In theoretical part there are defined social services and concepts related with them, there is also concretization of the target group, activities of the services according to the act mentioned above and basic description of the individual planning. In the practical part of this bachelor's thesis there was used the method of qualitative research. The data was collected using semi-structured interviews with eight social workers of the LTFCY in the Vysočina region. Main goal of this thesis was to find out what activities provided by the LTFCY are the most wanted by their clients, what institutions do they usually collaborate, and what difficulties do those social workers encounter with while creating the user's individual plan. The research questions were focused on activities of the LTFCY defined by the law and also on how the users learn about the LTFCY and on the difficulties that might the social worker meet while creating the individual plan for the client. Thanks to the interviews provided by the social workers working in the LTFCY it was possible to identify the pitfalls appearing in the individual planning with children and youth endangered by unfavorable social situation. Also, the finding of how the activities defined in the Social Services Act No. 108/2006 Coll. reflect in the goals set by the clients is very interesting. This thesis might be helpful to social workers working in the LTFCY environment and workers who create internal rules, methodology, and so on, for this kind of facilities.

Individual planning with people addicted to drugs in the contact center
FIALOVÁ, Barbora
The topic of this bachelorthesis is individual planning with people who are addicted to addictive substances. The main objective is to compare process of individual planning in different contact centers in the Vysočina region. The partial aim is to find out which theoretical starting points are being used in the contact centers for individual planning with addicted clients. This thesis could help widen public awareness of the contact centers and services they offer. It could also be interesting for social workers themselves, who might find some inspiration by the concept of individual planning in other contact centers. The theoretical part of the thesis is devoted, among other topics, to a description of a social worker, low-threshold facilities, contact centers and individual planning. This part also pays attention to addictive substances. The practical part of the thesis is elaborated through semi-structured interviews with six contact center workers, while these workers were selected by the method of deliberate selection. Questionnaires are structured in order to help answer the main research questions. This part also includes a comparison of individual planning with addicted clients amongworkers from different contact centers in the Vysočina Region. Based on the interviews that were processed, it was found that the number of clients per one worker differs significantly (sometimes up to twice). This is an important factor in terms of administration, which is described by almost all communication partners as an obstacle to individual planning. The research also showed that none of the communication partners uses a specific approach when working with clients. From my point of view, the surprising finding was mainly the evaluation of individual planning (mostly communication partners) as a burden while working with clients.

The adaptation process in the Home for the eldery in the street Rybniční Strakonice.
VALEŠOVÁ, Olga
The dissertation is focused on the adaptation process in a certain Retirement home in Strakonice. The old age is the last evolution period of one´s life and the society should do its best to enable the people to spend this time in harmony, with sense of peace and joy. Nowadays, a pensioner is forced to think of the options provided by social services/social care in case that the health status doesn´t allow him to take care of himself sufficiently and independently or is not able to assure such care through his family. Then a long stay service in a retirement home seems to be an appropriate possibility. Joining such facility is usually considered as one of the most difficult situations that a retiree can meet with. It brings various risks as environment change with no knowledge of the area or people; it represents the loss or limitation of one´s autonomy, habits and privacy etc. A pensioner should properly consider this situation with his family, get ready for it and voluntarily decide to join an retirement home. The objective of my dissertation is to analyse the factors that influence the adaptation of retired people in the Retirement Home Rybniční, Strakonice. In the empirical part, there has been used the method of qualitative research and technics of demi structured dialogue for data collection. The research file has been chosen by the method of contingent defined selection. The own survey has been performed on a selected sample of retirees who complied with the given contingent conditions. The research showed that the arrival to the home for the elderly people is subject to poor health and inadequate housing situation, which represents a barrier to the environment for seniors.To answer the main research questions: What factors affect the adaptation process in the Retirement Home Rybniční, Strakonice? I can state, that the factors such as the home, the saturation of the needs, social contacts with family, friends and other users and active leisure more or less influence the seniors. The research results also pointed out the importance of self-sufficiency, which is affected by the health condition on one hand. On the other hand seniors are driven not only by the mission of Retirement Home Rybniční, but also by their own initiative to maintain the greatest possible degree of autonomy and self-sufficiency. The health status and the rate of self-sufficiency have a great impact on the process of adaptation and affect the individual factors of adaptation. This work should highlight the importance of the adaptation process of the seniors in the home for the elderly, which is not possible to underestimate. Furthermore, it should highlight the need for cooperation of the staff with the family, the importance of communication, environment, needs saturation and activities that can help to overcome this tough life step. Findings and conclusions of the thesis will be used as a feedback for the institution, where the research was carried out.
