Psychosocial counselling for the participants of traffic accidents in České Budějovice
UHŘÍČEK, Jan
This dissertation focuses on the field of psychosocial counselling intended for the people involved in traffic accidents. Traffic accidents often result in considerable whole-society damages and significant reduction in the life quality of affected individuals or their relatives. Traffic accidents may often represent nerve-racking, traumatic events which significantly go beyond the scope of common human experience. People involved in traffic accidents may suffer from mental problems which might impair an area of their social functioning. As a result, traffic accidents have significant impact not only to the lives of persons directly involved, but also to their relatives. Victims´ self-help may fail and, without the expert intervention, may lead to the whole-life misery. One of possible ways of how to help the people involved in the traffic accident is the psychosocial counselling which is the subject of this dissertation. This thesis, among others, aims to analyse the offer of psychosocial consulting services intended for traffic accident participants in the town of České Budějovice. To this end, the combination of qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques, questionnaire survey of experts and organizations and semi-standardized interviews with experts operating in České Budějovice were carried out. Other goals of the thesis included mapping of public awareness concerning the possible utilization of psychosocial counselling for traffic accident participants in České Budějovice, as well as, mapping the interest in using such services on the public{\crq}s part in this town. A public questionnaire survey was performed to reach these objectives. The findings revealed that there is a public demand for services of an organization providing the people involved in traffic accidents with psychosocial counselling. The public awareness of the possibility of using psychosocial counselling in this area, however, proved to be low in České Budějovice. The survey has also shown that the offer of psychosocial counselling focused on traffic accident participants does exist in this town. The dissertation may contribute to higher awareness of not only the professional employees who provide the assistance (psychologists, social workers, non-profit organization employees, physicians, police officers, fire fighters), students of humanities and volunteers involved in giving psychosocial assistance to the victims of disasters, but also of those people involved in traffic accidents whom anyone of us may become.

Legal and health and social aspects of traffic accidents from the injured party{\crq}s perspektive.
ŠŤÁRAL, Jiří
This paper deals with the problems of aggrieved persons who have suffered property or health damage in relation with road accidents. The paper lists two options that an aggrieved participant of a road accident may use to require the compensation of incurred damage. The objective of the paper is to map and explain the issue of road accidents in view of legal, health and social aspects as seen by the aggrieved persons to be used for general educational purposes. The research utilizes the method of a secondary and content data analysis using criminal files of the Czech Police, the District Office in České Budějovice. The analysis processed individual injuries with the duration of treatment of the injured participants as compared to usual duration of treatment in light of forensic medicine. The data of individual aggrieved persons were processed and it was studied whether they joined criminal prosecution in order to require the compensation of incurred damage. The research analysis resulted in the finding that, out of a total number of 652 aggrieved persons under examination, 290 persons joined criminal prosecution and 362 persons did not. Another part of the research examining injured persons (256 aggrieved persons) showed that their actual duration of treatment matched the usual duration in seven cases only. Duration shorter than usual was found in 50 cases. Duration longer than usual was found in 199 cases. The results of this paper can be used as instruction to facilitate orientation in this issue for e.g. road accident participants or aggrieved persons of other criminal acts.

An accident is not an accident
FRÖSTLOVÁ, Gabriela
The present bachelor thesis, entitled ``Accident is not Incident{\crqq}, focuses on traffic accidents. The said theme represents a hotly debated issue. Every day, newspapers and other media inform us of accidents that occur on roads. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the characteristics of traffic accidents, together with their causes, risk factors, and consequences; the last chapter discusses the prevention of traffic accidents. Accordingly, the practical part analyzes a research that was aimed at randomly selected drivers. The objective of the present thesis is twofold. First, the thesis attempts to map the driver{\crq}s behavior in the districts of České Budějovice and Český Krumlov. Second, its aim is to ascertain to what extent tiredness influences drivers. The practical part utilizes two techniques to examine the given hypotheses: the secondary analysis of statistic data and questionnaire research. The basic analyzed group consisted of 132 respondents, i.e. randomly selected drivers from the districts of České Budějovice and Český Krumlov. Hypothesis No. 1 asserting that drivers under 25 years of age cause more traffic accidents than drivers aged over 25 has been refuted on the basis of the research. Hypothesis No. 2 claiming that the driver{\crq}s tiredness increases a risk of traffic accident has been confirmed by the research. Respondents{\crq} tiredness most often led to the decrease in their attentiveness. The research verified that inattentiveness on the part of drivers is the most common cause of traffic accidents. In conclusion, I am of the opinion that safety driving courses should be made more accessible for drivers. The present thesis could be utilized as educational material at basic or secondary schools or for trainee drivers.

Behaviour of Drivers on the Roads and Efficiency of Preventative Actions Focused on Traffic Participants.
VEČLOVÁ, Jana
The bachelor thesis is focused on troubled behaviour on the roads, or behaviour of drivers on the roads. In the theoretical part, drivers´ behaviour and most frequent offenses are described, as well as other road users. Traffic accidents and their most frequent causes, proved by the statistics of Police of the Czech Republic, are also mentioned in this part. Last but not least, there are the chapters devoted to accidents and inappropriate behaviour prevention. The traffic preventive actions are designated not only for drivers, but also for children, who are road users as well and, sadly, frequent participants in traffic accidents. Thus, in the last chapter I focus on description of traffic education from the perspective of an elementary school experience. In the practical part I asked drivers both about the traffic preventive actions and the traffic situation on the roads from their subjective point of view. To be more specific, I asked about what influences their attention, the way they perceive current situation and whether they would like to change anything or not.
