Short description:	The lecture presents the topics relating to the components of the environment, natural resources and their economical use.
Full description:	The lecture aims at imparting knowledge about the components of natural environment and the ways for the sustainable use of them. A particular focus has been placed on the practical use of experiences of the natural sciences in economic planning. The lecture presents the significance of endo- and exogenous processes, atmospheric and hydrological phenomena in environmental planning. Natural resources and the ways of their exploitation are presented. The human-environment relationship is presented in a historical perspective. A student's workload: Lecture: = 16 h Preparing for lectures 0.5h/week = 8 h Preparing for the exams = 20 h Total = ca. 44 h
