Multigenerational Coexistence / Happy Living in a Castle
Habancová, Anežka ; Dvořák, Tomáš (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
Previously, the bulk of the population lived in rural areas. The whole family lived there together in the family house on the same property. Young helped the elderly and old to their offspring, with households with children, with the economy. With the advent of industrialization and mobilization, many young people moved into the cities, to work, to the newly constructed blocks of residential houses, which were rather less than they could live with a large extended family. Mutual cooperation was suddenly far away. The town has more people, more jobs and more older people, which the state took care of them - homes for the elderly - retirees concentration in one place, without daily contact with young, with family. Thanks to good quality of health care older people is increasing and this problem is must be solved. The country has still semi-detached houses and multigenerational houses, where the family lived with grandparents, but in the city is hard to find to buy or rent two apartments near each other. The main concept of my work is to create a semi-detached flats, flats with common vestibule, which connects one smaller and one larger apartment. Use the castle for this principle is more than appropriate - will be returned the housing for the family and each of generation finds in the castle grounds space for their activities or employment. This area still remains open to inhabitant of the city and offer them new possibilities for leisure (restaurants and an amphitheater).

The Opportunities of Intergenerational Solidarity in the Senior Nursing Homes in the Pilsen Region
SLÁMOVÁ, Kamila
The thesis called "The Opportunities of Intergenerational Solidarity in the Senior Nursing Homes in the Pilsen Region" deals with intergenerational activities, activities that run between the retirement homes and school facilities in the Pilsner Region. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and an observational part. Theoretical part of the thesis deals with questions connected with age structure of the population, intergenerational relationships, solidarity and education. At the same time it deals with intergenerational cooperation, intergenerational programs and with importance of the intergenerational cooperation in international documents. For the observational part a qualitative research was chosen. For this part its goal, methodology and a schedule were defined. Primarily methods of questioning and semi structured interview were chosen. The interviewees were staff of the retirement homes in the Pilsen Region. The research group was formed of the staff that performs intergenerational projects. Secondarily a method of general data analysis, literal transcription technique, coding, data categorization and the method of forming clumps. To answer the research questions the obtained data were evaluated and interpreted according to the individual research questions. The research mapped activities within the intergenerational projects. They deal with long-term meeting and cooperation between senior citizens and school children. Thanks to the intergenerational projects a permanent intergenerational cooperation was enabled. Senior citizens may live a large part of the final stage of their lives in an active way according to their inner mentality and fulfil their higher needs. Intergenerational cooperation has its difficulties such as insufficient time span, insufficient room for activities, ageism or wrongly chosen communication between the given generations but still the intergenerational projects have been carried out to fulfil the set goals gradually. Within performing the intergenerational projects even the goals expected from such programs on the national and international level have been gradually fulfilled. The intergenerational cooperation has been strengthened thanks to such projects in the retirement homes. The intergenerational projects are thus reflected positively in gradual strengthening of the intergenerational relationships and solidarity which has been much needed to supress constantly growing ageism in the society. The result of the thesis may be used as feedback not only for the management and staff of the Pilsen Region retirement homes but also for management and staff of other organizations who may stand up for performing of the intergenerational projects in their facilities. Appropriately they may be used as studying materials for humanities or social work students or as a background material within next intergenerational solidarity research. In relation to the current Covid-19 situation in the Czech Republic it would be reasonable to consider using of the virtual communication through appropriate platforms. Thanks to the modern communication technologies the intergenerational cooperation in the retirement homes could proceed further.

How our elderly parents live? Ideas children have about everyday life of their elderly parents.
Faltusová, Lenka ; Hájek, Martin (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Hynek (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is the characterization of matches and differences representing everydayness within selected pairs; seniors and their descendants. Based on qualitative in- depth interviews, agreements and disagreements are found in the ideas of everyday life and their own presentation. These agreements or disagreements are further analyzed using the theories of everyday life that are presented in this thesis. Findings about ideas of everyday of each pair is further discussed with existing literature dealing with motives that play a crucial role in deciding of moving a senior, who is no longer able to take care of himself completely, into institutional or home care. Based on literature and research findings, it is discussed whether an interperspective idea of everyday life can be one of the other reasons for choosing home or institutional care for the elderly.

BROŽKOVÁ, Adéla
This bachelor´s thesis is focused on the old age and ageing as seen through the eyes of three generations. The main objective of this thesis is to compare how particular people from different age groups (age of 20-30 years, 30-50 years, and 50-70 years) perceive their own old age. The thesis consists of the theoretical part and the empirical part. Theoretical part is divided into nine subchapters which deal with specific issues of the old age and associated problems. Empirical part deals with the results of the research undertaken for the purpose of this thesis. The main research question was: "In what aspects the view of old age among the generations differs most markedly? " For obtaining the necessary information, the strategy of qualitative research was chosen and performed with the using of open coding. The data were collected through the semi-structured interviews and the research sample was selected by using purpose quota selection. The research participants were people from different age groups age of 20-30 years, 30-50 years, and 50-70 years. The research sample consisted of twelve participants who were willing to participate in the research. The research was performed in two phases preliminary research and research itself. The interviews were recorded on a dictaphone and transcribed verbatim. The data were analysed with the using of categorization. Based on the research, the view of old age is most markedly different between the age groups 20-30 years and 50-70 years. The age group 30 -50 years in most cases agreed either with younger or older age group. The greatest differences of opinion among particular generations were in the questions of how retirees perceive today's young generation, in the view of need for education of retirees, further also in the opinions regarding the employment opportunity for elderly people or how society treats the elderly people. The results of this bachelor´s thesis can be used to provide insight of how people see the old age and to increase the general awareness of how to work and deal better with the elderly. This thesis can also serve as educational material for students and teachers.
