Horáková, Michaela ; Bureš, Jan (advisor) ; Štefek, Martin (referee)
The object of this study is the creation, activity and termination of Občanské fórum (OF) in the central Bohemia city Slaný. The OF in Slaný was established after the general strike on 27th November 1989 at home of one of the founders. Other OF were created spontaneously in the workplace and in schools and gradually merged into the urban OF. In the early days the dialogue was the priority, members of OF Slaný called for discussion by their deputies in the local national committee. The main objective is to clarify the activities of OF and its influence on events in Slaný in November and the days following. Many different people with different interests, motivations and desires came and left the OF. And it influenced his future direction and impact on the political scene in Slaný. Without the establishment of the OF it would be more difficult to put pressure on city officials to allow access to the administration for the non-communist parties.

Civic forum in Ostrava region
Zipser, Jan ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Němec, Jan (referee)

The aim of the thesis is to cover the differences in the process on both levels and characterize the role of the Civic forums in companies in the Ostrava region. It is an important question if the velvet revolution stood a chance of success in the so called iron heart of the republic, it means in the environment of the heavy industry workers, and if this group of citizens participated in the larger scale in the revolution. The thesis concludes that there were differences especially in the discussed problems on each level, e.g. degree of share in power in the centre versus replacement of local political representatives in the region. Concerning activity of workers in the CF the thesis finds out, that their involvement in company Civic forums reached a significant measure. The second part of the thesis studies to which extent the regional problems were perceived on the central level in Prague. This is examined by the analysis of the central electoral program of the CF in the parliamentary elections of 1990 and its following comparison with documents concerning regional problems of Ostrava and its neighbourhood. This implies that only some of the regional agenda was reflected by the central electoral program, but it did not deal with most of the problems and on the contrary, it carried a risk of new difficulties.
