ŠTURMOVÁ, Lenka
Voluntary activities have developed since the ancient time. From the beginning people had a need to help to their neighbours in unexpected situation which came suddenly because they could not manage to do it on their own. Non-state and non-profit organizations engage in the case of emergency and they are ready to help to citizens who are affected. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to define which non-state and non-profit organizations are situated in South Bohemia area and how they work during the emergency in South Bohemia. The work also evaluates if non-state and non-profit organizations are used sufficiently when the emergency comes. The first part of bachelor thesis is devoted to voluntariness and voluntary service. Then it pursues to fundamental groups of non-state and non-profit organizations which our legal code distinguishes. It speaks about associations, generally beneficial companies, institutions, foundations, foundation funds and church organizations. The author speaks about history and describes development of non-profit sector since Hussite revolution, Austrian Empire or Austro-Hungarian Empire, The First Republic, World War the Second, communistic and post-communistic period. Last but not the least the work deals with Panel of Non-state and Non-profit Organizations in South Bohemia. At the end of the theoretical part the bachelor thesis is focused on the term of emergency according to law. It characterizes elementary and the other groups of Emergency Services of integrated rescue system. It gives a definition of rescue and liquidation works, who carries them out and what are they for. As next it explains integrated rescue system documentation, alarm degrees and characterizes them shortly. It speaks about the difference between emergency and crisis situation. In the last part of the theoretical work are described relations among non-state and non-profit organizations and integrated rescue system. In the second part of this bachelor thesis is worked out the research of non-state and non-profit organizations which made an agreement with Rescue Fire-fighting body of South Bohemia and are situated in South Bohemia. There are defined individual organizations, their characteristic and type of activity. In the table there are portrayed some received data about organizations. Bachelor thesis also speaks about analysis of potentially possible organizations for making an agreement with Rescue Fire-fighting body of South Bohemia. By using of Fuller´s method it determines suitable criterions which can be used for appraisal and determination of non-state and non-profit organizations which are convenient subjects for making agreement. This work is based on this research question: are non-state and non-profit organizations in the South Region not underused during emergency events and crisis situations? When processing this work, current standards of scientific literature and studies were used. The research founded out using of non-state and non-profit organizations is high level. Due to making and agreement among representatives from South Bohemia and chosen non-state and non-profit organizations was established Panel of Non-state and Non-profit Organizations in South Bohemia which helps a lot to effective humanitarian help when emergency or crisis situation. It was also discovered there is evident rising trend in cooperation of non-state and non-profit organizations in integrated rescue system during the intervention in the Czech Republic. In South Bohemia cooperation during the intervention is not any difference in previous years. The exceptions are years 2008 and 2012 in which the cooperation mildly increased. In comparing of resulting percents are co-operations in the Czech Republic and in South Bohemia roughly in the same level. The research also discovered it is necessary to keep precise statistics for more effective appraisal of using of non-state and non-profit organizations during the emergency and crisis situation.

South Bohemian inhabitants opinion of activity of other bodies of Integrated Rescue Systems
DUŠKOVÁ, Ilona
The aim of this study was to identify and evaluate the opinion of South Bohemian region inhabitants on activities of the Integrated Rescue System (IRS) other emergency services in rescue and relief work in emergency situations and find out the resulting level of inhabitants safety. The whole study was designed to analyze the data collected by questionnaire survey and to obtain relevant information about the opinion of the South Bohemian region inhabitants on the work of the Army of the Czech Republic, the Czech Red Cross and the municipal police within IRS. A questionnaire survey seemed to be the best way how to get relevant information. The pilot study helped to identify the three other emergency services of IRS in the opinion of the inhabitants. At a subsequent questionnaire survey the research sample was 50 respondents from each of seven South Bohemian districts, a total of 350 respondents from districts České Budějovice, Český Krumlov, Jindřichův Hradec, Písek, Prachatice, Strakonice and Tábor. The results of this research show that three quarters of respondents do not exactly know the term "other emergency services of IRS", despite the fact that some of the respondents have personal experience with the intervention of some other emergency services of IRS during an emergency situation. So it can be concluded that the South Bohemian region inhabitants have more awareness of the IRS as a whole, but they are no longer sufficiently familiar with its structure. To increase the level of knowledge about the structure of the IRS?s components I recommend to include more detailed information about this topic in the primary school curriculum. It also proposes to increase public awareness about IRS structure through media campaigns. Activities of the Army of the Czech Republic within IRS were judged as very helpful and on quite sufficient level. Individuals who have had personal experience with - 5 - the intervention of soldiers such as rescue, relief work and evacuation, evaluate their help as efficient and very professional. The personal experience with the help of the Czech Red Cross in emergency situations (especially floods) has one quarter of respondents. Red Cross Humanitarian units helped in these cases mainly with the provision of emergency accommodation and catering. Czech Red Cross was also focused on the collecting and distributing of humanitarian aid. Almost 86% of respondents judged these activities as very professional and efficient. Respondents are not convinced about sufficiently help of municipal police in the case of emergency situation. Some of them rate it as rather weak. Likewise, they considered that each municipal police in South Bohemian region have some reserves in facilities such as car park. However, 41% of respondents agree that the quality of the activities of this emergency service is increasing in the last few years. My recommendation in this case refers to an increase in the number of service cars. Based on the obtained data, the ranking of other emergency services of IRS was compiled according to their significance in respondents? opinion. On the first three positions are these emergency service - Army of the Czech Republic, municipal police, Czech Red Cross. Summary of the obtained information indicates a positive finding that the three analyzed other emergency services of IRS are very helpful in protection of health, life and property of the inhabitants of South Bohemian region within the IRS activities. However, I believe that my recommendations presented in this study may contribute to further improving the performance of the three analyzed emergency services so that their perception of the South Bohemian region inhabitants can achieve an even higher level in the future.
