Specifics of the project activities in the social sphere
KADRNOŽKOVÁ, Renata
The diploma thesis deals with project activities in the social sphere. The aim was to find out the specifics of project activities in the social sphere. There was one research question in relation to the objective of the research determined: What are the common features and what is the difference between project activities in social services in the South Bohemian Region? The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part is focused on project management, non-profit sphere and especially on social services. The practical part of the thesis was done by qualitative approach. Data of drawing subsidies in social services in 2007 to 2013 in South Bohemian region program of support A were first evaluated in order to achieve the objective of the work. Semi-structured interviews with communication partners from non-profit organizations were done after. They were workers who are taking care of project activities in their work. Criteria for the selection of communication partners were anomalies in the allocated subsidies for social services from the support program A for the organizations in which the communication partners were employed at the time of the interviews. The interview was also conducted with a grant specialist from the South Bohemian Region. The research found that in Support Program A was supported most of these social services: nursing service, professional social counseling and homes for the elderly. On the other side, the following social services were the least supported: therapeutic communities, interpreting services, support for independent housing. Furthermore, the average subsidy from project activities to one social service, the minimum subsidy and the maximum subsidy were determined. Interviews with communication partners showed that everyone is working on projects in a team and have rich experiences. The diploma thesis identified several specifics, such as budget, financial uncertainty, variability of social services, insufficient allocation of funds, financial dependency of organizations on projects, and that projects are for the basic needs of services, such as salaries of employees. This diploma thesis may be an incentive for further research in this area, or a source of information for organizations providing social services and their staff involved in project activities and drawing subsidies.

Individual planning in terms of low-threshold devices for children and youth
KADRNOŽKOVÁ, Renata
This bachelor's thesis deals with individual planning in low-threshold facilities for children and youth. The main goal is to compare individual planning in several low-threshold facilities for children and youth. The topic of my thesis I have chosen for several reasons. The first reason for me was the interest of the target group of children and youth whom I would like to work with in the future. My interest led me to the completion of practice in low-threshold facilities for children and youth Zastávka in Telč where I could check my theoretical knowledge and get a look "behind the scenes" of what this social service is related to. The theme of this thesis was selected after the interview with social worker in the second low-threshold facility for children and youth as he said that it was the individual planning in low-threshold facilities for children and youth where where the main problems are. This thesis is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. The aim of the study was to compare individual planning in several low-threshold facilities for children and youth. In my research, I tried to summarized data that would provide answers to the research questions. With the help of interviews with communication partners I was able to compare what are the common characteristics of individual planning in low-threshold facilities for children and youth, and where is specifically individual planning different. The results showed that key workers vary in length of practice in low-threshold facilities for children and youth and in a number of individual plans, which were created with their users. An important feature in which communication partners vary is the amount of users that they have in charge. The research has found that a key worker usually accounts for 20 to 30 users. Two social workers, however, had number of users several times higher. The problem arises from a large number of users as social workers do not have enough time for individual planning with all of their users. I hope that my thesis will help raise awareness of social service in low-threshold facilities for children and youth. The thesis could be very interesting for social workers in low-threshold facilities for children and youth. Finally, it could help to those students who have decided that they want and will deal with individual planning in low-threshold facilities.
