Roznětinská, Barbora ; Zvára, Michael (advisor) ; Salač, Josef (referee)
RENTAL HOUSING AS A WAY OF FULFILLING THE RIGHT TO HOUSING AND THE CURRENT DIFFICULTIES OF ITS AVAILABILITY Abstract This thesis deals with a few current issues of fulfilling the right to housing by rental housing. Firstly, it aims to find out how sufficient is the valid law. Secondly, it tries and answer the question of whether there is a change in housing - from owning a house or a flat to renting one instead. In the first chapter, housing as one of the fundamental human needs is outlined and is pointed out to the importance of this subject not only in law but also in human life in general. In the second chapter, I describe the basics of the law most relevant to the explored object, including filling the topic into public (international and constitutional) law context. Followed by the explanation of the key parts of the Czech Civil Code. What is more, the state housing policy as a tool for housing development and the availability of flats is not left behind. I consider that policy as one of the results of the fundamental human right to housing. Although one is not entitled to housing, there are state duties resulting from that fundamental right. Thus, the state is required to establish (legal) conditions for people to be able to aim at fulfilling their right to housing. The third chapter deals with a few...

Housing situation of young families with children in Prague from the perspective of the welfare state theory and the life-cycle perspective
Plavecká, Tereza ; Hejzlarová, Eva (advisor) ; Vejchodská, Eliška (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on the housing situation of young families with children in the context of the housing crisis in Prague. The main aim of the thesis is to describe and understand the housing situation of young families in detail and at the same time to explain the situation and their behaviour from the perspective of the welfare state theory and from a life-cycle perspective. The thesis is interested in the history of the housing situation of families and the broader context of the problem - family and housing policy and the transformation of the family at the beginning of the 21st century, the threats to families and the new social risks. Based on a structured analysis of individual interviews with nine young parents, it seeks answers to the questions of whether families are finding affordable housing, what problems they face, and how social policy is responding to their situation. It presents options for measures to improve the housing situation of families, using examples from abroad and the Czech Republic. It gives voice to young families with children who are under- represented in today's debate on unaffordable housing in an urbanised world.

Architecture in the era of housing crisis
Mičková, Pavla ; Ježková, Tereza (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
The diploma thesis is based on a pre-diploma project that focused on different approaches to solving the housing crisis. It was based on the evaluation of information on current trends in housing, but also on the history of global and local solutions to the problem. This was followed by the selection of a location suitable for the design of a residential complex. I focused on the Brno brownfields. The area in question belongs to the development locations of Brno, so a new attractive district should be created in its immediate vicinity in the future, to which I decided to respond. The goal of the proposed urban planning part was to connect and make the selected plot as accessible as possible in connection with the proposed development in the vicinity. The solution to the traffic situation in the locality and the connection of existing roads with newly proposed ones became part of the work. The proposal itself is then carried out in the spirit of respect for the given territory and the use of participatory housing to solve the crisis. The proposal consists of several parts, the aim of which is to fill existing gaps, replace unsuitable objects and find a way to use the complicatedly shaped brownfield. In the final design, I am trying to create pleasant housing near the city center, which is surrounded by greenery, responds to current needs, saves energy and is a response to the housing crisis.

Architecture in the era of housing crisis
Richnavská, Dominika ; Eichlerová, Eva (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to design a residential complex on the territory of the city of Brno, ideally on the site of a brownfield or on an inappropriately used land such as a horticultural land. The design should take into account trends in housing and construction and also offer solutions to current social problems. As the selected area for the thesis I have chosen the gardening complex on Žlutý Kopec, which is located at a relatively short distance from the city centre. New studies and projects are already being developed in the area to better use its potential and to make it more accessible. In the project, I am focusing on an alternative way of building - baugruppe, which is better known in neighboring countries but offers us a chance to find interesting housing solutions in contrast to development projects. That gives residents the opportunity to create individual solutions that suit each of them while finding a compromise for living together in peace and contentment. The area mostly consists of flats, but we can find there also smaller premises such as gym, coworking, etc. The addition of outdoor activities, playgrounds and sitting areas completes the whole of participatory living with strong social ties.

