Voluntary agreements in the environment - advantages and disadvantages
URBÁNEK, Aleš
The diploma thesis topic is Voluntary agreements in the environment problems and advantages. The theoretical part describes how the attitude to the environment was developing, from the restrictive regulations to the first voluntary attitudes. The part of the thesis is devoted to the problems of the environment´s valuation because one of the tasks of the voluntary agreements is the effort to internalize externalities. For this the valuation of the environment is needed, which is problematic. At first the voluntary attitudes to the environmental protection are described in general and there are voluntary agreements that are described more in detail. The practical part is devoted to the problems of voluntary agreements in the Czech Republic. All voluntary agreements made in the Czech Republic are described. These particular agreements are assessed according to their results whether they fulfilled their purpose because of which they had been made. The component of the practical part is also a questionnaire which was to be filled in by companies which have been using some voluntary attitude, e.g. EMAS, ecolabeling or some voluntary agreement. In the conclusion the attitude of The Ministry of the Environment to the voluntary agreements is assessed as well as the effect of the voluntary agreements in the Czech Republic itself.
Impact of floods on the property market in Prague
Timko, Peter ; Melichar, Jan (advisor) ; Kaprová, Kateřina (referee)
Master's thesis is focused on the problem of the economic impacts of floods on the property market in Prague. Aim of this work is to clarify whether the floods affect the price of real estate and to what extent. Hypothesis is that floods affect the price of property in flood plains. This effect is determined by the hedonic price model (HPM) for the analysis of secondary data. The theoretical part explains the risk of flooding and floodplains mapping. This section further explains the whole hedonic model and reviewed studies provide a research procedure outside the Czech Republic region. The practical part deals with the exploratory analysis, regression analysis and hedonic price modeling based on the implicit price of flooding. Finding of the thesis is the fact that property prices in Prague are affected by the Q100 flood plains resulting in positive and negative impact confirmed by a log-log weighted least squares regression model. It is shown that implicit price of flooding far exceeds the cost of building flood protection measures in Prague.
The noise impact on Prague market of dwelling: NSDI of road noise versus NSDI of tram noise
Šohajová, Renata ; Melichar, Jan (advisor) ; Máca, Vojtěch (referee)
This paper is studying an impact of price of noise on a market price of dwelling. I focus on a difference of impacts of road and tram traffic especially. I use a hedonic price model for Prague data. I illustrate a noise concept and its impact on people and society in theory because it encourages economics. I describe the hedonic price model and Noise Sensitivity Depreciation Index. I describe a descriptive analysis, regression analysis, modeling of hedonic price function of tram noise and road noise in practical part. I learn I can't compare hedonic models of tram noise and road noise because noise coefficients are not significant and they are bad oriented. Therefore I create the hedonic price model for night noise that was only one significant and negative.
