Analysis of the effectiveness of public investment using the method of costs and benefits (cost-benefit analysis)
Žilík, Lukáš ; Toth, Petr (advisor) ; Balcarová, Tereza (referee)
Czech participation in the drawing from Structural Funds of the European Union brings with it the question of efficient use of these resources. The number of projects financed by European funds represents a significant part of the investment made in our country. Additionally, the pressure arising from the comparison of the effectiveness of private projects leads to the question of how to avoid unnecessary wastage. Authorities, considering redistribution, should have full-featured documents that are necessary foundations for proper negotiations. These documents also include a professionally processed cost-benefit analysis (aka CBA). The aim of this thesis is to apply theoretical knowledge on selected issues CBA assessing the effectiveness of public investment in a particular project the Czech Republic. The theoretical part will briefly summarizes current knowledge concerning the effectiveness of public investment, the methods used in their assessment, followed by description of the basic assumptions of CBA and propose a method of processing. In the practical part the project will be primarily introduced and then analyzed subsequent application of the design process with a focus on selected issues of investment efficiency evaluation. The ultimate result of the work should be high-quality data to investigate the appropriateness of the use of this method and the CBA based on data identifying effective or vice versa inefficient use of public funds.

Selecting Criteria for the assessment of the disproportionate costs associated with the implementation and objectives of The Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC
Škodová, Ivana ; Vojáček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Slavíková, Lenka (referee)
This paper tries to answer the question related to the implementation of one of Europe's most influential EU-directives, the Water Framework Directive. The Directive requires Member States to achieve good ecological potential and good surface water chemical status for bodies of water until year 2015. If the states cannot achieve those objectives within this period, then there may be grounds for exemptions from the requirement to prevent further deterioration of to achieve good status under specific conditions. One of those conditions could be that, the completing the improvements within the timescale would be disproportionately expensive. Question which is examined in this paper is, what criteria would be most appropriate for determining the disproportionate costs. Based on the review of most WFD-related studies and EU legislation are selected criteria, which should be used for the assessment of the disproportionate costs.

Approaches to determining the value of public services from consumers perspective
Řehák, Tomáš ; Stejskal, Jan
Potřeba hledat úspory ve veřejných rozpočtech staví čím dále větší počet veřejných knihoven před úkol odpovědět na otázku po své užitečnosti. A odpovědět nikoliv ve floskulích či neměřitelných kategoriích. Je třeba odpovídat v korunách, procentech či měsících návratnosti. A je třeba nalézt odpovědi nejen na otázky užitečnosti knihovny jako celku, ale i jednotlivých služeb či jejich okruhů. Městská knihovna v Praze spolu s Univerzitou Pardubice a Univerzitou Matěja Béla v Bánské Bystrici pracují na tříletém projektu, který by měl pomoci nalézt metodiku hodnověrně prováděných výzkumů v této oblasti.

Optimalization radiation protection with by using method "cost-benefit". Calculation for power plant Temelín ČEZ, a.s.
FOLTÝN, Pavel
Currently in the area of radiation protection, the principle ALARA (As Low As Reasonable Achievable) is being used. Through this principle the radiation burden of workers with ionising radiation is optimised. One of the economic tools used here is the {\clqq}cost-benefit analysis``. It is one of the first analytical methods which are recommended by the ICRP (International Commission on Radiological Protection) for optimising costs needed to secure radiation protection. The cost benefit analysis is a good and efficient economical tool. With the help of this method it is possible to do the optimisation as well as to prove it. It takes into consideration all significant economic and social factors that are prescribed and recommended. Especially, it can prove that all expositions are kept as low as they are reasonable achievable, while considering the economic angle. Basically, it is a conception which is applicable in all areas of the public as well as private sector, in all areas of human activity. In this thesis some particular examples of using the CBA at the NPP Temelín are shown and compared with the achieved level of RP. Based on that the ALARA system at our workplace is demonstrated. The CB analysis with its extended forms helps to make principal and continuous decisions, and it is an essential factor in protection from harmful effects of ionising radiation. Its main contribution lies in the areas where it is necessary to build additional technical or building barriers. It is very important in designing and building new workplaces with ionising radiation.

Computer-administered assessment - ability tests
Klimusová, Helena ; Květon, Petr
The ever increasing application of computer technology in the psychological practise and particulary in psychological assessment raises questions regarding menthological issues of usage of the computer versions of the traditional psychological tests. In our paper we have focused on the comparsion of the computer and the traditional (paper-pencil) form of administration of widely used assessment methods. Amthauer´s Intelligence Structure Test (IST-70) and Kucera´s Attention Concentration Test have been used out of the ability tests.

Projekt of Municipalities from European Union Funds
Opolcer, Lukáš ; Krbová, Jana (advisor) ; Mikešová, Andrea (referee)
Work is focused on analyzing exigence of municipalities in the elaboration of projects financed by EU funds and to identify problems in small villages to the processing of such projects. The first step will analyze and assess the system of drawing EU funds in the Czech Republic, then make a direct processing of cost-benefit analysis of the selected project. In the third step I use a questionnaire, in which will be identified the problems which face the municipalities and how they solve these problems.

Socioeconomic benefit analysis of major international sport event
Zakouřil, Boris ; Novotný, Jiří (advisor) ; Jarouš, Miroslav (referee)
The thesis is devoted to an evaluation of social and economic benefit, which is produced by major international sport event. Particular costs and benefits of the alpine skiing World Cup competitions held in Czech Republic are described and evaluated, using standard tools of investment project evaluation. Applied procedure arises from CBA (cost benefit analysis) methodology. All important effects of the analysed sport event are expressed as an amount in the form of money. Based on the values of selected indicators is then pronounced a concluding verdict, if the project is acceptable or not.
