In my thesis (dissertation) I am focusing on developing a business plan and potential use in its implementation funding from the European Union. Drawing of EU funds is currently very topical and debated issue, however many people are still not fully aware of how to draw money from the grant system. There are numerous of operational programs which subjects can draw the money from, but it's difficult to specify which project can apply for which funds. The aim of this work is to show clearly the possibilities of using EU funding in the tourism sector for the period 2007 - 2013, focusing on small businesses, especially in the Northeast region of cohesion. I chose this area because the subject of a business plan is the reconstruction of the loft in Jánské Lázně, which falls into this region. Reconstruction aim is to develop two apartments, which will be used for short-term lease. A business plan and an analysis of grant opportunities has been developed for this particular project in order to choose the best program from which you can apply for the grant.

This thesis explores the influences of provincial grant programs on Canadian streetscape camera systems. Using qualitative interviews (N=32) and document analysis, the study explores the policymaking processes and outcomes of six Ontario cities that have engaged with the Civil Remedies and Proceeds of Crime grants. Grant programs have not only provided the financial support to facilitate the establishment or expansion of camera systems, but they have also encouraged particular patterns of implementation, design and operation of Canadian streetscape systems through the processes and conditions of the grant program, as well as through the encouragement of regional networking, policy learning and policy diffusion via policy tourism. While the Civil Remedies and Proceeds of Crime grants have influenced some similarities in streetscape camera systems, variation exists, particularly concerning privacy policies, due to idiosyncratic interpretation and adoption of diffused policies and an ambiguous and unclear privacy protection framework. / Graduate / 0626 / 0627 / dennymah@uvic.ca
