The document Methodological Guide for Preparing Diploma theses at

the Faculty of Environmental Sciences of the Czech University of Life Sciences
Prague constitutes an internal regulation of the Faculty of Environmental
Sciences.
The document contains binding standards and rules for preparing and defending
diploma theses (DT) at the Faculty of Environmental Sciences of the Czech
University of Life Sciences Prague. Non-compliance with these standards and
rules may result in a diploma thesis not making it to the stage of the thesis
defense.
In addition to these guidelines the individual demands and recommendations of
Cheap Assignment Help
individual diploma thesis supervisors obtained during consultation shall also be

applicable.
The writing, submission, and defense of a diploma thesis are conditions for
completing
studies.
As part of the thesis a masters candidate should demonstrate his or her ability to
independently create a text on an academic topic that is at an appropriate level,
content-wise and methodologically, and should also prove that he or she can
work independently with scientific literature, search for and sort information and
work it into an integrated form, and use knowledge acquired during his or her
studies.
The writing of a diploma thesis is all the responsibility of the student. The thesis
supervisor shall help the student deal with basic methodological and conceptual
questions. The supervisor may call attention to formal problems with the thesis,
and may, together with the student, establish a schedule for completing various
stages
of
the
thesis.
The topic and focus of a diploma thesis must correspond with the program of
study and major that the student has chosen, and it must also be related to
academic work undertaken at the given faculty (usually directly related to
research done at the department) where the DT was proposed.
Read more about purpose of study
A diploma thesis (hereinafter DT) written at the FES CULS may take the
following
forms:
study,
an experimental DT or the processing of already existing data,

software and information system development, advanced data
analysis,
a
an
project,
expert
opinion.
A study primarily based on the textual analysis of a selected issue, in other words,
it is a research project (recherch). The word recherch comes from the French. It
involves searching for, or verifying, facts, data, and information; it is a secondary
document containing a list of documents or a compilation of other, for example
factual, information, meeting the research demands. For the purposes of an DT a
textual analysis shall be complemented with a map analysis resulting in a
suggested solution to the issue in both textual and graphic form. See chapter 10 of
this guide for more information.
An experimental DT, or a DT that involves processing existing data, shall be

based on information that the author has obtained by himself or herself (e.g.
through field measurements) and the study of literature. A hypothesis must be
formulated at the beginning of the thesis. Then procedures for testing the
hypothesis must be proposed (methodology), and the results must be interpreted
and contrasted with the information that the author has gained from studying the
literature (discussion). See chapter 11 of this guide for more information.
A thesis that involves software and information system development, or advanced
data analysis may take the form of, for example, actual software, a module for
existing software, an analysis of issues relating to the future development of
software, a proposal of the structure or functionality of a (geographic)
information system with or without implementation, literature retrieval, the use
of and analysis of advanced (spatial) data processing, their analysis, etc. Theses
that make above average use of GIS for work on certain scientific or practical
issues are also included in this category. As a rule, a creative approach is needed,
which should include an analysis of the problem and its solution. See chapter 12
of this guide for more information.
A project is a method which enables the transfer of ideas to action, during the
course of which the various phases of this process become structuralized. The
goal is to change the (social) environment in which the project will take place. It
is necessary to include an assessment that ensures the connection between idea
and action. Projects must have clearly defined aims and lead towards clearly
defined results. They are intended to solve problems and thus involve a
foregoing needs analysis. The goal is to initiate a permanent societal change. In
order to achieve this, one or more possible solutions should be proposed. See
chapter 13 of this guide for more information.
A diploma thesis involving environmental expertise shall be based on the impact
assessment of a select development activity on a set component of the
environment (in the area of interest as per the student's proposal). The candidate
shall research appropriate literature on the topic and should produce several
possible solutions (including zero) and compare these possibilities. The results of
this thesis shall be presented in textual form and in graphic form in particular.
See chapter 14 of this guide for more information.

students may choose their own topic only if they find a member of the FES
willing to be the supervisor of such a DT,

further specifications shall be made in consultation with the DT supervisor;
the following shall be agreed upon with the supervisor: procedure, conditions,
accessible sources for the thesis and the possibilities for possible practical
solutions;
if the thesis is written in cooperation with a company, government office, etc.,
the student, together with the thesis supervisor shall further define the topic with
a consultant from the given institution, so that the thesis is acceptable to both
parties,
students may choose supervisor outside of FES upon an approved request.

