Krizový management na hudebních festivalech se zaměřením na bezpečnost: případová studie

The aim of the master’s thesis is to describe and classify safety and security risks typical of large music festivals and to analyze the crisis management tools used to manage them. The practical part is designed as an instrumental case study of the Rock for People festival. Empirical data are drawn from semi-structured interviews with representatives of key organizational, safety, and managerial roles within the festival, an analysis of internal documentation, and participant observation. The findings indicate that the festival’s crisis management is based on a combination of formalized processes and expert decision-making in operational practice. At the same time, the data reveal the absence of a unified legislative and methodological framework for mass event safety in the Czech context. The thesis formulates recommendations applicable to music festivals and provides inputs for the further development of safety management in the Czech Republic.
