Matuštíková, Anna ; Kváča, Vladimír (advisor) ; Ditrych Lenc, Michaela (referee)
This thesis is a case study with a goal to comprehensively map and depict the evolution of the so- called non-supplement zones.

In this thesis, the problematique is viewed both on policy and politics level, both on national and local level, using the theory of the policy process, agenda setting, and the multiple streams theory. Under examination are also the levels of discourses and framing of the problem. To demonstrate a local context, there was chosen the case of the Kladno municipality, which holds a specific position in the context since it is the first city in the Czech Republic that decided to declare this general provision on its entire territory.

Social housing problems
Müller, Erik ; Hlaváček, Michal (advisor) ; Filip, Ondřej (referee)
The motivation of this paper is to explore the assumptions of an effective social policy which is efficient, economical and persistent. The theoretical part is based on comparison of the different realizations of social housing in Europe and in the Czech Republic. New trends from abroad show that the efficiency of resocialization depends on the quality of the social works, which are performed simultaneously with the provision of housing. Nowadays, the role of social housing in a society changes. The instrument of social policy becomes a complex tool that may determine, among other things, high building standards as well as increase general social cohesion. The identified aspects of effectiveness are compared with the new proposal of the Social Housing Act. The innovation is the concept of Housing First, which emphasizes fast provision of dwelling and subsequent individual work with the client. The practical part verifies several hypotheses that led to the formulation of the Act, using econometric models. My goal is to contribute into public discussion by proposing specific innovative approaches. They may lead to the successful reintegration of socially excluded into society. What should be the main goal of social housing.

Analysis of the changes and their impact on the payment system of housing benefits and supplements for housing in the Czech Republic in the years 2011-2017
Havelková, Tereza ; Štípek, Vladimír (advisor) ; Chmelová, Pavla (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of social benefits for housing from the social security system in the Czech Republic. Social policy, including the area of housing support, has to respond to the current development of the economy and social problems of society in order to maintain social cohesion and therefore it is necessary to continuously evaluate the results of the adopted measures, which is the aim of this thesis. The theoretical part focuses on the development of state housing support, key legislative changes in the requirements for housing benefit and supplement for housing, the phenomenon of misuse of these benefits and the associated poverty industry. The practical part follows the subsequent development of the amount and volume of benefits paid over time in connection with the adopted measures. These measures set stricter rules for the payments of a supplement for housing and partly limited its abuse, though for the sustainability of public finances it is necessary to take further measures aimed at providing aid only to those who need it necessarily. The main contribution of this thesis is the evaluation of past reforms, the proposal of further measures for efficiency improvement of state support for housing and the evaluation of adopted concept of social housing in the Czech Republic.
