Severová, Petra ; Vrzáček, Petr (advisor) ; Pospíšil, Filip (referee)
The Diploma thesis focuses on the topic of Socially excluded locality and its perception by municipal politicians.

In the thesis the concept of social exclusion is defined and also described historically both in global and European context. The concept of social exclusion is closely related to the topic of socially excluded locality and the adoption of socially vulnerable people by the majority, therefore the second chapter of the thesis is devoted to this topic. Another theme prepared on the basis of the professional literature focuses on description of the specific situation in the Czech Republic, possibilities and scope of national and municipal politicians' activity. In the last chapter the possibilities of support and work with socially excluded citizens are introduced. Many studies consider the municipality and its government to represent the key role in the process of social inclusion of people endangered by social exclusion. However there are big differences among the...

Socially excluded locality and its perception by municipality politicans
Severová, Petra ; Vrzáček, Petr (advisor) ; Havrdová, Zuzana (referee)
The Diploma thesis focuses on the issues of social exclusion and people threatened by social exclusion phenomenon. In the thesis I address the process of social inclusion, which is related to socially excluded localities based on particular characteristics and local problems. A separate chapter is devoted to the method of community work that is focused on the effective response to the needs of socially excluded people. Furthermore I emphasize the work of the Agency for Social Inclusion, a major instrument of the Government of the Czech Republic, providing support to municipalities in the process of social integration. The relationship of the majority towards the socially excluded is also discussed within the thesis. Many studies consider the municipality and its government to represent the key role in the process of social inclusion of people endangered by social exclusion. However in the reality there are big differences among the municipalities with regard to the operation and support of socially excluded people. Social departments of some municipalities are acting proactively, others are not. The main difference lies in the self-government approach. Therefore I decided to focus my Diploma thesis research on this particular issue. The aim of the thesis is to describe the attitudes of the members...

During the years after the conversion in 1989 and the establishement of separate Slovak state the highest rate of longterm unemployement among the states of European Union occured in the locality of Eastern Slovakia. In current times after the economic crisis few states outrun Slovakia at the moment but taken from a more longterm perspective and taking into account the duration of unemployement Slovakia is still on the front ranks. In the European context this locality is also specific by high rates of marginalized Roma population that lives in an unsatisfactory conditions and has a problematic access to education and work. The fact that in the region there are less job opportunities compared to western Slovakia and therefore chances of finding an adequate job are also limited for the rest of the population worsens the situation. The thesis will not only analyse the conditions of emergence of unemployement but will also focus on strategies of multiple possible solutions with the main emphasis on potential of community work and social firms. These toughts will reflect an unemployed person in her psycho-social context. Secondary analysis of relevant sources aims at recognizing examples of good practice in community programs and based on available studies evaluates what situations were destined to...

There are also covered stages of community development and important qualities of community worker for work with Romany minority.

Other fractional aims are to find out what are the differences in perceiving activity of Cheiron T between representatives of Romany community who belong to initiation group and other inactive representatives of Romany community in Tábor and also what the community itself thinks they could do to change their unfavourable life situation.

Bachelor´s thesis deals with the importance of Romany culture, family, formal and informal environment for upbringing and educating Romany children. In the theoretical part there is first introduced Romany culture as the base of upbringing and educating Romany children. There is also covered raising in Romany family, for example what it means to bring up a child to being Roma and what the differences are between upbringing and educating in Romany family and in majority society. Then the thesis discusses formal educating mainly in kindergarten and primary school, it also deals with the role of teacher, achievements of Romany pupils and tools which make their position better. I used an example of the Community centre for children and youth Cheiron T in Tábor to demonstrate the influence of environment which is outside the family and school. In the practical part there are expressed the views of community and social workers of Cheiron T. The main purpose of my bachelor´s thesis is to find out Romany children´s attitude and motivation to education - how they are influenced by culture, family, school and community centre which they attend. The practical part ends with presentation and interpretation of children´s interviews. At the end of my bachelor´s thesis there is a comparison of children and community workers opinions and my practical experience with the opinions I have found in the literature.
