| Abstract: | Cilj ovog istraživanja je analizirati primjenu mjera zaštite okoliša u smještajnim objektima u jednom odabranom hotelskom lancu u Republici Češkoj. Primarno istraživanje provedeno je od veljače do travnja 2018. godine. Podaci su dobiveni pomoću upitnika, tj. strukturiranim intervjuima, koji se provodio putem elektroničke pošte i telefona. Znanstvena metodologija zasnivala se na uporabi metoda analize i generalizacije. Uzorak istraživanja sastojao se od 23 smještajna objekta koji su dobili najbolje ocjene u korištenju fluorescentnih lampi i LED žarulja (96%) te središnjih prekidača svjetala (77%), kao i zamjenjivanja posteljine i ručnika na zahtjev (68%). Na temelju rezultata istraživanja može se zaključiti da bi se u smještajne objekte odabranog lanca hotela trebalo uložiti više financijskih sredstava za zelene inicijative i upoznavanje zaposlenika i gostiju s ovom filozofijom. |
| Abstract in different language: | The objective of this research article is to analyze the application of environmental measures at accommodation facilities in a selected hotel chain in the Czech Republic. The primary research was carried out between February and April 2018. The data were obtained through a questionnaire survey conducted by email as well as telephone and structured interviews. In terms of science methodology, the research utilized the methods of analysis and generalization. The research sample consisted of 23 accommodation facilities with the best results in the evaluation of the use of compact fluorescent lamps and LED lights (96%), central light switches (77%) and the replacement of bed linen and towels upon request (68%). Based on the research findings, it can be assumed that the accommodation facilities of the selected hotel chain require investing more financial resources into green initiatives and acquainting their staff and guests with this philosophy. |
