The lifestyle of homeless people in the area of České Budějovice
KRÁLOVÁ, Inka
The life style of the homeless in České Budějovice is varied, and these people do not take homelessness their own life style. The most common cause of homelessness is disagreement between parents, even if the majority passed their childhood within the properly functioning family. In most of cases, the men are single, without a partner. Over a half of the homeless people in České Budějovice are healthy, and they regard health important. The majority of them do not use health services and they do not pay the health insurance. Over a half do not get financial means by means of their own work, which means that they either draw employment benefits, material shortage benefits, or they go begging. As against this, the majority is looking for a job, do occasional work or are registered unemployed at the job centre. The unemployed in St. Paul{\crq}s House have their own meals and they keep to the regular drinking regime. People living outdoor eat of what they cadge or what they get from people in streets. In the category of those addicted it ensued that the dependence on cigarettes of the homeless is a more frequent phenomenon than on alcohol. Over a half of the homeless people in České Budějovice use the sanitary facility in St. Paul{\crq}s House. People living outdoor do their hygiene in the river, mostly. In their free time, over a half of the homeless go in for their jobs or seeking for a job. In the evening people attending St. Paul{\crq}s House watch TV, and people living outdoor drink alcohol and relax. Over a half of the homeless have a regular daily routine. Most of the homeless is not concerned in what is happening around. Over a half of the homeless people do not anything about being homeless, they are unsatisfied with their life situation, they perceive it to be wrong, serious, and therefore to be changed. As for the values, they consider health the most important value, while the least important one for them is their own housing. The primary idea of this Diploma Thesis is to make both lay and professional public acquainted, and help to increase awareness of the said problem.

The diploma theses will be about the problematics of "beggary" and his relationship to various forms of criminality, homelessness and drug addiction. Baggary can be concieved as a certain work substitute, which is apriori executed because of gain. My goal is to make analyses of posssible overlap between beggars and persons receiving social security benefits. Findings of services for reintegration of baggers to the labour market will be included. I will use a method to available statistic data comparision with own empirical observation. The observation was made during my short term attachment at Občanské sdružení Naděje Praha with the help of their employees. Aim of this work is analyses of contemporary labour policy arrangement. Theoretical basis of the thesis will be comparison of main stream economics with austrian school (Hezlit, Rothbard, Mises).

Subjective perception of the supply of social services for the homeless people by this target group in selected regions of the Czech and Slovak Republics
BENDOVÁ, Kateřina
This Bachelor Thesis deals with subjective perception of the offer of social services for the homeless by this social group in selected regions of the Czech and the Slovak Republics. The theoretical part deals with the characteristics both of the people without shelter and of the whole phenomenon of homelessness. The work lists the individual types of social services for homeless people and describes the facilities operating at the territory of the cities of Havířov and Žilina. The practical part was implemented at the territory of two cities, Havířov and Žilina. The aim of the practical part was to identify the offer of social services for the homeless by this social group in Havířov and Žilina. I tried to reach the set goal by means of qualitative research, questioning method. The target sample consisted of people without shelter and by social workers. The technique of semi structured interview consisting of 11 open questions was used for the homeless people. For the social workers I hose the technique of non-structured interview. The research results show that homeless people do not have sufficient information on the services being offered. Sanctuary houses/dosshouses were the mostly used services. Lack of funds is the reason for not using social services. There are differences between Havířov and Žilina both in the offer and in the use of social services for people without shelter. The homeless people said they did not lack any service. The information obtained from the respondents may be provided to organizations dealing with the homeless people. The interviews with the people without shelter might help them in seeking for assistance. The thesis may be used as input for further research and as educational material.

Homeless from the view of the Czech Republic Policy
PECKOVÁ, Petra
This bachelor thesis deals with the complicated issue of homeless people, their mutual relationship with the Police of Czech Republic from the perspective of police officers who are with the homeless people in a daily contact.Bachelor thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and empirical. Theoretical part formulates homelessness and sets out the factors that cause homelessness. Further it discusses the organizations and government bodies involved in this issue. Finally it deals with the situations in which police officers and homeless people come into contact with each other often. Empirical part that follows the theoretical part, constitutes a research. This section describes the assumptions and goals, as well as the research methods, research set and the results. In the conclusion of the bachlelor thesis there is a discussion that isdedicated to the found research results with the subsequent confirmation of the working hypothesis: the "basic expert training" of the police schools does not prepare the police officers sufficiently for the work with homeless people in theory and they get all their knowledge from practice, during the working process. On the contrary, the performed research contradicts the working hypothesis that the relationship between the Police and the homeless people is bad from the perspective of the police officers.

