The issue of advance maintenance
VLČKOVÁ, Věra
The issue of advanced alimony has been a much-discussed issue in the Czech Republic for more 15 years. The main goal of my thesis is to find out what impact the new noninsurance social benefit replacement alimony will have on recipients and and evaluation of actual alimony enforcement tools. In the theoretical part I deal with the delimitation of key concepts that serve to orient and grasp this social benefit. Within the framework of my research I deal with issues of the need to draw benefits from the system of state social support, the effectiveness of the announced offered assistance of the state, the payout agenda assessing the effectiveness of already existing enforcement tools. Due to the nature I chose qualitative research. A comparative method based on the analysis of data collection was used in the work, where the method of questioning and the semistructural interview technique were used to obtain outputs. The research sample was selected using a combination of contrast method and intentional selection in an ultimate number of 8 communication partners. The obtained data was processed by coding into categories. Research analysis shows that these communication partners welcome the idea of the adopted law and are going to claim this benefits. However, the effectiveness of this benefit fades into background as the duration of this benefit payment is limited to a period of two years. Aid set up in this way is a short-term solution and it is not a way out for the future. The vision of this social benefit, which will take effect on July 1st, 2021, already now shows shortcomings. Especially that it is not intended only for dependent children living in a very low-income families. This is an untested benefit and at the same time the child's income which will be included in the family's decisive income for the assessment of other claimed benefits which it may reduce. A targeted benefit for these families would be more effective and efficient than the aid announced this way. Current instruments of alimony enforcement have proven to be inefficient. Nor will the state be in a better position to recover these claims.

Initiative Food Not Bombs in Relation to Homeless People
ČESKÁ, Jana
This bachelor's thesis is focused on the initiative Food Not Bombs and its relation to homeless people. The aim of the work was to describe the inner workings of the Food Not Bombs initiative in the Czech Republic and to reflect on the activists in contact with homeless people. Food Not Bombs is a global initiative highlighting inequalities in society through free food distribution. The theoretical part defines the basic concepts related to homelessness, including social services, approaches to social work with this demographic and the current state of affairs. Furthermore, the history of the initiative Food Not Bombs, its operational principles and follow-up activities are presented. The empirical part of the work contains research using the qualitative research strategy and questioning method. Data collection was performed using a semi-structured interviews. The research group consists of eleven informants from the eight cities in the Czech Republic in which the groups operate. The obtained data was converted into text form and subsequently analyzed using open coding and categorization. Based on this analysis, research questions were answered. They aimed to identify differences in the activities of individual teams and how activists perceive homeless people. Several differences were identified between groups from different cities. However, these were not fundamental differences and it can be concluded that the groups agree more than not. Activists perceive the homeless as excluded from society and suffering from material deprivation, often due to the unfair distribution of resources. They endeavor to perceive homelessness as a problem without blaming individual people for it. The groups are characterized by giving equal access to the hungry and striving to help and support everyone without distinction. The work may serve to raise awareness of the initiative's activities and contribute to changing the passive or negative public attitude towards the homeless.
