The results were to be compared to data gathered from foreign respondents. Theoretical part discusses the topic of the thesis iand presents information on home assessment tools. Chosen ones are described in detail (Cougar, WeHSA, Housing Enabler, SEMAFOR home). Practical part summarizes the results of the questionaire using tables, graphs and statistical analysis. Data from 144 Czech and 135 foreign respondents was gathered and analysed.
