Vietnamese and their integration in the Czech Republic
HŮLKOVÁ, Veronika
This thesis deals with the integration of Vietnamese in the Czech Republic. Within the integration, two areas are examined in this thesis - linguistic and social. The aim of this thesis is to find out to what extent the Vietnamese living in the Czech Republic are integrated in selected dimensions into the majority of the society. This thesis is written as a part of the project No. 101/2022/S Selected aspects of integration of foreigners living in the Czech Republic and their relationship to social work. The duration of this project is set at 3 years. The fulfilment of the aim is achieved using a quantitative research strategy. A survey method with questionnaire technique is used. The research population consists of 98 respondents. The findings cannot be generalized to the entire population of the Vietnamese in the Czech Republic. The data are analysed using SASD software version 1.4.10 and SPSS software version 28.0. The significance level is set at = 0.05, 0.01 and 0.001. It is confirmed that respondents with a longer length of stay (11 years or more) evaluate the level of Czech language skills (reading and writing) negatively. On the contrary, respondents with a length of stay of 4-10 years rate their reading and writing skills as average. In the terms of social integration, the higher the respondents rate their social status in the Czech Republic and in their country of origin, the better is their knowledge of the Czech language. The rating of their knowledge of the Czech language increases when comparing their social status with the Czechs and other foreigners living in their vicinity. Better knowledge of the Czech language also increases in relation to recognition from the Czechs and feeling at home in the Czech Republic. Respondents with better knowledge of the Czech language feel more integrated into the Czech society. The statistically significant association is not confirmed for the other variables.

Risks of Social Exclusion of Seniors Living in Home Enviroment
HŮLKOVÁ, Veronika
The bachelor thesis deals with the risks of social exclusion of seniors living in the home environment. The aim of the thesis is to find out the risks of social exclusion among seniors living separately and to identify reasons which lead seniors living in the home environment to the disuse of social services. This work is divided into two parts - the theoretical one and the empiric one. The theoretical part focuses on the definition of principal terms concerning the bachelor thesis. In the empirical part, there are stated two exploratory questions concerning the risks of social exclusion of seniors living in the home environment and the reasons which lead seniors living in the home environment to the disuse of social services. For obtaining the answers to the highlighted exploratory questions were used several methods, such as a qualitative investigative strategy, interviewing, and a technic of a semistructured interview. The investigative sample was formed by six informants, which were chosen in a combination of two methods of selection - the snowball method and quota sampling. Physical health, as one of the many risks, can lead to the social exclusion of seniors living in the home environment. The results further point to limited financial means, reduced self-sufficiency, and reduced social interactions. For example, low foreknowledge about social services, their negotiation and financial valuation, self-sufficiency, assurance of proceeding care and disposal of the sphere of close people can be seen as possible reasons that lead to the disuse of social services. The results may be beneficial for increasing awareness of the public about risks that lead to social exclusion. Further, they could serve as feedback to organisations providing social services to increase the foreknowledge about the services they provide.
