Problematika těžby břidlicového plynu v průzkumném území Trutnovsko

This bachelor thesis examines the analysis of the potential impacts of the shale gas exploration in the exploration area Trutnovsko. Originally defined exploration area included almost the entire Broumovsko Protected Landscape Area and extended partly over the border of the Krkonoše National Park. In the first part, I deal with the concept of sustainable development, the protection areas in the Czech Republic and the basic circumstances of shale gas. In the second part, I analyze the exploration area Trutnovsko, dispute about exploration permits and then the possible impacts of the exploration of shale gas are discussed. The findings clearly indicate that the negative impacts of exploration would exceed the potential positives.
