Kratochvíl, Martin ; Louda, Jiří (advisor) ; Osersová, Marta (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze and calculate the economic value of selected ecosystem services in the Eastern Ore Mountains and then analyze together with quantitative research, which was held simultaneously with the data collection survey. Selected ecosystems are typical for the Eastern Ore Mountains and provide recreational and aesthetic function. Contingent valuation method and method of choice experiment are used to calculate the economic value. The analysis of qualitative research is carried out by institutional analysis. Contingent valuation method is used to determine the willingness to pay for preserving the aesthetic function of mountain meadows in the Eastern Ore Mountains. Quantifying the economic value together with qualitative research may help to define tools for maintenance management of ecosystems that help to protect, maintain or restore ecosystem. Some methods of evaluation of environmental goods and institutional analysis are described in the theoretical section. The practical part is focused on the results of a questionnaire survey with a qualitative interpretation of the results.

Evaluation of the Impact of Wind Turbines on a Landscape
Urbášková, Martina ; Melichar, Jan (advisor) ; Kaprová, Kateřina (referee)
The goal of the work is to provide monetary valuation of changes in visual aspects of the landscape as a result of construction of an additional wind turbine in the village Maletín. For a suitable method for achieving the goal is being selected the contingent valuation method. A key element of this method is being considered the carefully compiled questionnaire, on which basis is made the quantification and evaluation of collected data. The representative sample consists of 112 households and the selected payment method is the increase of the monthly bill for electricity. The questionnaire reports that 54.3% of households consider the impact of wind turbines on the landscape Maletín to be positive. With the construction of additional wind turbine agree less than 74.3% of households and the most common reason is to obtain grants for the village and to produce cleaner energy from wind turbines. With the construction of new wind turbine while increasing monthly bill agrees 28.6% of all households living in the village Maletín. Estimation of changes in a welfare, thus improving the quality of the environment, is based on estimated central values, that has been calculated from selected characteristics and nonparametric estimation. The average household's willingness to pay for construction of wind turbine is estimated to be between 77 CZK - 200 CZK per month.

Hedonic Price Method
Gutvirthová, Beáta ; Vojáček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Melichar, Jan (referee)
Moje bakalářská práce je tématicky zaměřena na popis metody ekonomického hodnocení přírodních statků, konkrétně na metodu hedonické ceny. Jádrem bakalářské práce je použití metody hedonické ceny, s důrazem na determinanty poptávky, které vstupují do modelu pro zjištění implicitní ceny vybraných environmentálních charakteristik. Důraz je kladen na determinanty implicitní ceny na trhu nemovitostí. Významnými proměnnými, které vstupují do odhadu hedonické ceny na trhu nemovitostí jsou téměř vždy socioekonomické charakteristiky populace a dále atributy sledované environmentální změny. Hlavními zdroji mé práce je databáze EVRI; vědecké časopisy (např. Journal of Environmental, Economics and Management; Environmental and Ressource Economics; Journal of Public Economics aj.); Garrod, D. et Willis, K. (1992); Kolstad, C.D. (2000) aj. Bakalářská práce je zpracována v rámci projektu IGA VŠE, který je zaměřen na Aplikaci teorie hedonické ceny na trhu pracovních sil a nemovitostí v ČR. Mým cílem bude tedy analyzovat metodu hedonické ceny pomocí lineární regrese a ze zjištěných výstupů zjišťovat implicitní cenu, dále provést důkazy o vlivu přírodních charakteristik oblasti na cenu nemovitostí. Tyto charakteristiky tvoří závislost, jejíž funkci se pokusím dokázat.
