Louda, Jiří ; Jílková, Jiřina (advisor) ; Pělucha, Martin (referee)
Sustainable development has become in last two decades a phenomenon. Principles of this concept are implemented into most of political development documents at the international, national, regional and local level. Outcomes of sustainable development assessment are often used as basis of measures which influence the process of spatial development. However there exist many approaches how to assess the sustainable development, so far it haven`t been achieved a general consensus how to do it. The aim of this thesis is a critical interpretation of literature considering sustainable development and analysis of implementation of sustainable development assessment in municipalities of Czech Republic. Method of this analysis is desk research of documents called analysis of spatial sustainable development (rozbor udržitelného rozvoje území), which the municipalities have to (by law) make out and semi-standardized interview with representatives of local and regional authorities

Cost analysis and accident response strategy in oil production in entrepreneurial sector in the context of environmental safety concept of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Rakhymzhan, Ardak ; Vojáček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Jílková, Jiřina (referee)
The role of economic theory in the preservation of nature in Kazakhstan is very current, because mining industry in this country is quite large and it is a considerable burden for the environment. This burden is obvious mostly in extraction and processing of crude oil. The main aim of this thesis is the analysis of state environmental policy with the focus on prevention of oil spills in the Caspian Sea in accordance with "State concept of ecological safety in Kazakhstan in 2004-2015" and also methods of oil spills removal as tools for environment protection including factual techniques and firm based costs linked to the removal of oil spills. Thesis will also include the comparison of effectiveness of existing models for oil spills removal used by companies in Kazakhstan. The first part of work is methodologically based on analysis of secondary sources: scientific articles and literature, ecology bulletins, official data of Ministry of environment in Kazakhstan, firm based data and "State concept of ecological safety".

Efficiency in international funds for climate change
Husová, Kateřina ; Jílková, Jiřina (advisor) ; Vojáček, Ondřej (referee)
In years long negotiations on the new global climate change regime, financial support provided for adaptation and mitigation in developing countries have been one of the most contentious issues. Billions dollars are in questions annually, disbursed both by private investments, as well as substantially via public funds. The fundamental question resonating in the negotiations and elsewhere though is the issue of efficient delivery. Given the scale of resources, which should be mobilized and disbursed, given the current experience with inefficiencies in ODA, given the fact that existing climate change funds are now disbursing millions but not billions, the efficiency is really the key for success of future climate regime. Moreover, efficient delivery is a pre-condition for "preventing dangerous interference with climate change", which is the ultimate goal of climate change policy enshrined in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change envisages. It is a widespread belief that inefficiency in disbursing public funds remains at the recipient's side. This paper tries to approach the efficiency question at the case of the Global Environment Facility, the Kyoto Protocol Adaptation Fund and the World Bank Climate Investment Funds. It asks the question whether the existing funding mechanisms in climate change are set up optimally in order to disburse funds efficiently. When looking at their internal policies and guidelines, it focuses on the four leading questions -- how can funds be accessed, who decides, who and how implements and how are funds held accountable. It finds that there are major differences between the tree funds in how and by whom are priorities and objectives decided, what are the fund's requirements on recipients, and how does the fund control the efficiency of its spending. This paper brings an in-depth analysis of weak and strong policies in existing climate change funds with regard to efficient delivery.

Tradable permits in Waste Management
Mačková, Markéta ; Jílková, Jiřina (advisor) ; Slavík, Jan (referee)
In this diploma thesis is being explored the possibility of using tradable permits in waste management as an efficient tool for motivating and guiding market participants. Waste in the world each year is increasing and burdensome for the economy in terms of the cost of disposal or storage, and for the environment in terms of expanding the number of landfills. The European Union has set mandatory guidelines through a specific quantitative value of natural resources in the field of waste management, which Member States are obliged to respect. These include a minimum percentage return and recycling of packaging materials, or the maximum amount of biodegradable waste that can be stored in landfills. The Directive also set the exact dates of compliance with those commitments. The goal of the diploma thesis is to critically analyze existing knowledge and experience in using tools of tradable permits. On the economic analysis follows the discussion options for wider application of this instrument in the regulation of waste management.

Would the phenomenon of organic farming boom and flourish even without the generous support of subsidies?
Mojžíšová, Radka ; Slavíková, Lenka (advisor) ; Jílková, Jiřina (referee)
This bachelor thesis should answer this question: Would the phenomenon of organic farming boom and flourish even without the generous support of subsidies? Would there still be an interest in existing in this field even without pump-priming done by the state and by the European Union? Would the mere desire to live more healthily be enough for organic farmers? We will examine the growth in popularity of organic food which is illustrated by the existence of 2000 organic farms in the Czech Republic and also by the supply of organic food in shops. The theoretical part deals with the explanation of the term "organic farming". Attention also will be paid to legal regulations because organic farming in the Czech Republic is defined by Act No 242/2000 coll. on organic farming, by MoA Decree 16/2006 coll., by Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008, by Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic production which came into effect on January 1, 2009. The thesis also deals with Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union between 2007 and 2013, the Action Plan of the Czech Republic for the Development of Organic Farming and principles of subsidisation in the year 2009. The practical part will be focused on results on economic analysis at approximately 3 farms which are specialised in bull or goat production.

Politika podpory obnovitelných zdrojů energie
Malý, Jan ; Jílková, Jiřina (advisor) ; Vojáček, Ondřej (referee)
Renewable energy sources support policy employs a great variety of economic tools in order to promote the use of green energy. Following thesis at first offers an overview and economic insight into the most applied ones. Since the majority of the European Union Member States nowadays prefer so-called feed-in tariffs schemes we proceed in-depth analysis of effectiveness of that instrument in electricity sector in four selected European countries Austria, Czech Republic, Germany and Spain. An effectiveness indicator which compares marginal electricity generation potential with additional realizable potential of particular renewable energy sources technology is used for that analysis. The results clearly show that the best practice of feed-in tariff design is pursued in Germany where the special set of tariff design and adjustment measures is applied.
