardizing numerical models for fire safety assessment of buildings. Furthermore, it is necessary to compare their possibilities and limitations concerning ČSN and to put together a comprehensive information background as a basis for their more active implementation in practice. The presented work thus focuses on the above-mentioned issue and demonstrates its use of application examples of real specific buildings and a set of compiled studies. The work also points out specific shortcomings and simplifications of standard approach methods, based on which verified procedures and recommendations for the incorporation and use of numerical models in fire safety practice are then established.

Modeling the movement of people when organizing festival events
Žalská, Kateřina ; Uhlík, Ondřej (referee) ; Okřinová, Petra (advisor)
The thesis deals with modeling the movement of people during the music festival Hradecký Majáles. This mass event is very popular in Hradec Králové, and its attendance reaches 17 thousand people. The thesis is focused on optimalization of the normal operation of the event, prediction of possible obstacles and possible danger. For analysis a few verification scenarios are created, including the scenario involving the emergence of danger and following simulation of evacuation of people. Within the analysis the key variables such as density, evacuation time and LoS. The critical places where people could get hurt, are selected. The new security precautions or optimization of site geometry optimizations are suggested for these places. In the conclusion of the 3 thesis is performed efficiency evaluation of the suggested changes resulting from the performed analysis.

Evaluation of the barrierlessness of public buildings in terms of the evacuation of disabled persons in the cadastre of the City of Pilsen
MAJEROVÁ, Hana
This master's thesis, which is entitled "Evaluation of the barrierlessness of public buildings in terms of the evacuation of disabled persons in the cadastre of the City of Pilsen" is divided into two main sections - theoretical and practical. The theoretical section defines basic terms regarding the evacuation of individuals in general, the divisions of evacuation, divisions and characteristics of physically disabled persons and the risks involved in the evacuation of these individuals. Furthermore, it deals with the inclusion of evacuation and barrierlessness in Czech laws. This thesis also deals with the evacuation of public buildings including the time needed for evacuating individuals, the technical means for evacuation, and both static technical and mobile means. Fire-fighting technology for the evacuation of individuals is also mentioned. In order to gather data for the practical section, qualitative research was carried out in the form of structured interviews and tours of selected public buildings. Questions in the interviews were focused on the evacuation of individuals in general and ensuring preparedness for evacuating disabled individuals from the public building in question. The first goal of the thesis was to assess the preparedness of selected public buildings for evacuating disabled individuals in the cadastre of the City of Pilsen. Results show that selected public buildings are prepared for evacuation, but carrying out such an evacuation, including the evacuation of disabled individuals, is often dealt with in an unsatisfactory manner. The second goal was to propose measures or changes for the improvement of the present state of affairs. These propositions were processed based on results gathered from interviews and visits to public buildings. A total of ten buildings that expressed interest in this issue were incorporated into the research. The value of this thesis lies primarily in the effort to make the issue of evacuating disabled persons more visible. In the future, the thesis may be useful for comparing changes in preparedness for evacuating disabled individuals. At the same time, it may also be used as a source of information on the given issue and on evacuation as such.

Preparedness of selected South Bohemian health service providers to secure evacuation
STŘEDOVÁ, Věra
The theme of this thesis was determine the current status of preparedness of selected health service providers for evacuation security. Two randomly selected hospitals were approached, Hospital Český Krumlov, a.s. and Hospital Jindřichův Hradec a.s. Since it is an evacuation issue, hospital staff should be adequately informed and prepared. The theoretical part is devoted to research of legal norms and documents with the given issue. This is especially the law No. 372/2011 Coll., on health services and the conditions for their provision which describes health service providers and Ministry of Interiors notice No. 380/2000 Coll., to prepare and implement of tasks of population protection which deals with evacuation and its description. This part dealt with the characteristics of health service providers in more detail, types of medical facilities, description of evacuation and evacuation events in the Czech Republic and abroad. To answer the research question "What is the current status of preparedness of selected health service providers for securing evacuation?" additionally it was determinated hypothesis no. 1 "Preparedness of health service providers of South Bohemian Region for evacuation security does not reach 75 %". The questionnaire contained 29 questions, it was divided into 4 parts, respondent information, aspects of awareness, readiness aspects and other aspects. For evaluation of awareness of medical staff for evacuation readiness was determinated limit 75% success of correct answer. The results showed insufficient preparedness - 55%. Additionally there were determinated hypothesis no.1 - no.6 which were focused on influence of respondent information on age, sex, highest education level, department and practice length. The method ANOVA was chosen for statistical evaluation. It showed that respondent information depend on sex, age and highest education level by both hospitals and each individually. Respondent awareness is also addicted to departments both hospitals and Hospital Jindřichův Hradec a.s. and on the contrary by Hospital Český Krumlov a.s is not addicted. Practice length is not addicted by both hospitals and Hospital Český Krumlov a.s. and on the contrary by Hospital Jindřichův Hradec a.s. is addicted. Results of the questionnaire survey showed that readiness and preparedness of medical staff in Hospital Český Krumlov a.s. and Hospital Jindřichův Hradec a.s. are insufficient and points that it is necessary to familiarize medical staff with this issue.
