Postoj místních samospráv a institucí k výstavbě paralelní dráhy na pražském letišti Václava Havla

This work deals with the attitude of local governments to the construction of a parallel runway at Prague's Václav Havel Airport, which also maps over time, examines their development and possible chances of local governments to reverse or influence the project. First, the bachelor's thesis briefly summarizes the history of the project, along with the cases that accompanied the purchase of land for the expansion of the airport and the construction of a new runway. The work also deals with similar cases from abroad, where there was resentment also due to the planned expansion of airports. At the same time, the work deals with the identification of positive and negative effects of airport development on its surroundings. Furthermore, the technical parameters of the operation of the current and planned parallel runways are mentioned here, to which local governments refer in an effort to point out the inefficient use of the existing two runways that Prague Airport has at its disposal. However, the under-utilization of existing runways at the airport is not the only problem highlighted by local authorities. In addition to inefficiency, it is precisely the exceeding of permitted noise limits in municipalities near the airport. Therefore, in the practical part of the work I find out the opinion of the project of the affected local governments and the prepared procedures in order to protect the local population from construction. The aim of the work is to evaluate the legal possibilities of local governments to influence the development of the project of construction of the parallel runway of Prague Airport and to identify the positive and negative impacts of construction on their surroundings by means of field research and questionnaire survey with authorized officials of the affected municipalities.
