Indicators of Spatial Sustainable Development
Maštálka, Martin ; Kyselka, Mojmír (referee) ; Mansfeldová, Alena (referee) ; Mgr.Michal Pondělíček (referee) ; Šilhánková, Vladimíra (advisor)
The aim of the thesis was to analyse indicators and data sets used in the field of sustainable spatial plannig. On the base of the analyses there were spatial indicators of the sustainable development designed. The basic condition to design new indicators it was the accessibility to the elementary datas. The other condition was to design very simply methodology that could be use also for measuring in very small location. The thesis designed idnicators in three main areas of the spatial planning: • landuse, • accessibility of the services, • inner city/town/village traffic. One of the demands for the new indicators set was it´s efficiency for all kinds of the cities in the Czech Republic. This demand was fullfilled by the 3 level methodolgy – the main indicator was measurable for all kinds of settlemets – small villages, small and middle towns and also for cities. The basic methodology (for small villages) was very simple. Indicators were computed from very easy accesible data sets. And this methodology could also be used for larger settlements without any problems. The second level – for small and middle towns – sometimes needs special surveys or special hardware and software. The top of the pyramid is the methodology for cities. In this level there are used detailed analyses and computing methods. The thesis designes the methodology and also checks the practical application up.

Indicatours of sustainable development social pillar at the local level
Kučerová, Zita ; Kyselka, Mojmír (referee) ; Doc.PhDr.Jana Šafránková,CSc. (referee) ; Staňková, Eva (referee) ; Koutný, Jan (advisor)
The aim of the thesis is to find the answer, whether it is plausible to monitor social cohesion of the municipality and how to measure this cohesion, which is one of the essential pillars of sustainable development. In order to find out, analysis of approaches and measurements of the sustainable development social pillar in international and Czech environment was carried out. Social pillar was identified and described also at the local level. Within the framework of the sustainable development social pillar at the municipal level three main thematic blocks are proposed: • Social environment quality of the municipality • Social-demographic population structure of the municipality • Contentment and participation in the public affairs These themes should be monitored by the set of indicators proposed in this thesis. It aimed to cover all dimensions of social cohesion which are significant and well-founded in the context of the territorial planning process. These indicators can be followed in the direct relationship with the population size and regional importance of the observed territorial unit at the local level and they are not separated from the concept of indicators monitoring at other – territorially higher – levels. Outcomes, analysis and interpretation of attained values could become the basis for the “territorial sustainable development analysis” (part of territorial planning instruments according to contemporary legal regulations), representing social pillar. All phenomenon and processes must be evaluated in the context with other sustainable development pillars and afterwards they should become another suitable instrument for measurement of the fulfilling the territorial planning aims.

Sustainable development indicators of european regions at the NUTS 2 level
HOŘČICA, Antonín
This work is focused on indicators of sustainable development in European regions at the level NUTS 2. The historical context of the concept of sustainable development and its current application are described. This information serves as a starting point for eval-uating the fulfilment of the concept's objectives using sustainability indicators. The fol-lowing is an overview of the requirements for these indicators and their definition in re-lation to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a key indicator of economic perfor-mance. The main sustainability indicators used at the global and regional levels are de-scribed, and the organizations that publish the indicators are listed. The Regional Human Development Index (RHDI) indicator was chosen for the practical part of this work. The aim of the work was to check its applicability in regions at the level at the NUTS 2 in comparison with the indicator of GDP per capita and to find out whether there is a re-lationship between them. The main result of the work is that the direct relationship be-tween GDP per capita and RHDI has not been confirmed. Partial results are the finding of interregional differences between the two indicators and the fact that a higher value of GDP per capita does not necessarily mean a better RHDI result. The RHDI indicator can be considered as a very good tool for monitoring progress in the sustainability of re-gions at the level NUTS 2 and that it can be used to compare EU regions. Therefore, it should serve at least as a complementary indicator to GDP per capita, possibly in con-junction with other sustainability indicators, such as the Genuine Progress Index (GPI) and / or the Sustainable Development Goals Index (SDG Index). Further developments in the field of sustainability indicators are necessary in view of the need to assess future European Green New Deal sustainable development plans.

Relevance Assessment of Selected Sustainability Indicators
Vilhelmová, Zuzana ; Hák, Tomáš (advisor) ; Třebický, Viktor (referee)
Sustainable development research makes use of various indicators for environmental monitoring without really focusing on quality and comparability of these indicators. This paper tries to lay down method of assessment of one of these indicators - the relevance. My method will be used for evaluating the indicators of ECI set - European Common Indicators, ten indicators of the Sustainable Urban Development, established by European Commission in cooperation with European cities. My method of evaluating the indicators is based on searching the keywords. One set of the keywords was specified for each indicator of ECI set and several sets of the keywords were specified for every indicator's theme. I collected data to establish three types of relevance - public, scientific and political relevance. Data for the public relevance were searched on World Wide Web by search engine Google, data for the scientific relevance were searched in the Google Scholar database and data for Political Relevance were searched in several official documents related to sustainable development. Public and scientific relevance were determined as a proportion of number of present keywords for the indicators and for their topics together and number of present keywords for the topics alone. Political relevance was determined as a...
