Analysis of the value of ecosystem services by stated preference methods: Case study of clearance cairns in the Eastern Ore Mountain
Břízová, Lucie ; Vojáček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Slavíková, Lenka (referee)
During last decade there has been developed concept of so-called ecosystem services (e.g. Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005) in matured countries. This concept focus especially on identification of benefits resulting from intact ecosystem and also on various ways of taking all those benefits into account when dealing with decision-making process of market economy. Goal of this concept (among other things) is to keep currently freely available ecosystem services in nature as they are and also to ensure natural conditions for life won't be becoming worse. Landscape of eastern Ore Mountain has its specific character especially because of few unique ecosystems which don't occur in other locations at all; or they are presented there but not in such high volume. We can consider mountain meadows, natural streams and clearance cairns at the most important local unique ecosystems. Main goal of diploma thesis is to analyze recreational and mainly aesthetic values of clearance cairns. Even though clearance cairns are important biotopes there was quite small attention dedicated to them in existing analyses made in Czech Republic. That is in heavy contrast to attention dedicated to those biotopes in other areas, e.g. in eastern part of Ore Mountain belonging to Saxony where local inhabitants appreciate clearance cairns so much that every single section of them is completely documented (resulting into 1.000 kilometers of documented clearance cairns). Diploma thesis is based on methodology using analysis of primary data obtained from empirical research. Research was realized in eastern Ore Mountain during summer 2013 and author of this thesis was actively participated both in preparation phase and also in realization phase. Thesis also uses random utility theory, discrete choice models and also stated preferences methods (e.g. Bateman et al., 2002). Multinominal logit model and random parameter logic model are used for values estimation. Based on performed analysis thesis verifies or disproves hypothesis saying that willingness to pay for clearance cairns is statistically insignificant (i.e. people don't consider this landscape element as having significant value). Diploma thesis results will be used as a suggestion for obtaining clearance cairns management.

The Economy of Marriage in the Czech Republic
Břízová, Lucie ; Ryvolová, Ivana (advisor) ; Chalupníček, Pavel (referee)
The goal of my work is to explain the recent trends in the development of the economy of marriage in the Czech Republic. One of the inseparable parts of my investigation of reproductive decision making using the cost-benefit analysis is the comparison of Gary Becker's economy of marriage, i.e. of the application of Chicago School's theory of consumer demand at the given problematics, with the Pennsylvanian theory of relative income. This comparison is to be done in the conditions of the Czech Republic. Another part of my analysis is formed by the investigation of the much discussed view of children as long-term consumer goods or capital goods. Confronting Chicago School's theory of fertility with its critics is very important. The sub-goal of my work is to prove the connection between marriage rate, birthrate, and economic cycles and also the connection between economic growth and population growth in the Czech Republic. I also concentrate at the change of the trends in reproductive decision making which occurred in the Czech Republic after the fall of communism. Another chapter is devoted to marriage markets and their connection with job markets. The last part of my work concentrates at the effects of pro-natalist politics in the Czech Republic, possibilities of regulating population, and the effectiveness of population politics. At the end of my work I am going to use all my findings to try to answer the question whether it is or is not possible to use the economy of marriage to explain the development trends in the Czech Republic and if necessary I am also going to try to find all the aspects causing deviations from the economic theory.

Břízová, Lucie ; Toman, Prokop (advisor) ; Doseděl, Martin (referee)
The aim of this graduation thesis is to introduce the effective information processing during extraordinary occurrences. Initially, it processes the information generally, presents it's life cycle and types of communication. It also explains models of communication. The second part depicts extraordinary occurrences. It defines particular sorts of extraordinary occurrences and possible critical countermeasures. It targets the legal regulation, which defines these situations. In the last part, the author explains hers performed survey of public opinion on extraordinary occurrences, which she interprets both graphically and in writing. In conclusion, this graduation thesis evaluates the policy of the Czech Republic during extraordinary occurrences.

Analýza informací v mimořádných událostech
Břízová, Lucie ; Toman, Prokop (advisor) ; Kubešová, Vlasta (referee)
Práce si klade za cíl seznámit s efektivním zpracováním informací během mimořádných událostí. Nejprve se zabývá informacemi obecně, jejich životním cyklem a komunikací. Vysvětluje jednotlivé komunikační modely. Druhá část je věnována mimořádným událostem. Definuje jednotlivé druhy mimořádných událostí a krizová opatření, jejichž pomocí se tyto situace řeší. Zaměřuje se také na právní úpravu, která tyto situace definuje. Poslední část práce je zaměřena na konkrétní mimořádnou událost, a to terorismus. Rozděluje terorismus na několik druhů a detailněji se věnuje tomu nejnebezpečnějšímu. Superterorismus, jak je nazýván, se zaměřuje na zneužití zbraní hromadného ničení. Práce se snaží zmapovat dostupnost těchto zbraní, následky jejich zneužití a případnou ochranu. V závěru je popsána bezpečností situace v České republice a bezpečnostní opatření, které jsou vytvořeny pro případ teroristického útoku v naší zemi.
