The master thesis is focused on sorting collected primary data, their subsequent analysis and further comparison in the field of road defects. The collection of pavement failures was done by visual inspection with its recording to a computer for the pavement management system. The data later underwent detailed analysis with the aim to find a potential link between the road defect and the location of the damaged section. The study took place on 2nd and 3rd class roads in the Liberec Region, with special focus on those located near forests. The data collection itself took place in the Liberec Region in 2021. The processing and subsequent evaluation of collected data was done thanks to the availability of comparable data sets from 2014 and 2019 to 2021, so the development of road defects of the selected road network in relation to the surrounding afforestation could be assessed. The last part of this master thesis compares results in different classification levels, time periods and levels of afforestation.