3.1 Formal requirements
The recommended minimal length of an DT is approximately 40 standard
pages, not including appendices (one standard page consists of 30 lines of 60

characters); there is no maximum length (the thesis supervisor may suggest one).
A shorter DT is only possible if agreed upon in advance with the thesis
supervisor. The same type of consultation with the thesis supervisor holds true
for DTs that differ from classic DTs for example: an DT that is a collection of
articles or manuscripts that are published or are intended to be published.
Margin size - upper, lower and outer margins should be 2.5 cm and the inner
margin should be 4 cm; mirror size must be 145 mm x 247 mm. The inner margin
of 4 cm is primarily to allow for the thesis to be bound.
Page numbering shall be indicated at the bottom of the page in the footer. It is
not recommended to put page numbers on the left or on the inner side, because
page numbers may be no longer visible once the thesis has been bound.
Numbering shall be first indicated on the page titled "Introduction". However,
page numbers shall be counted from the first inner page of the DT.
Font Arial and Times New Roman are suggested.
Font size of the body text = Arial 11, Times New Roman 12, font size of captions,
graphs, tables, etc. may be in the range of 911.
Spacing is recommended to be single or 1.5 lines. To make the text clearer
individual paragraphs should be separated by small spaces (for example of 6
points).
Chapter division chapters must be numbered with Arabic numeral starting
with 1 (generally for the Introduction), must be titled and graphically distinct.
The decimal classification system must be used (1., 1.1, 1.1.1). It is recommended
that chapter numbering levels not exceed three (i.e. 1. entire chapter, 1.1. part
of the chapter, and 1.1.1 as part of the sub-chapter); however in exceptional cases
four levels may be used. For multilevel chapter numbering no decimal point is
written after the last number (e.g. 2.1.3), however a decimal point is written after
a single level number (e.g. 2.).
Text format the text must be written on single-sided A4 paper, and can be
written using MS Office or Open/Libre Office. The thesis should be considered a
technical report and thus it is necessary to pay attention to the uniformity,
objectivity and comprehensibility of the data and text. The thesis must be easily
readable without typographical or spelling errors. Stylistically the thesis may be
written in two different ways (the thesis supervisor should make a
recommendation). It can be written in the first person singular (e.g. I
determined, I propose,
etc.), which is recommended for parts which are the authors own work, or it may
be written using the passive voice in the past tense (it was determined, it was
proposed, it was discovered, it was observed, etc.). The first person plural is not
recommended as it creates the appearance that there is more than one author.
In-text references they are crucial for figures, tables, graphs, formulas,
photographs and appendices.
Numbering figures, tables, graphs, formulas, photographs and appendices
figures, tables, etc. must be separated by type and numbered accordingly (e.g.
Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, etc.; Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, etc.; Photo 1, Photo 2,
Photo 3, etc.; Appendix 1, Appendix 2, Appendix 3, etc.). Graphs are included as
figures!
Every figure, table, graph and photograph must have a caption and the source
must be indicated with a citation. The caption must include the number and title
of the figure, table, graph or photograph, and a brief description that enables the
reader to understand it. The information presented therein must be
understandable from the caption itself. Captions may be placed either under or
over these objects, however whichever position is chosen, it must remain uniform
throughout the thesis.
If characters, symbols or abbreviations are used in the text, figures, etc., or
appendices, a legend must be included. The legend must be clear and must
contain all elements that would otherwise be unidentifiable. The legend may be
part of a caption either above or below a figure, table, graph or appendix.
Appendices may be separated from the main text and be bound separately if
circumstances allow (e.g. if there are many map appendices). If appendices are
oversized, they may be placed in a tube marked with a label indicating the title of
the DT, the author's name, the supervisors name, the name of the university,
faculty and department, and the year of publication.
Thematic maps created by the candidate must respect basic cartographic rules
(for example they must contain required map elements). This is especially true
for maps in the appendices. Small, simple maps may be presented as a figure in
the text in such cases the same rules for figures apply.
Every abbreviation must be written out the first time it appears in the text. If
needed (for example if many abbreviations are used) an additional list of
abbreviations and their meanings can be included as a separate appendix.
Scientific names of plant and animal taxa must always be written in italics.
When a taxon is first mentioned in the text, the English and Latin name must be
indicated and afterwards only one of them needs to be used, but of course
uniformly.
The text should respect basic typographic rules. See for example
http://www.yefchak.com/typography/1.8.pdf
3.2 Required parts of an DT
The following required parts of a thesis must be included in the order listed:
a cover and title page,

