Imposing Punishments in Czech and Polish Legislations Abstract The comparison of the legal systems of individual states is an important source of inspiration for the further development of legislation. In my work I compare the legal regulation of punishments in the Czech Republic and in Poland, namely those of them which both Czech and Polish legal systems refer to as punishments. These are Czech fines, community service, imprisonment, and an exceptional sentence together with their Polish equivalents. The aim of the thesis is to find inspiration and stimuli for de lege ferenda considerations for further development of Czech criminal law by comparing Czech and Polish regulation of punishments, as well as the types of punishments most often imposed by courts in both countries. In the first part of the work I deal with the systems of criminal sanctions in both states in order to introduce the context for the subsequently analysed punishments. Furthermore, each part is devoted to one type of punishment and a comparison of its regulation in the Czech Republic and Poland. The second part is devoted to the Czech fine and the Polish sentence of grzywna, the third part to the Czech community service and the Polish sentence of imprisonment, the fourth part is related to the regulation of imprisonment, and the fifth...

The aim of this thesis is to draw the reader's attention to the importance and necessity of community and social work with the community, which is not anchored in the Czech Republic by any legislation. The thesis draws attention to a number of ambiguous definitions of terms and different perspectives on social work with community, although many professional materials emphasize the need for functional communities, which are often replaced by social services. My thesis presents a deaf understanding of terms relating to community and community work. The emergence and gradual development of community social work then expands and refines the understanding of community work and its impact on society as a whole. The role of the social or community worker themselves then plays a crucial role in social work with the community, with clarification of their remit and job description being an essential part of social work with the community. The starting point for this work is the national and regional strategic documents that influence the direction of social work. The thesis then turns to research to answer the key question of whether current social work with the community in the Czech Republic is theory or practice.

The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the landscape of the part of the Bečva river basin and to find out problems with the drainage conditions due to the persisting problems with floods and droughts. Based on the acquired knowledge about the landscape and human activity, the most vulnerable parts of the area were selected, with priority being given to revitalizing activities. The tools for revitalization of the landscape are complex land arrangements (hereinafter referred to as KoPU). The work determined insufficiency in their implementation and therefore possible changes to the procedures of the KoPU implementation process were proposed. The proposed procedures include cooperation with landscape and water management experts who are able to identify landscape problems, propose effective measures, and provide consultations to individual municipalities. In addition, community-led processes have been proposed to contribute to positive public approach to revitalization and overall awareness of environmental issues. The proposed KoPU implementation procedures, including land remedy (also with landscape improvements), should help to stabilize the water regime and to reduce the negative impacts of the climate changes.
