Teams for Support of the Virtual Operations in Civil Protection

Práce se zabývá problematikou týmů pro podporu virtuálních operací a jejich využití v ochraně obyvatelstva. Nejprve je rozebrána oblast komunikace s veřejností, a to zejména v kontextu moderní doby, která je pevně spjata se sociálními médii. Další část práce zahrnuje analýzu poznatků o týmech pro podporu virtuálních operací ve světě. V poslední části práce je pak navržen koncept přístupu k vytvoření týmu pro podporu virtuálních operací v České republice. V této části je rovněž představena celá řada možností, jak fungování týmu přizpůsobit podmínkám v České republice.The thesis deals with the issue of the virtual operations support teams in civil protection. First, the section of communication with the public is analyzed, especially in the context of social media generation. The next part of the thesis is an analysis of the knowledge about virtual operations support teams and their activities around the world.

This part also presents a number of possibilities how to adapt the team activities to the conditions in the Czech Republic.050 - Katedra ochrany obyvatelstvavýborn

What can the location of biogas plants tell us about agricultural change? A Case Study from the Czech Republic

Facilities for generating renewable energy form important elements in the rural landscape of the Czech Republic. The distribution of these facilities is highly uneven due to various natural and socio-economic factors. In our paper, we are focusing our attention on one of the important facilities for the generation of renewable energy in the Czech Republic; anaerobic digestion (AD) plants. In 2016, more than five hundred AD plants could be found in the country with a total installed capacity of 360 MW. By means of analyses of data on location of individual AD plants, quality of soils, size of agricultural farms (in which majority of AD plants is incorporated) we found that agricultural AD plants in the Czech Republic tend to concentrate in areas with larger agricultural farms and also in areas with average and slightly below average conditions for agricultural activities. Core areas where agricultural AD plants are the most densely located were also identified. In these areas, large farms with AD plants tend to crowd out smaller farms. Pressure to grow maize for ADs significantly competes here with growing of other agricultural crops for food. This finding is in strong contradiction with the official national agricultural policy where support for small farms is systematically emphasized. Core areas with AD plants make a belt that mostly covers sub-mountainous central parts of the Czech Republic where traditional agricultural plants are now significantly being displaced by maize to feed AD plants
