Social Networks of Retirement Home Residents
ŽALIOVÁ, Lucie
This bachelor thesis, which deals with the social networks of retirement home residents, consists of a theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is devoted to aging and related changes, health and social services for older adults with a focus on retirement homes, and social networks including social support. The practical part involves the research aimed at finding out what social networks the retirement home residents have. Two research questions were formulated based on the research aim: "What individuals are part of the social networks of retirement home residents?" and "How do retirement home residents maintain their social contacts?". A qualitative research strategy, a survey method, and a technique of semi-structured interview were chosen to carry out the practical part. Interviews were conducted with residents and caregivers in the selected retirement home. The results of the research highlight, among other things, the key role of older adults' social networks in fulfilling their psychosocial needs, providing help and support, and indicate an impact on their psyche. They emphasize that personal contact with their loved ones is irreplaceable for retirement home residents. The thesis will be provided to the facility where the research was conducted to serve as an informational resource on the social networks of its clients and provide suggestions for optimization in this area. It could also serve similar facilities as inspiration for supporting their clients in social interactions.

The process of providing support through a comprehensive rehabilitation system
ŠTURMOVÁ, Alena
The aim of the thesis was to analyse the current form, process, and available means of providing support within a comprehensive rehabilitation system and its coordination with the broader ARPIDA centre, from the perspective of clients' parents and with an emphasis on the application of case management. The centre emphasises the cooperation of the cross-functional team, with parents perceived as partners and an organic part of the team of specialists. The thesis can thus serve as a basis for the development and improvement of existing services and their coordination in the ARPIDA centre. The qualitative research strategy, interviewing research method and semi-structured interview data collection technique were determined to be the most suitable for this particular thesis. The sample group consisted of clients' parents at different life stages who use services at the ARPIDA centre. The informants were selected based on the staff's recommendation and to form a representative group of all types of services provided by ARPIDA. Eight interviews were conducted and the selection was concluded on the bases of data saturation, where there was repetition of themes, opinions and the interviews did not bring new information. The data was processed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), which explores the subjective experiences of informants in detail, resulting in 13 main themes that underpin the research questions and the aim of the thesis: Perceptions of the holistic rehabilitation system, the interconnectedness of services, which services are missing from the centre's offerings, first contact with the centre, perceptions of communication with staff, whom parents can contact, collaboration with key workers, support from staff and their collaboration, how parents perceive their role in the cross-functional team, interprofessional meetings with staff, case manager involvement, and what are the weaknesses and strengths of the holistic rehabilitation process. Answers to all of these themes can help the ARPIDA centre to better understand how clients' parents perceive comprehensive coordinated care in the spirit of a holistic system of rehabilitation.

Analysis of the use of the potential of brownfields in the social area using the example of the South Bohemian Region
SEDLÁKOVÁ, Anita
The diploma thesis examines the use of the potential of brownfields in the social area on the example of the South Bohemia Region. The theoretical background of brownfields and the emergence of social innovation is presented and the approach to brownfields in the Czech Republic and abroad is compared. These theoretical findings are further applied in the practical part, which examines the former factory site in Jindřichův Hradec. An em-pirical survey with the public and interviews with stakeholders were conducted to propose a new use of the identified brownfield. The results of the empirical investigation show that the residents of Radouňka positively evaluate the change of ownership of the identified brownfield to a non-profit organization, which will lead to the regeneration of the area. The thesis proposes a concept of use in the context of helix models that promotes social inclusion and empowerment of the disabled in society through an unusual employment for the disabled in a sheltered garden center that would be established on the brownfield site. The new proposal deepens cooperation with the town of Jindřichův Hradec, universities and secondary schools and presents new forms of cooperation with local businesses. Fur-thermore, the financing options are examined, which show that the project will have to be financed primarily by external sources. The last part of the thesis deals with the feasibility study. Based on a cost-benefit analysis, the project to build sheltered workshops, shel-tered gardens and social therapy workshops was determined to be acceptable.

Ethically responsible support of social activation and prevention in social services
Jahodová, Jitka ; Červenková, Denisa (advisor) ; Bouma, David (referee)
The role of society in providing social services is long-established. Meanwhile, the range of social issues having to be addressed by social services is continuously growing. The risks associated with resource constraints are expected to rise significantly, and this issue keeps generating debate on available resources' allocation. Social innovation strives to reflect and tackle these related, complex societal challenges. All activities, as well as the discussion related to social services' innovation, should be conducted in compliance with ethical principles. The main objective of this thesis is to contribute to an understanding that making ethical responsibility an integral part of everyday decision-making and practice empowers reaching a sustainable positive social change. This, in turn, can create a normatively compact solution - and vice versa.

Sluková, Marianna ; Zoubek, Michal (referee) ; Makovský, Zdeněk (advisor)
The aim of this project is a reconstruction of a former kindergarten building in Žďár nad Sázavou to a community center with several functional units. The existing building was bulit in 1960s. The site is located on the border of the old and new buildings – on one side, there is a Stalingrad housing estate from the 1950s built from brick houses in the socialist realism style. On the other side of the site are built new family houses, which are quickly expanding. The smaller part of the object is still used, the rest is abandoned. The house is surrounded by a large garden. The garden is defined by a fence and trees in a way, which creates a barrier, so the building does not communicate with surroundings in any way. The aim of the project is to create a centre of Stalingrad connected with surroundings and creating a meeting place for communities living in the area by using building interventions.
