Geographical aspects of the process of deinstitutionalization of the Sudetenland border
Korčák, Matěj ; Netrdová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Šimon, Martin (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to evaluate the impact of the former Sudeten German border as a primary factor on the socio-spatial differentiation of Czechia in time and space. The issue is viewed chronologically through the lens of the deinstitutionalization process. The main criterion evaluated within this process is the border's persistent effect on regional differences in its surroundings. The choice of indicators for which the degree of deinstitutionalisation is examined assumes that the expulsion of Czech Germans from the borderlands and the subsequent resettlement of the affected areas have transformed the population structures in the long term. At the local level, a quantitative analysis of selected indicators representing the three elementary population structures - demographic, social and economic - is conducted. The average values of the indicators are compared within the defined border zones in terms of substantive relevance. Data from the censuses between 1980 and 2021 are used, which allows us to track the changes in the influence of the historical boundary over time. A particular emphasis is placed on the spatial heterogeneity of the degree of deinstitutionalization of the Sudetenland border, which is thus analysed not only as a whole entity, but also in terms of its variability...

RYBANSKÁ, Monika
My diploma thesis is focused on the transformation process of institutional facilities for people with disabilities in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part is divided into six main chapters, which are further expanded by subchapters. The first chapter deals with transformation, which includes both the history and the present of transformation in the Czech Republic. The second chapter is devoted to social services for people with disabilities, where they focus on residential and field services related to the transformation process. The third chapter describes the projects and challenges that were used in the process. The fourth chapter is about good practice, where communities such as Camphill and Archa are also mentioned. The fifth chapter presents transformational inspiration from abroad, for example from the USA, Italy or Jordan. The last sixth chapter then takes place on the independent life of people with disabilities. The aim of the work is to find out the factors influencing the course and completion of the transformation in residential facilities for people with disabilities in the Czech Republic and how the overall change was evaluated by service representatives, their staff or the clients they. To this end, one research question and three partial research questions were identified.

Volunteering as Deinstitutionalizacion of Social Work
KRATKOVÁ, Barbora
The bachelor's thesis deals with volunteering as a possible form of deinstitutionalized social work. The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to determinate the position of volunteering in social work and its use in the performance of social work. Further describe how social workers perceive volunteering and its applicability in social work. A qualitative research strategy was used to achieve the set goal. The research group was deliberately selected on the basis of arranging contact through volunteer coordinators. The research sample is therefore social workers who use volunteers in their practice for at least one year. The necessary data were obtained by the method of questioning, specifically by the technique of semi-structured interview. All data were evaluated by using open coding and subsequent categorization of data. The results show that although volunteering in social work is widely applicable and can be used in both outpatient, residential and field social services, it is not yet common in the domestic social work environment for volunteers to work in the client's natural environment and thus directly involved in the process of deinstitutionalisation of social services. Results of the research of this bachelor thesis can be beneficial both for the volunteers and volunteer coordinators as well as for social workers and organizations providing social services, by providing space for a possible discussion about the wide possibilities of volunteering and its future potential.

Vajdová, Martina ; Janečková, Hana (advisor) ; Šťastná, Jaroslava (referee)
Development and new trends in the care for people with mental illness Abstract: The aim of my bachelor's thesis is to capture developments and new trends in the care for people with mental illnesses. In the introduction, I briefly specify the concept of mental illness and set the division of mental illnesses. Several selected diagnoses of mental illnesses, which are described here are based on professional literature, practical experience and available health statistics. The following is a description of the development of care for people with mental illnesses. From Ancient Times to the Middle Ages, society explained the existence of mental illnesses in humans as the action of supernatural forces. The care for people with mental illnesses was merely an exception during these historical periods. The situation of people with mental illnesses improved during the period of Enlightenment. With the development of medical science, society came to the conclusion that mental illnesses were caused by brain diseases. Psychiatry became a field of science with the first successful therapy treatments. Treatment began to be concentrated in mental institutions, later in psychiatric hospitals. This trend prevailed until the second half of the 20th century. Towards the end of the 20th century, the process of...
