Adaptation of Chernobyl Czechs in Czech environment
Hlaváčová, Julie ; Uherek, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Pergl, David (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the adaptation of the second generation of Chernobyl Czechs who re-migrated to the Czech territory between 1991 and 1993 from the territory of today's Ukraine. The primary aim is to find out how they perceive the process of their own adaptation, how they think about their own national identity and how is their identity specific. The theoretical part describes the historical context of Czechs in Ukraine and their re- migration back to their homeland. The methodological part explains the use of semi- structured interviews as a research method, and I also present the chosen method of qualitative analysis and the ethical aspect of the research. In the empirical section, I then present the codes and categories developed during the analysis. The themes that emerge from the data analysis are divided into four categories: perceptions of life in the Czech Republic, personality traits, elements of everyday life, and social ties. Through these categories, I present the resettled people's perception of the process of adaptation, integration into society and their own national identity. In the final part of the thesis, I discuss the findings in relation to the research questions. I try to relate the findings to the theoretical model of adaptation strategies developed by John W. Berry.
