State Approach to Volunteers
Štěpánková, Jitka ; Frič, Pavol (advisor) ; NÁHRADNÍ, OPONENT (referee)
The diploma thesis "State Approach to Volunteers" deals with the evolution of the state's relationship to voluntary activities in Czech society, with an emphasis on the period since 1989. The starting point is the setting of volunteerism into the context of postindutrial society, which urges us to revise our values orientation, the possibilities of the labour market, our access to life-long education and our level of social cohesion. The essay pays attention to the analysis of the state's approach to the phenomena of volunteerism (in the role of a supporter) and to the resulting position of volunteers in Czech society, stressing the steps that were made to support volunteerism by the state. It analyses the statistical data that deals with the characteristics of organisation, and the projects that have been supported in connection with the Act on Voluntary Service 198/2002. Further, it presents a comparison of the problematic fields of Czech legislation on volunteering with the Polish and Hungarian legislation on volunteering. Finally, it suggests steps and arrangements that could be used in the further support of voluntary activities in the Czech environment.

The importance of volunteer service in the protection of inhabitants, focusing on the Czech Red Cross
PEŘAN, David
The topic of this bachelor thesis is ?The importance of volunteer service in the protection of inhabitants, focusing on the Czech Red Cross? and how it deals with volunteering and the volunteer service, which is provided in the Czech Republic, especially in the capital city Prague. The theoretical part of this study is about the history of the volunteer service in Europe, Czech Republic and Prague. The basic legislation about the volunteer service, specifically Act. No. 198/2002 Coll. on volunteer service and on amendments to certain Acts (Volunteer Service Act), is analyzed in detail. The next document, which was used in the theoretical part, is ?The statues of Czech Red Cross organization? (CRC), which adjust the position of volunteers inside this organization. The Law on volunteer service, describes volunteer service, as a service, which is provided by person without employment relationship or relationship based on staff or membership. One of the basic principles of the Red Cross (RC) organization is volunteer service, which means, that everyone, who cooperates with the RC organization provides a volunteer service, but in the Czech Republic individuals can provide services based on employment, staff or membership. Here is the conflict between national law and the principles of RC. This thesis works on the concept, that everyone, who cooperates with the Czech Red Cross is a volunteer, including individuals, who are staff, members or employees. The statues of the Czech Red Cross organization present three groups that can provide services: employees, members and volunteers. Employees have contracts of employment and this contract delegates them into leadership positions, for example in a crisis staff at the strategic and operational level. Members have rights and responsibilities and their activity is used in a emergency crews and especially at tactical level in humanitarian units. Volunteers are used during an extraordinary event to support humanitarian units and other activities, which are mentioned in Regional Concept of Emergency Preparedness. Basic training is parallel for all groups and after this training they start special trainig according to performed activities. The research question is: Does the the ?Concept of emergency preparedness of the Czech Red Cross up to the 2015? improve situation of CRC's volunteers in the field of protecting inhabitants? The response was a qualitative analysis of collected data about the volunteer service and comparative analysis of basic legislative documents of crisis management, protection of ihabitants and the Czech Red Cross organization. Objects of comparison are legislative documents. Comparison is to find out the answers to the criteria analysis from the fifteen selected legislative documents and two concepts. The analysis containes the answers to five questions. In the analysis were used synchronous comparison of monitored issues in the current legislation of the Czech Republic. Thanks to the results of the comparative analysis was prepared the Plan of CRC to help the capital city of Prague according to the applicable Methodology of the Plan of CRC to help a region. The result of the comparative analysis is the fact that the seven documents deals with volunteer services directly and one indirectly. Five documents deals with the funding of volunteer services directly and one indirectly. The real output is the Plan of CRC to help the capital city of Prague. I think that these disputed issues will not be solved soon. The question is, how will the new CRC documents (Plan of help and Concept of emergency preparedness) be applied.