Typology of alternative housing residents
Domkářová, Anna ; Novák, Arnošt (advisor) ; Špaček, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis is focused on alternative forms of living (caravans, boats, houseboats, yurts, tiny houses, and others specified by high mobility and small space) in the context of the recent crisis. These forms of living can be an answer to social, political, and economical situations. This theme is not only about the recent housing crisis, but also about the housing process and the concept of "home". This thesis, based on half-structured interviews which were completed with additional secondary sources, tries to find an understanding of the given choices and look for similarities and differences in the deeper relations of inhabitants to their own form of housing, which are tied to specific motivations, choices, home enjoyment, but also to problems which the specific form has. The diverse relations to housing are the core of this thesis - to create a typology of citizens who use alternative forms of living. Types like old-school, adventurer, pragmatic, planter and bohemian were created due to the interpretation of found data and are representatives of different approaches to the concept of home, but also to oneself and to the world. Keywords housing crisis, alternative housing, affordable housing, typology

Tiny House - Reasons and obstacles of living in a small space
Pospíšilová, Veronika ; Novák, Arnošt (advisor) ; Špaček, Ondřej (referee)
Práce se zabývá fenoménem tiny house, tedy malými funkčně zařízenými stavbami. Teoretická část práce na základě rešerše literatury představuje tuto stavbu i sociální a architektonické hnutí, které se kolem tohoto způsobu bydlení vytvořilo. Hnutí propaguje žití na malém prostoru, omezování spotřeby a větší environmentální šetrnost jakožto prostředek ke zvýšení kvality života (Anson, 2014). Empirická část se zaměřuje na obyvatele těchto staveb na území České republiky. Klade si za cíl porozumět, co bylo důvodem k pořízení domku, dále pak jaká pozitiva a negativa bydlení přináší. Na základě polostrukturovaných rozhovorů a analýzy sekundárních dat, práce dochází k závěru, že se jedná především o biografické řešení systémového rozporu, kterým je krize bydlení (Beck, 2011). Na výsledné podobě tohoto řešení se podílejí panující kulturní normy v oblasti bydlení. Tiny house tak nemá být zhmotněním protestu proti současnému systému, spíše individuálním vypořádáním se s jeho nefunkčností. Vlastnictví domku přináší obyvatelům pocit jistoty, klidu, větší finanční nezávislost i prostor pro revizi hodnot. Zároveň se snižuje jejich ekologická stopa (Saxton, 2019). Domek na druhou stranu vytváří náročnější podmínky pro soužití více osob. Zároveň se jeho obyvatelé musí často potýkat se skepsí ze strany okolí i...

Radauti Municipal (Co)housing
Grosu, Gabriel Andrei ; Widholmová, Alžběta (referee) ; Toman, Radek (advisor)
Since the beginning of the Ukrainian invasion, the booming demand for accommodation within proximity to the border turned into a delicate housing crisis. This project investigates the current housing condition made available for the Ukrainian refugees while searching for the best way of addressing the sudden increase in the medium and long-term housing demand. The findings of the investigation along with the input from many consultations with Ukrainian war refugees were translated into developing a detailed architectural design for a municipal (CO)housing refugee camp in the city of Radauti.

Real Estate and Territorial Development in the Context of Media
Erml, Tashi ; Wolák, Radim (advisor) ; Cebe, Jan (referee)
This thesis analyses the connections between real estate development, territorial development, and the media. The theoretical part presents fundamental topics from the field that are points of focus for the media and places them in a wider context with an emphasis on the housing situation in Prague. It also presents individual aspects that could have an influence on messages in the media, including the role of media ownership and the ideological beliefs of individual journalists. The work further discusses the presentation of developers in the media and their general reputations. The practical part of the paper employs three different research methods. The first is a content analysis focused on mainstream media, where we examine how they cover the topic over a specific period. The second includes a qualitative analysis that is based on interviews with a representative from the public sector, the private sector, and a non-profit. The third method is a quantitative analysis of a representative survey of Prague's inhabitants. In conclusion, the work presents recommendations how media could help cultivate the sector and improve communication between individual actors in real estate and territorial development.

Ending homelessness in the Czech Republic: Application of the Housing First model to the Czech environment
Cachová, Tereza ; Klvačová, Petra (advisor) ; Pěnkava, Pavel (referee)
In times such as these, when there is a rapid increase of people facing a housing crisis in the Czech Republic and the attempts to create and enforce the Law on Social Housing, people look at models from the Western countries, such as Housing First. Such models could provide possible solution for the housing situation of many people and also improve the quality of their lives. This particular method appeared in the 1990s USA and was aimed especially for people without homes who suffer from a mental disorder and alcohol or drug addiction at the same time. The main idea is that housing should not be a reward for successful solution of life problems but something that a person needs to start dealing with their troubles. In cases when people are given a place to live for a reduced rent, with the help of a social worker they can very often keep it up and they have the chance to deal with other problems connected to homelessness. The efficiency of the model is explored through experimental projects that do not look only at the percentage of people who are able to keep up their home but also the positive impact on their health or employability. With the spread of this method to Canada, Europe and Australia, certain aspects of Housing First were adapted to local contexts. Many subsequent projects use only...
