An overview of environmental regulations including nature and landscape conservation valid in the Czech Republic is given with focus on the Act 114/1992 Coll. on nature and landscape conservation (in the present amended version). The objectives of the course are 1) to get a broad overview of legal regulations in the Czech Republic (in particular those of the highest level) regarding the protection of nature, landscape and the components of human environment; 2) to orient one-self in these regulations - get an idea of the approach taken, how the topic is structured, where to find specific enactments to partial issues; and 3) to get an idea of how issues of nature conservation and environmental protection are being approached in practice from the legal point of view.
