Integration of Nepalese living in České Budějovice.
KORANDOVÁ, Tereza
The aim of the work was to find out how Nepalis living in České Budějovice are integrated in selected areas (language skills, education, work included in the community in their place of residence). Another goal was to describe how they maintain their cultural customs, traditions, and possibly religion. Find out if and how they use social services offered by selected organizations in České Budějovice. A qualitative research strategy was chosen using the methodology. The research group consists of Nepalis, especially those who run "Indian restaurants" in České Budějovice, but also their family members. Information was obtained from informants through interviews according to the instructions. The questions focused on the process of integration of foreigners from their subjective point of view into Czech society in selected areas. Data collection took place by deliberate selection of Nepalis living in České Budějovice legally. Because Nepalis live in communities here, they have similar customs, traditions and hobbies. The research was already saturated with 8 informants, no new categories of responses appeared during coding. According to the statistics of the MVČR (2020), a large number of Nepalis do not live in České Budějovice (only 39). Nevertheless, they want to integrate and function as regular citizens. In this process, however, they face a number of obstacles that do not make it easier for them to integrate into society. The contribution of the work is a description of the integration of Nepalis in České Budějovice with the possibility of insight into their experience, the effort to find friends and enjoy life in a country unknown to them. Another benefit is the characteristics of the built background, which the Nepalis created here. This can serve as a screening for employees of non-profit organizations, who could possibly try to establish cooperation with Nepalis and help them remove barriers to integration.
