Kubíková, Marie ; Janský, Petr (advisor) ; Břízová, Pavla (referee)
The thesis aims at quantifying the potential fiscal gains of an extra investment into Roma education. From the budgetary point of view, it would pay off to invest extra money into Roma children, if it increased future net contributions to the budget. The extra investment into one child could take values up to the average discounted value of future net benefits per person. The net benefits represent the increased net contributions due to a higher level of education. The contribution of the thesis is the estimation of different net contributions of Roma with various educational levels to the national budget in order to encourage the investment into Roma children. Secondly, we estimated the yearly loss of the national budget due to lower education among the Roma. And thirdly, we conducted a survey among the clients of the endowment fund Verda to find the relationship between their education, employment status and other variables.

The use of the theory of social work at work with the Roma minority
STAHLOVÁ, Zuzana
The aim of this study is to explore whether social workers use theoretical concepts while working with the Roma minority. The research used a qualitative research method. Data collection was performed using of intentional (purposeful) selection. Qualitative data were obtained by interview with using the instructions. The research group was selected from a group of social workers assigned by the target group with which they work. This group consists of six social workers who work primarily with the Roma minority in southern Bohemia. To achieve this objective we established research question: Do the social worker use theoretical concepts while working with the Roma minority? If so, what and how, if not, what they use instead? Data were analyzed using cluster method. This method is used to group certain statements in groups, according to the resolution of certain issues. The results implies that only half of the communication partners uses a theoretical approaches. From the discussions it is clear that only two of them are using them consciously. They most frequently use tasks oriented approach and client-oriented approach. One communication partner even mentioned anti-discriminating approach. Most social workers agreed that they use their own judgment in their work. Self judgment is meant empathy, intuitiveness and more. Furthermore, communication partners mentioned findings, which can be used. It is very important to have mutual trust when working with the Roma minority. Academic teaching Romani would also be good to facilitate communication between the social worker and the target group. It would also be appropriate to concentrate knowledge about social work with the Roma minority into one comprehensive publication. This thesis can serve as a basis for further elaboration of this theme.

The Roma minority by view of Vimperk's majority
MISTROVÁ, Jaroslava
Romanies are the most numerous ethnic minority in the Czech Republic. The Romany minority is very often connected with the problem of social exclusion. Excluded Romanies have got a lower level of education, high unemployment, high criminality, a worse state of health, a shorter average length of life, a low level of eating and housing. The majority socially dissociates themselvesfrom them. The bachelor´s thesis titled The Romany Minority in Vimperk from the Point of View of the Majority is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part deals with social exclusion, describes Romanies, sub-ethnic groups of Romanies and their origin. It also describes the current situation of Romanies in the Czech Republic and in the town of Vimperk based on the data obtained from the Czech statistical office. The next chapters address selected social problems of Romanies and the related problem of discrimination. They namely focus on the topic of housing, unemployment, and education. Discrimination can usually be understood as differentiation or as a different approach to groups of people of certain age, gender, racial or ethnic origin; to people adhering to a specific culture and religion, or to groups which have got a specific disadvantage, alternatively a marginal social position; and who differ in this characteristic from other people. The last chapter deals with selected socially pathological phenomena concerning the Romany minority, such as criminality, gambling, drugs, and prostitution. The goal of this thesis is to chart the view of the majority inhabitants on the Romany minority in the town of Vimperk using the concept of social distance. Furthermore, its aim is to find out the cause of the negative view using quantitative research. The quantitative research was conducted through the method of questioning - the technique of standardized questionnaire. Two research questions have been determined for the purpose of thethesis: VO 1: What is the social distance of the majority against the Romany minority in Vimperk? VO 2: What are the sources of the negative view of the majority on the Romany minority in Vimperk? Following hypotheses were set based on the research questions: H1a: The social distance towards the Romany minority is growing with age. H1b: The social distance towards the Romany minority is higher in case of men than women. H1c: The social distance to the Romany minority is decreasing with higher education of the majority. H1d: The people who experienced a direct conflict with the Romanies evince higher rate of social distance compared to the people who have not experiences any direct conflict. The whole aggregate includes 133 majority inhabitants who live in the town of Vimperk from the age of 18 over 65 years of age. The obtained data have been processed through descriptive statistics in the programme Excel and set hypotheses have been evaluated statistically in the programme SPSS. The results have shown that the social distance of the majority inhabitants against the Romany minority in the town of Vimperk is not significantly influenced by gender, age, or education. The majority society dissociate themselves the most from the Romany minority in the relation of near kinship through marriage and a near friend, according to Bogardus´s scale of social distance. The Bogardus´s social distance scale is most often used to measure racism and other ethnic prejudice. It is a scale which consists of statements that are supposed to show what social distances feel the respondents among themselves and other groups. Among the most common problems connected to the Romany minority in the town of Vimperk is the disturbance of the peace at night, criminality, prostitution, drugs, and gambling. Other problems which appear in connection to the Romanies is unemployment, venereal diseases, maladjusted behaviour in the society, and polluting the town.

BŘEČKOVÁ, Gabriela
This diploma thesis is focused on identifying the image of excluded localities in media discourse. During the recent few years, the media have been forming the views of the majority population of the Roma minority, while the concept of social exclusion in the Czech Republic has been used most often in relation to the localities inhabited mostly by the members of the Roma minority. Excluded localities have become a very hot topic in the media and the media have been presenting excluded localities as problematic in terms of unemployment, poverty, maximum use of social welfare by their inhabitants, housing problems, crime, organized crime, disorder and problems with school attendance of the children.
