Environmental impacts of the floods in the South Bohemia area
TOMANOVÁ, Markéta
The environmental impacts of floods on the territory of South Bohemia was chosen as a topic of a thesis for several fundamental reasons. One main reason is the significance of the landscape and reflect on its values. The landscape is a set of individually occurring scenic features and extensive landscape structures, in which have individual natural compounds their irreplaceable function. Besides landscapes, the floods have a different environmental impact. Since 1997, the occurrence of floods has unexpectedly increased, and therefore the issue is getting more and more attention. Currently, the so-called environmental security is a hot topic, the evidence can be seen in the increase in professional publications and it also gets into the school curricula. Although the thesis focuses on the territory of South Bohemia, the results can be applied for the entire Czech Republic. The final survey includes a total of eight municipalities with extended powers, where interviews were conducted with the employees of the Department of the Environment, the Crisis Management,the Regional Hygiene Station of the South Bohemia, the Vltava River Basin and selected agricultural companies. This thesis titled "The environmental impact of floods in the South Bohemia" aims to evaluate the changes caused by the floods in the affected areas in the South Bohemia a reserach questiion follows: What are the effects of floods in terms of environmental impact in the South Bohemian Region? To achieve the set objectives the method of literature research was used, by which the basic information necessary to understand the issue was described. The method of qualitative research was also used; the reasearch was based on structured interviews with experts in the field. Afterwards, the information were logically organized and evaluated. The thesis is divided into two general parts. The first is a theoretical part, which describes the flood and its categories and its causes. It also explains the factors affecting the flood, the impacts on habitat and the flood retention capacity and its increase. It also describes and compares the largest floods in the Czech Republic since the 19th century, the basic law governing the issue of water and floods, flood protection organization in the Czech Republic and last but not least, the environmental security and the definition of the duties of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute. The second part describes the effects of floods in terms of the environmental impacts and describes its recourse. The nature needs some changes in order to be varied. That may come in the form of floods, even though after the water decrease its tremendous power and devastating effects can be seen. Based on research, it was found that there are long-term impacts on the landscape and environment but they are not so crucial. Water takes everything that comes its way, but the landscape itself can handle water very well. Drops of water soak into the ground or flow into the watercourse. The consequences of flooding depend on how much is the soil able to absorb water and how much time it would take. Unfortunately, this nature´s ability is distorted mostly by people and their actions. The water soil soaking is spoiled by buildings, badly tilled soil, inadequate food planting and destroyed hedgerows that serve as a hiding place for the animals. Maybe if the greatest importance was not emphasized on protecting people and their health, people would care more about the landscape and would be grateful for what nature offers and provides. The fundamentals of this work are solutions that would improve the environmental situation. The care should be taken not only to individual preventive measures, but to prevent floods and minimize their consequences. The starting point is to increase the retention, since the landscape has a short-term water retention problem.

The role of fire brigades in protection of the district Vysočina inhabitants.
KADLEC, Radek
The target of this bachelor thesis is to determine implementation of professional training of members of predetermined fire units and create list of technical equipment of volunteer fire brigade units of County Vysocina predetermined to solve tasks in civil protection. In the research I tried to find answer to two main questions: are there any fire units in County Vysocina predetermined to solve civil protection challenges and are the members of these units competent to perform these tasks? The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part describes the civil protection and its historical development in the Czech Republic and the organization of fire their tasks and specialization. The end of the theoretical part describes the implementation of basic professional training and gaining competence within the members of volunteer fire brigades units in the Czech Republic according to applicable legislation. Within the qualitative research two methods were used: questionnaire survey and structured interview. The questionnaire survey was carried out in predetermined voluntary fire brigades units of County Vysocina and was aimed at their predetermination, providing and managing professional training. The questions for the commanders of units predetermined to provide humanitarian aid to the motorway D1 were extended to provide information about the technical equipment to provide short-term assistance and if their units have been sent by control room to provide humanitarian assistance in a mass accident on the motorway D1.The interviews with the fire brigade members at the civil protection and crisis management departments are divided into three parts. The first part questions ask about the number of predetermined volunteer fire units in county Vysocina and Pelhrimov district predetermined for civil protection and their technical equipment. The second part of the discussion focuses on professional training. In the last part I asked questions concerning the specific seminar which should provide professional competence in civil protection. This seminar should be open for all the predetermined units of County Vysocina in 2016. The practical part of the thesis presents gained information compiled into graph. Next I enclosed open answers from the interviews led in both civil protection and Crisis management department in Pelhrimov district and civil protection and Crisis management in Regional Headquarters of the Fire brigade of County Vysocina. The first research question confirms that in County Vysocina volunteer fire units predetermined to deal with emergencies in the area of civil protection are located. The evaluation showed that units of category JPO II and JPO III are determined primarily for implementation of these tasks. The research showed, that technical equipment is provided in County Vysocina only to volunteer fire units predetermined for the short-term humanitarian assistance to motorway D1. The fire units predetermined for other tasks are provided with the needed equipment from the stocks or supply of professional fire unit stations. For this reason I suggest possibility to predetermine units of JPO V categories for emergencies other than humanitarian assistance for D1.Regarding the goal of the work, the satisfactory degree of the basic and repeated professional training of fire brigade units in territorial departments was confirmed. I would only recommend focus on introducing more practical training concerning civil protection. The collected information relating to the second research question about the competence of unit members showed that in field of civil protection the competence is incomplete. Seminar to ensure proficiency in civil protection techniques in County Vysocina will be organized for all the predetermined units in 2016. I recommend this course to be performed directly at the territorial fire unit's stations.

