My thesis deals with the system of support of the regional level in the context of the contemporary concept of regional policy, which accents the component of the competitive ability. The target of my thesis is to show on the connection between the implemented support of tourism development and the competitive ability of a region in the form of the case study for two selected Czech regions. To the achieving of the target is used the method of comparison of two analysed regional politics subjects and also modified the method of economics n--angle. This method researches the procedural level of the selected criteria for the selected regions during a period of time. The result of this analysis is the comparison of the competitive ability and the evaluation of the regions using graphic presentation with the average of the Czech Republic.

Introduktion: Den sexuella exploateringen av barn är ett folkhälsoproblem som ökar både nationellt och internationellt. För att skydda barn i enlighet med barnkonventionen finns det ett behov av att arbeta förebyggande mot sexuell exploatering. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka aktörers erfarenheter av det förebyggande arbetet mot sexuell exploatering av barn i en mellanstor region i Sverige. Metod: För att besvara studiens syfte användes kvalitativ metod. Urvalet gjordes som ett strategiskt urval och semistrukturerade intervjuer användes som datainsamlingsmetod. Det insamlade materialet analyserades med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet: Det förebyggande arbetet mot sexuell exploatering av barn i den studerade regionen präglas av samverkan och kunskap. Kunskap sprids mellan aktörer, men även till arbetets målgrupper. Arbetet har en bredd vad gäller arenor och målgrupper. I arbetet finns utmaningar kopplat till förebyggande arbete i sig, men även exempelvis resurser. Det regionala förebyggandet blir framgångsrikt genom bland annat samverkan och att ta hänsyn till regionala förutsättningar. Genom att arbeta förebyggande hoppas aktörer bidra till ett effektivt, långsiktigt och strategiskt arbete. Slutsats: Det förebyggande arbetet mot sexuell exploatering av barn i den studerade regionen är omfattande och inkluderar samhällsaktörer på olika nivåer. Intern och extern samverkan ses som grunden i det förebyggande arbetet. Detta är både en framgångsfaktor samtidigt som det kan skapa svårigheter i att koordinera arbetet effektivt. Trots att ämnet stundtals kan upplevas omfattande och svårhanterligt är det förebyggande arbetet en viktig del för att förhindra att barn inte drabbas av de konsekvenser som sexuell exploatering medför. Detta kan i sin tur skapa hälsovinster för den enskilda individen men också bidra till en social hållbar utveckling där folkhälsa samt samhällsekonomi gynnas. / Introduction: Sexual exploitation of children is a public health problem that is increasing both nationally and internationally. In order to protect children in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child, there is a need to work preventively against sexual exploitation. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate professionals' experiences of the prevention against sexual exploitation of children in a medium-sized region in Sweden. Methods: In order to answer the aim of this study, a qualitative method was used. The selection was made as a strategic selection. Semi-structured interviews were used as data collection method. The analysis of collected material was done with qualitative content analysis. Results: The preventive work against sexual exploitation of children in the studied region is characterized by cooperation and knowledge. Knowledge is spread between professionals’, but also to the work's target groups. The work has a breadth in terms of arenas and target groups. In the work, there are challenges linked to preventive work in itself, but also, for example, resources. Regional prevention is successful through, among other things, collaboration and taking regional conditions into account. By working preventively, actors hope to contribute to effective, long-term, and strategic work. Conclusion: The preventive work against sexual exploitation of children in the studied region is extensive and includes social actors at different levels. Internal and external cooperation is seen as the basis of preventive work. This is both a success factor and at the same time it can create difficulties in coordinating the work effectively. Even though the subject can sometimes be experienced as extensive and difficult to handle, the preventive work is an important part of preventing children from suffering the consequences of sexual exploitation. This, in turn, can create health benefits for the individual, but also contribute to a sustainable social development where public health and social economy are benefited.

This master thesis elaborates on the question whether there is a difference in the understanding of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on the universal level and on the regional level in South America. It is built upon the dichotomy of the recent movement in the CSR field that seeks to answer both emerging transnational challenges in a coordinated way while delivering a significant impact on the local level. The analysis is performed using the method of content analysis. Two major aspects of CSR are analyzed - the way the nature of CSR is defined and the prominence of the issues that CSR should address. Based on the results of the content analysis, we identify major trends in the understanding of CSR on both levels and determine the scope of the difference between them. Regarding the differences, we find one common denominator that is dominant on both levels - institutions and governance. In other categories we observe a high variability of the prominence across analysed levels. The important trends revealed in the thesis is a high penetration of South America with foreign CSR institutions and a significant impact of a membership in a global CSR organization on how CSR is communicated by a member organization on the regional level.

This master thesis is a case study that deals with the concept of multilevel governance and its applicability in the regulation of the modern trend in shared economy - the digital platform Airbnb. The base resource for the study is the territory of the capital city of Prague, where this phenomenon has a massive impact on the problems in legislative issues. The political debate on this agenda fills the headlines of media news and tends to lead to major changes or mobilization of the electorate in the upcoming years. The enormous rise of developing this service has put politics at all levels of government ahead of serious legislative and political challenges. Application of the Airbnb service example on our theory forms the core of the empirical part of the research. The aim of this thesis is to examine the importance and role of each individual level based on the concept of multilevel governance in relation to the regulation of the Airbnb phenomenon. The main part of the thesis is devoted for processing semi-structured interviews with the main representatives of each individual level, media monitoring and analysis of available resources. Based on research is obvious that the basic postulates of the multi-level governance approach can be considered as valid because they are displayed at all selected...
