SAROVÁ, Klára
The goal of this thesis is to find out how elderly people live their lives in village, how are their intergenerational relationships with family, friends, but also in which way they spend their leisure time, how they take care of themselves and which social services they use. Theoretical part introduces readers to concepts like old age, aging, periodization of old age, the question of housing and intergenerational cohabitation. Empiric part focuses on seniors older than 70 years living in small village. They have been defined two research questions. How seniors of age 70+ live in small village in home environment? With which problems are seniors struggling in selected parts of life? These established questions helped me to achieve the goal. To achieve established research goal, the questioning method has been used within qualitative strategy. Semi-structured interview has been based on pre-prepared questions, which could be extended. Research group consisted of 4 seniors in the same ratio of women to men. For purpose of research they have to meet 2 criteria; age and residence in home environment in small village. Research group has been selected based on purposeful selection and took place in the village in the district of Plzeň-jih. From the research results emerged satisfaction of seniors with living in village. Seniors do not feel deprived by in material or spiritual area. They are aware of knowing that some things, which they feel sorry about or they perceive as a problem, they could influence to a large extent by their own activity. They realize, that there is always some way. From the research emerged a fact, that some social services could be more suited for seniors in the village, for example in transportation. Each one could turn to family for help, but half of them are independent and they organize many things even in their advanced age. This should be considered in their age as admirable. We could ascribe it to improvement of lifestyle and also to their better social position in the society, when seniors are no more set aside to the edge of society and excluded. Content of this bachelor thesis could be especially benefit for social workers, who pursue this area. It could interest even the general public including nurses, workers in social services, families caring for their parents etc. It could serve for those, who are interested in problematic of seniors and do not know the rural environment.
