Target population of debtors in distraints as beneficiaries of public policy measures
Braun, Vojtěch ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Plaček, Michal (referee)
This diploma thesis aims to analyse the approaches of policy actors towards the target population of debtors in enforcement proceedings. The object of the research is the perceptions of debtors by the political representation and the influence of these perceptions on the proposed measures. The area of enforcement proceedings has seen considerable changes in recent years. The main changes are described in this thesis. The history of the system of enforcement proceedings in the Czech Republic is also briefly presented. The thesis analyses the media outputs of various political actors operating between 2017 and 2025, looking at how debtors are portrayed and what instruments are proposed towards them. The approach to debtors is analysed for all political parties that successfully ran for the Chamber of Deputies in the 2017 and 2021 elections. The results are interpreted using the social construction theory of target populations to explain why the definitions of target populations are constructed in that particular way and what this means for debtors. Four distinct approaches to debtors are identified and described, which differ in their perceptions of debtors, preferred changes in the area of enforcement proceedings, or their motivations.

Analysis of Roma integration in the Czech Republic using the theory of social construction of target populations
Tuzar, Vojtěch ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Kohoutek, Jan (referee)
The master thesis deals with public policies in the area of Roma minority inclusion in the modern history of the Czech Republic after 1989. The main objective of the thesis is to identify, by applying the theory of social construction of target populations, the form of state intervention in solviing the exclusion of the Roma minority from society. And then to find out what influence the social construction of the Roma and their political possibilities play here. The research consists in analysing and identifying the different elements of the theory in the following order: 1. Analysis of public policies for Roma integration; 2. Analysis of the social construction of the Roma; 3. Analysis of the political power of Roma. The first step towards achieving the aim of the thesis is to reveal the nature of the policy design of Roma integration. In this step, I will analyse a convolute of public policy documents, which includes international legal conventions, domestic minority laws and strategic documents. In the next step, I will focus on the social image of the Roma, the form of which, according to the social construction theory of target populations, plays an undeniable role in the formulation of public policies and the behaviour of elected officials. The last main effort to fulfil the aim of the thesis...

Social housing in municipalities of the Czech Republic: policy design and target populations
Broklová, Tereza ; Hejzlarová, Eva (advisor) ; Nekola, Martin (referee)
The thesis deals with setting of a system of social housing in the municipalities of the Czech Republic. It is based in particular on the Concept of Social Housing of the Czech Republic 2015-2025, as the legislation on social housing in the Czech Republic has not yet been approved by the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic. The system is very fragmented for the above reason, there is no consensus in the definition, not even in determining to whom and under what conditions social housing should be allocated. The thesis builds on Schneider and Ingram public policy theory, the theory of social construction of target populations ("TSKCP"). The two main concepts of TSCTP - target population and policy design are the optics and subject of analysis. The most important research activity could be described as an analysis of the availability of social housing in 2nd level municipalities, which was implemented in the form of survey of 388 municipal webpages in order to find out the mention and methodology of providing social housing. Additional interviews with social and housing commissioners took place within one region of the Czech Republic, where we can presume similar socio-economic conditions, but due to anonymity, it cannot be specified more precisely. From the methodological...
