Pinus oocarpa is one of the most widely cultivated non-native tree species growing on plantations in Zambia. This thesis deals with repeatedly measured data of the growing dynamic of Pinus oocarpa that is then compared to two other forest stands under two different management approaches: one site regularly used controlled fires to regulate the removal of old grass while the other was untouched by fire. Furthermore, two other main objectives will be covered in this paper. The first will be to compare the height and diameter increment of the forest that was exposed to controlled burning. The second goal will be to conduct a dendrochronology analysis by obtaining tree core samples. These samples will aid in determining the annual growth pattern from mature forest stands throughout various parts of the district. The results obtained through the dendrochronology analysis will help to identify the impact of fire on the growth of trees. This data will then be compared to the results gathered from other locations. In essence, this thesis will identify the growth pattern of the Pinus oocarpa and the method of evaluation chosen in this area will serve to either confirm or refute the assumption that controlled forest fires in Choma can have negative impacts on the further growth and development of the Pinus oocarpa stands.

The objective of the diploma thesis is to analyze impacts of copper mining in Zambia on the economic, social as well as environmental sphere. The theoretical part describes basic aspects of the mining in relation to economical and social development, environmental impacts of mining, and to sustainable development. The main work deals with the economic development and contribution of copper mining activity to the Zambian economy using and assessing available data. The thesis discusses social issues and environmental degradation concerning mining in the Copperbelt Province and influencing livelihoods of local inhabitants. The obtained result will be discussed and evaluated. A possible recommendation will be made and solutions will be suggested.

This diploma thesis deals with issue of foreign direct investment (FDI) into agrarian sector in developing countries with focus on the concept of food security and right to food. Initial theoretical part of this paper provides a discussion of its core concepts: the food security, the right to food as well as FDI with related issues. The theoretical analysis is subsequently applied to the context of Zambia. Author's engagement in field research is presented with two case studies which address the resultant effects of FDI in land on the community level in Zambia.

This master dissertation is focused on a humanitarian photo and its role in construction of "the others". By the example of the cholera outbreak in Zambia in 2010 I examine how the humanitarian photo works in respect to the process of otherization. Employing a qualitative research approach (particularly a case study) and an argumentation based on analytic generalization I suggest that each humanitarian photo necessary contains documenting and selling dimension because the humanitarians, on the one hand, speak on behalf of people in need and try to witness particular reality in their visual campaigns; and on the other hand they need to rise funds to be able to provide this humanitarian aid or development assistance, keep their work and authority of the organisation.
