Sedlák, Jaroslav ; Kováč, Bohumil (referee) ; Wittmann, Maxmilian (referee) ; Kopáčik, Gabriel (advisor)
Housing estate quarters of urban structures, that have been built in the period of socialism, currently suffer from the necessary urban transformations and neoplasms. While both here and in many other countries of the former Soviet satellites, is a form of housing estates and their development tied by regulations and "economic players" who determine the radical architectural or urban design changes, in areas of the former Soviet Union is the current form of housing units resulted by unguided architectural and urban interventions. Though in many cases, the expansive examples that are bordering with so called "folk art", we can observe on them the functional principles of "urbanity". They may represent a potential for future design and development of housing estates in the Czech Republic. The thesis will thematize the process of using bloc-of-flats areas in Czech republic as well as in economically low powerful countries, namely Moldova and Georgia. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, while new economic system has destroyed the original urban structure so called mikrorajon, with the development of small individualism the private sector has changed the form of the city housing estate. The total economic collapse and lack of spatial regulation began to offer an accessible alternative housing and place to do business. We can discover kiosks and gradually expanding parterres of real urban type. At the same time we can see new front of street responding to space reserves and distance, as well as appearance of vertical streets inside the houses. The construction itself is no longer just a place for living, but many flats are used as offices and small businesses. Services are developed and the total value of diversity of the environment begins to grow rapidly. Typical monotony of housing units is starting to fade and transformed into a network monitoring the needs of the population. Thus the periphery offer a distinctive part of the city.

Ecological modernization theory - facts and context. Historical perspective, conditions and limits of the neoliberal sustainability concept
Oharková, Alena ; Novák, Arnošt (advisor) ; Lapka, Miloslav (referee)
Ecological modernization theory - facts and context. Historical perspective, conditions and limits of the neoliberal sustainability koncept Annotation: This diploma thesis deals with the synthesis of ideas of ecological modernization theory, which has been developing since the 80's of the 20th century particularly in Western Europe. The ecological modernization theory wants to explain, interpret and propose environmental reforms in conjunction with continued economical growth, industrial development and globalization. The ecological modernization theory argues that a continuous industrial development does not lead inevitably to environmental degradation, but rather provides the best possible way out of the environmental crisis. Although the ecological modernization theory is a relatively young concept, during the first thirty years of its existence has greatly expanded and diversified, gained countless supporters and opponents, provoked a number of debates and inspired many empirical studies. This development, however, has led not only to new findings but also resulted in a dilution of the ecological modernization theory, which thereby has become confusing, vague and inconsistent. This thesis attempts to give a framework to the ecological modernization theory to specify not only its main ideas and goals,...

The Argentine Army as an economic factor
Daříčková, Eva ; Opatrný, Josef (advisor) ; Křížová, Markéta (referee) ; Barteček, Ivo (referee)
The doctoral thesis The Argentine Army as an Economic Factor focuses on civil-military relations that are key to understanding the history, the development of modern society, and even the reality of current Argentina. The main myth that characterizes Argentine history is that the interruption of the development of the democratic processes is due to military interventions. Both in Argentine society and in the international sphere, there is a purely negative opinion about the Argentine military, in particular related to the shock caused by the last military dictatorship. This sentiment still permeates the cultural and moral face of society. This paper offers another vision of the Argentine military and tries to contribute to overcome an overly simplified perception and the prejudice that derives from it. The first part of the paper examines the emergence of military power and the characteristics of the political system in the first half of the 20th century. This section points out the causes for which the Army overstepped its specific functions and entered into the political life of Argentina. The second part is devoted to the Argentine economic system and its characteristics, from its insertion in the global market and its development through the economic policies of various governments. This...
