Ethical Dilemmas of Using Humanitarian Drones
Pavlíková, Markéta ; Střítecký, Vít (advisor) ; Hynek, Nikola (referee)
Unmanned aircraft vehicles were primarily used for military purposes and are still used for them. Not only for this reason is their introduction for humanitarian aims disputable, raising various dilemmas. Supporters of humanitarian drones put emphasis on/emphasize their speed, security, data amount and the possible employment of new technology in extreme environments. Critics of humanitarian technologization stress the loss of neutrality and impartiality, politicization and militarization of humanitarian aid. Consensus does not even exist amongst academics in the field. Contemporary literature is primarily targeted on the controversy of dual-usage of UAVs and on potential technical advantages with emphasis on immediate assistance. The literature dealing with ethical issues of humanitarian drones in connection to humanitarian and development practice outside the conflict zone is almost absent, and only marginally or indirectly treats the issue. The aim of this paper is to analyse potential advantages and disadvantages of humanitarian drones' proliferation within the theoretical framework of The Code of Conduct for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and Non-Governmental Organizations in Disaster Relief, which deals with basic dilemmas in humanitarian aid. This thesis does not...

Factors that influence the success of emergency houses in the disaster-stricken areas
Kučerová, Petra
An increasing number of environmental problems and the global financial crisis that have paralyzed the building industry since 2008 led to the fact that interest in this problem with the moral impact increased rapidly. In the article formulates four basic factors for the success of mobile buildings for emergencies in disaster-stricken areas. These factors are transportability, universality versus adaptability to the place of disaster, economy and development in time. Transportability - the fastest and the most efficient transportation to the destination are considered already in the design stage, resulting into two main proposals. The first proposal is an assembly of many small components; the second proposal is a compact cuboid or cube the interior of which is used as a "container" for important items - food, water, medical supplies… Universality versus adaptability to the point of disaster - since each disaster is unique is not possible to create a universal building and declare it "perfectly" useful for any situation. The proposals aim to create an object that will be able to simply replace some of the parts in order to adapt to different conditions of different climates, characters and ways of life. Economy - despite the large amount of funds in development and humanitarian aid flows, the economy factor is very important. Therefore, the basic principles used are cheap materials or utilization of local raw materials. Evolution in time - judicious placement of temporary shelters the structure of which remains preserved in long-term perspective after replacement of temporary structures. Communication and collaboration between architects and humanitarian organizations is an equally important factor.
