Moreover this analysis confirms sociocultural and environmental sustainability of project. Then cost-benefit analysis was carried out. This cost-benefit analysis creates the required minimum number of use of cycling routes EuroVelo per year (with given opportunity costs) so that the project will be sustainable economically. With the highest simulated opportunity costs (20%) the minimum number of usage per year must be 3,08 million.

Pension system of the Slovak republic received positive evaluation and admiration from many European and world institutions after its reform in 2005. Since then the system went through significant legislative changes that affect its appearance and functioning. In the bachelor thesis I do analyse the profitability of entry to the fully-funded pillar of pension's system and compare the replacement rate of pensions from the PAYG system. Furthermore, I discuss these calculations and suggest possible steps to improve setting of the system.
