KUBEŠOVÁ, Stanislava
Sheltered housing is under the act n. 108/ 2006, about social services, defined as a residential service which is provided to people with reduced self- sufficiency because of disability or chronic illness including mental disability whose situation needs help of another person. Sheltered housing can be in a form of group or individual housing. At the beginning of the theoretical part is briefly described mental illness, its causes and classification. Another part is focused on social service system and specification of sheltered housing. The final part of the theoretical part is devoted to transformation process of social services, its present development, financing, criteria and possible risks. The objective of this bachelor´s thesis was to find out and compare approaches of addressed representatives of chosen municipalities to sheltered housing building within the process of transformation The Home of Pístina. The first sub-objective was to find out what problems can arise while looking for new locations for sheltered housing. The second sub-objective was to find out whether the public is informed enough concerning providing social service and about clients and their integration into society. To determine the set objective was used a qualitative research. Data was obtained by interviewing using a structured interview technique with open questions. Sample consisted of two types of respondents - representatives of communities A,B,C and a worker of South Bohemian Regional Authority. The research showed very different opinions and approaches of representatives in individual communities to sheltered housing building and to its clients as well. In the community A, where municipal authority understood the change of social service system in form which will not separate users of these services from the other inhabitants, all negotations about realization of this change proceeded without problems. Certain worries were mentioned by representatives about free movement of people with mental disability for reason of their abuse and ability to adapt to the new environment. In the community B, the situation was completely different. Municipal authority did not show any interest in building of sheltered housing.The problems arose at the very beginning with purchase of land. There was a lack of awareness about the process of social service transformation and about people who will use this service. Awareness of people about this issue led to worries about unsuitable behaviour of mentally disabled people in public. The research indicates the need to increase awareness of general public about facilities providing social services and about their clients. In case the county does not get this possibility from the community, it should explain the issue to the inhabitants itself in another suitable way and help people with mental disability to integrate in the society of selected location.
