Impact of recession on implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility
Placier, Klára ; Putnová, Anna (advisor)
During the last few years, companies have had an increasing interest on playing a more significant role in society, besides their merely economic function. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a relevant concept leading them to do so. However, after the recent economic decline, the business model of most corporations had to be reviewed, including the CSR policy. This dissertation work discusses the impact of recession on CSR. The topic is highly relevant, since the consequences of the economic crisis have still a strong influence on business environment, in the form of a degrading level of trust and a decline of moral commitment to society. In order to evaluate this phenomenon, a research was conducted in three companies that are engaged in long-term CSR. With case study as research method, the impact of recession on CSR has been identified and a trend for future development has been outlined. As one of the main conclusions of this research it was proved, that after the economic decline, rather than dismissed, CSR was re-aimed in a more efficient way. CSR has helped companies to survive better the economic crisis and has taught them, how it can be beneficial not only for business but also for the society.

Strašilová, Zdeňka ; Sátora, Josef (referee) ; Kopáčik, Gabriel (advisor)
The thesis aims to create a project that will lead towards the formation of a new waterfront area along the Svitava river in Zábrdovice where poor condition of public spaces and the presence of brownfields cause the fact, that this area, located close to the city center, tends to be one of the least visited places along the river. The project deals with the relationship between the waterfront and the city, using the river's citymaking potential for site development and at the same time creates urban study in a way that will maximize the success of waterfront area as a public space. A strategic plan for achieving this objective is created parallel with the design itself.

Ponava – potential of area development
Holý, Martin ; Adamková, Jana (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
Problem - Ponava is an area with relatively large areas of brownfield sites. Ponava should be territory with clearly defined texture blocks, mixed functions , high proportion of total housing and urban character. The area solved in this work was selected as most suitable for the creation of the initiation core, ie core starting as development of the whole territory. Uncertainty about the future, including needs to be in 5, 10, 20 years doing the classic urban planning dysfunctional method of working with the territory. Solution - My urban concept seeks to provide sufficient flexibility in terms of use of buildings and open spaces. It is particularly advantageous because it can hold more small investors, who can work independently. Each part of the territory may work alone, just under the current situation and needs of society. The concept is simple division of the area in a regular rectangular network by the same part of the individual and their subsequent filling. Placing buildings is chessboard, thus ensuring their adequate sun and at the same time easy permeability of territory in all directions. The spaces between buildings have in the outer parts character of living square with a strong influence of the adjacent street. Inside these areas is the interspace quiet and mainly serves the local population.

Analysis of financing the Czech healthcare system in 2015 and the impact of the abolition regulatory charges on its sustainability
Krupičková, Karolína ; Loužek, Marek (advisor) ; Bartůsková, Lucia (referee)
The final thesis analyzes funding of Czech healthcare system in 2015 and shows its sustainability in future years in order to answer the question, what is the impact of the abolition of regulatory fees, which were introduced in 2008, subsequently in 2014 and cancelled in 2015. Many demographic changes, specifically age structure of the nation, occurred over recent decades in the Czech Republic. This fact caused disproportionate changes on the expenditure side and the revenue side of the health system. The state tried to balance this disparity with short-introduced charges, but those were abolished due to the political pressure. The final thesis assesses the appropriateness of this measure. The theoretical part explains the healthcare system in the Czech Republic and all its entities, explains different approaches to the concept of health and issues of regulatory charges. The practical part is devoted to analysis of statistical data. There is the state of health care through the last of the statistics and demographic prognosis described. Following part talks about the issues of charges in a broader context of health care. There are also global trends and the biggest problems that the Czech Republic faces in that direction defined. The conclusion evaluates the role and effectiveness of regulatory charges and the impact of their abolition, offers possible solutions or recommendations, which are formulated on the basis of evaluated data. The final thesis concludes that regulatory charges are suitable complement to the overall reform, but this arrangement is not capable of comprehensively addressing current and possible future problems by itself.
