Current situation of population awareness in case of leakage of dangerous substances from Momentive Specialty Chemicals Sokolov company.
MOURKOVÁ, Lada
Chemical industry is the most significant and dynamic business sphere all over the world. It is Some companies producing chemical material also this material keep in area, they using this material and it can't be excluding inception of industrial accident. These accidents have inpact on health and lives of humans, farm animals, environment quality or material damage. It is necessary to create new measures to minimize effect of dangerous chemical substances' leaks. Also for better population knowledge of leaks and effects of all chemicals that occur the area. Theme of my Bachelor's thesis '' Current situation of population's knowledge about leaks and effects of dangerous substances from Momentative Specialty Chemical Sokolo'', which I am deal with, is still actual, because of constantly increasing amounts of chemical substances around us and knowledge of human population has to be improved. In theoretical part I have occupies with bacis terms related to this theme, characteristic of dangerous chemical substances (which are prescribe by the law 350/2011 Sb.), population warning with using warning signals, notifying, pronciples of population's behaviour during chemical collision and related legislation. The aim of my work was evaluation of population knowledge conditions about leaks and effects of Propylene in the zone of emergency planning and outside the zone of emergency planning. The hypothesis of this bachelor's thesis was formulated like this: Knowledge about leaks and effects of Propylene for inhabitants living in the zone of emergency planning, will be statisticky more signifiant than knowledge of inhabitants outside the zone of emergency planning. In the second part of my thesis I have characterized selected company Momentative Specialty Chemical Sokolov its objects of business, main products and principles of production. Also Propylene as the most significant source of hazard in this company, company area characteristic, list of settlement complexes including overview of inhabitants living in this area. During investigation of population's knowledge in the zone of emergency planning and behind this area the quantitative research was perform. This research was manage by distributed questionnaire. Both of groups have been propounded with the same questionnaire. Four hundred forms have been distributed, 298 forms have returned to the source.Incorrect questionnaires have been eliminated from the study. Two hundred forms were put into the study in total, one hundred for each of population groups. Results of questionnaire research have been evaluated by graphical method, proportional method and statistical formulation has been performed. For statistical arrangement has been applied two-sided T-test to find out if the difference between examine respondent groups is statisticaly significant. In chapter ''Discussion'' individual questions and respondents' answers are consulting. Every question has been assembled by graf of numerical representation of right and wrong respondents' answers from the zone of emergency planning and behind this area. Some results are accompanied by my personal comments. In chapter "Conclusion" I have been summarized results of my study. Statistical processing shows that difference between knowledge of respondents in ZHP and outside ZHP is statisticaly more significant.By this the hypothesis has been confirmed. Also suggestions for knowledge improvement are included in this chapter. These proposals could bring more information to population, for example in education at schools in Královské Poříčí and Sokolov. Seminars and discussions could be realize not only for adults. Another option how to give these information to the population is some kind of commercial spot transmitted in locat TV. Results of this work will be provide for purposes of Sokolov Emergency Management.

The statistical investigation of selected tasks in protection of the population in emergency planning zones of nuclear power plants
HAJÍČKOVÁ, Iva
The thesis deals with statistical investigation of selected tasks in population protection in emergency planning zones of nuclear power plants.The issues of population protection have been developing since 1930s up to now.Currently,the population protection is addressed particularly in concepts of population protection,while the most recent one is the Population Protection Concept until 2020 with an Outlook to 2030.The objective of the thesis was to compare awareness of the population in emergency planning zones of nuclear power plants.With regard to a potential extraordinary event,in this case a radiation accident,the awareness of the population plays a significant role.The theoretical part of the thesis analyzes population protection,legal regulations and documents dealing with this topic.It also defines measures in population protection which seek to mitigate impact of extraordinary events or emergency situations on health and lives of the population,property and the environment.The thesis also mentions emergency planning and describes types of emergency plans.The second section of the theoretical part describes selected statistical methods.The last chapter of the theoretical part describes methods of multidimensional statistics.The following hypotheses and partial hypotheses were formulated in the research part of the thesis to meet its objective: H1 There is no statistically significant difference between the emergency planning zone of the nuclear power plant Temelín and the emergency planning zone of the nuclear power plant Dukovany.H11 There is no statistically significant difference in awareness among men about a potential extraordinary event at NPP Temelín and NPP Dukovany.H12 There is no statistically significant difference in awareness among women about a potential extraordinary event at NPP Temelín and NPP Dukovany. H2 The awareness of the population in emergency planning zones of both the nuclear power plants has a theoretical distribution which is close to the normal distribution.H21 The awareness of the population (men) in the emergency planning zone of NPP Temelín has a theoretical distribution which is close to the normal distribution.H22 The awareness of the population (women) in the emergency planning zone of NPP Temelín has a theoretical distribution which is close to the normal distribution.H23 The awareness of the population (men) in the emergency planning zone of NPP Dukovany has a theoretical distribution which is close to the normal distribution.H24 The awareness of the population (women) in the emergency planning zone of NPP Dukovany has a theoretical distribution which is close to the normal distribution.All the formulated hypotheses were tested with methods of descriptive and mathematical statistics. The research was conducted with questionnaires handed out in the emergency planning zones of NPP Temelín and NPP Dukovany.The questionnaire consisted of 23 questions and it was filled out by 242 men and 270 women in the zones.All data used in the research were provided to me within the project "Population protection depending of differentiation of the population" safety survey (VG20132015122) performed at the department of radiology,toxicology and population protection at the Faculty of Health and Social Studies at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice in cooperation with the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic.Results of the research have shown that the average awareness of the population living in the emergency planning zones of the nuclear power plants is less than 50% and that the knowledge of the population about a potential extraordinary event is not satisfactory.The population living in emergency planning zones of both the nuclear power plants could be exceptionally prepared for a potential non-standard situation, not only in the form of a Gauss curve.

Possible threat and preparedness of population for self-protection and providing mutual help
GALEKOVÁ, Žaneta
The diploma thesis is focused on determination of perception of the nuclear power station Temelín as a potential source of a threat perceived by the population living in the area of emergency planning, and determination of perception of possible sources of threat to selected subjects, such as swimming pool, winter stadium, breweries, freezing plant, etc. located in the area of the town České Budějovice. The aim of the diploma thesis is also to find out and compare the level of the current state of awareness and preparedness of the population living in the area of emergency planning of the nuclear power station Temelín informed in particular by guides and calendars published by the authorization holder, and of the population living in the area of the town České Budějovice for the eventuality of emergence of an extraordinary event. The hypothesis of the diploma thesis assumed that awareness and preparedness of the population living in the area of emergency planning of the nuclear power station Temelín should be on higher level in comparison with the population living in the area of the town České Budějovice. It is evident from the results of the questionnaire enquiry that awareness of the population living in both these areas is approximately on the same level, and thus the hypothesis of the diploma thesis was not confirmed. The proposal for improving awareness and preparedness of the population will help to explain the issue given to the population, and results and conclusions will be provided to the Department of Crisis Management of the South Bohemian Regional Authority.
