China's One Belt and One Road Initiative and its potential for the tourism industries in Africa, Asia and Europe: a gravity model approach
Jannaschk-Schmitz, Patrick ; Paulus, Michal (advisor) ; Benáček, Vladimír (referee)
In 2013, China presented the idea of the infrastructure project One Belt One Road. The thesis aims to analyse the potential effects of the initiative, and how its attempt to improve transport infrastructure will impact EU-tourist flows to participating countries. A closer look to the effects on the tourism industry is justified because of the importance of the touristic sector for the global economy. For instance, the direct contribution of the touristic sector accounted for 2.3 trillion USD worldwide in 2016. A gravity model approach is used in the following paper to examine the significance of road, railway, air service as well as port infrastructure for tourists from the European Union. Afterwards, an OBOR simulation is carried out that forecasts a potential change for EU-tourist inflows. The results go in line with previous gravity model studies regarding the positive relationship of the GDP and the inverse influence of the distance on tourism flows. Furthermore, the findings suggest a significant impact of well-developed road, railway and air service networks. However, the quality of ports did not meet the expectations and is somewhat contra productive for the decision making of EU tourists. The simulation for the improvement of transport infrastructure implies that countries with an under-...

Analysis of Subsidy Conditions for Investment in Transport Infrastructure
PLACHÁ, Veronika
The topic of this diploma thesis is "Analysis of Subsidy Conditions for Investment in Transport Infrastructure". The aim of the thesis is to analyse the subsidy conditions of investment sources in transport infrastructure and the subsequent evaluation of subsidy conditions. The diploma thesis consists of two parts. The theoretical part contains explanations of important concepts related to work. There is an analysis of transport infrastructure and its financing in the Czech Republic. There is also a foreign view on transport investment. There is also an explanation of the concept of subsidy, which is crucial for the work. In the practical part, the South Bohemian Region, which also plays an important role in the thesis, is described because it is a part of the GAJU project, which deals with the development of the South Bohemian Region. Another chapter of the practical part focuses on the analysis of the sources in the transport infrastructure. It is found out where the funds for the construction of the transport infrastructure comes from, what purposes they are used for and under what conditions. Based on the assessment of the overall state and the situation with the investment in transport infrastructure, measures have been proposed to improve the current state.

Boháč, Ondřej ; Blažek, Jiří (advisor) ; Květoň, Viktor (referee)
This paper evaluates the benefits of investments in cycling infrastructure for regional development. The case study deals with socio-economic impacts of cycling transport infrastructure built for the Orlicko-Třebovsko region. The main thesis does not assume profitability of such investments in socio-economic realm of the region. Overall societal benefit has been assessed through the cost-benefit analysis. Individual elements of the analysis are focused on short-term, long-term, direct and indirect effects for the development of the region. The benefits are to be found in connection with implementation, management and operation of the project as well as transport sector, services sector and recreation. Specific positive effects take mainly the form of business sales, employment and savings for the population. The analysis has taken note of certain positive effect that is nevertheless economically inadequate to the amount of initial investment. Therefore in this case cycling transport infrastructure proved to be ineffective tool of regional development.

Logistic and logistic chains in the context of transport infrastructure development in the Czech Republic with an emphasis on road infrastructure
Svoboda, Lukáš ; Zelený, Lubomír (advisor) ; Klee, Lukáš (referee) ; Kleprlík, Jaroslav (referee)
The transport infrastructure facilitates the development of national economies not only in Europe but all over the world. Stagnating transport network development, along with stagnating modernisation of such networks caused by a lack of funds and associated with the absence of modern approach and technology within the construction and operation, has a fatal impact on the advancement of trade, industry and, ultimately, the development of the state itself. The dissertation thesis aims to describe and verify the way the heavy road infrastructure development supports the economy of the whole country, regions and economic entities. At the same time, the thesis strives to examine whether the construction completion accelerates the development and building of logistic centres in the vicinity of such big highways, and the manner the commissioning of such buildings is reflected in traffic intensity changes inland and at the borders.
