Earthship as a meshwork of material flow: The Ethnography of the Self-sustaining House Construction Process
Deáková, Tereza ; Stöckelová, Tereza (advisor) ; Halbich, Marek (referee)
This thesis is based on a qualitative research which followed the construction process of a self-sustaining house Earthship that is located in the larger centre of Prague. I am making use of Tim Ingold's approach of ecological anthropology which allows me to track the lines of the material flow and the exchange of materials which take place within the house and during the construction process of the Prague Earthship. Apart from humans there are other actants involved in these construction processes, that is non-human materials and elements of the natural environment which the building is an integral part of and which it is embedded in. With the help of the Ingold's concept of meshwork I interpret the Earthship as a living and dynamic organism, which is connected to its environment and which is through its becoming involved in various social processes. The materiality of the building navigates actions of its builders and residents and directs them to changing their life style and everyday practices towards more sustainable consumption.

Consumers' attitudes to sustainable consumption issue
DALÍKOVÁ, Pavlína
Sustainable consumption represents consumption considerate to the needs of current and future generations. This term is quite usual since 1992 but the question is how much we have involved main principles of the sustainable consumption to our lifestyles. This thesis deals with this issue. The consumer behavior is affected by numerous external and internal factors. Traders respectively their practices are one of the major factors which involve our consumer behavior. The analyzed corporation Tesco Stores ČR, a. s. is good example in context of sustainable development (consumption). As an another step to this sustainable development (consumption) I present a strategy connected with extension of loyalty system Tesco Clubcard by green points. This can support on the one hand the sustainable consumption and on the other hand the promotion of good image of the corporation, expanding the customer base and increasing sales in this category.
