La législation des installations classées pour la protection de l'environnement (ICPE) est généralement entendue comme un compromis entre la protection des intérêts économique et ceux de l'environnement. Cette thèse analyse la nature des termes de ce contrat social et, pour ce faire, elle étude des différents contentieux des ICPE, judiciaires (civil et pénal) et administratifs. Sont alors mises en évidence les difficultés structurelles pour réaliser cet objet qui tiennent aux manques d'une véritable représentation de l'environnement devant ces différentes juridictions. Cela en dépit des avancées législatives et constitutionnelles indéniables. Ce travail propose des pistes pour une réécriture de la police ICPE par une meilleure intégration des principes fondamentaux du développement durable, notamment, la précaution et la participation du public. Cette reformulation implique l'extension de la responsabilité sans faute à la précaution.

ABSTRACT For my diploma thesis I have chosen a topic focusing on the setting of the zone of emergency planning in accordance with Act No. 59/2006 on prevention of major accidents, for the facility of ČEPRO Inc., the storage area of Včelná. The topic has been chosen for several reasons {--} I consider it interesting, and I am convinced that it is absolutely essential to create a zone of emergency planning for the above mentioned complex. A major accident is defined under Act 59/2006 of Collection, on prevention of major accidents, as an extraordinary, partly or completely unmanageable, terminable and spatially limited event, for example a major leakage, fire or explosion, which has already appeared or whose occurrence is imminent in connection with using the venue or facility in which a dangerous substance is produced, processed, prepared or stored, and which leads to a major jeopardy or to a major impact upon life and health of people, livestock and environment or financial damage. The first part of the diploma thesis presents the legislation concerning the setting the zone of emergency planning. Furthermore, the legislation concerning the issue in selected countries of the European Union is mentioned. The description of the storage facility belonging to the company ČEPRO Inc. in Včelná in the town of České Budějovice follows. The second part of the thesis focuses on the setting of the zone of emergency planning for the ČEPRO company in Včelná, and the evaluation of the questionnaires submitted to residents living in the surroundings of this storage facility. The discussion of the issues given above is presented in the third part of the diploma thesis. The following hypotheses were set and analysed {--} whether the emergency plan for the ČEPRO Inc. in Včelná is sufficiently elaborated and whether the residents living in the surroundings of ČEPRO have become sufficiently familiar with a potential danger.
