The purpose of my thesis is the comparison of Czech and Italian legislation of the ownership of the flats or apartments. The thesis is composed of ten chapters. In all chapters, except the introductive, first the Italian approach is analyzed and subsequently is compared with the Czech approach. Chapter one contains brief introduction. Chapter two is dedicated to the basic terms of Italian legislation which are necessary for understanding of comparative part of the thesis. Chapter three describes the evolution of rules regulating the ownership of the apartments, classifies the current legislation and focuses on the expectation of future development. Following chapter provides the commentary on the terms flat or apartment and housing unit. Regulation concerning the common parts of building is analyzed in chapter five. Chapter six is crucial because focuses on the comparison of SVJ - community of flat owners (as well as the aspects of the ownership of housing unit in Czech legal order) and condominio. The chapter dealing with special cases of administration of the building follows. Chapter eight relates to the bodies responsible for the administration of the building. In the next chapter the process of decision-making relating to the administration of the building is described. Chapter ten deals with rights...

The process of modeling earthquake hazard risk and vulnerability is a prime component of mitigation planning, but is rife with epistemic, aleatory and factual uncertainty. Reducing uncertainty in such models yields significant benefits, both in terms of extending knowledge and increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of mitigation planning. An accurate description of the built environment as an input into loss estimation would reduce factual uncertainty in the modeling process. Building attributes for earthquake loss estimation and risk assessment modeling were identified. Three modules for developing the building attributes were proposed, including structure classification, building footprint recognition and building valuation. Data from primary sources and field surveys were collected from Shelby County, Tennessee, for calibration and validation of the structure type models and for estimation of various components of building value. Building footprint libraries were generated for implementation of algorithms to programmatically recognize two-dimensional building configurations. The modules were implemented to produce a building inventory for Shelby County, Tennessee that may be used effectively in loss estimation modeling. Validation of the building inventory demonstrates effectively that advanced technologies and methods may be effectively and innovatively applied on combinations of primary and derived data and replicated in order to produce a bottom-up, reliable, accurate and cost-effective building inventory.