the thesis proposal,
the DT authors declaration,
an abstract and keywords (in Czech and English),
the table of contents of the DT (with references to page numbers),
an introduction,
the aims of the DT,
methodology,
the thesis itself the arrangement differs depending on the type of thesis, see
below,
the results and the contributions of the thesis,
discussion,
conclusion,
works cited - literature and sources used,
appendices,
data storage devices CD / DVD (see Appendix 1).
3.2.1 The cover and title page
The name of the university, the thesis type (in this case Diploma thesis), the year
of publication and the first and last name of the author shall be indicated on the
cover. It is possible to indicate the name of the faculty under the name of the
university.
The title page must contain the name of the university, the faculty, the
department, the title of the DT, the thesis type (in this case Diploma thesis), the
first and last name and degree of the DT supervisor, the first and last name of the
author, and the year of publication.
3.2.2 Diploma thesis proposal
A diploma thesis proposal must be printed directly from IS BADIS and must be
signed by the department head as well as the dean of the faculty and must have a
faculty stamp as well. One copy of the DT shall include the original proposal,
whereas the others shall include copies.
3.2.3 The DT authors declaration
Here the student must declare that this is an independent piece of scholarship, by
writing, for example:
I hereby declare that I wrote this diploma thesis independently, under the
direction of" .... provided me with other information." I have listed all
literature and publications from which I have acquired information" The
student must sign the declaration.
3.2.4 Abstract and key words
Czech and English abstracts must be part of an DT, and must, on 0.5 to 1 pages,
summarize:
the aims of the thesis and the manner of reaching these aims,
a definition of the field of study,
the contributions of the thesis (the contribution of the author to the studied
topic).
3 5 keywords that describe the focus of the DT well must be listed after the
abstract. Words from the title of the thesis should not be repeated here (people
look up theses based on the title and keywords; if you use the same terms, the
chance of your thesis being found by someone is reduced).
3.2.5 Table of contents of the DT (with references to page numbers)
The arrangement of the thesis must be clear from the table of contents. The
starting page of each chapter must be indicated.
3.2.6 Introduction
The introduction must make clear why the given DT has been written. The
current state of knowledge about the problem must be briefly summarized
(sources must be referenced), i.e. what is already known about the problem being
studied and in contrast what is not known (e.g. from the point of view of the
academic problem at hand and the research focus, the analysis of a specific
locality or institution, data character, methods, etc.). The justification of the
thesis stems from this. Something is already known or has been worked on and
this thesis analyzes certain aspects of the problem which have yet to be analyzed
(again as regards research, locality, methods, etc). The aims should logically flow
from such an introduction.
3.2.7 The aims of the thesis
This chapter must contain:
clearly defined aims of the thesis and the manner in which they should be
reached,
new, expected contributions as a result of the DT.
3.2.8 Methodology
The student must describe in detail every methodological step and explain why it
was made. The methodology must be described in such detail so that on the basis
of this description the thesis could be repeated. In this way the student
demonstrates that he or she understands the problem. Therefore mere references
to the literature definitively do not suffice. A description of the area of interest
can also be part of the methodology.
3.2.9 Results
The goal of this chapter is to present important results in the form of text, graphs,
tables and/or maps. Do not include endless numbers of tables and thousands of
graphs with detailed analyses; only include important results. The results of
statistical tests must be presented according to convention (indicate the name of
the test used, sample size, the value of the test statistics and the probability value
achieved).
3.2.10 Discussion
As part of the discussion the student can share his or her own opinions on the
inputs, results and processes involved (concerning quality, other possibilities,
etc.), but above all the results and procedures of other authors should be
discussed and compared. The discussion should avoid merely restating data and
information from the Results chapter.
3.2.11 Conclusion
An DT conclusion must include:
a summary of the results, and knowledge acquired by researching and writing
the DT,
an assessment of how the established goals have been met,
the contribution made by the thesiss author to the problem,
an assessment of the how the results can be used, or other suggestions for
analysis in the relevant field.
3.2.12 Works cited - literature and sources used
The origins of ideas presented in an DT must be clear. Using citation etiquette
should result in a comprehensive overview of literature and other sources used.
See chapter 4 of this guide for more information.
Normally approximately 40 sources are contained in the literature for a DT.
Literature from internet sources should be supplementary as the base of the
literature should be printed. The accessibility and breadth of literature depend on
the thesis topic and thus a "minimum number" of academic and technical
literature shall be established by the thesis supervisor.
3.2.13 Appendices
The student must include outputs (maps, figures, tables, photographs, etc.) here
that cannot be inserted into the text, either because they are too large (more than
half of an A4-sized paper) or for other reasons. Appendices must be numbered
separately.
3.2.14 Data storage devices CD / DVD
A CD or DVD must be placed in the internal back cover in a sleeve that is
attached in such a way that the CD is accessible. The CD / DVD shall include the
name of the university, faculty, department, the title of the DT, the name of the
author and the year of publication. We recommend
using printable media. The CD can also be labeled using LightScribe technology.
These services are offered by the DTP center of the Faculty of Forestry and Wood
Sciences for example.
These are required parts for all types of DTs (studies, experimental DTs or DTs
that involve processing existing data, software development, IS proposal, projects
and environmental expertise). A more detailed chapter scheme per type of DT
can be found in chapters 10 14 of this guide.
3.3 Supplementary parts of the DT
The following may be included in an DT:
Acknowledgements if the student wishes to include acknowledgments in
his or her thesis, they should be arranged similar to the Declaration.
Acknowledgements come after the author's declaration. The student can name
anyone in the acknowledgements, whom he or she would like to thank for help
and support (the thesis supervisor, a consultant, parents, etc. however not the
opponent). It is also necessary to state any sources of finance (grants, sponsors,
etc.).
A list of figures, tables, graphs, formulas, photography and appendices if the
student includes these lists they should be placed after the literature and sources
used.
Glossary if the student includes a glossary it should be included before the
chapter Works cited - Literature and sources used.
List of abbreviations and symbols used if the student includes a glossary, it
should be placed before the Introduction chapter.
4. Citation Citation Citation Citation Citation Citation Citation ethics ethics ethics
A DT must respect copyrights and citation standards. In-text references must
