Čapková, Kateřina ; Řezanková, Hana (advisor) ; Löster, Tomáš (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to provide a comprehensive overview regarding survey of income and living conditions of households in the Czech Republic and propose a feasible approach to the exploitation of the collected data. The diploma thesis describes the framework of the EU-SILC survey and presents its practical implementation in the Czech Republic. A technique utilizing contingency table analysis is proposed for studying asymmetric relationships between selected housing characteristics and amenities in the dwelling with respect to different household types. The analysis is based on the relative frequencies of housing characteristics observed for particular types of households. The frequencies stem from the sample survey of income and living conditions of households carried out in the Czech Republic under the official title of Living Conditions 2008. Asymmetric measures of association for nominal and ordinal variables were used for the description of the relationships as the examined housing characteristics and household types have the character of alternative, nominal or ordinal variables. The analyses show significant relationship of the selected housing characteristics and the amenities in the dwelling on the monitored types of households.

Changes in the Lifestyle of Senior Citizen in Relation to Used Social Services of Changes in the lifestyle of senior citizens in relation to used social services of "Day Care"
KŘÍHOVÁ, Dana
This diploma paper deals with the changes in the lifestyle of senior citizens in relation to used social services of ``Day Care{\crq}q. At the present time, demographic survey findings show that the number of senior citizens is growing. This trend goes hand in hand with the issue of housing senior citizens that is seen as pressing. Naturally, every senior person sees a home as a place where they live. However, there are sometimes situations when the health state of a senior person does not allow them to live in their natural environment any longer and their family are not able, cannot or even do not want to look after them. There is a pressing need to move such a person to a different facility where they find all necessary care. One of many housing options can be seen in living at a day-care house. Clients find necessary services here that help them to remain self-reliant, be it partly, as long as possible. The objective of the paper was to find out about the changes that take place in the lifestyle of senior citizens after moving them to a day-care house, about the reasons of moving and, last but not least, about the use of the social service on offer. A qualitative research mode was adopted to acquire the results, in particular the method of controlled interview and clients{\crq} case reports. A secondary analysis of data from clients{\crq} social documentation was used to complement the research. The research was carried out with nine respondents chosen at random at three day-care houses in the region of České Budějovice operated by company Ledax o.p.s. The interviews were based on a list of questions and topics prepared in advance. The basic criterion chosen was a satisfactory health and mental state of the respondents enabling the interviews to take place. The responses obtained through the research interviews show the senior citizens are happier in their new dwellings and they perceive their move to a day-care house positively. Based on the research, I presume that the set objectives have been met. The diploma paper can be used to deepen the informedness of other senior citizens and the members of their families of housing options and the use of social services in day-care houses. This paper may be used as feedback for staff at day-care houses in relation to their clients{\crq} satisfaction with offered social services.
