A Barn for Everyone: Rural Community Life in Barn-Inspired Houses
Fuchs, Pavel
The social life of rural areas has traditionally revolved around pubs, gyms, and, in recent years, cultural centres. The essence of these meeting places is intricately linked with their formal characteristics. Recently, there have been several significant projects in the Czech Republic that have transformed private estates into public spaces. In some instances, these new constructions draw inspiration from the rural barn. What kind of dynamic arises when these different architectural forms intersect, and how does this design approach influence the surrounding environment? This study primary delves into two case studies from the small villages of Skalička and Opatovice to explore these questions further.

Productivity of Czech state administration with focus on IT technology and costs connected with use of modern technologies
Fuchs, Pavel ; Pleticha, Petr (advisor) ; Janský, Petr (referee)
Czech state government is often criticized because of slow implementation of new information technologies (IT). Furthermore, IT-related government contracts are frequently overpriced and the official analyses say only little about the projects' efficiency. The paper inquiries into relatively homogenous level of local government represented by municipalities of extended competence. These jurisdictions have to guarantee extensive portfolio of services, however they have relative freedom of investment decision making. We used Data Envelopment Analysis and assigned each municipality with efficiency score. We found out that higher investment in IT does not stand for improved efficiency and indicates inefficiencies in public spending. We also described an ambiguous effect of the size of the district and a significant negative effect of amount of clerks.

E-learning in public service
Fuchs, Pavel ; Kadeřábková, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Khendriche Trhlínová, Zuzana (referee)
In the era of post-industrial society/world knowledge becomes ever more important source of wealth. This process is being reflected by public service. Part of the changes in the public service is also the term 'e-learning', alias education supported by web technologies. This new method is currently expanding also into the area of civil servants education and therefore I have decided to write my diploma thesis on "E-learning in public service". The aim of the thesis is above all to analyse current civil servants' in the public service education, to explain the term of e-learning, and last but not least to controvert or confirm the hypothesis whether the e-learning way of education of public servants has a chance to spread or even make it to the top of preferred forms of education.
