The concept of the interviews was chosen to disclose an individual factors that can affect environmental awareness (school, family, af- ter school activity etc.). The schools, which students were selected from, were sorted out not only by the criterion of conventionality but by approach to en- vironmental protection as well.

Sokolíková, Eliška ; Machová, Kristýna (advisor) ; Chaloupková, Helena (referee)
The theme of the bachelor`s thesis is the possibility to use the dog in diverse areas and activities of physiotherapy.
Physiotherapy is a part of the comprehensive rehabilitation and deals with diagnostics, therapy and prevention of musculoskeletal system disorders. The physiotherapists apply a lot of supportive therapeutic methods in their practice and cooperate with other disciplines so that the best possible results of treatment are achieved. Animal- assisted therapy (AAT), thanks to positive effect on human health, has become in recent years a very popular supportive therapeutic method of various difficulties. The AAT is gaining its position in physiotherapeutic area as well.
The dog, one of the most frequently used animals in AAT, can assist in many fields of physiotherapy. What quality must the dog applicable for AAT meet and the theories about effect of AAT on human beings are also described in the thesis. The topic about the dog assisted rehabilitation is thoroughly depicted on particular examples and the chapter about positioning with dogs, that is the most common application of dogs in therapies, is not missing. The chapter about assistance dogs for people with moving difficulties can serve as a proof that the dog, as a part of physiotherapeutic care, can be present not only during therapies. The dog in this case has become an everyday assistant and can substitute various walking tools (crutches, walkers) or help people in wheelchairs with movement. The thesis is also mapping impact of dog ownership on motoric activity. The conclusion of literary research is dedicated to the chapter examining influence of the therapy on the dog itself.
The practical part, which is attached as an integral section of the thesis, contains three designs of canistherapeutical units for various groups of clients within physiotherapy field. Canistherapeutical units were designed in collaboration with physiotherapists so that it can maximize the effect of AAT on the musculoskeletal system. These designs are: plan of the therapy for children with Down syndrome, spastic form of cerebral palsy and for children with developmental dysphasia.
