Integrated Operational Programme, by Anna Vilímová
On 21 December 2007 the European Commission adopted the Integrated Operational Programme (IOP). Complementary to other thematic and regional programmes in the 2007–2013 programme period, the IOP integrates several subjects into three basic spheres to be governed by state administration authorities or territorial public administration authorities: modernization of the public administration, improvement of the quality and availability of public services in human resources, and support to spatial development (in relation to certain branches of tourism, the cultural heritage, housing and spatial policies). A joint objective of the three domains is to strengthen the system of public administration and public services in the Czech Republic, in order to improve the quality of life of the population and the country’s attractivity for developers. The IOP will be co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund. The Ministry for Regional Development of the Czech Republic was appointed the regulatory authority of the programme.
Plánování v oblasti vod v České republice a v povodí Vltavy | Jaroslav Beneš
Water Management Planning in the Czech Republic and in the Basin of the River Vltava, by Jaroslav Beneš
The article is a brief guide through the current system of water management planning and the basic links to selected tools of physical planning. The history of the development in water management planning in the Czech Republic is mentioned first, followed by the core part of the article – the characteristics of the water planning system and the description of its two levels, the Plan of the Main River Basins of the Czech Republic and the river basin district plans. Basic territorial units, river basin districts, and water bodies are defined, based on which the river basin district plans are elaborated. For the basin of the Vltava river, the elaboration procedure of the 3 plans of the Upper and Lower Vltava River Basin Districts, and that of the Berounka River Basin District, is presented. Concludingly, links among the Plan of the Main River Basins of the Czech Republic, the river basin district plans, the physical planning documentation, and the spatial analysis data, are outlined.

The Coherence of Physical Planning and Water Management Planning, by Marie Polešáková
After one and a half years (5/2006 UPSD), one issue of our magazine is once again devoted to water management planning, obviously in relation to spatial planning. The important contexture of the two planning activities has a direct impact on the utilization of space. Two legislative norms have to be mentioned in this regard, both related to the utilization of space and, consequently, involving the physical planning documentation — first, the 262/2007 governmental decree about the declaration of the obligatory part of the Plan of Main River Basins of the Czech Republic, complying with the 2000/60/EC Water Framework Directive of the European Parliament and the Council dated 23 October 2000, and second, the 2007/60/EC Directive dated 23 October 2007, on the assessment and management of flood risks, which has been obligatory for all EU member states since the end of 2007, adding flood protection regulations to the stipulations of the previous Directive.
Povodí Labe, státní podnik a internetová aplikace Územně analytické podklady | Darina ŠitinováThe Watercourse Management of the Elbe and the Spatial Analysis Data Internet Application, by Darina Šitinová
Based on the §185 of the new Building Act, the state-owned watercourse managing establishment of the river Elbe, Povodí Labe, was supposed to provide relevant data for the elaboration of the spatial analysis no later then 9 months after the Act entered in vigour. The article describes how we squared up with such duty, which problems there were to be solved, and how the Spatial Analysis Data Internet application came into being and what it can be used for.
Riziková analýza záplavových území v procesu územního plánování – aplikace na území města Brna | Aleš Dráb, Jaromír ŘíhaRisk Analysis of Flood Areas in the Urban Planning Process: Application in the Territory of the City of Brno, by Aleš Dráb, Jaromír Říha
In reaction to the catastrophic floods in central Europe in the last ten years, the 2007/60/EC Directive of the European Parliament and the Council, dated 23 October 2007, was adopted, dealing with the assessment and management of flood risks. The contents of the Directive indicates a massive application of modern methods of risk analysis in flood areas throughout the EU, including thus the Czech Republic. Worth saying, the risk assessment procedures in flood control have been developed and applied in the Czech Republic ever since the catastrophic 1997 floods. Fortunately, the Czech Republic enters the next period ready in terms of available tools of the risk analysis and experienced in practical verification in various pilot locations. Currently there are efforts to include the results of the flood risk analysis into the newly updated urban plans. This paper presents the example of the risk analysis of the General Water Management Study of the city of Brno, prospectively a basic document of water management for the process of Brno’s urban planning.
Stanovení území ohroženého zvláštní povodní | Jan Jandora, Jaromír Říha
Determination of Dam Break Flood Hazard Areas, by Jan Jandora & Jaromír Říha
The construction and operation of dams entails the risk of the malfunction of their bodies. Through such malfunction, dam break flood of three possible kinds may originate: due to the failure of the dam, the malfunction of the gates of appurtenant works, or as consequence of emergency solutions to peril situations of the scheme. According to the Czech 254/2001 Water Act, a dam break flood hazard area is a territory which can be inundated in case of dam failure. If the supposed area of the dam break flood hazard is significantly larger than that of the natural flood, the extent of such territory is determined in a crisis plan, correspondingly to the 240/2000 Crisis Act. For the determination of the size of the endangered area and the expected spatio-temporal course of the dam break flood, procedures similar to those for the determination of flood areas according to the relevant 236/2002 governmental regulation are used. The article describes the manner in which dam break flood parameters are assessed and the methods through which the expected impact in the affected area is evaluated.
Protipovodňová opatření v povodí Moravy – příklad Olomouce | Jana ZimováFlood Control in the Morava River Basin: the Example of the City of Olomouc, by Jana Zimová

Hlubinné artéské vody v brněnské kotlině – potenciální náhradní zdroj vody | Milan ČáslavskýDeep Artesian Waters in the Hollow Basin of Brno: an Alternative Water Source, by Milan Čáslavský
On a worldwide scale, the situation in water provision is continually deteriorating because of the dramatic increase in population density and the impact of negative civilization phenomena. The problem of water supply is getting beyond its professional dimensions, becoming a political one. Unforeseen failures in water supply, resulting from natural disasters or terrorist attacks, may involve the Czech Republic, just like any other country. In this view, sufficient alternative resources of water are necessary. In the surroundings of the city of Brno, one potential water source is the structure of deep artesian waters, offering a reliable opportunity to survive under critical situations. Nevertheless, such structure needs adequate protection in order to be utilizable and exploitable by the oncoming generations.
