Fenomén urban gardening
Kozáková, Petra
The diploma thesis aims to introduce the phenomenon of urban gardening and identify the benefits provided by the urban environment and society. The benefits of urban horticulture are identified as a possible adaptation measure concerning ongoing climate change. The types of urban gardening, approaches and possibilities of its application in practice are presented. Trends in urban horticulture and individual aspects are described on the example in the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Sweden. The specific benefits of urban gardening were expressed on a specific example of a community garden in Brno using CBA analysis (cost-benefit analysis). The author worked here with data provided to her directly from the staff of the selected community garden and also based on the "willingness to pay" method, in which she addressed 100 respondents. The result of the CBA analysis was an evaluation of the community garden project, which determined the return on investment and its net present value.

The project plan evaluates the economic efficiency of the alternative method of plant cultivation. The economic analysis is followed by an evaluation of the environmental impacts of hydroponic cultivation. The first chapters of the thesis focus on the theory of bioeconomics, hydroponic cultivation and a description of current world megatrends. The thesis also discusses the role of hydroponics in the context of global challenges and the European Union´s view on hydroponics. It is followed by a chapter describing the methodology for proceeding with the development of a business plan and a cost-benefit analysis methodology. These methodologies provide guidelines for the practical part. The first part of the practical part of this thesis focuses on the business plan for the hydroponic farm project, which includes several subchapters and analyses. First, the characteristics of the owner, project and products are described, followed by analyses of the market, customers, competitors and suppliers, then the staffing, marketing strategy are described and the project implementation schedule is presented. All costs and revenues are quantified in detail in the individual chapters and from these, a financial plan is summarized, including financial statements and projections for various scenarios and options for financing the project. Subsequently, the economic management of the project and its potential success is evaluated using evaluation indicators, risk analysis, PESTEL, Porter's analysis of 5 competitive forces and SWOT analysis. The hydroponic project is then compared with the conventional agriculture production within the cost-benefit analysis and evaluated from an environmental perspective in association with theoretical knowledge and information.

The pay-off of increased physical activity in the Czech Republic: A cost-benefit analysis of offering people financial incentives to alter their exercise behavior
Schnabl, Valentin ; Votápková, Jana (advisor) ; Turdaliev, Salim (referee)
The main objective of this thesis is to determine whether financial incentive to increase exercise behavior are economically feasible in the Czech Republic. We therefore construct a cost-savings model that compares current physical activity levels in the Czech Republic with two hypothetical physical activity improvement scenarios to assess the potential healthcare savings of a more fit population. The model follows an epidemiological approach and estimates potential healthcare savings based on the association of physical inactivity with five major non-communicable diseases. We conclude that neither improvement scenario justifies the implementation of financial incentive, as their costs are likely to exceed their benefits. Nonetheless our estimates show that healthcare expenditures due to physical inactivity are substantial. In particular, those associated with diabetes. Keywords physical activity, public budget, healthcare ex- penditures Title The pay-o of increased physical activity in the Czech Republic: A cost-benefit analysis of of- fering people financial incentives to alter their exercise behavior Author's e-mail 39878800@fsv.cuni.cz Supervisor's e-mail jana.votapkova@fsv.cuni.cz

The goal of the thesis is to compare the profitability of Czechoslovak New Wave movies with the rest of the movies made in 1960s in Czechoslovakia. The comparison uses statistical tests and visualising using boxplots. The comparison consists of three steps; the comparison of gains, the comparison of production costs and the comparison of attendance. The comparison of production costs is supplemented by comparison of the exterior filming typical for Czechoslovak New Wave and by regression model showing which factors had influence on production costs. Among the factors are exterior filming, atelier filming, whole production time and the model contains also dummies: film color, film format and whether the movie is Czechoslovak New Wave movie or not. This analysis is put into Czechoslovak political and economic background since 1945 to 1970.
