Homeless people create a specific subculture in our society. It's a matter of a negative phenomenon of which the society has a poor opinion coming often from a lack of information. There is a lot of ways helping to find solutions to this problem, in these days. First of all, in this bachelor's work, the terms of the subject are clarified, as well as the history and the general characteristics of homelessness. This work contains the current legislation and some chosen statistics indicators. It proposes possible solutions of homelessness in the Czech Republic, especially in the capital.

The branch of the Salvation Army named Centre of Social Services of Bohuslav Bures is presented here. It is the place, where my practical quest was done. The purpose of this quest was to figure out if the social and residential services of the Centre of Social Services of Bohuslav Bures are sufficient to allow their adepts to integrate completely to the ordinary society. The information is provided from the users of the asylum themselves. The investigation covers up the services of the centre that should respond to the real needs of its users. The chosen situations of particular people from my quest were considered from an angle of a larger scale of time. Questions were based on the indicators of the past, the present and the future. In order to get information I chose the method of qualified approach and the study of particular cases. A partly structured dialogue was the main technique in which seven clients engaged. We first defined the problem to deal with. It was the effectiveness and the influence of provided services in the asylum. Then we specified the main question and other partial questions of the inquiry. Obtained data was noted, analysed and interpreted in order to provide an answer to the questions of the inquiry. The practical part carries a record of a dialogue with one of the social workers of the Salvation Army Centre of Social Services of Bohuslav Bures provided for my quest as a part of it.

ZLATUŠKOVÁ, Vendula
The thesis topic ?Social exclusion among the homeless and its subsequent impact on health" provides the deeper understanding of the problematic regarding homeless people who are without family/social connections and often suffer from lack of social and health care. The theoretical part of the thesis called ?Current Status? elaborates on the study of the fundamental ideas and concepts In addition the thesis defines the objective and subjective factors of homelessness, health problematic and its determinants, trying to provide an insight into somatic and psychological complications, which are linked to the system of health care provided towards the homeless people. The aim was to detect and define the elements of social exclusion among the homeless and find their conditionality in relation to subjective health perception Basic data for the research were based on the following research questions: V1: What causes played a significant role in respondents becoming homeless? V2: How homeless people evaluate their current health? V3: How the homeless people perceive assistance to improve their situation? The subject of research part is the link between environmental (social) situation of selected group of people and their subjectively perceived health status. To determine the necessary data the qualitative method, semi-controlled interview technique supplemented by observation were used. The research was conducted in the St. Pauls shelter in České Budejovice. The interviews were done with 10 respondents and the results of the research are summarized in form of case studies divided into categories and presented according to the similarities/differences in the respondent?s claims. This work can be used as a basis for further research to quantify the social determinants of health associated with homelessness. I, together with the social worker of the St. Paul shelter, perceive lack of linking health and social services for the homeless. This issue should be further strengthened, so that eventually could be used to influence public policy in shaping the environment affecting our health.

Alternative lifestyle option as being satisfied
BENDOVÁ, Kateřina
The topic of this diploma thesis is Alternative lifestyle as a form of content human existence. This thesis is focused on specification of subculture and I defined the subculture of homeless people, which as I assumed and also as my own research data showed, can demonstrate the content form of human existence. The theoretical part of this thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter constitutes a theoretical scope of this thesis where I put emphasis on social norms and theory of social deviation, which are crucial for homeless people who are demonstrating alternative lifestyle which is significantly different from the lifestyle of mainstream conformist society. Second chapter describes characteristics of homelessness. The third chapter includes procedure of help to homeless people in their life situation. There are also stated social services for homeless people. The last chapter is focused on the alternative lifestyle. I also deal with the topic of voluntary homelessness. The aim of this diploma thesis is description of aspects of lifestyle of the observed subculture of homeless people. The target group consists of 20 homeless people in age from 18 to 70 years. A method of qualitative approach was applied and a method of analysis of case studies was used for data collection. The main technique of data collection was an interview with directions which I used with 10 homeless people who were in asylum house and with 10 homeless people who were present directly at the public areas. In the context of this thesis five research questions were determined. The primary data was coded/indexed and then processed with the framework analysis according to Ritchie and Spencer. The outcomes of the research showed that the most frequent reason for the origin of homelessness is alcohol addiction. Most frequently it is related to single or divorced man and women. The daily regime of homeless people is from a greater half regular. Among the most frequent daily activities in the asylum house can be mentioned watching television, cleaning common areas of the asylum house, fixed activities and drinking coffee. The outdoor activities mostly constitute of collection of metal, cooking, shopping for food and searching the garbage bins. They usually spend winter nights in facilities of social services (doss house, asylum house), in a tent, in makeshift shanties, or in a squat. Most people spend their days with their friends or partners. People who live in public areas are more willing to make some extra money. There was three times higher experience with begging of the people who live in public areas than people who live in asylum houses. People in asylum houses usually pay for day board meals. People who live outside in public areas procure their food in supermarkets, day centres and doss houses and in garbage bins. For homeless people nicotine addiction is more frequent than alcohol addiction. They perform their personal hygiene in the facilities of social services (day centre, doss house, asylum house). They usually get their clothes from social or asylum clothes supplies. They do not live in relationships with partners however people who live in the public areas have more sexual contacts. More than half of respondents do not think about their future. People who live in asylum houses are more satisfied with their life situation, nevertheless more than half of respondents would like to change their life situation. On basis of the results of this research theoretical concepts were induced.
