2. Application of the methods of the environmental forensics in judical practice

   The current rapid development of forensic science in a wide range of scientific and auxiliary disciplines aims to primarily unify its methodological approaches not only within the EU. The problematic situation arises for example from the valuation of industrial areas before modernization or purchase or using defunct industrial zones, so-called brownfields. These areas are mostly devastated and with a notable old ecological burden caused mainly by contamination by a wide range of hazardous substances. It is then problematic to determine the extent of contamination, to propose measures to remedy the contamination and especially to determine liability (the party guilty) for the damage, which is often a subject of litigation. The aim of this work will be, based on a thorough analysis of the system approach, to create a comprehensive set of methods and procedures, including their application for the purpose of environmental forensics, which finds application in litigation and technical expertise, especially to accelerate, unify and clarify the issues in the process of valuation and determination of liability and damages.

3. Methodology of evaluation of selected kinds of movable assets

   Goal: To elaborate a detailed assessment methodology for the selected type of movables including the procedure of making provision for the common, overall and general repairs, viewing the ultimate states and adjusting the financial damage. The subject will be specified according to the student´s orientation (e.g. wood-working machines, textile, foundry, agriculture machines, food-industry).

4. The methodology of the economic valuation of non-market ecological functions of the environment

   The world economies still make use of the environment and its ecosystems mostly free of charge. The consequence of unrestricted usage is the rapid decline in the reserves of natural capital as the supply of life-giving environmental functions. A problematic situation particularly occurs in the case of damage to the non-production functions of the environment. Among other problems are economic damages caused by environment degradation which are also affecting the issue of valuation of non-market ecological functions of the environment, on which a great emphasis has been placed in recent years. One of the problems is also leakage of hazardous substances into the environment due to traffic or industrial accidents that may have serious and often irreversible effects on its role. The aim of this work is, based on the analysis and systematic approach to the issue, to propose a uniform approach to the valuation and determination of the amount of harm, especially to the non-production functions of the environment for the purpose of forensic engineering and connoisseurship to help professionals accelerate and unify the approach in resolving such problems including litigation.

5. Valuation of buildings for landscaping

   The aim is to build the methodology of the technical- economic indicators for the valuation of building objects for landscaping . Building objects for land consolidation are called by the term " common facilities " . Common facilities are specific objects whose valuation as properties is not fully covered by existing valuation methods . The methodology for the valuation of common facilities will connect the issue of valuation in landscape engineering, civil engineering and forensic engineering. Knowledge of various engineering disciplines and their applications enable to create innovative work practices and approaches to valuation of common facilities . Part of this work will be the application of the proposed methodology in selected cases and the creation of sub- sample database of technical-economic indicators of common facilities of land consolidation. Theme is suitable for graduates of master's degree in the field of Civil Engineering Management and Water Management and Water Structures focusing on landscaping, or for graduates of other disciplines master's degree related to the issue .
