 to evaluate efficiency and suitability of the territorial protection of localities determined for development of water resources  Invention of a new methodology of ecological vulnerability classification of the areas protected for development of water resources ◦ The methodology designing will be based on biological and socio- economical analyses of representative sample of suitable localities across the Czech Republic

 partial results ◦ professional studies of the examined localities:  landscape and environmental assessment,  sociological assessment,  economical analysis  main result ◦ complex multi- departmental analysis of the territorial protection impact to the natural conditions, local residents and economical development of the localities Final results and methodology will be used by local authorities, residents, businessman and others to better understand interrelations between water resources and land-use.

 Bachelor thesis ◦ Literature retrieval ◦ Web sources analysis ◦ Land use mapping ◦ Vectorisation (GIS)

 Master thesis  Literature retrieval  Land use mapping  Vectorisation  GIS analysis

 PhD students ◦ Workshops / seminars ◦ Data collection ◦ Data processing ◦ Conference participation ◦ Other scientific publications

 Combination of multi disciplinary approach should lead towards interesting results, utilise in future landscape planning in the affected areas  Project offers possibility to involve students of all degrees
