Addressing the amount of construction and demolition waste (CDW) is crucial for transitioning into a sustainable and circular economy, and therefore supports reaching climate neutrality in the European Union by the year 2050. One important solution for CDW recovery is placing mass logistic centres (MLCs) near construction projects. MLCs contribute to reducing environmental emissions, improving transport efficiency, and increasing economic benefits. However, when MLCs are built in proximity to residential areas they are often associated with a negative social impact. The present study aims to develop a strategy to improve planning processes and design for MLCs to have a positive impact on local communities. The research is done through case studies of existing MLCs near residential areas, using public surveys and focus group workshops. The data shows that the residents’ main concerns are environmental impacts and safety, noise and pollution levels, disturbances from heavy traffic, and disturbances to places' identity and facilities' aesthetics. The study concludes that the most important aspects of a more considerate MLC design are maintaining open and inclusive communication with the local community during early planning stages as well as during construction and operations, considering and responding to the residents’ concerns, as well as gaining an understanding of the place's identity. As this is a novel topic within the field, more extensive research is required to further investigate both challenges and solutions for local communities related to MLCs being located near their residential areas. / En viktig lösning för återvinning av bygg- och rivningsavfall (CDW) är masslogistikcentraler (MLC) nära byggprojekten. MLC bidrar till att minska miljöutsläpp, förbättra transporteffektiviteten och är även ekonomiskt fördelaktigt. Att ligga nära byggprojekt innebär dock ofta att de kommer ligga nära befintliga bostadsområden, särskilt i samband med förtätning. Denna studie syftar till att utveckla en strategi för förbättrade planeringsprocesser och design för MLC som tar större hänsyn till närboende och näraliggande verksamheter. Studien har utförts genom fallstudier av befintliga MLC nära bostadsområden med hjälp av enkäter och workshops med fokusgrupper för att samla in nödvändiga data. Resultaten visar att invånarnas huvudsakliga oro rör miljöpåverkan och säkerhet, buller- och föroreningsnivåer, störningar från tung trafik, påverkan på platsens identitet samt anläggningens estetiska utformning. Studien drar slutsatsen att de viktigaste aspekterna för att MLC ska utformas mer hänsynsfullt för lokalsamhället är förbättrad planering med tidigt samarbete med närboende; att beakta och svara på invånarnas oro och få en förståelse för platsens identitet; samt att upprätthålla en öppen och inkluderande kommunikation med lokalsamhället under byggandet och driften. Ämnet för studien är i sin linda och mer forskning krävs för att ytterligare undersöka både utmaningar och lösningar för de lokalsamhällen som påverkas av att anläggningarna ligger nära deras bostadsområden.

The dependence on natural resources is not a new phenomenon and it has posed issues in undiversified economies. The social impact that the booming of the mining industry has on the local level is still an area in need of investigation. The case study seeks to understand how the platinum mines of the boomtown Rustenburg have impacted the local social fabrics through 22 qualitative interviews in Rustenburg. The city is situated on the North West Province Platinum Belt and produces half of the world's platinum. The boom in the platinum industry is responsible for Rustenburg's influx of people and economic growth. The analysis adopts the assumptions of the Linear Model of the Social Disruption theory and the Psychological Process of the Place Person Process Framework. The central assumption of the Linear Model is that population growth and population density leads to the informal ties of the population being weakened. Meanwhile, the psychological process assumes that groups and individuals relate to a place through psychological interaction. The study finds that the boom of the platinum industry has disrupted the social fabric through a loss in informal ties and the phenomenon of broken families has become common. The influx of people in a combination of weak institutions has led to an unhealthy society where unemployment and the crime rates are high and people are suffering from bad health conditions. It is understood that mining has changed the attitudes of the people toward Rustenburg, and has created a mining mentality. The study contributes to the understanding of the social impact of the resource curse on a local level by investigating how booms in mining industries impact the social fabric on a local level and how the impact is expressed locally. The empirical findings of the study can be beneficial for local stakeholders of Rustenburg with the purpose of improving local policies.

From the analysis of this case, we evaluated the way how small towns of traditional features are swallowed by the capitalist economic system. The study was carried out by the experiences of residents and workers in the town of Salva Terra II, which were removed from the area. For this purpose, we use the theoretical framework of the Socio-Historical Psychology, which conceives the subject as a result of his historical and social context. From the analysis of the results obtained, we can see the impacts both in symbolic relations and in the objective reality of the affected individuals, thus indicating the need for prior planning of mitigation measures to be taken by GPI in traditional communities affected / A presente pesquisa tem como tema central a análise dos impactos sociais nos trabalhadores rurais do município de Bacabeira-MA causados pelo início da obra de construção de um Grande Projeto de Investimento: a Refinaria Premium I da Petrobras. A partir da análise desse estudo de caso, avaliamos a forma como pequenas cidades de características tradicionais são engolidas pelo sistema econômico capitalista. O estudo desenvolveu-se mediante as vivências de moradores e trabalhadores do povoado de Salva Terra II que foram removidos da área. Para tanto, utiliza-se o referencial teórico da Psicologia Sócio-Histórica, que concebe o sujeito como fruto de seu contexto histórico e social. A partir da análise dos dados obtidos, percebe-se os impactos tanto nas relações simbólicas quanto na realidade objetiva dos sujeitos afetados, indicando assim a necessidade de haver um planejamento prévio das medidas mitigadoras a serem adotadas pelos GPI em comunidades tradicionais atingidas

