This thesis is concerned with the geographical impact of the post-Soviet transition on the north of Perm' oblast, Russian Federation; a forested area which is marginal in terms of agriculture and economic development, where harsh climate and marshy soils preclude profitable agriculture, and where very poor infrastructure and low levels of investment have contributed to the decline of the forestry industry, which was developed during the Soviet period outside of the market system under which such development might have been regarded as non-viable. This thesis discusses marginality and poverty against the background of the process of 'transition' in Russia, and also outlines the theory of transition itself. The historical context is also considered; the processes through which the north of Perm' oblast arrived at the position in which it found itself by 1991 are examined, and changes up to the present day are analyzed. Historically, the processes of settlement and development of forestry in the study area are central. The political situation in the Russian Federation is also brought into the argument; the struggle for power between the centre and the periphery, and the weakening of the centre in recent months all have a bearing upon the view taken of marginal areas by the Moscow administration, and the policies undertaken which affect them. The thesis describes the responses of rural inhabitants to the processes of marginalisation; through out-migration, bifurcation of households, and the ways in which they utilise their domestic and environmental resources to effect subsistence. It also describes the importance of cash sources, of social capital, and of the forestry enterprises in the villages, as survival strategies. The conditions in the study region are shown to owe much to the context of Soviet development policy, and its impact on post-Soviet Russia.

This thesis deals with the financial assistance from the Funds of the European Economic Area, which was provided to selected post-communist EU countries. The work introduced a system of applications for grant assistance from the EHP funds with subsequent determination of the approval process project applications and the process of awarding grants. Furthermore, the thesis presents priority areas of support, types of applications and entities that may apply for grant aid. The work defines the principle of EHP funds sourcing. The empirical part of the thesis first analyzes the approved projects of selected post-communist EU countries. In addition, this section discusses research into the relationship between defined economic criteria (GDP per capita, gross added value) in selected countries and between the amount of awarded grants within each of the priority areas of support.

In this work we are studying the expansion of sika deer (Cervus nippon nippon) in the Czech republic, particulary in East Bohemia and North Moravia. During the observation period from 1966 untill now the population of this species is continuously growing. At the same time damages, that sika deer causes to agricultural crops and woody vegetation in forests, increase too. Numbers of populations in Czech republic are calculated by the dates from particular municipalities. We pay attention especially to East Bohemia and North Moravia, where breeding area of sika deer is set. We use the dates about sika deer populations from particular shooting areas.
