Datková, Veronika ; Ducháčková, Eva (advisor) ; Daňhel, Jaroslav (referee)
This thesis discusses the occurrence and evolution of natural disasters in the world and in the Czech republic. More detail it deals with floods in the Czech republic, the causes of their formation, climate changes and especially tools of coverage the damage caused by them on property of individuals. In addition to prevention, commercial insurance, public and private sources are also considered the instruments of capital market. The interest is focused on barriers of commercial insurance that reduce the level of insurance protection. Finally, this work deals also with storms in the Czech republic.

Pospíšilová, Eliška ; Ducháčková, Eva (advisor) ; Daňhel, Jaroslav (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of floods which hit the Czech Republic during a few last years, and then it describes the commercial insurance which covers the consequences of damages from natural catastrophes. At first, there is the general development of natural disasters all over the world. Next parts include theoretical aspects of floods and functions of flood control. Then, there are mentioned main causes and consequences of floods which hit the Czech Republic from 1997 to 2010. Finally, commercial insurance is mentioned as the most important instrument which help people cover the damages caused by natural catastrophes, mainly floods.

Impact of floods on the property market in Prague
Timko, Peter ; Melichar, Jan (advisor) ; Kaprová, Kateřina (referee)
Master's thesis is focused on the problem of the economic impacts of floods on the property market in Prague. Aim of this work is to clarify whether the floods affect the price of real estate and to what extent. Hypothesis is that floods affect the price of property in flood plains. This effect is determined by the hedonic price model (HPM) for the analysis of secondary data. The theoretical part explains the risk of flooding and floodplains mapping. This section further explains the whole hedonic model and reviewed studies provide a research procedure outside the Czech Republic region. The practical part deals with the exploratory analysis, regression analysis and hedonic price modeling based on the implicit price of flooding. Finding of the thesis is the fact that property prices in Prague are affected by the Q100 flood plains resulting in positive and negative impact confirmed by a log-log weighted least squares regression model. It is shown that implicit price of flooding far exceeds the cost of building flood protection measures in Prague.

Analysis of flood situation 2002 in the district of Lužnice river - near the village Majdalena.
ZÁVODSKÁ, Pavlína
Floods in 2002, in the village of Majdalena specifically, directly touched the lives of many families. The flood wave destroyed the village citizens´ possessions and property and what was not destroyed, that was seriously damaged. Water is a powerful element one can not exist without, but if it affects human lives and causes damage, the human psyche is scarred for a very long time. "Analysis of the 2002 flood situation in the Lužnice River - near the village of Majdalena" deals with the course of flood conditions, the resolution of consequences and the subsequent measures. The main goal is to determine the current status of flood protection in the river Lužnice near the village of Majdalena, the partial goal is to analyze the flood situation in 2002 from the point of view of intervening components and the area administration. The first part deals with flooding in general. Various flood levels and their subsequent resolutions are described. After the 2002 floods, a number of analyses of these catastrophic floods causes were worked out. The meteorological forecasting method was enhanced, the measures to improve forecasting, warning and alert services were suggested. Area administrators try to raise towns and villages flood resistance with the help of subsidies. The intervention was subsequently analyzed from the point of view of intervening units, public administration and citizens. The second part mostly deals with the specific analysis of the extent of flood situation in the sandpit of Majdalena. The detailed analysis showed that the reservoir dam had been designed according to the technical parameters standard for a given time. And only the competent decision-making of the involved bodies of the region and its municipalities and the experience gained after the floods in 1997 in Moravia was a very important contribution to mitigate the consequences of flooding and to avoid the loss of human lives. At the conclusion of the thesis you can ask a hypothetical question: Is it possible to clearly, accurately and quickly predict the impending disaster as a result of unexpected natural changes? Flood control measures may be as perfect as possible, but sometimes a human being stands helpless against natural elements. The events in the village of Majdalena were only one part of consequences of floods in 2002 that had affected the whole area of the South Bohemian region.

Characteristics of the territory in relation to the possibilities of occurrence of extraordinary events and crisis situations and the way to solve them.
MRZENA, Pavel
The goal of my thesis was to provide a basic and comprehensive picture of the territory of the town of Tábor, and to describe how the characteristics influence the possibility of occurrence of extraordinary events and crisis situations, including the follow-up ways to solve these situations. Another goal of my thesis was to present a picture of the possibilities of occurrence of selected and particular extraordinary events and crisis situations, including the identification of the readiness level of the crisis management authorities of the town of Tábor for these events. In the final part there are findings and information based on which we can state that the hypotheses were confirmed. Based on the characteristics of the town of Tábor, which influence the occurrence of unfavourable events and their solutions, the level of readiness of the town for these events is considered to be good, and currently additional new measures are taken to stabilise and improve this readiness.

Exploitation of the European funds in the process of elimination of effects
ULBRICHTOVÁ, Renata
The aim of my thesis is to analyze the usage of drawing the financial means from the EU funds intended for removing the consequences of floods in South Bohemia in 2002 and the interpretation of the flood protection intervention itself. The thesis is divided into three parts. In the first part floods are being defined in a common way and we are informed about several water management companies and flood forecast services. It also deals with the causes of the floods from 2002; attention is also given to the flood intervention measurement, mainly from the technical aspect. In the next part we are dealing with a brief presentation of pre-accession funds and then we enlarge upon EU structural funds. In this part we also point to the funds from which it is possible to draw financial means for removing bad consequences of natural catastrophes. The center of my thesis is a detailed analysis of the usage of drawing financial means from the EU. In the end we will assess the fruitfulness of the drawing on financial means from the EU within the individual programs.

The ten-year development of vegetation cover of the Bečva river flood channel with special regard to ecotones
Lacina, Jan
During the disastrous flood in July 1997 the Bečva river created notable flood channels, which are considerably more complex and wider than the previous technically designed one. In the fall of the vegetation period in 1997 the six most interesting segments between towns Valašské Mežiříčí and Přerov were chosen and left in further natural development. During 10 years the processes of spontaneous succession have been examined by means of repeated phytosociological records on the investigative transects which have been located on various habitats. Dynamic development of river channel and its vegetation communities (from grassy-herbal heath to flood-plain forest and its ecotones) differentiated by hydrologic conditions, topography and grain-size distribution is very notable on the transect near Osek nad Bečvou. It is indisputable that the high-magnitude flood revitalizated the riverine landscape, diversified its character and contributed to the higher biodiverisity.
