In this thesis, titled Project management and implementation of its methods in the realization of selected operational programs, focuses on South Bohemian region, evaluated its potential funding priorities that need to be addressed and to which can be obtained financial support for the programming period 2007-2013. Also focus on private and public entities of South Bohemian region, on areas in which most financial benefit from EU funds are used and the problems associated with them.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the implementation process of selected operational programs and using project management methods to develop a proposal for the management company for their solution. The evaluation shows that the South region in its founding document Regional Development Programme has defined those priorities which reflect the intentions of the European Communities, which can be documented by the fact that in these areas is to aid in the European Union intended. So there is enough space on which to set strategic goals and measures to meet the region. Likewise, the results of the survey show a large activity in drawing financial resources from the EU.

The master thesis deals with a question of rural development funding in the Czech Republic. It acquaints the reader with Regional Policy and Structural Funds of the European Union and with the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) It also describes area grants and forms of subsidy granted from the EAFRD in the 2007 ? 2013 programming period.

The aim of this study is to evaluate utilization of the EAFRD in a selected locality. The main research area is the village of Plav, which is defined and shortly described in the text. In case of this village the SWOT analysis was carried out as well as evaluated. The written materials from the Plav´s municipal office and the transcript of a tape-recorded semi-structured interview with a representative of Plav were used for evaluation of the EAFRD utilization. Another part of the study is focused on comparison of the use of the EAFRD with other subsidy instruments for funding of the development in a selected locality.

One of the goals of the economic, social and territorial cohesion is to reduce regional disparities between member states of the European Union. For this purpose the structural funds and the Cohesion Fund were established(among other things). The theoretical part of this thesis presents the issue of regional disparities and ways how to measure them. In view of the lack of consistent definition of this concept, there are number of measurement and evaluation methods. Furthermore, the work focuses on the implementation of cohesion policy and ways of measurement of their impact on development and growth of regions. The practical part of this thesis presents, evaluates and compares the regional disparities between the regions of the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic via selected methods and assesses the impact of the financial support provided from the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund in the programming period 2007 - 2013 on economic growth of regions in the Czech and Slovak Republics. Following indicators are included: gross domestic product, unemployment rate, gross fixed capital formation and the rate of economic activity. The influence of the subsidy on the economic growth of regions is validated through the panel data analysis, namely a panel model with fixed effects, and Granger causality test. First, we investigated the impact of this support on the economic performance of regions where it is verified whether there is a relationship between economic performance of NUTS III regions in the Czech and Slovak Republics, characterized by gross domestic product and the unemployment rate, and the amount of the subsidy. Furthermore, it is verified whether the amount of subsidy depends on the level of regional gross domestic product. Dissertation contributes to the discussion about the impact of support from EU funds in the Czech and Slovak Republics, focusing on the regional level, and answers the question of reducing regional disparities using the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund.

The aim of the thesis is to identify basic characteristics related to position of the outermost regions of the member states of the EU within EU development policies. These regions are evaluated from the point of view including allocated funding within Structural Funds (SF) and European Structural and Investments Funds during the programming periods of 2000-2006, 2007-2013, and 2014-2020, content of the operational programmes, and basic economic indicators. The outermost regions shows lower values of GDP per capita than European regions of the same country while showing higher allocated funding per capita than the European regions of the same country. The outermost regions also shows constantly growing GDP per capita at least from 2000 while the SF and ESIF allocated funding for the regions decreases. These findings are predictable. Interesting finding is that while the regional GDP of the outermost regions increases investments efforts do not shift towards soft projects. The investments efforts show steadily hard project implementation activities and increasing ratio of environmental projects, which are mostly hard projects. This finding creates space for improving concept of more developed regions focusing of soft projects and less developed regions focusing on hard projects.
