Prognosis of social services in the demographic development context in the area of Vlachovo Březí municipality
PETRŮ, Libuše
Social care services in a certain region are highly affected by the demographic development. To evaluate the demand for social care services, the population, age structure, life expectancy, natality and mortality should be considered. There are 1691 inhabitants living in Vlachovo Březí as at 31 December 2008. Most social care services for the town residents are provided by other municipalities of the Prachatice district. The thesis was aimed at document analysis and a subsequent statistical procedure which, together with future demographic development, formed a basis for the prognosis of the demand for social care services in Vlachovo Březí at the age groups 0-7, 15-18 and 65+ years during the 2010-2020 period. The other goal was to find out the use of social care allowances by beneficiaries and financial costs of the allowances for 65+ age group in Vlachovo Březí. Based on the prognosis for single age groups and the evaluation of the current social services, the findings are as follows: As an early years child care service (0-7 years) does not exist in the district, a necessity of setting up such a facility, which will serve this age group in the district centre (Prachatice), can be expected. Social care services for the age group between 15-18 years are currently insufficient so to build a low-treshold facility should become a priority. The age group 65+ is supposed to grow. A senior home has not been established in Vlachovo Březí and the surroundings. There is a possible way in setting up a nursing home with a simultaneous enhancement of community care services. In addition, the research helped us discover the fact that expenses on the social care allowances are not spent effectively and financial costs of them will increase 1.5 times in the next 10 years. The future revaluation of a current system of the allowance payment or a dependancy rate of the beneficiaries seems to be necessary. There are 1184 beneficiaries in the Prachatice municipality with extended competence as at 31 December 2009. This thesis can serve as a draft plan of social care services in the region. It can also be helpful in further research into this topic and the dissemination of the research findings.
The active leisure activities for Romany children in the Prachatice region.
PETRŮ, Libuše
The Romany population is extremely disadvantaged nowadays. Romany children often pursue spontaneous activities and are vulnerable to pathological dependencies. It is a challenge for the majority community to prevent them from such activities and to offer Romany children quality leisure time activities. Spending leisure time effectively should be an obvious part of our children{\crq}s life. Leisure time projects have a favorable impact on the integration of Romany children. They are also means for social-pathological phenomena prevention in society. The aim of my thesis was to survey the attendance of Romany children at leisure time projects for children of majority community and their attendance at leisure time projects focused on Romany children. The research was conducted in the Prachatice area. I questioned providers of leisure time activities to find out about leisure time activities organized for Romany children and those organized for children of majority community. The results of my research show that Romany children attend regularly leisure time activities organized for children of majority community. Romany children also attend leisure time activities focused especially on their ethnic group. The comparison shows that activities offered for both groups of children are appropriate and welcome by all children. Romany representatives cooperate at program development focused on Romany children. But there is still a lot to improve in this cooperation. Greater activity of Romany parents will be welcomed. There is no Romany representative willing to get involved in organizing Romany children activities together with those who organize activities for children of majority community. The conclusions of my thesis may be used in a regional community planning. The organization providing services for Romany children may benefit from the results of my research. My research may be followed by another research, focused on Romany children who do not take part in any organized activities and whose parents do not cooperate with the organizers.
