Homelessness in the Czech republic: Present and future possibilities of reintegration for homeless people
Kostelecká, Karolína ; Prachař, Ondřej (advisor) ; Sunega, Petr (referee)
This Bachelor Thesis is focused on the possibilities of reintegration for homeless people and the government's approach to the homelessness issue. Analysis of the current possibilities of reintegration brings results that support for homeless is provided mainly by non profit-making organizations, eg. Naděje, Nový prostor or Armáda spásy. Homeless people have an opportunity to use the services of shelters. They can achieve earnings as workers in the social firms, community work, or sheltered employment. Based on the comparison of the newly introduced Strategy for Preventing and Tackling Homelessness in the Czech Republic by 2020 with the approach to the homelessness issue in Finland and Canada this thesis recommends especially to target measures to the most affected areas of homelessness and to reassess financing. Comparison of selected countries brings the finding that Canada has the highest proportion of homeless people in the total population and Finland has the largest expenditures on homelessness issue.

Homelessness from the perspective of social work
NETOPILOVÁ, Lenka
The bachelor thesis homelessness from the social work point of view focused on the problem of homelessness in small towns. Homelessness is one of the negative phenomena of society. Currently, this phenomenon has been coming to the forefront and has become a more important problem. It is a lifestyle characteristic for the towns but this phenomenon can occur in small municipalities as well. The subject of this work was to find out how the mayors of small towns cope with homelessness and how it is possible to help people without shelter. In theoretical part I focused on setting the basic terms regarding the homelessness phenomenon. I mainly focused of the definitions of people without shelter, the homelessness phenomenon, typology and the reasons for homelessness and social exclusion as well. The description of social work with people without shelter and social work given to them is also included in this part. Further, it describes the development of legislation and regulations regarding homelessness. Practical part used qualitative research of inquiries and the technique of interviews according to manual to get answers to researched questions. I was granted 10 interviews with mayors in the districts of Přerov and Český Krumlov all together, five interviews with mayors in each district. The interviews took place at the end of January and the beginning of February 2012. The objective of bachelor thesis was to find out how the small towns deal with this problematic and what kind of provisions proved to work when solving the problem of homelessness in their municipality. The results of research show that the mayors have knowledge of the homelessness phenomenon and some of them have personal experience with it. Further, the results show that mayor would be able to deal with this phenomenon but they sated that none of the provisions worked in practical life to help people without shelter to get out of their difficult life situation. Bachelor thesis and its results can be a source of information for broad public and professionals as well as the students of health social faculty in České Budějovice learning social work.
