Legal regime applicable to land in the protected areas and protective zones
Hrazdilová, Dana ; Žákovská, Karolina (advisor) ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (referee)
Legal regime applicable to land in the protected areas and protective zones The aim of my thesis is to analyse the legal regime, which is applied to the protected areas and protective zones. Both institutes can be grouped among the environment protection instruments. They are also applied to the protection of other objects (e.g., water mains, cultural monuments, electric communications), especially they are applied to the protected areas. They are universal instruments because they are used in various branches of law. To achieve the objective, which is to establish the protected areas and protective zones, limitation of property rights to the respective immovables happen. The level of regulation is not always the same. Particular limitations are various and they are contained either directly in a respective act or in a regulation, which establishes a protected area or protective zone, or they are mentioned in both legal enactments. They can be formed as restrictions of particular activities with the possibility of making an exception (there are also absolute restrictions, in this case no exceptions can be made) or as activities, which can be performed only when they are approved by a respective authority. Most often the limitations happen in the field of farming and building activities. In my...

Public behaviour in protected areas - possible psychological interventions
Zahradníková, Šárka ; Štětovská, Iva (advisor) ; Uhlář, Pavel (referee)
The thesis presents results of a qualitative research conducted in The Giant Mountains National Park (Czech Republic). The research objective was to assess effects of various behaviour modification strategies on rule acceptance among Park visitors. Using a particular group of visitors (i.e. skialpinists) as an example, the conflict relationship between Park authorities and the public is described, as well as its sources and consequences for conservation efforts. Moreover, effectivity of six psychological strategies (participation, modelling, feedback providing, information providing, social norms highlighting and prompts) aimed at enhancing rule acceptance is discussed, based on focus group, as well as "real life test" data.

Analysis of Littering in the protected areas of the Czech Republic
Hejdová, Jiřina ; Benešová, Libuše (advisor) ; Kotoulová, Zdenka (referee)
The problems of litter are now getting to the forefront of attention in the realm of waste research. The phenomenon of littering is monitored especially in towns, but not so much outside the urbanized areas. Waste represents, for both esthetic and conservationist reasons, an undesirable phenomenon. This holds true for the protected areas in particular. This Master's Thesis is concerned with the analysis of litter, which should be the first step in the prevention and solution of the problems of littering. Three protected landscape areas and two national parks were chosen for this survey. Two tourist trails were selected in each protected area - the main and the minor one. The collection of litter was carried out in spring, summer and autumn. Collected waste was categorized at first and then a number of pieces, weight and volume were set for each category concerned. The largest amount of litter was collected in the National park Krkonoše and the smallest in the Protected landscape area Kokořínsko. The largest number of litter pieces is represented by cigarette waste, followed by plastic and hygienic waste. PET bottles were the most common type of litter pieces found in the category of beverage containers. Three quarters of all litter was found on the main trails. The most litter was collected in the...

Sustainable tourism and resident management in the central part of KRNAP
Brožková, Hana ; Jelínková, Jindřiška (referee) ; Čihař, Martin (advisor)
Keywords: Sustainable tourism, Protected areas, Management, Monitoring, Krkonose National Park, Residents, Spindleruv Mlyn Tourism offers various services to all participants. The constantly growing desire for discovering new landscapes, cultures, education and economic profit exerts pressure on the environmental and social surroundings that are stronger in the protected areas (PA). State and private spheres make an effort to regulate the flow of visitors through sustainable management, to which the promotion and coordination of all stakeholders of tourism is the main aim. Visitor monitoring is an essential management tool in PA and can lead to conflict resolution and reduction of the impact on nature and society. Charles University in Prague was the first institution in the Czech Republic to show concern through methodical regular visitor surveys in the PA. This work pursues and focused on the opinions of people in Krkonose tourist resort Spindleruv Mlyn (SM) in 1999, 2004 and 2009. In 2009, respondents in SM noticed the build- up of development as the most frequent ecological problem, which causes changes in social and economic life of the village as well as changes in the character of the landscape. Despite these perceptions, positive attitudes of the monitored respondents group prevailed for...

Management of the protected areas in sand habitats
Šímová, Kamila ; Pivnička, Karel (referee) ; Münzbergová, Zuzana (advisor)
Management of the protected areas in sand habitats is a thesis interested in the management techniques in relation to the sand habitats. In Central Europe, sand habitats are a rare and threatened grassland biotope. In the Czech Republic, we can find natural sand habitats localities, which are threatened by the human impact and anthropogenic localities, which tend to increase in number. Diversity and richness of the natural stands is gradually decreasing due to the high sensitivity of the species to any change of the local environment. These changes are mainly caused by the human activity. The negative effects are eutrophication, acidification and accelerated succession. The management of the sand habitats should contain many succession regulation tools and techniques reducing eutrophication. I discuss mowing, removal of the expansive plant species, pasturage, burning and sod disturbance or sod cutting. Each of these methods has specific impacts on the ecosystems and the best management combines them to achieve the best performance of the protected area. The most preferable method seems to be sod cutting, due to its high effectivity. However, there are many questions about sod cutting that need to be answered in a future study, such as how the population dynamics after sod cutting will look like, what the...

Evaluation of the development of the region of National park Czech Switzerland on the basis of social, economic and environmental indicators
Kolská, Kateřina ; Geuss, Erik (advisor) ; Branžovský, Antonín (referee)
The aim of this master thesis is to evaluate the development of the region of National park Czech Switzerland on the basis of the development of social, economic and environmental dimension. The debate about sustainable development which has been held world-wide for many years is connected to discussion of the instruments which would be able to evaluate implementation of sustainability concept. Many indicators were already evolved on world-wide, national and local level. Mainly local indicators will be discussed and a set of indicators suitable for small municipalities will be applied. The theoretical part of the thesis is devoted to definition, history, principles and other implications of sustainable development. Next chapter is addressed on the indicators of development. Theoretical base of development of indicators is amended with a summary of existing indicators, especially on the local level in the thesis. The region of the National park Czech Switzerland is introduced in the practical part of the thesis. Nine municipalities whose cadastral territory is partially located on the territory of national park belong to the region. For the evaluation of their development a set of indicators was chosen on the basis of predefined criteria.

Participative management – key to minimaze conflicts between protection of biodiversity and socio-economic development of local communities
Těšitel, Jan ; Kušová, Drahomíra ; Matějka, K. ; Boháč, J. ; Bartoš, Michael ; Kopáčková, M. ; Moravcová, Jana ; Šrubař, Vladan
The project was aimed to propose a model of optimal coexistence of biodiversity protection and socio-economic development in large-scale protected areas. Its main output was identification of principles of participative management of protected areas and estimation of circumstances necessary for its practical implementation. The project focused on description of biodiversity in particular model areas, on eventuality of changes in biodiversity due to human activities and thus on identification of actual and potential conflicts. In parallel, selected parameters of quality of life of local population, behaviour the population and its relation to the Administration of protected area and to nature protection in general were studied. Analysis of behaviour of the administration of protected areas as social institution became also part of the project. The project was designed as empirical comparative study of three biosphere reserves (BR) - BR Šumava, BR Třeboňsko a BR Křivoklátsko.