be included as well as a list of literature and other sources. These two things must
be in accordance, i.e. an in-text reference must be included in the literature and
vice versa,
citations separate the author's own ideas from ideas taken from other sources;
all information taken from other sources must thus include a reference to the
original source, and as well the sources of all figures, graphs, tables and diagrams
must be included,
the student is responsible for the genuineness of the thesis, for respecting the
Copyright Act, and for including an overview of literature used and making exact
citations. If these rules are broken the thesis will not be recognized and through
disciplinary action the student may be expelled from the university. It is also
necessary to take into account the reaction and defense of authors whose works
have been abused, which may result in legal cases.
These rules apply to both printed texts as well as electronically distributed
texts (e.g. internet texts),
the author of an DT is citing correctly when he or she takes an idea from a
scholarly work and not the entire text; the original text should be stylistically
reworked for the needs of the DT, but the idea must remain unchanged and above
all it must be cited!
As regards the form of citations, students should follow the recommendations
in this document or the conventions used in distinguished academic journals
(either peer-reviewed or with impact factor) in the appropriate field.
The student should choose a manner of citing at the beginning of the DT that
he or she should maintain throughout the entire thesis!
Citations in-text references:
It should always be clear where every piece of information in a text comes from.
A reference may be given for a specific number, sentence, paragraph, etc. General
information of the type village Doln Lhota is located south of Prague should
not be cited, as this is general knowledge,
references after cited passages shall indicate author last name followed by the
year in parentheses e.g. (Novk 1980) or (Novk, 1980). If there are two authors,
they should be listed with a conjunction or be separated by a comma:
o (Novk & Cook 1980) / (Novk & Cook, 1980),
o (Novk and Cook 1980) / (Novk and Cook, 1980),
o (Novk, Cook 1980) / (Novk, Cook, 1980),
If there are three authors only name the first followed by et al. (Novk et al.
1995),
if more works by one author from the same year are cited, they should be
differentiated by marking them a, b, c, etc. both in the text and in the list of works
cited, e.g. (Novk 2008a). If several authors have the same last name, include
their first initials,
if you are cite multiple sources simultaneously, list them in chronological order
(Novk 2007; Novkov 2008; etc.) and alphabetically if they are from the same
year,
if the name of an author is unknown, write the name or the abbreviation of the
organization, which bears the responsibility for the document (UN 2004, IUCN
2006). Articles, maps, etc. for which the author is completely unknown should be
labeled (Anonymous 2001),
in order to make authors names clearer an appropriate font style may be
chosen (small capitals or all capital letters). This must be uniform throughout the
entire thesis,
only ideas and data shall be taken from other sources NOT the stylistic
formulation the style should be reworked so that it fits into the text, however
the idea must remain unchanged and be cited,
references may also be worked into the text as they look more professional: as
NOVK (1961) mentions, it is, however in contrast PROCHZKOV (1995)
indicates
a text with a reference to another source (i.e. a secondary citation) should not be
copied. In such cases it is necessary to find the original source and cite it. If it is
not possible to find and read the original thought of the author (e.g. if the
publication cannot be found in an academic library, on the Web of Knowledge, or
in the archives) a citation can be made in the form A ex. B. With this in your
text you present the information that A cited in his or her work B (for
example Novk 2000 ex. Slavk 1876),
references to parts or chapters of books that have different authors take the
form of "A in B" (e.g. (Novk 2005 in Novkov 2005) means that Mr. Novk is
the author of a chapter in Mrs. Novkovs book).
References to sources must be indicated for all figures, graphs and other
appendices that were not originally created by the author of the thesis,
in the discussion unpublished ideas or results can be cited by indicating the
author and the note (unpublished)" or better yet oral communication, or
written communication, or personal communication. These citations should
not be included in the list of works cited. To be more specific it is appropriate for
personal communications to write the first name and date or at least year, e.g.
(Jan Novk, 4/2007, oral communication); (Edward Nelson, 4/2007, written
communication); (Jan Novk, 4/2007, personal communication).
Citation works cited:
All citations that are referenced in the text must be in the works cited list, and
there may be nothing extra.
Every citation must end in a period as a sentence does,
Citations in the list of works cited must be arranged alphabetically by author
last name; if an author is cited more than once, works that he or she wrote alone
should be arranged in chronological order, followed by works were there are two
authors, etc. (for example in this order : Novk P., 2007; Novk P., 2008; Novk
P. & Cook, K., 2001),
The following order should be maintained in all citations:
o for books: The author's last name and first initial (comma), year of publication
(colon): Book title (period). Name of publisher (comma), place of publication
(comma or colon): number of pages (period). The number of pages does not need
to be given; if it is not the citation is completed with the place of publication,
o for articles in periodicals: The authors last name and first initial (comma), year
of publication (colon): Article title (period). The name of the periodical or its
official abbreviation and number or volume (colon): page range (period). Page
range must be given for periodicals,
o for chapters in books: The authors last name and first initial (comma), year of
publication (colon): Chapter title (period). In: Last name of the books editor and
first initial (ed.) (colon): Book title (period). Name of publisher (comma), place of
publication (comma or colon): page range of the chapter (period). If there are
multiple editors the abbreviation (eds) should be used.
Each part of the citation must be clearly separated from the following part by
using punctuation (periods, commas, etc.). Whichever method is chosen, it must
remain uniform throughout the thesis.
A graphic format can be chosen following the conventions of the relevant field,
but all citations must be graphically the same and uniform (e.g. do not combine
the use of Latin/Czech/English abbreviations). The list must be clear and allow
for quick searching,
Other details may be included: edition number, the edition title, etc. The ISBN
number may be included after the citation (although most scholarly periodicals
do not require it).
For unpublished sources (e.g. bachelors and diploma theses) the word
unpublished must be written after the thesis title as well as the location where
the thesis is stored: "Stored: Name of Archive,
For multiple authors do not use et al. In the list of works cited all of the
authors, as well as the editor (ed.) or editors (eds) must be listed using the
relevant abbreviations,
Internet sources should be cited similarly as articles, but instead of place of
publication indicate "online:" and the internet address and date accessed (or the
date of posting) Posted:, Accessed:. If possible the name of the website and
the operator should be added.

