Lisa, Aleš ; Prorok, Vladimír (advisor) ; Šauer, Petr (referee) ; Janíčko, Pavel (referee) ; Pecka, Emanuel (referee)
The major focus of this thesis is to discuss the development and current level of the concept of environmental politics in terms of its potential to serve as a general concept for the theoretical understanding of the relationship between man and his natural environment and of its dynamics. To the end the thesis, using a broad literature review, sets the major stages of the development of society focused on the exploitation of natural resources, the protection of nature, and the benefits of natural services, and on ways in which modern societies responded to negatively evaluated impacts of these activities. This serves as a base for analysis and better understanding ofthe development of a key concept of current environmental policy, the concept of sustainable development, the development and current state of the social sciences in terms of environmental issues, as well as their major focus in this area, the current debate over structure and power of environmental goals in modern societies, as well as the issues of effectiveness and integration of governmental environmental policies.

Construction efficiency of low-energy residential buildings
Zgúthová, Katarína ; Šauer, Petr (advisor) ; Dvořák, Antonín (referee)
Construction of low-energy residential buildings (i.e. houses with low energy demand) in the Czech Republic is not as common as in other countries in the region. This thesis examines the reasons for such development and whether or which obstacles potential buyers face. The analysis of the economic choice between "regular" house and a low-energy building will be primarily based on comparison of basic parameters of both types of constructions. Data for this research will be taken from commercial developers. Quality analysis in the form of detailed interviews with developers, architects and potential buyers will follow. The last section of this thesis will deal with the approach of Czech media towards low-energy development. Presentation of this issue to the public will be examined by the frequency and content of reports.

Comparison of electromobility conceptions in the Czech republic, France and USA
Kovalová, Lucie ; Šauer, Petr (advisor) ; Dvořák, Antonín (referee)
A quarter of CO2 emissions in the European Union currently comes from transport, which causes a significant deterioration of air quality. Therefore, it contributes to the deterioration of the health of people living in these areas. The number of cars on the roads continues to increase globally, and with them the increase in CO2 emissions. Alternative fuel in various forms began appearing on the market. Electric cars, with their emission-free operation, are trying to find their place here. Their wider use, especially in densely populated cities, could help people to a cleaner environment. Currently, there are some technical and economic problems with a wider introduction of electric vehicles. Technology and an associated high cost of storage of the necessary power are the main challenges. Nonetheless, experts believe that electric cars have future. Each country approaches the development of electromobility in a different manner.

Insurance responsibility for damage caused in relation with a major accident
Žižka, Jan ; Šauer, Petr (advisor) ; Hadrabová, Alena (referee)
My dissertation deals with the insurance responsibility for damage caused in relation with a major accident. The main goal of this task is to evaluate the state intervention in the form of a compulsory liability insurance for firms, which can cause a major accident. In my work I will support the thrust of the state intervention and will try to find a premise for that. I will show that the target of compulsory liability insurance is not to complicate life of new firms or of existing ones. I want to demonstrate that compulsory insurance leads to a better precaution for a major accident and it can also lead to precaution and safety investments. Further, I want to point out that compulsory insurance does not protect only firms, but also their creditors and employees. The protection company is to avoid a pointless risk in case that the firm itself takes too low an aversion towards risk. If the firm employes the compulsory liability insurance, the insurance company becomes another control body that is responsible for safety. This is consequently a benefit for taxpayers, whose money is not used for some damages caused by insolvent companies. The benefit for creditors and injured employees is also a big security in case of an accident, where an insurance company ensures a company's solvency. There are many other good reasons for compulsory insurance, and we can definitely find bad reasons too. Overall however, I see compulsory insurance as beneficial.

Subvention of renewable resources of energy in the Czech republic
Plačková, Andrea ; Šauer, Petr (advisor) ; Lejnarová, Šárka (referee)
The worldwide growing consumption of energy forces us to think about how to avoid a possible energetic crisis and its economic and social impacts. One way to avoid the threat is a higher use of energy from renewable resources along with rational consumption of energy. The goal of my diploma work is to evaluate whether the State should support the development in technologies gaining energy from renewable resources and also to evaluate the efficiency of public funds (financial resources) invested in this way. In the first part of my diploma work, I will focus on individual renewable resources in general, clarify their advantages, disadvantages and compare the use of renewable resources in the Czech Republic with the States of the European Union. I will also introduce the legislative structure, out of which the state support of renewable resources results and following on, will make an analysis of the efficiency of this support. The main contribution of my diploma work is the evaluation of State support to the renewable resources of energy.

Environmental protection expenditure in Visegrad countries
Smolková, Monika ; Šauer, Petr (advisor) ; Dvořák, Antonín (referee)
Environmental protection expenditures are important from two major points of view. The first point is due to the expenditures' contributions to tackle environmental problems. The other point results from the problem of efficiency, because expenditures constitute a substantial part of funds from public budget and private sources. In my work I investigate the public environmental protection expenditures in Visegrad group. The main goal is to analyze the public expenditures assigned to environmental protection in the Visegrad group countries and discuss the cause of their differences. These differences can be due to the various environmental politics in addressed countries. In order to fully understand the issue and differences of the public environmental protection expenditures in Visegrad countries, I devoted the first part of my thesis to the explanation of notions like public expenditure, environmental protection expenditure and EU funds. Furthermore, I present the characteristics of the Visegrad group countries and the development of their environmental protection policies from 1989, until the present time. To better illustrate the public expenditures in the given countries, my work also includes an analysis of the public environmental protection expenditures in time segments, per capita, and per GDP units. Attention is also paid to the sources of funding used in investigated countries. The conclusions are drawn from data on investment expenditure on the environmental protection.
