Floods in the South Bohemia Region
HRDÝ, Roman
Floods in the South Bohemia Region The first chapter provides general information including the current legislation of the Czech Republic pertinent to crisis management, floods, crisis situation and crisis state definition, and the categorisation of events/disasters, including flood. The important role of urbanism which affects the course and consequences of floods is also discussed. The second part deals with the issue of floods, their origin, classification, floodprotection measures and forecasting as connected with the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute whose functions and procedures are described. The main part presents results of the field survey carried out in the municipalities affected by floods in the South Bohemia. I describe, compare and analyze the last great floods in the years 1997, 2002 and 2006 in the Czech Republic, or the South Bohemia Region. Their intensity, progress, meteorological reasons and damages which they caused are evaluated. I generalize the factors with a direct influence on the extent of damages, including social and economic impact. In conclusion of this part, the danger of floods in the world is also mentioned. In the final part of my thesis, climatologists{\crq} opinions on global warming and the possible causation of this threat with floods are presented. The result is the confirmation or invalidation of the working hypothesis which I set for my thesis.

Flood control: evaluation of effectiveness of public expenditure programs
Vaňková, Jana ; Slavíková, Lenka (advisor) ; Šauer, Petr (referee)
Public expenditures are a very important part of public finance. These expenditures are one kind of state interventions. In long term we can observe an increasing trend of public expenditures. Very often, these expenditures are spended inefficiently and uneconomically. To be spend efficiently and economically, it should be obvious to evaluate their effectiveness. But the current situation of this problem in the Czech Republic is not ideal and usually effectiveness is not evaluated. Absence of this evaluation is a big problem of system of public finance. This thesis solves the problem of evaluating effectiveness of the public expenditure programs on the real program, called "Flood prevention". This program is implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and itś main aim is to increase the protection against flood in the Czech Republic. The first phase of this program was realized in the years 2002-2007 (the second phase has been realized in the years 2007-2012). This thesis is devoted to the first phase and the main aim is to evaluate this program with an available method. One hypothesis was set: That the program "Flood prevention" was effective and all the targets were realized. In this work I tried to find, if this hypothesis is true or fals.
