Social Exclusion Among The Homeless And Its Impact On Health
ZLATUŠKOVÁ, Vendula
The thesis topic ?Social exclusion among the homeless and its subsequent impact on health" provides the deeper understanding of the problematic regarding homeless people who are without family/social connections and often suffer from lack of social and health care. The theoretical part of the thesis called ?Current Status? elaborates on the study of the fundamental ideas and concepts In addition the thesis defines the objective and subjective factors of homelessness, health problematic and its determinants, trying to provide an insight into somatic and psychological complications, which are linked to the system of health care provided towards the homeless people. The aim was to detect and define the elements of social exclusion among the homeless and find their conditionality in relation to subjective health perception Basic data for the research were based on the following research questions: V1: What causes played a significant role in respondents becoming homeless? V2: How homeless people evaluate their current health? V3: How the homeless people perceive assistance to improve their situation? The subject of research part is the link between environmental (social) situation of selected group of people and their subjectively perceived health status. To determine the necessary data the qualitative method, semi-controlled interview technique supplemented by observation were used. The research was conducted in the St. Pauls shelter in České Budejovice. The interviews were done with 10 respondents and the results of the research are summarized in form of case studies divided into categories and presented according to the similarities/differences in the respondent?s claims. This work can be used as a basis for further research to quantify the social determinants of health associated with homelessness. I, together with the social worker of the St. Paul shelter, perceive lack of linking health and social services for the homeless. This issue should be further strengthened, so that eventually could be used to influence public policy in shaping the environment affecting our health.

ROTBAUEROVÁ, Alice
Law No 111/2006 Collection of Laws: About a help in a living emergency and Law No 110/2006: About living wage and breadline, are the rules of Laws, by means of them is solved problem of powerty. Benefits in living emergency are assignated for clients, who´s income does not reach living wage, or they have not any. Institute of breadline is a provision, that is aimed for the clients that are exploiting in the long term duration the social benefits and their working ability is on very low level. The aim of the Institute is, so that the long term clients of Authority of social help in a living emergency, get again their working ability. In theoretic part of my bachelor´s work I deal with powerty problem and solving possibility of this world-wide problem. And also in theoretic part I deal with the Law No 110/2006 Collection of Laws: About living wage and breadline, and with the Law No 111/2006 Collection of Laws: About help in a living emergency and with the method of dealing with clients of Authority of help in the situation living emergency. In my research, based on the method of making inquiry as well as making analyse of dokuments, I found out what are the activating aspects in the hands of Breadline Institute in the relation to the living emergency benefit´s recipients. Research inquiry file has been arranged from the recipients the benefits of living emergency in the Social welfare, those have been registered by Department of Municipal Authorities in České Budějovice. So that social welfare has not be reduced, there is the term of working in the sphere of public service. There has been found out, on the base of executed research, that 59 % of clients are willing to work in the public service. This fact proves the hypothesis H 1 - Breadline Institute has activating effect for the clients who are long term recipients of the living emergency welfares. Further I have found out, on the base of inquiry method, how are ready the Municipal Offices (Acredited Municipal Offices, as well as Municipal Offices with extended operation) to establish Public service, it means in the year 2010. In case of research´ file: Municipal Offices, that are Municipal Offices with extended operation and Acredited Municipal Offices at the territory of South Bohemia Region, there was found out that Municipal Offices with extended operation are more ready to establish Public service than Acredited Municipal Offices - nearly of 30 %. I suppose, on the base of executed research, that the hypothesis H 2 has been proved - Municipal Offices are ready to provide Public service for recipients of living emergency welfare.
