The work, according to the analysis of the municipal economy, concludes that some of the municipal documents have limited informational value, that it is complicated for citizens to understand the municipal economy, and finally that municipal economy in Jiřice is effective and observes public interests.

Citizen participation in community activities
Bitnarová, Andrea ; Chvátalová, Iva (advisor) ; Žák, Květoslav (referee)
Bachelor thesis contributes to a summary of basic legal options that guide us if we seek for civil initiative and participation in community activities. The work is divided into seven chapters. The last chapter is practically oriented. The first theoretical part should be used as a list of options with which as citizens or municipalities or cities we can get in context. Note the difference between municipalities with separate and delegated competence I am giving the brief information about the basic institutions of the village and I am focusing on the principles of good governance. I am also mentioning the European Charter of Local Self-Government because it establishes the guidelines and principles of European governments. In the practical part I applied the information to the municipality Broumov where I monitored the actual use of the possibilities and involving citizens in community activities.

Citizen´s Participation in Community Activities
KUDLÁČKOVÁ, Petra
In my thesis I deal with the participation of new citizens (in satellite areas) in activities of the local community. Today we live in a time of the developing issue of suburbanization. It began in the Czech Republic in the 90s of the 20th century after the Velvet Revolution, when the model of ideal housing for young families started to change gradually. In the world, this process has already started to appear many years earlier as in Western Europe or the USA. There was a significant reversal in the 19th and 20th century, when the situation was completely reversed, and most of the rural population moved to cities - urbanization process. The most common reasons for migration - for better job application and better access to needed services. The process of suburbanization means the movement of the population, their activation activities and some other functions from the core city to the suburbs of cities or urban population moving to a rural area and thus dramatically affecting and changing the face of typical rural life. A new area is growing around villages which changes the form from rural to urban style. New residents of these suburbs (satellite cities) live their learned life, ie. they prefer anonymity and do not adapt to life in the country. Suburbanization is a normal process that took place in our history in the development of cities. From the available historical sources, we know that it has been recorded on maps of Mesopotamian cities. This thesis is used to determine how new residents from the areas of satellite villages (Litvínovice, Hlincova Hora and Dubné) participate in the activities of local communities. To determine the objectives and elaboration of this thesis there were two hypotheses set. H1: Persons in the lower age will participate more in social activities in the village than the elderly. H2: Women will participate more in social events in the community than men. This bachelor's thesis consists of two parts. In the first part of this thesis I deal with current issues of suburbanization. The theoretical part includes basic concepts, the present in the countryside, the history of the rural countryside of South Bohemia, social interaction and socialization style and standard of living in suburbia. The second part of this bachelor's thesis deals with the research. Methodology work is processed using quantitative research. Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire survey. One type of questionnaire was composed and designed for the research sample, which consisted of new village residents (resident since 2000) who live in new buildings in the villages Hlincová Hora, Litvínovice and Dubné. The questionnaire consisted of 20 questions, of which 17 were closed and 3 were semi-open. The questions in the questionnaire were intended to determine the participation of the citizens in local community activities in the surveyed village they lived in. The research was conducted from 1st March 2013 to 15th March 2013. There were 260 questionnaires personally distributed (100%). In Litvínovice 148 questionnaires were distributed, in Hlincová Hora 60 questionnaires and in Dubné 52 questionnaires. All were completed and collected back in person. All distributed questionnaires (260 questionnaires) were used in the research. Of 260 respondents surveyed, 130 were women and 130 were men divided in 130 respondents up to 40 years (lower age) and 130 respondents over 40 years (elderly). The set hypotheses. H1: Persons in the lower age will participate more in social activities in the village than the elderly was refuted. H2: Women will participate more in social activities than men in the village was refuted. The information obtained from the data collection can be used as information material for mayors of surveyed villages. Also, these data can be used to meet the needs of mayors in motivating new citizens to cooperate and participate in the activities of local communities.