Laws:
It is necessary to realize that a law is characterized by its number, and thus the
wording of the law is written with a capital letter only in the first word,
in-text citation: pursuant to Paragraph 2 of Act No. 114 / 1992 Coll., on
nature and landscape protection, as amended; if a law is mentioned frequently it
is possible to include after its first mention (hereinafter referred to as the Act),
in the works cited list: Act No. 114 / 1992 Coll., on the Conservation of Nature
and Landscape, as amended. It must be kept in mind that laws are often
amended and thus it is necessary to specify which amendment you are referring
to. If it is the latest amendment, the formulation as amended must be used.
The list of works cited must be formatted uniformly here are some examples:

Study and borrowing books from the library (the SIC Library, the AV Library, the
National Technical Library, the National Library, the Agricultural Library, the
Library of the Agency for Nature Conservation and Landscape Protection of the
CR, etc. At these libraries you can access full-text databases of academic journals.
They will assist you with finding relatively difficult to find works at the SIC
through interlibrary loans),
Internet pages of academic journals (they usually contain only article abstracts),
Internet search engines (Google Scholar, etc.) (advance search should be used for
entering the entire title of articles, or looking for the homepages of authors, etc.)
On-line databases (citations, abstracts, full-text)
With the help of key words and their combination or other criteria (i.e. author
name, periodical title) a relevant citation, abstract or full-text article can be
found. Author contacts are also useful as they can be contacted by e-mail with
requests for their articles. Tip: All interesting links, references or entire abstracts
found should be saved or a simple table of citations abstracts and articles should
be created.
Freely accessible databases
BioMed Central (www.biomedcentral.com) contains full-text articles from
approximately 150 biological and medical journals. It is one of the best openaccess databases.
DOAJ (www.doaj.org) 107,000 full articles from approximately 600 journals.
Open J-Gate (www.openj-gate.com) - an expansive database of peer-reviewed
and non-peer-reviewed journals from various fields.

