Legal regulation of the environmental impact assessment
Pich, Jan ; Sobotka, Michal (advisor) ; Humlíčková, Petra (referee)
Environmental Impact Assessment is one of internationally recognised tools providing environmental protection. Purpose of the assessment is to identify and comprehensively evaluate environmental impact of a project with participation of the public, professionals and administrative bodies, prior to the realisation of the project. Information gained through this process is then used as a basis for decision making in procedures granting development or other consents. The thesis aims to analyse in particular the Czech environmental impact assessment law with emphasis on its recent amendment and reasons of its implementation.

Glatzová, Monika ; Sobotka, Michal (advisor) ; Humlíčková, Petra (referee)
Environmental impact assessment of projects in the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a horizontal tool of protection of the environment, based on principles of precaution and prevention and aimed at assessment of plans and programs, or projects. This thesis deals with assessment of projects only. At EU level, the legal basis for EIA of projects is provided for by the EIA Directive (Directive 2011/92/EU) which is expected to be amended in the near future. The thesis provides for an analysis of the EIA case law of the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU), identifies the main problems encountered by the Member States when implementing the EIA Directive, identifies the key principles established by the CJEU for interpretation of the EIA directive, and in the light of the above it identifies the main issues in the transposition in the Czech law. 1

Environmental Impact Assessment in the European, Austrian and Czech Legal Regulation
Škrabalová, Kristina ; Damohorský, Milan (advisor) ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (referee)
The process of environmental impact assessment is a control procedure that aims to summarize and evaluate the impact of a project on the environment at the stage of project planning and thus to reduce its potential negative impacts in the future. One of the main ideas of the EIA process is to avoid since the very beginning problems and confrontation which would otherwise appear in the future in connection with the planned project. This principle is particularly important in cases of transboundary assessment where communication between countries and joint consultations on the project in its early stages of planning might prevent potential conflicts and disruption of mutual relations in the future resulting from an already implemented plan. The cornerstone of a transboundary assessment is the understanding that the harmful effects of a specific project do not stop at the borders of one state, but can reach a territory of many other countries, mutual cooperation in this subject is thus with regard to environmental protection necessary. The necessity of such a cooperation on one hand, as well as its pitfalls and difficulties on the other hand, are illustrated in the case of transboundary EIA between the Czech Republic and Austria, that is specifically in the case of the construction of the nuclear power plant...

Environmental impact assessment
Zelenka, Andrej ; Sobotka, Michal (advisor) ; Žákovská, Karolina (referee)
The main goal of this thesis is to analyze the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which is one of the most important horizontal tools for environmental protection. The EIA process can be described as the procedure of identification and assessment of potential significant effects of a project on the environment. The information and outputs provided by the assessment process are considered by decision makers before a decision is made. The EIA process was first mentioned in the US in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 1969. Then the EIA process was adopted in other economically developed countries. The beginning of this thesis is focused on two significant multilateral environmental agreements - The Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context (the Espoo Convention) and The Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (the Aarhus Convention). Then the EU legislation related to the EIA process is described (especially Council Directive 85/337/EEC - the EIA Directive). The following part analyzes the Czech legal regulation of the EIA process that is included in Act No. 100/2001 Coll. Attention is turned to historical development, particular phases of the EIA process, the transboundary...

Postauditing in the EIA process
Kohoutová, Michaela ; Braniš, Martin (advisor) ; Lipský, Zdeněk (referee)
ABSTACT Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is an integral part of the protection of the environment. Although it is a tool which considers the impact on many different elements of the environment, the process also has many deficiencies. Because of its limitations, an audit has been forming since the beginning of EIA. An EIA audit evaluates the performance of an EIA by comparing actual impacts detected after the realization of the project to those that were predicted, those that were listed in the environmental impact statement. This paper will offer an insight into the EIA and the post-auditing process and contains three basic parts of these areas. The first part explores the EIA, its historical evolution and application in the Czech Republic. The second part will discuss the post-audit itself. In this part, the different post-auditing processes, which were carried out in different parts of the world, were chosen. Within the selected post-auditing, the predicted data from the environmental impact statements are statistically compared with resultant data from reality. It is therefore necessary to analyze the percentage given for how many predictions were wrong in a positive way, accurate or wrong in negative way. From different results of post-auditing, we can tell that only a small percentage of the...

Territorial Procedure in view of the Environmental Impact Assessment
Vargová, Šárka ; Světlíková, Daniela (advisor) ; Jaroslav, Jaroslav (referee)
The main theme of this diploma work is the characteristic and analysis of the placement of buildings under the Building act with relation to the assessment of the influence on the Environment according to the current legislation that came into force on 1 April 2015 by Act no. 39/2015 Coll., amending Act no. 100/2001 Coll., on the assessment of the environment.
In theoretical part, we discuss the ways the buildings are placed, participants of regional governance, administrative proceedings and zoning decision. Furthermore, the thesis describes the difference between land use management plan for the building, which are not subject to the assessment of environmental impact and intent, which is subject to this assessment.
The practical part contains the case study and the comparison of individual Territorial managements pointing to shortcomings of the legislation, which can cause complications and slowing the whole planning procedure.

Posuzování vlivů na životní prostředí - teorie a praxe
Sopková, Adéla
This bachelor thesis describes the process of assessment of environmental impacts from their inception to the present. It deals with the procedures of the EIA and SEA, which are analyzed by legislative norms and laws. Further, there are specified principles and processes of individual phases for comparing both methods. In the practical part, this process is demonstrated on biogas plants, which are subject to assessment under Act no. 100/2001 Coll. The concluding part of this thesis discusses the analysis of the evolution of biogas plants in the Czech Republic in the years 2002 - 2015. This illustrates the huge boom of buildings producing biogas.
