Creation of the Framework of Indicators for the Sustainability Report of the Charles University
Proková, Andrea ; Havránek, Miroslav (advisor) ; Trnka, Radek (referee)
The thesis addresses the options for creating or choosing a thoretical and practical framework for the monitoring and reporting of the development of the Charles University with respect to its integration of the concept of sustainable development into its operations. The answer to the question of the methods to be used to choose theoretically grounded and relevant sustainability indicators is found firstly in a rigorous conceptualization of both sustainable development, as well as of the role of the university in the society and in an interlinkage of these conceptualizations. Secondly, the requirement for indicators of the desired quality is to be met through adhering to the operationalization of the chosen concept of sustainability and to the criteria chosen by core stakeholders using the method of social multicriteria analysis. In the empirical part exminig the preconditions for a regular monitoring of the Charles University using sustainablity indicators, the author comes to the conclusion that despite the absence of an institutional embedding of the sustainability concept into the official documents, the data availability for the indicators is rather high, though irregular and with data requiring further processing.

Three case studies of resourse management of tropical ethnic groups in area of Indonesia and Oceania: Siberut, Tikopia, Pingelap
Kavánková, Ludmila ; Trnka, Radek (advisor) ; Bartoš, Michael (referee)
This diploma thesis is based on three case studies discussing three native cultures and their ways of using ecosystem resources. The three studied tribes share following characteristics: they live in tropics, they represent Austronesian ethnolinguistic group and their habitat is a specific detached island. Studying the three chosen traditional island communities on Siberut, Tikopia and Pingelap give us detailed information about the local ways of living, traditional agriculture, land tenure, hunting, breeding and local trade. At the same time it helps us to discover differences of the three examples caused by number of socio-environmental factors as well as to characterize three types of interaction between people and their natural environment. Due to study of chosen tribes it was found out that local traditional way of using ecosystem resources not only allows inhabitants to survive but moreover sustains the natural environment. Therefore, it is proposed that applied principles could be adopted by other tropical places already more influenced by western culture. In such places the main source of food is conventional agriculture which is not perceived as fully sustainable. It was observed that studied communities were following some of the basic principles as tabus or agroforestry. Their main goal is to...
