Thesis supervisor: doc. Ing. Ivana Faltová Leitmanová, CSc. This thesis deals with the municipal enterprises in the context of their objectives and functioning in a modern economy. The main goal of this work is the assessment of the selected aspects of the provision of public goods / services on the example of the waste collection in the context of the institutional arrangements in the Czech Republic. In the application part of the thesis the author, at first, focuses on the general development of municipal enterprises in the Czech Republic since 1993 with an emphasis on the period from 2002 to 2012. Furthermore, there was examined the sample of companies with a main activity of the category of 38110 according to CZ-NACE classification Collection of non-hazardous waste in the context of selected financial indicators depending on the legal form of business and ownership. Also, there were statistically analyzed links between indicators. From a geographic point of view, there were examined the variables characterizing the uniformity of the distribution of these enterprises in the Czech Republic.

The thesis examines the process of recruiting new political elites, which is considered as an essential prerequisite for the restoration of a democratic society in the Czech Republic. The work examines the civic society and its involvement in the political life and activities on the municipal political level. The case study concerns the village of Dolní Břežany where the significant processes have taken place since the year 2002 in order to strengthen the transparency of politics. A questionnaire was distributed in Dolní Břežany where the questions dealt with the citizens´ life satisfaction in the village, their participation in public life and it investigated whether their involvement is or is not connected with an interest in politics or it is just connected with the existence of problems and their solution. Furthermore, the interviews with the executive representatives (between the years 2002 and 2014) gather their views on politics, the public and political participation in general. The aim was to find out what inspired the new political elites to enter the politics and stay politically active for such a long time. The work confirms a hypothesis that a goal of the new political representatives, who were elected in Dolní Břežany in 2002, was to improve their life conditions in the village. The elites remained politically active due to their clear conception of the future village development. The citizens´ confidence in political leaders and a high satisfaction with the community life increased also their interest in politics and public affairs.

The diploma thesis deals with the real estate tax in the Czech Republic and the mutual dependence between the fees for municipal waste and local coefficients. It deals with the degree of dependence between the rate of charge for municipal waste and local coefficient. There are also examined historical context leading to the introduction of a fee for municipal waste. The amount of local rate and charge rate for municipal waste are in full responsibility of municipalities and depends on them what position they take. The main aim of this study was to determine whether municipalities will compensate the higher value of the local coefficient of real estate tax by reduction rate for municipal waste. Analysis showed that this behavior occurs only rarely and can not be regarded as a model. The research was conducted on a sample of 20 municipalities in the Central Region. Based upon research, it was found that the relationship between these variables is not.

Analyzuje současný stav lázeňství v České republice a charakterizuje úlohu a aktivity klíčových subjektů v lázeňství. Praktická část práce se zabývá podrobnou analýzou komunálních lázní v Třeboni. Na tomto konkrétním příkladě jsou ukázány důsledky obecných trendů, evropské a národní politiky na rozvoj lázní a lázeňského města. Jsou zde charakterizovány aktivity a úloha obce v lázeňství a význam spolupráce subjektů soukromého a veřejného sektoru. Závěr práce se zabývá konkrétními důsledky rozvoje lázeňství v Třeboni v oblasti zaměstnanosti, podnikání, sociálních dopadů na místní obyvatelstvo, životního prostředí a hospodaření města.

Collection of waste is one of the most important public services provided by municipalities. This expenditure has a significant impact on the budget of the municipality and therefore it is important to know the factors that affect it. In addition to other factors, there can exist a phenomenon called suburbanization. This phenomenon of recent years, the city has been extended in width, which is followed by a reduction in population density. Carruthers and Úlfarsson (2008) in his work write that for many public services, the cost per unit, ie per person or household, higher output at low population density, because here you can not take advantage of economies of scale that are achievable, if users are concentrated in one place. This work seeks to examine whether this hypothesis is true for czech villages. On data from hundred municipalities in the Czech Republic for the year 2011 were able to demonstrate that if population density rises by 1 %, expenditure on collection of municipal waste will decrease by 10,41 CZK per capita.

Thesis analyses the current state of waste management of Czech Republic and the issue of production of various kinds of waste. Real data about production and composition of waste flows of Jihlava have been used. In addition, thesis evaluates the impact of local conditions on production of isolated constituents of municipal waste within the town. Influences such as density of population, housing development or form of heating have been monitored. A method on the town level for estimation and evaluation of production of municipal waste is designed in the thesis. Tools such as descriptive statistics, correlative analysis or association rules are used.

This diploma thesis provides extensive research of municipal solid waste studies and methodologies from all over the world. Firstly, the studies are described in general and then divided into several groups depending on the principle of their working practices, including their advantages and disadvantages. Secondly, the studies are divided by geographic areas. The results of the individual studies are presented and compared. Based on the findings in the thesis, appropriate methodology for municipal solid waste analysis in the Czech Republic is proposed.

Biodegradable waste is a significant type of waste, which includes kitchen waste from restaurants, catering establishments and kitchens as well. This work evaluates a waste production in the Czech Republic and compares it with a waste production of other European countries. It provides a brief search through legislation and analyzes present development, going from simple disposal of material to energetic and material utilization. New laws has established stiffer requirements for the treatment of dangerous biowaste including kitchen waste. Under all these changes benefits of the most suitable ways of waste treating are analyzed. Part of the work is a laboratory experiment of the biogas yield, which verifies theoretical assumption of kitchen waste utilization at anaerobic fermentation. In conclusion the economy calculation of such manufacturing plant is done.