The topic of this thesis is the unemployment in the South Bohemia region and its economic and social impacts in this area as well. For the purpose of the diploma theses, it was necessary to define some key theoretical concepts related to the unemployment. The key concepts were defined through the study of a scientific literature, statistical yearbooks and sources focused on this subject matter and labour market. The main assumption was distinguishing of various types of the unemployment, and introducing methods of counting them. The theoretical part of the theses concludes with the issue of socio-economic impacts of the unemployment and their mutual relations, and with the description of the employment politics in the Czech Republic. In the empirical part, development of the unemployment its aspects and structure are analysed. The core of the theses lies in the use of statistical methods, especially in Pearson's product-moment coefficient, correlation matrix and simple linear regression model. All these calculations were done in STATISTICA and R software. At the beginning of the calculation, appropriate social and economic indicators were specified. Finally, there is a discussion about possible results of examined issue at the end of the empirical part as well as some suggestions how to improve unemployed people situation.

Aiming to understand how was this relationship evolution in great Brazilian hydroelectric projects. In this context, events surveys during the construction of the Itaipu Dam served as a comparative basis for what is being experienced today in the construction of the Santo Antônio Dam. The fact is that projects of this magnitude will cause impacts and externalities, but understanding how they are being treated is something that can guide the progress of these projects management. Therefore issues such as the preservation of fauna and flora, resettlement and local development, were put on the agenda to verify how today, even with the advance of technology and external pressures on the sustainability issue, the externalities of those projects are still same. The theories presented in Corporate Social Responsibility, sustainable and economic development, in addition to social movements structuring, will serve as basis for understanding the presented issues. It was identified that the sacrifice of a few for the enjoyment of others continues to be one of the main issues to be resolved, and in this we can include the land issue. As well as the non-integration between stakeholders and shareholders to achieve alignment on the best way to enjoy and interact with the environment in which the project will be inserted, the political exclusion of stakeholders on the decision-making process of hydropower projects to be implemented, are also identified. / Em um mundo onde a questão da necessidade de se preservar o meio ambiente e de movimentos socialmente responsáveis em alta, este trabalho surgiu da curiosidade de se buscar entender o binômio do desenvolvimento econômico versus o desenvolvimento sustentável, visando compreender como se deu a evolução desta relação em grandes projetos hidrelétricos brasileiros. Neste contexto, os levantamentos de acontecimentos à época da construção de Itaipu serviram de base comparativa para o que hoje está sendo vivenciado pela hidrelétrica de Santo Antônio. É fato que projetos desse porte vão causar impactos e externalidades, porém como, hoje estão sendo tratadas, é algo que pode nortear o andamento futuro de sua gestão. Por isso, questões como a preservação da fauna e flora, reassentamento e desenvolvimento local, foram colocadas na pauta para verificação de como, ainda hoje, mesmo com o avanço da tecnologia e com pressões externas a respeito da questão sustentável, as externalidades desses projetos são as mesmas. As luzes das teorias apresentadas de Responsabilidade Social Corporativa, desenvolvimento sustentável e econômico, além da estruturação dos movimentos sociais, servirão de base para entender as questões apresentadas. Identificou-se que o sacrifício de poucos para usufruto de muitos continua a ser uma das principais questões a ser resolvida, e neste, inclui-se a questão da terra, assim como a não integração entre stakeholders e shareholders para se conseguir em alinhamento a melhor forma de se aproveitar e interagir com o meio em que será inserido o empreendimento, a exclusão política dos stakeholders do processo decisório sobre os projetos hidrelétricos a serem implementados.

Advisor of thesis: PhDr. Monika Nová, Ph.D. - Degree of professional qualification: Magister. - Praha: HTF, 2018. 128 p. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The topic of the diploma thesis is all-society tolerated drugs an their impact on youth - social and societal implications. In the theoretical basis of the thesis, we focus on the definition of the concepts of the all-society tolerated drugs and its division, the use of drugs, the emergence of addictionc and the treatment of an addiction. We identify the concept of the socio-economic and social impacts of drug use among youth, as a consequence of their consequences for the somatic health and the social environment of man. The implications and consequences of the use of all-human drugs in youth are also addressed in the empirical part of the thesis. In order to meet the objectives and tasks of the research, the quantitative research method is used in the practical part of the thesis, using the information obtained from anonymous respondents who were young people within a defined...

