Havránková, Zuzana ; Vrzáček, Petr (advisor) ; Mertl, Jiří (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with field social care services in the Šluknov region, the border region of the Ústí nad Labem County. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on mapping regional coverage by the field care service providers and identifying obstacles to the development of their capacities. One of the possible barriers to the development of providers' capacities is considered the insufficient demand from the target group, due to unfamiliarity of new concepts of field care. The aim of the empirical part of this diploma thesis is therefore to know the attitude of potential clients towards field care services and to find out the preferences of personal care type. Data collected by qualitative questioning techniques are analysed by triple coding and interpretation of resulting categories and their relationships. Research findings concludes that there is distrust amongst potential clients towards field care services and show a significant degree of unfamiliarity with these services. People in need for care in the region tend to prefer the established way of solution, i.e. to care with their own strength, then use the offer of residential care services. Since the perception of field care services by residents has an impact on its usage, recommendations are focused on adjustments to working...

SOCIAL SERVICES FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN IN THE REGION MORAVSKÉ BUDĚJOVICE
ŠRÁMKOVÁ, Jana
The theoretical part deals about family, social services by themselves, social services for families with chidren in Moravské Budějovice Region and about planning of social services. Its main goal is mapping the offer of social services for families with children in the region and finding out the level of acquaintance of family members with children with the offer of these services. Further, I tried to find out the most frequent source of information about social services for families with children in the region, what sort of services are preferred by families with children, and whether the offer of services in the region corresponds to the needs of parents.The offer of social services in the region has been mapped. It was found out that families with children are provided with three types of services, i. e. with the social services of registered providers, with the services to support functioning families and with the services within the framework of social and legal protection of children. The knowledge of these services in Moravské Budějovice is relatively high, unlike the village communities in the region where the knowledge of them is considerably low. Friends of parents are the most frequent source of information about social services in the region; in Moravské Budějovice itself also the Internet. Families with children make use of the services to support functioning families prevailingly, above all free-time activities for families as a whole. The parental needs in the region are not saturated enough, mainly from the reason of lacking services in the region that would satisfy these needs.

The comparison of social services for elderly in selected areas
SCHMIDTSCHLÄGER, Radim
Abstract Social services are rendered to those citizens, who require them considering their health, age or unfavourable social situation and who are unable of overcoming their social burdens and less than auspicious circumstances without external aid. Social services are essential not just because many people require them but particularly because were they not to be available, a large part of the public would lose their ability to participate in all aspects of life in a society. This would make it impossible for their human and civil rights to be upheld and lead to their exclusion from society. Social development, more favourable living standards, progress in the field of medicine and championing of social rights result in less people dying in childhood or at a productive age nowadays than before. It can be argued that the number of pensioners will be constantly increasing and that this is an accompaniment of a successfully developing civilisation. Because of their numbers, pensioners are becoming an exceptionally grave subject of social exclusion. It is therefore imperative that we realise the disadvantages the elderly face and devote appropriate attention to the issues surrounding the planning of social services. In terms of the set objective, it is necessary to evaluate and compare individual mid-term plans for the development of social services at certain locations and also to compare and evaluate the communal plans of selected cities. The dissertation proved that it is indeed necessary to pay due attention to the studied planning of social services. This is because there is a need to harmonise supply and demand in relation to social services. Ensuring the availability of a high-quality social services network for the elderly is only possible given the presence of a complex concept of social and medical care. One must however always take into consideration not just the current demographic trends but also the circumstances in the particular area as well as the degree of interest of the various subjects who are immediately involved in the issues surrounding the particular type of social services. One can undoubtedly say that the quality of social services on offer (not just for the elderly) is increasing both in relation to law No. 108/2006 Col. regarding social services but also in accordance with the recipients? wishes and demands.

Prognosis of social services in the demographic development context in the area of Vlachovo Březí municipality
PETRŮ, Libuše
Social care services in a certain region are highly affected by the demographic development. To evaluate the demand for social care services, the population, age structure, life expectancy, natality and mortality should be considered. There are 1691 inhabitants living in Vlachovo Březí as at 31 December 2008. Most social care services for the town residents are provided by other municipalities of the Prachatice district. The thesis was aimed at document analysis and a subsequent statistical procedure which, together with future demographic development, formed a basis for the prognosis of the demand for social care services in Vlachovo Březí at the age groups 0-7, 15-18 and 65+ years during the 2010-2020 period. The other goal was to find out the use of social care allowances by beneficiaries and financial costs of the allowances for 65+ age group in Vlachovo Březí. Based on the prognosis for single age groups and the evaluation of the current social services, the findings are as follows: As an early years child care service (0-7 years) does not exist in the district, a necessity of setting up such a facility, which will serve this age group in the district centre (Prachatice), can be expected. Social care services for the age group between 15-18 years are currently insufficient so to build a low-treshold facility should become a priority. The age group 65+ is supposed to grow. A senior home has not been established in Vlachovo Březí and the surroundings. There is a possible way in setting up a nursing home with a simultaneous enhancement of community care services. In addition, the research helped us discover the fact that expenses on the social care allowances are not spent effectively and financial costs of them will increase 1.5 times in the next 10 years. The future revaluation of a current system of the allowance payment or a dependancy rate of the beneficiaries seems to be necessary. There are 1184 beneficiaries in the Prachatice municipality with extended competence as at 31 December 2009. This thesis can serve as a draft plan of social care services in the region. It can also be helpful in further research into this topic and the dissemination of the research findings.

Influence of law of social services on supply and demand of social services in České Budějovice
SCHMIDTSCHLÄGER, Radim
Abstract Social services are not important because many people need them, but because without their influence a significant part of citizens could not participate in all aspects of social life. The exercise of their human and civic rights would be rendered impossible and their social separation would occur. Social services are provided to citizens who need them due to their health condition, age or difficult social situation and who are not able to overcome their burdensome situation or unfavourable background. The planned reform of social services whose outcome is Act no. 108/2006, Coll., on social services, aimed at three main activities {--} social services planning, a change in financing of social services and quality standards of social services. Within the set objective it was necessary to assess and compare the individual community plans of social services in České Budějovice for years 2005-2007 and further, for the period of 2008-2013, and on the basis of these findings to eliminate possible flaws in the course of development and the offer of social services in the given city. As an author of the thesis I suppose that the objective of this work has been achieved. The elaborated thesis verified the need of preparing a plan of city social services for the reason of its use for implementation of the middle-term regional plan.
