Life of Ukrainians (Including other selected nationalities) their integration in the South Region
POLÁNKOVÁ, Oksana
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to describe the lives of Ukrainians, Russians and Kazakhs in the territory of the Czech Republic and their integration in the linguistic, economic, social and cultural spheres. Specifically, the thesis is focused on foreigners who live in the Czech Republic in the South Bohemian Region. I have chosen a target group of foreigners because I am a foreigner as well and this inspired me to describe the lives of my compatriots and other selected nationalities in the Czech Republic in the South Bohemian Region. At the same time, it was enriching for me to look into this issue with a different point of view and to remember my own experience. I have obtained the information from the informants via a qualitative research strategy along with a combination of a narrative interview and a structured interview. Target questions were focused on the foreigners{'} integration process in different fields into the Czech society from their subjective point of view and on their personal reasons for migration to the Czech Republic. Other questions were focused on how Ukrainians, Russians and Kazakhs perceive their lives in the territory of the Czech Republic. For the data collection, I have used in my thesis a technique of snowball sampling. Altogether, 10 foreigners residing legally in the South Bohemian Region participated in the survey. It was possible to stop the research at the number of 10 participants, as the respondents{'} answers were repeated in the interviews. To process the results, I have used a grounded theory along with a coding method. It is obvious from the research results that every foreigner is going through the integration process, although each informant had different reasons for migration and the results of integration both positive and negative. It is clear the foreigners are not native speakers in the given language area, therefore they often face up to prejudices or discrimination, however in the field of culture, there are new opportunities to learn the Czech culture, customs and traditions. In the sphere of economics, the foreigners use different means or possibilities to obtain a job and their self-sufficiency. In the social field, they have the opportunity to meet and communicate with the local population, as well as with their countrymen. It was interesting to see how the process of integration is going on by each informant, although they all have a lot in common and have to overcome similar obstacles.
