Macháček's research interests include environmental aspects of industrial activity, artisanal mining, and its socio-economic aspects. Artisanal mining (artisanal mining) employs tens of millions of people in the world and could be one of the tools for the development of less-developed regions, especially in developing countries. Another area of interest is the development of the Czech rural areas within the current demographic trends.
