Hlásenská, Tereza ; Pělucha, Martin (advisor) ; Říhová, Gabriela (referee)
The thesis aims to introduce the problem of panel housing estates in the Czech Republic, to evaluate the development policy of these areas and to suggest the possibilities of transformation of Prague panel housing estates in order to enhance quality of residential environment. In the Czech Republic lives a substantial part of the population in the panel housing estates and their degradation is a real threat that could lead to the decline of entire cities. About 40% of Prague's residents live in housing estates, which are an indispensable part of urban structure of the capital city, and therefore the thesis focuses on Prague's housing estates. Through a literature research the theoretical part deals in major with the circumstances of creation and specifics of Czech panel housing with focus on the Prague housing estates. The theoretical part concludes that the future of housing estates will depend on the attitude of public authorities and its residents as we cannot rely on the fact that leaving housing estates their own development will not lead to their degradation. The practical part aims to introduce national and local key documents and programs, which involve housing estates transformation issues and assesses their importance and contribution to the transformation process itself. Further, there are introduced examples of foreign and Czech transformations and using SWOT analysis there is assessed the potential usability of these measures in the transformation of Prague housing estates. The end of practical part performs a synthesis of previous findings and suggests the possibilities of transformation of Prague panel housing estates, which should increase the quality of the residential environment. The draft of conception can serve as a basis for planning the estates transformation process at the Prague city districts.

The Future of “Panelák” Housing Estates
Kubínová, Šárka ; Wittmann, Maxmilián
Around one in three Czechs still live in housing estates composed of prefabricated concrete buildings (“panelák”). The construction of such estates was motivated by an enormous housing demand in towns and cities. In their time, “panelák” housing estates provided affordable housing with good sanitation for a large number of people. Before actual construction, significant amounts of energy were dedicated to theoretical work and analysis, resulting in highquality, functional and practical housing units. This is why, even today, people are still interested in living in these panel buildings.

Sociological Aspects in further Development of Panel Housing Estates
GOLKOVÁ, Iveta
The bachelor´s thesis is generally separated into two parts. Literature backround characterizes the environment and the current state of housing developments. General characteristics of housing developments is described both in sociological and economic terms and also from legal point of view. Literature backround constitutes a theoretical basics for the problematics. Context and continuity of problematics are in case of a particular housing development and particular housing co-operaitve solved in analytical part. The analytical part is processed using two methods, questionnaire surveys and interviews. Data arising from the results of these methods are the primary sources for this bachelor thesis. The main objective is to analyze the current social culture of the population and its impact on further development and sociological research links in the selected housing co-operative. The most significant finding of the analytical part is that in a relatively short period the social culture in the housing development passed through a very positive change, although the technological defects of housing developments, caused by conceptual shortcomings of the construction, is still considered one of the most important factors affecting the satisfaction with standard of living of population. Satisfaction with housing is another important aspect of development.Very positive finding is that 90 % of the surveyed population is relatively satisfied with their living. Another important finding of the analytical part is that the activity of housing co-operatives contribute to positive perceptions of the level of housing and has an effect on its increase. Based on these findings we can conclude that the active participation of the population can be very beneficial and effective. As to the status of panel houses in cooperative ownership,a more rich exchange of information between co-operatives could be beneficial. This could be a significant factor in future development of housing estates.
