Public-Private Partnership institutionalization in transport infrastructure
Novotný, Michal ; Witz, Petr (advisor) ; Plaček, Michal (referee)
The thesis focuses on Public-Private Partnership institutionalization in the context of Czech infrastructure since the introduction of the D4 project. The main objective is to analyse the fulfilment of the prerequisites of PPP success through PPP enabling field perspective. This includes an analysis of the know-how of the public sector, an analysis of political support and an analysis of the regulatory framework. The paper aims to examine the reasoning behind political decision-making and the processes within the Ministry of Transport. It also analyses both the direct and indirect involvement of advisors and MFIs in PPP project preparations.

Architecture of travelling
Drgala, Andrej ; Hradecký,, Aleš (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
The design deals with the construction of the new railway station in Bratislava- Filialka situated at the current browfied, presently not used freight depot, as a part of a complex conception of a public transport in Bratislava. Nevertheless, the project does not just design the railway station as a utilitarian traffic issue but it offers a complex vision of the transformation of the whole location into a new sub-centre of Bratislava by means of constructing new offices and dwellings untraditionally built above the rails. The goal of the project is to transform the station into an integral part of the Bratislava urban structure and trigger off social life in it. The ambition of the design is to maximally exploit the potentials of the location and offer the vision of a coexistence between the private and public sectors.

Transformation of Public -Private Partnership in the post-New Public Management era: challenges to British and Spanish approaches
Witz, Petr ; Rovná, Lenka (advisor) ; Ochrana, František (referee)
The diploma thesis aims to examine and compare public sector structures involved in managing the deals under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP)/Private Finance Initiative (PFI) in the UK and Spain as well as application of Public-Private-Citizen Collaboration (PC2) framework within the two systems in the era of post-New Public Management. The spread and use of knowledge and skills capacities and the overall ability of the national institutional models to protect the public interest in an effective and efficient way is assessed together with openness and transparency of PPP programmes where the scale and quality of use of the Web 2.0 tools able to reach and engage citizens in the process of implementing the policy and procurement of individual schemes play an important role. Special attention is paid to the ways in which the private sector entities on the one side and citizens on the other can approach the public authorities and influence the shape and features of the partnership and its results. PPP has been widely used for financing of investments into the public infrastructure in many countries in Europe and elsewhere. This comparative study introduces an "ideal" imaginary PPP model based on the new paradigms' criteria and uses it as a point of reference for assessing the progress in PPP...

Effective governance for Public-Private Partnerships: challenges and solutions for existing models
Witz, Petr ; Ochrana, František (advisor) ; Pavel, Jan (referee) ; Jurčík, Radek (referee)
The last two decades have witnessed a rapid development of various forms of Public-Private Partnerships in Europe. Transport belongs to sectors where PPPs have been most visible and transformative. Yet not all countries have embraced the new method in the same manner. As some initial studies indicate, their PPP readiness varies quite significantly. At the same time, PPP as a product of New Public Management appeared to be in ideological conflict with several new competing paradigms in the field of public policy and public administration. So far, however, no single study has shown how these compatibility issues are dealt with in practice and how (un)successful in reality the European countries are at implementing transport PPPs. This is mostly due to difficulties in formulating appropriate and comparable evaluation criteria. At the same time, with many projects it was simply a bit too early to say whether the original expectations had been met. This study uses a negative definition of PPP success and establishes the failure rate for each country from the sample. In doing so, it only takes into account projects that were abandoned or seriously distressed and modified in advance stages of the procurement process. As a result, transport PPP failure rates of selected European countries are compared. At...

An Evaluation of Water Supply Ownership in Europe
Klímová, Dana ; Vacek, Pavel (advisor) ; Kosturák, Matej (referee)
1 Abstract This thesis deals with the topic of effective ownership structures in the water supply industry in Europe. It gives background information on the types of ownership and the cooperation between public and private sector. Furthermore, it gives an overview of state regulation and the competetive nature of the water supply market and explains how the water is priced by the companies. The core of the thesis is the evaluation of performance and effectiveness of private and public entities in water supply. Past literature and research are discussed regarding the performance of each sector and the case of Italian water supply services is given leading to reasons for water privatization. This work further develops the effectiveness of public-private partnership with regards to water provision. Moreover the multiple regression analysis shows the dependence of water tariffs on privatization level, competition, the amount of the freshwater resources and volume of abstraction, and 'richness' of selected European regions. This gives a reasoning of water price setting and shows the influence of ownership on the level of the tariffs. This paper provides not only solid understanding of the effective water supply ownership issue, but also provides a base and suggestions for further research. Keywords water supply,...

Limits and Risks of Public-Private Partnerships Development
Šafránková, Lucie ; Kadeřábková, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Toth, Petr (referee)
Objective of this diploma thesis is to identify risks and barriers connected with expansion of using the Public-Private Partnership concept, fractional objective is to identify limiting factors which affect still not very developed PPP projects in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part of the thesis is dedicated to definition of PPP concept and explanation of its specific characteristics in providing of public goods. The practical part is focused on chosen projects. On this sample are limits of expansion of using PPPs identified and analysed using the method of partial generalization. On the basis of analysis of available literature and qualitative research made there are suggested possible solutions.
