Wulkanová, Jana ; Sobotka, Michal (advisor) ; Žákovská, Karolina (referee)
Noise and vibrations belong under the sources of endangerment of the environment and can cause permanent damage of human health therefore it is necessary to legally control them. A protection is provided by a regulation by international and domestic law. The most influence on Czech law have the legislation of the European union. The foundation of the domestic public law regulation is the Public Health Protection Act and the order of the government Nr. 272/2011 Coll. which sets the highest admissible limits of noise and vibrations. The regulation of the private law is centered to the instruments of the Civil Code. The so called new Civil Code brings many changes into this legal area.