Attitudes of pupils of primary schools towards selected minorities.
ŠPIČKOVÁ, Hana
This bachelor thesis theoretically and practically examines the attitudes of pupils in the 7th and 8th grades of basic schools to selected minorities (the marginalized minority of the homeless, homosexuals, EMO subculture and religious minority of the Satanists). The theoretical part of this bachelor thesis deals with definitions of attitudes, prejudices and stereotypes. We have further characterized the early adolescence, which provides basic information about the developmental stage of the respondents in the target group. The most extensive part of the theoretical part contains information about the selected minorities. Basic terms were explained for each of the minorities and it was described how many members of those minorities there are in the Czech society. Further, for most minorities we have described the development of attitudes of the society to them. One exception is the EMO subculture for which it is impossible to map the development of attitudes as for this group no relevant investigations were conducted which would make it possible to describe the development. The objective of this bachelor thesis to map attitudes of pupils in the 7th and 8th grades of basic schools to the selected minorities (the marginalized minority of the homeless, homosexuals, EMO subculture and religious minority of the Satanists) in the Czech Republic (on a sample in the district of Žďár nad Sázavou), with differentiation based on the sex of the respondents. Before conducting the research three hypotheses were formulated and subsequently confirmed. Hypothesis No. 1: Boys and girls in the researched sample group demonstrate a higher sympathy for the homeless compared to the other selected groups. Hypothesis No. 2: More than 50 % of the girls in the researched sample group demonstrate a positive attitude to the homosexuals. Hypothesis No. 3: More than 50 % of the girls in the researched sample group demonstrate a positive attitude to the EMO subculture. All the established hypotheses we have been confirmed for the selected sample group. The research has been conducted using a quantitative technique, through interviewing by means of my own questionnaire, based on a presentation of illustrative photos. The questionnaire was anonymous and it was completely filled out by 104 respondents. The research was complemented with 6 interviews with selected respondents to map their attitudes. The contribution of this work consists in the mapping of the actual attitudes of the respondents to the mentioned minorities. Results of the work could be used as a feedback for the professional and interested general public. The thesis may also serve as an input for workshops with children at selected basic schools, to deepen their knowledge about the concerned minorities.

Information in the social sphere for the citizens jeopardized by a social exclusion
FICHTNEROVÁ, Eva
The research of my bachelor work was focused on the issue how much are information necessary and interesting for the people jeopardized by a social exclusion, if they properly get to them and if they have the right form. There is a lot of information in the social sphere and they are important for all of us. From the questionnaires I gave to the people in the sanctuary House of St. Paul and in the streets of České Budějovice I received many answers significant for the knowledge of our community and for my job in public relations with Městská charita České Budějovice (a charitable non-governmental organization). In theoretical part of my work I described general causes and specific problems associated with the life of the excluded citizens, especially their difficulties with the employment, health state, problems with information and communication barriers with organizations and institutions, examples of their excluded or homeless life, possibilities how to return to the common life. In relation to the social services I stated some fundamental legislature. In the practical part I concentrated on the question of a passing and preferred forms of information among them. Answers I got brought me to improvements even in my job (for example a better marking to the sanctuary house from the railway station, maps on the web sites with a marking of the way and the bus stop, more brochures with information in the railway station). I learned that homeless people would be very glad to obtain some knowledge in the field of information technologies and I recommended Internet courses for them. I realized, that all the people living in the street, are interested in information and the most essential way, how to provide information to them, is a street-work.

LANGEROVÁ, Lucie
The homelessness phenomenon is extreme exposure of indigence and social preclusion. Much of world has been fighting with this problem for many years and our society is not exception. Also in our country the subjects exist which are becoming either volunteer or under the pressure of circumstances socially outcasted. It is livehood of individuals without home who are not able to solve their situation adequately without assistance of others. Hence they search various forms of social remedy. The term homelessness denotes summation of dealings and actions, causes and consequences which leads to loss of upcountry (home), life surenesses or more precisely to social preclusion. In my thesis I tried to zoom homelessness problems without prejudice and to find out public opinion on this. It should serve as basis for further research in this scope and increase the degree of awareness about the homelessness problems.
