Economic development of the Canadian Arctic and the impact of mining on Inuit
Švecová, Marianna ; Fiřtová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Šír, Jan (referee)
The bachelor thesis analyses and compares three main periods of the economic development in the Canadian Arctic, starting from the years 1950's until the end of the administrative of Prime Minister Harper in 2015. Mining of natural resources, as the base of the North's development, has been seen by the federal government also as a tool for cultural assimilation of Inuit into the dominant society. Nevertheless, participation of Inuit in mining activities and in fact in the whole employment culture has had serious impact on Aboriginal communities who have never been consulted about the federal strategy. However, while the first phase of development is characterized by strict colonialist approach of the government, the situation started to change during the second phase, characterized by a rising of Inuit's political participation and their first demonstrations of discontent. Although during the third, neoliberal era, several new mechanisms in order to improve the dialogue between Inuit, mining companies and the government were accepted, social conditions in Inuit communities remain below the Canadian average and with the government "laissez-faire" attitude they are not to be changed any time soon.

Evaluation of Benefits of Tree Planting in Context of Urban Development
Pelčák, Svatopluk
With climate change and rising temperatures, but also with increasing demand for the comfort of individual citizens, the demand for the most pleasant environment in cities is also growing. One of the key elements for creating such an environment is the tree. Trees have several impacts on their surroundings, both positive and negative impacts, which mainly complicate the construction of technical infrastructure and require care to thrive in an unnatural urban environment and thus serve their surroundings. This research is focused on defining their positive impacts, but mainly on their evaluation so that their benefits can be compared with the monetary value of investment costs, but also to compare with other monetarily defined variants. Goal of the research is to use this values for complex evaluation of its benefits for society.
