The ideal of community in modern societies
Štěch, Ondřej ; Hrubec, Marek (advisor) ; Znoj, Milan (referee) ; Skovajsa, Marek (referee)
of doctoral thesis This thesis deals with the problem of community conceived as an important ideal in modern societies. Its departing point in understanding modernity is the concept of social imaginaries as developed by Charles Taylor. The interpretation of this concept shows, that community is always only an alternative model of social relations. Despite this situation, it is an always recurrent ideal. The question is, why it is so and in which forms it manifests itself. The first question is answered with the help of the theory of recognition of Axel Honneth, which analyzes moral development of the subject in connection with communal relations. Identity is always anchored in the experience of recognition, and this experience needs to be confirmed in human relationships. Community, then, is the place of such confirmation. The thesis then proceeds to the reconstruction of various shapes of the ideal of community. In the reconstruction of these two most important forms of community, the thesis relies on the work of communitarian theorists and of Benedict Anderson. The first one shows small, mainly local communities growing out of free will of their members. Such communities are formed for various purposes. The second important form are imagined communities, especially nations. The thesis is...

Volunteering for everybody
HESTIA, o.s. ; Dobrovolnické centrum, o.s ; Národní institut dětí a mládeže MŠMT ; Plán B, o.s.
V rámci Evropského roku dobrovolnictví 2011 probíhaly v jednotlivých evropských zemích národní „vlajkové“ projekty zaměřené na rozvoj dobrovolnictví. V České republice dostal tento vlajkový projekt název „Dobrovolnictví pro všechny“ a společně ho realizovaly čtyři partnerské organizace: HESTIA, o.s., Dobrovolnické centrum Ústí nad Labem, Národní institut dětí a mládeže a Plán B. — Hlavní myšlenkou tohoto projektu byl rozvoj komunitního přístupu k dobrovolnictví, postaveném na partnerství dobrovolníků s obcemi, státními institucemi, neziskovými organizacemi i komerčními fi rmami. Menší podprojekty, které byly vybrány a podpořeny, mohou být dobrou inspirací a ukázkou toho, co vše může dobrovolnictví zahrnovat a jaký může být jeho vliv na komunity, v nichž žijeme. — Cílem bylo zapojit všechny, kdo se podílí na životě v komunitě a ukázat, že dobrovolná činnost je součástí aktivního občanství a má pozitivní vliv na mezilidské vztahy i na okolní prostředí. Význam dobrovolnictví by si tak měli uvědomit všichni, kdo mohou přispět k jeho rozvoji a to jak uvnitř regionálních komunit, tak i na dalších úrovních.

Tourism as an alternative for development of rural landscape
Cudlínová, Eva
Tourism in general is starting to play an important role as one of the new emerging business branches supporting economic development. This kind of business is especialy important in former rural lagging regions. The process of globalisation and CAP reform are likely to be particularly significant contributors to the further marginalisation of these European regions, which are relatively disadvantaged from the economic and social point of view. No doubt tourism as such can be a blessed activity for certain regions where it could replace the role of agriculture.There are many studies related to tourism dealing with the social conditions, traditions and control of resources by the local community. One promising idea is the concept of "integrated tourism". Integrated tourism has one specific trait different in comparison with other types of business- this activity is not aimed just at the profit of the tourist enterpreneur, but at development of the whole region. Keeping the countryside alive is one crucial predisposition for integrated tourism. The fulfilment of this condition requires healthy local community. Our proposal is focused on the role of local community in rural lagging regions. Our case study is situated in rural lagging region Česká Canada It is a rural border region with significant landscape amenities and cultural heritage with a high potential for integrated tourism. We would like answer these questions: To which extent does local community accept tourism as an integrated part of regional development? Could tourism replace the role of agriculture?
