Public Policy Options in Increasing Political Sophistication of Adult Citizens in the Czech Republic
Černá, Lucie ; Veselý, Arnošt (advisor) ; Mička, Pavel (referee)
This thesis presents the theme of low political awareness of adult citizens in the Czech Republic from the perspective of public policy. Low level of political awareness is conceived as a major reason that voters are not able to vote according to their real interests. The focus is on whether the problem is a topic that public policy should pursue and whether it is possible to find a public policy tools to deal with it. It is mainly based on the three-dimensional model of political sophistication, Evert Vedung's concept of public policy instruments, the concept of the correct voting and ideas of participatory democracy. Despite the fact that the given issue bears the hallmarks of an ideal problem for public policy and we can find some tools that could improve the current situation, there are broader factors that hinder their operations. These include the impact of previous undemocratic regime or the behavior of politicians. Such barriers are closely related to the way of human thinking and can be removed only with difficulty.

Constructing Participatory Spaces: Involving Citizens into the Urban Development Planning from the View of Planners
Beránková, Petra Alexandra ; Mička, Pavel (advisor) ; Veselý, Arnošt (referee)
The work deals with constructing of participatory spaces in the process of urban development planning. The topic of involving citizens into planning is viewed from the point of planners. A concept of participation in this text is conceived in the sense of invented spaces built from above. The research perspective is an interpretative one, anchored in the constructivist epistemology. Therefore the main question is: How do planners reflect involving citizens in the planning? Firstly, the authoress demonstrates the importance of her topic by putting it into the context of wider social dynamics related to the crises of representative democracy and emerging of sub-politics. She reveals that the trend of building participatory opportunities is strengthening. The important question is formulated: How is the role of public in the strategic planning constructed? On the base of analytical induction of semi-structured interviews with planners, the authoress creates her own typology of ideal-type approaches to participation. These types of approaches came out from a distinction of the extent and the aim of spaces of participation. The involvement of citizens can be seen either as building of community, activation of elites, mapping of public preferences or as consultation with local experts.

The relationship between civic participation and hedonistic lifestyle of adolescents.
Šíp, Michal ; Frič, Pavol (advisor) ; Mička, Pavel (referee)
Bibliografický záznam ŠÍP, Michal. Vztah občanské participace a hédonistického životního způsobu u mladistvých. Praha: Karlova univerzita, Fakulta sociálních věd, Institut sociologických studií, 2015. 133 stran, Vedoucí diplomové práce Doc. PhDr. Pavol Frič, Ph.D. Anotace Diplomová práce "Vztah občanské participace a hédonistického životního způsobu u mladistvých" zkoumá, do jaké míry je oprávněné hledat příčinu nízké hodnoty občanské participace mladistvých v hédonistickém životním způsobu. Participativní chování poskytuje mladistvým prostor pro psychosociální rozvoj, podporuje jejich demokratický kapitál a též artikulační možnosti vnášet vlastní agendu do veřejného prostoru. Dá se předpokládat, že vzhledem k demografickému vývoji české společnosti bude potřeba participace mladistvých stále více žádaná. Pro implementaci účinných veřejně politických nástrojů k řešení této situace je důležitá znalost participativního chování mladistvých i jejich motivace, hodnotové orientace a sociálních potřeb. V teoretické části práce jsou proto představeny jednotlivé perspektivy zkoumání občanské participace a hédonistického chování. Práce pracuje se dvěma hypotézami. První hypotéza předpokládá, že hédonistický životní způsob produkuje takové vzorce chování a hodnotovou orientaci, které jsou v principielním rozporu s...
