Social dimensions of architectural projects of Milada Petrikova-Pavlikova
Žižková, Barbora ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Biegel, Richard (referee)
The aim of this bachelor's work is to evaluate the contribution of architect Mrs. Milada Petříková-Pavlíková at the field of social engineering in connection with construction activities of the Czech women's movement. Mrs. Petříková was in close relationship to female's problems. She grew up in a time when the women's movement was on the rise and a major battle was brewing for the right to vote. Also, her aunts, Anna and Albina Honzáková - Movement activists, were certainly examples to follow for Petříková too. I also tried to discuss the wider historical circumcises and introduce some related topics - by the example of four buildings realized between years 1922-1950 - the Social Policy of the First Republic and the social activities of charitable organizations (often led by women), women's club as the first Czech association and ŽKČ building as a symbol and proof of the victory of feminist efforts and finally the relationship of pedagogical theory and contemporary architecture, kindergartens and nursery development as a construction type. I have tried to juxtapose, in the end of my bachelor work, the social architecture as a phenomenon and a major topic of contemporary architectural considerations and practices, and social architecture initiated by the women's movement or his representative.

Transformation of social policy in Czech lands after 1945 on the example of the emergence and adoption of the law on combating alcoholism
Seifertová, Tereza ; Kocian, Jiří (advisor) ; Kučera, Jaroslav (referee)
The presented work deals with the changes in social policy in Czechoslovakia after World War II. These changes have been illustrated on the specific example of the Law on Combating Alcoholism. The aim of this thesis was to broaden the knowledge of how the problem of alcoholism in Czech society after 1945 was perceived, monitored and assessed. It also assesses the ways to eliminate this negative phenomenon by state institutions and other organizations. The period described in the study is from May 1945 to April 1948, when the Law no. 87/1948 Coll., on the fight against alcoholism, was passed. The hypothesis - which was confirmed - was that the state's effort to ensure better care for citizens was demonstrated by institutionalization of the fight against alcoholism and by associated greater intrusion into personal rights. The thesis is divided into four chapters, the first chapter describes the perception of alcoholism in the context of the post-war socio-political situation in Czechoslovakia, the second chapter is dedicated to initiatives and single particular individual resolutions that led to the draft law on combating alcoholism. The third chapter analyses the law itself and the final, fourth chapter deals with other activities that have been kept in the fight against alcoholism. The study is...

The Role of Media and Narratives in the Policy Process: Narrative Policy Framework Perspective
Tchaou, Dominica ; Novotný, Vilém (advisor) ; Čampulková, Jitka (referee)
The public policy scholarship says that media interract with the policy process in multiple ways. First of all, they offer various policy preferences. At the same time, they attach meanings to different policy events. This matters when it comes to the audience and its perception of chosen public issues. The media might also become an active participant in the policy debate and transmit their policy beliefs and policy preferences within this debate. The Narrative Policy framework brings these findings together with focus on the important role of policy narratives in the policy process. This master's thesis focuses on the case of family policy measurement adaptation in the Czech republic. The focus lies particularly on the government bill that has increased the parental allowance in 2019. This change has provoked a significant interest of the public and of the media, which were making their statements. The aim of this paper is to explore the form and content of the policy narrative and to say whether the media accounts have actively participated in the policy debates to possibly influence the policy outcome.

The issue of state social support benefits.
Stárová, Veronika ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Vlčková, Kamila (referee)
The topic of the diploma thesis is the issue of state social support benefits. The aim is to find out the current state of abuse of state social support benefits and identify their shortcomings. The topic is examined from the perspective of the theory of social construction of target populations and the theory of street-level bureaucrats. The work examines the construction of recipients of SSS benefits in both media and political discourse. Qualitative research was used to achieve the goal of the work, in the form of semi-structured interviews with street-level bureaucrats and document analysis. In order to obtain information on the construction of recipients of SSS benefits, articles in online and print media and stenographic records from the meetings of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic were analysed. I consider the finding that the recipients of SSS benefits are not perceived as a homogeneous group and are constructed according to the individual benefits they receive to be the main results of the work. Furthermore, forms of abuse of SSS benefits were identified, which are distinguished into fraudulent practices of clients and the maximum possible use of the law. The main findings of abuse were presented in the case study. Along with the misuse of...

Šrámková, Nikola ; Hejzlarová, Eva (advisor) ; Trlifajová, Lucie (referee)
The thesis deals with the harmonization of family and work roles of workers without the possibility of working from home during the so-called first wave of the coronavirus crisis in 2020. The goal of this thesis is to describe the harmonization possibilities of family and the work roles in the Czech Republic. Another goal of this thesis is to find out what circumstances influenced the parents without the possibility of working from home to stay at work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Last but not least, the goal was set to map the harmonization of the family and of the work roles of the parents without the possibility of working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic. The theoretical basis of the thesis is the concept of family-work conflict in conjunction with the concept of work-life balance. These theoretical aspects were conceptualized with the issue of Covid-19, labor market conditions and the tools that make it easier to match the parental and the work roles in the Czech Republic. The research work works with primary and secondary data. The primary data was obtained through the semi-structured interviews with the affected individuals (the parents who take care of a child under the age of 10 and at the same time working in a position without the possibility of working from...

Regional conceptions of family policies through the theory of social construction of target populations
Braun, Vojtěch ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Jelínková, Marie (referee)
This work focuses on concepts of family policy on a regional level. Regions are the connecting link between the county level and the state level and have numerous instruments to support families or other social groups within their territory. While on the county level family policy doesn't get much attention, mostly due to lower personal, administrative or financial capacity, regions prepare detailed and wide concepts of family and social policy, in which they outline goals and aspirations, as well as instruments and ways in which to achieve them during a predetermined period. These instruments aim at different target populations. This work will be primarily focusing on the research of these target populations, which will then be analysed through the theory of social constructions of target populations, which was initially developed in 1993 by professors Anne Schneider and Helen Ingram. This theory dwells deeper when it comes to definitions of target populations and divides populations according to their definition, which can be positive or negative, and by their political power, which can be strong or weak. Looking at the numbers of instruments, their character and searching for a reason for this state of affairs, as well as applying the theory of social constructions of target populations, will lead to the...