This diploma thesis on social impacts of disasters and their solutions deals with disasters that have accompanied the mankind from the very beginning, their impacts and the effective solutions of such impacts. The theoretical section, in the first chapter, introduces the concept of disaster and it describes disasters that struck the Earth in the past and endangered substantially human lives. The second chapter is devoted to disasters of the 21st century and is divided into two parts. The first part of the second chapter deals with disasters of the 21st century in the world, including the current situation in Japan and the other part introduces major disasters of the 21st century in our country. The third chapter of the theoretical section focuses on the characteristics of basic disasters that may occur in the Czech Republic. The fourth chapter informs us about the impact and consequences of extraordinary events and crisis situations in the Czech Republic and about their solutions. This chapter introduces us to the way the Czech Republic addresses social impacts of disasters, which are an important factor in determining the seriousness of disasters. The concept of social impacts of disasters includes not only the loss of life or property, but also reduced ability of self-support of people affected by disasters caused by closing down businesses and their decreased work ability. The last chapter of the theoretical section, chapter five, deals with the role and responsibilities of state authorities and local governments during extraordinary events and crisis situations. This thesis aims at specifying social impacts of disasters and to propose some solutions. The results of quantitative research using questionnaire survey showed that we can confirm working hypothesis no. one, i.e. that one of the major impacts of disasters are social impacts. The thesis also includes research conducted using the method of guided interviews thanks to which we can confirm the second working hypothesis, i.e. that dealing with the impact takes place mostly in the reconstruction period after the crisis situation. Knowledge obtained while working on this thesis may serve as a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the Czech Republic in terms of dealing with social impacts of disasters.

In the Atlantic Forest of the Brazilian Northeast, the most of the damages come from the sugar-cane agro-industry, especially by the deforestation for the introduction of sugar-cane fields and installation of the industry structure. Besides the damages over the biodiversity, there are critical social problems that affect the communities which survive using directly or indirectly the biome from the Atlantic Forest. The objective of this research is to analyze the social impacts on the fishermen of Ba?a Formosa/RN generated by the changes and socio-environmental transformations occurred starting the installation of a sugar-cane factory and the creation of a conservation area in the municipality of Ba?a Formosa/RN community. The research is based on a qualitative and diachronic perspective, for both approach, it was used the method of oral history in conjunction with the literature search and some technical and research tools such as direct observation, interview, records images and recordings . The results show that social and symbolic practices of the community in the conservation unit Mata Estrela last more strongly presented. Today fewer natural resources are used, due to factors such as limit access to forest and disappearance of some natural resources by deforestation. It is believed that the loss of free access to space for the community is the most significant negative impact, as promoted changes in the relationship of the community with the Star Forest that contributed to the fading of their social and symbolic practices. The loss of free access caused the decline in the practice of agriculture, which resulted in the loss of one of the means of social reproduction of the community / As unidades de conserva??o surgiram em resposta aos danos ambientais. Na Mata Atl?ntica do Nordeste brasileiro, os maiores danos s?o oriundos da agroind?stria canavieira, sobretudo atrav?s do desmatamento para introdu??o dos canaviais e instala??o do aparato industrial. Al?m dos danos a biodiversidade, h? tamb?m s?rios problemas sociais que afetam as comunidades que sobrevivem direta ou indiretamente do bioma da Mata Atl?ntica. O objetivo dessa pesquisa ? analisar os impactos sociais na comunidade de pescadores de Ba?a Formosa/RN, gerados pelas mudan?as e transforma??es socioambientais ocorridas a partir da instala??o de uma usina sucroalcooleira e a cria??o de uma unidade de conserva??o no munic?pio de Ba?a Formosa/RN. A pesquisa fundamenta-se numa abordagem de natureza qualitativa e perspectiva diacr?nica, para tanto, empregou-se o m?todo da hist?ria oral em conjunto com a pesquisa bibliogr?fica e algumas t?cnicas e instrumentos de pesquisa como a observa??o direta, entrevista, registros de imagens e grava??es. Os resultados apontam que as pr?ticas sociais e simb?licas da comunidade na unidade de conserva??o Mata Estrela no passado se apresentavam mais fortemente. Hoje os recursos naturais s?o menos utilizados, devido a fatores como limite do acesso a mata e desaparecimento de alguns recursos naturais pelo desmatamento. Acredita-se que a perda do livre acesso ao espa?o pela comunidade ? o impacto negativo mais significativo, pois promoveu mudan?as na rela??o da comunidade com a Mata Estrela que contribu?ram para o esmaecimento das suas pr?ticas sociais e simb?licas. A perda do livre acesso ocasionou o decl?nio da pr?tica da agricultura, o que resultou na perda de um dos meios de reprodu??o social dessa comunidade