diploma thesesdiploma theses
9.1 Grade - excellent
The DT may have minor formal shortcomings, but contains quality ideas and
thoughts, including those previously analyzed in academic literature (according
to WOS) and in other relevant sources (for example Zoological Records).
The thesis fits exceptionally well into the wider theoretical context and has a high
chance of being published in a quality academic journal in the form of one or
more articles. The study is completed by a critical evaluation and suggestions for
further research. The student has not only clearly demonstrated the ability to
work independently and systematically, but from the thesis it is also clear that he
or she has research ambitions.
9.2 Grade very good
There are small problems with the thesis or the fulfillment of its aims, or there
are more serious formal or stylistic problems. The problems though are of such a
nature that they otherwise do not outweigh the high scientific/academic or
formal qualities of the submitted thesis. Nonetheless the student has proven the
ability to write a scholarly or scientific thesis.
9.3 Grade good
There are serious problems with the thesis or fulfillment of aims, or there are
very serious formal or stylistic problems (again both aspects are evaluated in
relation to each other, and one may significantly outweigh the other). The ability
of the student to write on a scholarly or scientific topic is demonstrated, but the
overall result has substantial flaws.
9.4 Grade unsatisfactory
The thesis contains very substantial flaws: e.g., the aims have not been met, the
actual thesis does not correspond with the thesis proposal, the thesis is of poor
quality or completely inaccurate, formal guidelines were ignored, the language
style used is not appropriate for scholarly or
academic texts, etc. The student has not demonstrated the ability to write a
scholarly or academic thesis or the ability to describe such a thesis in a suitable
manner. Theses involving plagiarism are also given this grade.

10.8 Literature research
Literature research should offer a useful overview of current knowledge in the
field, should synthesize knowledge of the problem dealt with, compare various
points of view, as well as evaluate and contrast the approach of different authors.
This chapter should be based primarily on scholarly literature.
10.9 Characteristics of the study area
In this chapter the student should present the selected study area and its
characteristics (pedology, geology, fauna, flora, etc.). For better orientation he or
she should include a map with the study area clearly marked and a map of
broader relations.
10.10 Methodology
In the Methodology chapter it is important to describe data collection methods
and data analysis methods, and to characterize background materials used
(primarily maps) so that the reader can assess the significance of the background
materials and the objective value of the conclusions.
10.11 Current state of the problem
It is necessary to describe the state of the problem, which serves as the students
starting point.

11.8 Methodology
can also be part of the methodology. The methodology should be internally
divided as needed to include parts about data collection including a description of
the sample size (number of measurements, etc.) and an experiment plan, and
further methods of (statistical) analysis including listing all related issues (the
type and justification for selecting the analysis used, data preparation for
example normality testing and its transformation, statistical program including
version).

