Community Centre for Seniors
DRSOVÁ, Terezie
The aim of the bachelor thesis was to find out what benefits the community centres for elderly citizens have. The basic concepts such as old age, aging, the needs of elderly citizens and communication with them were explained in the theoretical part. Furthermore, the theoretical part delt with the periodization of old age on the bases of diverse authors and particular aspects of old age were described. The research question concerning contributions of community centres to senior citizens was answered in the practical part. A partial research question dealt with perception of the benefits of a community centre by the senior citizens. A qualitative research strategy, a method of questioning and a semi-structured interview technique were chosen to fulfil the main goal. Research files were selected with the method of deliberate selection. Criteria for the selection of community centres were set in advance. The method of open coding was used to evaluate the extracted data. The research has shown that senior citizens who visit the community centre are integrated into society and can use their free time much better. The community centre offers them space for implementing various activities and simultaneously participating in professional lectures, which are organized within the community centre. The conclusion based on the research seems to prove that the respondents like to visit the community centre and it helped them to establish new relationships that would not exist otherwise. The research has shown that elderly citizens perceive the development of motor skills through various activities such as crocheting as a benefit of the activities. The results of the bachelor thesis can serve as a feedback for the facility where the research was carried out. It may also be useful for senior citizens who are considering a residential type of the facility, a choice between a facility with the community centre, or a facility without one.

Community work and the specifics of working with Romany minority
BÍLÝ, Tomáš
Bachelor´s thesis deals with community work and its specifics of work with Romany minority. The theoretical part introduces specifics of community work with Romany minority, its basic values and ?from the bottom up? principle, which is the main principle of community work. There are also covered stages of community development and important qualities of community worker for work with Romany minority. In the theoretical part there is particularly described the whole process of activation of this group of people as it is written in available literature. I used an example of Public Service Company Cheiron T in Tábor to demonstrate community work in practice. The practical part introduces specific community work of Cheiron T with local Romany minority in Tábor and the research. The main aim of my research is to find out how the Romany community in Tábor perceives activities of Cheiron T in relation to itself and how the Romany community reflects it at different levels. Other fractional aims are to find out what are the differences in perceiving activity of Cheiron T between representatives of Romany community who belong to initiation group and other inactive representatives of Romany community in Tábor and also what the community itself thinks they could do to change their unfavourable life situation. The practical part ends with presentation and interpretation of interviews of representatives of Romany community who I have held a conversation with. At the end of the thesis there is a discussion where I compare these interviews with my practical experience and the ideas I have found in literature.
