Kotlínová, Lucie ; Spilková, Jana (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Nina (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the development of providing services of homes for the elderly between 2007-2012 in the context of population ageing in the Czech Republic. In this thesis population ageing in the Czech Republic is characterised in each region and these results are compared with other countries of the European Union. In the second part the development of providing services of the homes for the elderly is analysed from the beginning of the law 108/2006 Sb., about social services based on the data from Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, Czech Statistical Office and on the survey with social workers employed in homes for the elderly. Although the proportion of seniors in the Czech Republic in comparison with other countries of the European Union is increasing relatively fast and according to the prognosis the growth will continue in the future, the number of homes for the elderly in the reported period rose only slightly and the number of beds in them rather stagnated. This situation is caused mostly by requirements for improving of the quality of provided services, by the individualization of the care for the clients in these facilities and by stronger support of the mobile social care services for the elderly. Keywords: population ageing, senior, homes for the elderly

Petrišče, Ondřej ; Dvořáková, Nina (advisor) ; Spilková, Jana (referee)
EVERYDAY LIFE AND SOCIAL ISOLATION OF ELDERLY PEOPLE IN URBAN AND RURAL ENVIRONMENTS THE ABSTRACT: My presented diploma thesis includes two concepts. The first one describes the quality of life and residential environments; the second concerns social isolation. Both of these examine a different view on the quality of life within the senior generation because the daily life of the older generation is influenced by the intensity and frequency of sociable relations together with the quality of residential environment in which they live. In the study I chose two different types of environments - an urban environment of Plzeň, a borough of Doubravka and a rural environment of a small village - Pasečnice. In the work, I observed the strengths and weaknesses of these environments in a group of people, who were interviewed. The research was made with semi-structural interview and analyzes the disposition of social isolation and the personal feeling about each residential environment. Diploma thesis concentrates on the main factors in senior's daily lives such as social relations, housing, basic service facilities, transportation availability, free time, and safety in the mentioned area of living. Key words: social isolation, quality of residential environments, seniors, city, country, civic facilities

Dušek, Petr ; Špačková, Petra (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Nina (referee)
Young people in the suburb: the case study of Zvole Abstract This thesis deals with the impact of the process of residential suburbanization on changes in mobility and spatial structure of daily activities of young people. The aim is to assess the nature of some aspects of the social environment, such as character of interactions between original inhabitants and newcomers. The move to the suburban areas resulted in the need for frequent commuting to Prague to schools and services. The research showed that young people are limited by the public transport in their daily movement. The social interactions of the newcomers and the indigenous people are limited, however, it is possible to anticipate their positive development.
