Civil and political sphere from the perspective of local actors in České Budějovice
Bílková, Lucie ; Navrátil, Jiří (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Tereza (referee)
Post-socialist states are often linked to low political participation and weak civil society. Simultaneously, there is a visible rise in the phenomenon of urban movements. They serve not only as a platform for mobilization of citizens but also as a platform that builds a bridge between politics and society. Therefore, there is a need to study this phenomenon as an intriguing opportunity for research into the relationship between the civil and political sphere on a local level. The goal of this thesis is to show how city activists look at the civil and political spheres in comparison to the definition offered by theoretical conceptualizations. Research has demonstrated a transition in spheres, where activities are indicated as nonpolitical by activists. These findings are not supported by the presented theory which considers them political, and therefore, this study suggests that the boundaries of the spheres are shifted. Moreover, activists constantly engage in both spheres and therefore enter local politics through their activity. They prefer conventional methods to political actions, which they are not estranged to, but they do not frame them as political.

The indirect perpetration
Havel, Lukáš ; Hořák, Jaromír (advisor) ; Pelc, Vladimír (referee)
The indirect perpetration Abstract The indirect perpetration consists in the commission of a crime through another person who is not criminally responsible. In case of indirect perpetration, such a person is being misused by the indirect perpetrator as a ‚living instrument' to actually carry out the criminal act. Without the institution of indirect perpetration, it would not be possible to punish an indirect perpetrator in some cases. In dualistic systems, this legal institution seems necessary as it fills the gap generated by the principle of accessory participation and helps to overcome certain difficulties that arise from the application of criminal law in dualistic systems. Indirect perpetration is hence often indicated as a supplement to the principle of accessory participation. The aim of this diploma thesis is a detailed description of the indirect perpetration. This is also accomplished through the analysis of its historical development and the comparison of selected foreign legal systems. The work is divided into three thematic parts. The first part is devoted to the historical development of the indirect perpetration. Individual subchapters are also supplemented by relevant case law pertaining to the topic. The second part of the diploma thesis is devoted to the current concept of indirect...

Water management in a physical plan
Pospíšilová, Nikola ; Perlín, Radim (advisor) ; Hrabák, Jiří (referee)
The Master's thesis responds to the current challenge of the Czech landscape - reflecting its adaptation to climate change. At the local level, according to Czech legislation, the instrument forming the landscape should be primarily the physical plan, which was therefore selected as the subject of interest for this work. The work examines the possibilities of the physical plan in the field of water management by means of a case study focused on five municipalities in Vysocina region. The aim of this work is to verify whether spatial planning in the Czech environment responds to climate change, and thus whether it participates in responsible landscape water management. Firstly, the work analyzes the expected climate changes, their impact on the Czech landscape and approaches of society to these changes. Another part of the work is devoted to spatial planning, its tools and possibilities in the formation of landscape. In the practical part of the work, two qualitative research methods are used. The first is a semantic analysis of municipal spatial plans, the second chosen method are semi-structured interviews with representatives of public administration. The results of both methods show that the physical plan rather permits water management. Near natural measures are in the physical plans expressed...

Aplikace participačních metod v městském plánování
Hanžl, Jakub
Participatory urban planning, where the public is involved in the process, is one of the prerequisites for sustainable development.

Still, putting these methods into practice faces a number of problems. The author of this article examines the application of participatory methods in urban planning, their effectiveness, ethics and legislative framework, and compares them with conventional methods and examines the limits of their use.
