The diploma thesis is focused on finding out awareness about wooden buildings in selected groups of potential customers - young people aged 25 to 35 years. The theoretical part of the work is focused on the characteristics of silicate-based buildings and wood-based buildings. In the case of wooden buildings, the basic construction technologies are listed, the reasons why a wooden house should be prepared and the most frequently repeated myths about them are listed. Subsequently, the work describes the situation on the real estate market in the EU Member States and Slovakia, which shows the development of real estate prices and rents over the past 10 years.

The basis for our research, which we focus on in the practical part of the work, were the data obtained from the questionnaire survey. In this work we define a questionnaire survey and selected methods of descriptive and inductive statistics subsequently used for data analysis. We describe the research sample in detail. Use confidence intervals for relative abundance in the base set, we estimate the proportion of people in the context of the following issues of awareness of wooden buildings, we test hypotheses about different perceptions of individual advantages and disadvantages associated with the use of wooden buildings in potential customers. Our results can be used mainly by wooden house manufacturers.
