Environmental Migration Resulting from the Planned Use of the Territory. Case study in the Slezská Harta Micro-region.
Cahlíková, Zuzana ; Drbohlav, Dušan (advisor) ; Stojanov, Robert (referee)
This thesis is dealing with environmental migration resulting from the planned use of the territory, i.e. development displacement or resettlement. The aim of this thesis is to describe this process, to promote its understanding and to analyze its causes and consequences on people and communities. Academic literature dealing with development displacement in general was used together with many case studies. The thesis discusses the resettlement process in the Czech Republic, especially the actual case of the development displacement in the village of Nové Heřminovy. The main part of this thesis is the research conducted in the Slezská Harta micro-region, where 675 persons were displaced due to the building of the dam Slezská Harta in the late 80s and early 90s. The method of interview was used to analyze concequences of development displacement on people and communities (i.e. villages, which were affected by the dam construction). Interviews were made with 17 individuals who were somehow affected by the process of development displacement, mainly by being displaced. Key words: environmental migration, development displacement, Slezská Harta

Many faces of Chernobyl: temporality, toxicity, complexity in the lives of environmental migrants
Podlesná, Valentina ; Kuřík, Bohuslav (advisor) ; Michal, Šipoš (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on the topic of environmental migration because of the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986. The main questions of the thesis are whether the Chernobyl accident is associated at any social level with environmental migration to the Czech Republic? To what time is the event socially framed? In what areas and how does the accident currently affect the lives of the environmental migrants? The diploma thesis has two research parts. The first part is a media analysis, which shows that the Chernobyl accident is mostly socially perceived as a matter of the past and is not associated with environmental migration to the Czech Republic. The second research part is based on anthropological research of semi- structured interviews with respondents. The result of this research is the division of radiation toxicity into five dimensions (political, biological, potential, reproductive, migration), in which the consequences of the Chernobyl accident continue to manifest themselves in the lives of environmental migrants. The dimensions of toxicity take place in different time frames, so the work also focuses on the temporality of modern accidents. The social perception of the Chernobyl accident as a finished event does not mean that it is no longer present in human lives. The aim of the...

Climate change impacts on population of Sri Lanka and adaptation strategies
Molnárová, Bára ; Stojanov, Robert (advisor) ; Siwek, Tadeusz (referee)
The main aim of the study is to analyse households' adaptation measures to the climate change and its impacts in Sri Lanka such as extreme weather events - especially floods, landslides, heavy rains, droughts or water deficiency. Another objective of this study is to identify how locals perceive climate change impacts, what they think the specific causes are, what the implications and consequences are and what are their impacts on their households in selected regions in Sri Lanka. I also tried to identify which changes of climate they personally observe (if any) and what they think about it. The case study is based on my research, which I realized in July - September 2016 in Sri Lanka. I focused on two neighbour districts: one of them is Anuradhapura district, which is on the northwest of the island and it is in the dry climatic zone of the island. The second district is Matale, which is located in highlands and there is more humidity. I examined the perception of local residents to changes in the climate, which is, whether they realize that changes are caused by the global climate change and that the situation will deteriorate further, or whether they have another explanation. In connection with this, I also examined whether they have any plans or predictions of the future and how they adapt for...

Environmentální migrace ve Střední Asii a její socioekonomické souvislosti
Sandryukhina, Ksenia
This thesis focuses on the problem of environmental migration in Central Asia and its socioeconomic links. As a consequence of global climate change and more frequent occurrence of natural disasters environmental migration becomes more important, and at the present time Central Asia ranks among the regions where environmental degradation has a substantial influence on population migration. The thesis deals with the theoretical aspects of migration including its potential causes. On the basis of studying specialized literature this thesis creates an overview of the problem of environmental migration in the world and in the selected Central Asia states. Within the thesis was carried out the detailed analysis of the scale and structure of environmental migration and its socioekonomic links in the Sughd region of Tajikistan. In conclusion, the solutions of arisen socioeconomic problems were created with the emphasis on the elimination or at least mitigation of negative impacts of environmental problems that directly cause migration and the improvement of quality of life of rural population.

Mikulčíková, Šárka
The bachelor thesis is focused on environmental migration caused by land degradation in the Maghreb region. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to evaluate the impacts of land degradation based on economic, political and agricultural indicators. There were stated three hypotheses and their verity was either proved or disproved according to the corre-lation analysis. In the theoretical part of this bachelor thesis are defined terms relating to the environmental migration and causes of the land degradation in North Africa. The practical part is focused on characterization and comparison of countries in the Maghreb region based on the correlation analysis. As a conclusion there are interpreted the results and suggested possible solutions.

Legal aspects of the relationship between development projects and environmental migration
Hájková, Martina ; Honusková, Věra (advisor) ; Žákovská, Karolina (referee)
This master thesis is focused on international-legal analysis of the relationship between development projects and environmental migration. The relationship between development projects and environmental migration is from the point of view of the international law almost unexamined and unregulated area, so this is the reason why I chose this theme as the topic of my research. The aim of this thesis is to analyse this relationship in respect to the international law and to search for an appropriate international legal instrument to regulate this relationship. The outputs are the answers to the following research questions: What is development project and what is environmental migration? What are the legal aspects of the relationship between development projects and environmental migration? Is it possible to treat this relationship in international law? Why is this area neglected by international law? Would not it be better to create a separate international legal framework for resettlement caused by development projects? The diploma thesis is composed of four main chapters, under which I am progressively trying to find answers to the above mentioned research questions. The first chapter is devoted to the development project and to determination of its definition, including its terminological...

Environmentaly induced migration
Dvorská, Eliška ; Žákovská, Karolina (advisor) ; Snopková, Tereza (referee)
Many people worldwide are forced to leave their homes because of serious degradation of environmental conditions, natural disasters and depletion of natural resources. Growing impacts of climate change and global warming on the environment and human mobility are becoming increasingly worrying, creating a need for protection of those environmentally displaced persons. Although there has been a great attention paid to this phenomenon, the category of so-called "environmental refugees" still continues unrecognized by the international community. The paper examines the circumstances under which environmental migration occurs, its causes and consequences. It deals with state obligations rising from the international environmental law, especially those related to climate change. It deals with the terminology related to the environmentally displaced persons, such as environmental migrants, environmental refugees or environmentally displaced persons. It presents their classification and defines the key terms. The paper also mentions cases of environmental migration in the world and their possible solution, highlighting the need for prevention and adaptation. Most of the paper is dedicated to the analysis of the legal status and rights of environmentally displaced persons. The paper analyses the...