This chapter should be based primarily on scholarly literature. This chapter may
be replaced by the Introduction, upon agreement with the thesis supervisor.

This type of diploma thesis involves the development of specialized software (or
the development of specialized applications for use with existing software),
specialized information systems or advanced GIS tool use or mathematical and
statistical methods for data analysis, dealing with issues in a specific scientific
discipline, a methodological or experimental solution to a specific problem, the
creation of a mathematical or data model for a certain process, etc. The thesis
should be related in topic to environmental problems. Specific requirements for
the output of the thesis should be determined by the DT supervisor in the thesis
proposal (e.g. software, a module for existing software, an analysis of issues
relating to future software development, a proposal for the structure or
functionality of an information system with or without implementation, literature
retrieval, use and evaluation of data analysis methods, etc.)
3.2.5)
Literature research for this type of DT may be minimal in length, or in
exceptional cases it can be disregarded entirely (if for example the authors work
is completely unique and is related only to general knowledge in the given field).
12.9 Initial analysis of the problem dealt with
A chapter with a similar name and significance can be included. In contrast to
literature research many sources of literature need not be included, and it may
for example describe a process for dealing with information in an institution or
field, and can be to a certain extent based on oral communications or
unpublished studies and specialized internet sources. The author can also
explain why he or she came to the conclusion that it was not possible to do the
type of research described in the chapter Literature research.
This does not done need to be included if the thesis is not about a specific area.
12.11 Methodology
can also be part of the methodology. The methodology should be internally
divided as needed to include parts about data collection including a description of
the sample size (number of measurements, etc.) and an experiment plan, and
further methods of (statistical) analysis including listing all related issues (the
type and justification for selecting the analysis used, data preparation for
example normality testing and its transformation, statistical program including
version).
The methodology may be of minimal length if the procedure is clear from the
chapter Initial analysis of the problem dealt with.
12.12 Thesis results
Thesis results in accordance with Chapter 3.2.9 should present substantial
results. This chapter need not be extensive, if the results are primarily data,
software, an IS, etc. in digital form, which cannot be integrated into the text due
to technical or size-related issues. Nonetheless in such cases the main result
should be stated with reference to the appropriate files on the data storage
devices and the main functions and contributions of the thesis should be
described as well.
12.13 Discussion
The discussion does not necessarily need to compare the results achieved with
the literature if the peculiarities of the thesis do not allow it. It should
nonetheless always contain the authors opinion on the proposed solution, on his
or her originally proposed variations, etc. That is, if it cannot be compared with
publications, the author should at least discuss with himself or herself previous
unpublished solutions and should describe the difficulties of the proposed
solution. This approach and comparison with literature can of course be
combined in the discussion.
12.15 Works cited - literature and sources used
Works cited can include fewer references than listed in Chapter 3.2.12. Also in
contrast to the above stated the number of internal sources can be larger and the
number of foreign sources can be less (if for example the thesis is about an issue
specific to the Czech Republic).

Additional chapters may be added if the specifics of the thesis require them. Even
with these modifications it must also be clear which ideas are the authors and
which he or she has taken from elsewhere. The justification of all changes must
be made by the thesis supervisor on the basis of necessary consultation with him
or her.

projectproject
This chapter is based on recommended technical standard DOS T file no. 6. 1
Group: Water Management Construction (2002) of the Czech Chamber of
Chartered Engineers and Technicians Engaged in Construction.
This recommended standard was created to define the optimal content level of
landscape engineering construction documentation. It should be pointed out that
these design documentation contents are only recommended and not
compulsory. Generally the contents of the documentation must adapt to the
complexity of the construction project, the requirements of the contract with the
investor, and the possibility for trouble-free construction while maintaining
sustainable land use.
The list and recommended contents of the documentation should be considered
maximums applicable to large construction projects. For normal landscape
engineering projects documentation should be limited in scope; sometimes
documentation for issuing zoning approval and documentation for issuing a
building permit is enough.
The thesis supervisor should specify the actual scope and contents of each
appendix in accordance with the proposal and available background information.
Landscape engineering construction project documentation
In the sense of the recommended standard the following construction projects
are understood to belong to the category of landscape engineering:
Anti-erosion construction projects for protecting soil from the effects of water
and wind erosion
Small water reservoirs and ponds
The regulation of small water courses
The restoration of small water courses
Technical forest amelioration
Torrent damming
Drainage construction projects