Danger of intoxication of small children and readiness of educational institutions in accidents with dangerous substances release
KOHUTOVÁ, Renáta
Abstract: It is very important for the whole society to pay attention to the health condition of small children. The thesis is focused on a possible effect of chemical and toxic substances which may endanger child{\crq}s health every day. In every house with children there are many types of food, products, medicine, or also plants which can endanger children. According to the research (e.g. with milk, vitamin A or paracethamol) there are provable food items unsuitable for children in many cases. Also house plants or bushes commonly grown at home or at yards in pre-schools may also be a cause of health problems of small children. Another important aspect, which is often neglected by parents, is a material that the toys are made of. The second part of the thesis is devoted to the research which was carried out at the territory of Karviná region in 19 pre-schools (PS). There were two files of entities designed for the needs of the thesis. In one file there are 87 pedagogical workers who are employed in pre-schools. The second file covers 155 parents whose children attend randomly selected pre-schools. Both parents and pedagogical workers were asked similar questions in the form of questionnaire, which are related to the information from the area of civilian protection. The main topic here was the danger of hazardous chemical substances release. These questions were to test theoretical competence of adults to react in proper way in such cases, immediately and correctly, thus protecting themselves and children mainly. The conclusion with both groups is that the knowledge from the area of civilian protection is insufficient. Most of the respondents (67 % of teachers and 57 % of parents) would not react in a correct way. Only a very little part of the questioned persons was able to name some of the tools of the individual protection. These outcomes were then handed to the Fire Rescue Brigade of the Moravian-Silesian Region, and they will be used as support material for making changes in the system of information for citizens, and especially pedagogy workers in the area of civilian protection. One of the possible benefits of this thesis is also a creation of an education aid for the officers in duty with handicapped citizens.

Population´s Awareness in Case of Epidemic Infection Herd Occurrence
SÝKOROVÁ, Žaneta
Population´s Awareness in Case of Epidemic Infection Herd Occurrence This diploma work deals with the problem of biological weapons. It consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part describes biological weapons in general, the options of their use and the principles of population´s protection. Further, I focussed on selected diseases which are considered to present biological weapons. The information I acquired is based on technical literature, the internet and the current legislation. The practical part of my diploma work deals with the opinions and attitudes of the Czech population concerning biological weapons and the potential risks of being exposed to biological weapons. Further I tried to find out whether the Czech population is aware of the basic issues of the problem in question. At the same time I focussed on comparing the state of awareness in the age groups of the economically active population on the one side and senior citizens on the other side. The research results have shown that the issue of biological weapons tends not to be appreciated adequately and that the opinions found in both age groups do not show significant differences. Further, an analysis of the acquired data has shown that the rate of awareness of the basic issues of the problem is low and that the population lacks sufficient information how to respond to a biological weapon attack in case of suspected assault. Differences in the level of awareness in the studied age groups have not been confirmed. The research has also shown that the respondents feel they do not have access to sources of sufficient and adequate information on biological weapons. Based on the acquired facts I have written a brochure providing information on biological weapons as well as on the recommended measures in case of suspected exposure. I have also elaborated a proposal concerning the implementation of the project and the distribution of the brochure.

The protection of a territory of the municipality with extended competence in case of a special flood
PROISL, Ivo
This bachelor thesis focuses mainly on protection of the population against effects of a special flood and it partly uses experience from natural floods in the past years. The protection against a special flood is in this thesis mostly applied to the territory of the town of Český Krumlov, the municipality with extended competence, situated downstream the Lipno hydraulic structure. One chapter describes the current situation and lists the floods experienced in the past years; another chapter deals with inputs for definition of floodplains and territories threatened by a special flood and describes basic activities of flood management bodies and owners of hydraulic structures. One section of the chapter on the current situation summarizes basic characteristics of the Lipno hydraulic structure and components of the Integrated Rescue System on the territory of the municipality with extended competence Český Krumlov. One of the objectives of the thesis was the evaluation of awareness and knowledge among the town residents; another objective was to verify how elaborate the individual inputs are and to evaluate the scope of consequences of a special flood downstream the mentioned hydraulic structure. The data about the knowledge were acquired by means of questionnaires and evaluated in form of diagrams. A qualitative method of research was used to evaluate how elaborate the individual measures are; in order to determine the scope of the special flood I compared the planned numbers of evacuated residents with the numbers of residents actually evacuated during the natural flood in 2002. The acquired results have shown that the existing documentation is sufficiently elaborate, however, it is essential to update it on a running basis. It is also necessary to improve the level of awareness among the general public. Other results have confirmed that the size of the territory endangered with a special flood is substantial and incomparably larger than in case of natural floods.
