The main factors which influence these social and health facilities during the planning of social and health services are a demographic prognosis, the social structure of its inhabitants, the informal support and solidarity within the family, and also the geographic profile of the region, urbanization, human settlement and the extent of municipality. The planning of social and health services has to follow modern principles in social services which are widely used in Western Europe. The goal of this thesis is to undertake research in the capacity and quality of health and social services and the use of these services by seniors in the region. The next goal is to see if modern European principles are applied in the social and health services in the region. This research was carried out though the analysis of documents and methods of questioning. This research has shown that there is a lack of institutional social and health services in the region. Also modern European principles have not been applied in the social and health services.

In my thesis I deal with the integration of health and social services. I introduced the issue of two/double departmental service management and their financing, there. In addition, I described the various actors involved in the integration of services, mentioned strategic documents and legislation related to the provision of health and social care. In the case study, I mapped the health and social services provided in Louny, through street-level bureaucrats I gained information about the interconnection of services in Louny and about the factors that affect the implementation of integration of services in the town. For successful implementation of integration, it is necessary to specify the users of integrated health and social services, to create a home base for them, to provide a flexible range of services and at the same time to support the informally caring families. The lack of demand for integrated services is linked to other factors such as ignorance of citizens and low participation in caring for close relatives. Street.level bureaucrats in health and social services do not know the integration of services, they do not encounter it in practice, this factor has an impact on the motivation of street-level bureaucrats to make changes in the provision of care. An important factor is also the...

The theme of the thesis is the issue of planning social services for people affected by Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia in the territory of the Hradec Králové region. Alzheimer's disease is among the most common causes of dementia, and the number of patients with the disease continues to grow. It is the increase in the number of clients with the disease that creates a new challenge to ensure the availability of social services, so that an individual approach is maintained in view of the patients' specific needs. The thesis contains a theoretical and an empirical part. The theoretical part briefly describes the clinical picture of Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, this section focuses on the incidence of dementia both globally and in the territory of Europe.

It includes an explanation of basic concepts such as: social services, social services network, community planning. As the work deals with care planning in the Hradec Králové region, the Mid-Term Plan for...

Inledning: Samhällsplanering är i Sverige en stor anledning till att fysisk inaktivitet, övervikt och fetma har ökat i befolkningen. Den dagliga motionen har minskat avsevärt eftersom samhället är utformat så att individer inte ska behöva anstränga sig fysiskt. En hälsofrämjande och trygg samhällsplanering som möjliggör för fysisk aktivitet och aktiv transport är de viktigaste folkhälsoinsatserna för att kunna motivera individer till mer fysisk aktivitet. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka hur kommunala och ideella aktörer upplevde att samhällsplaneringen påverkade vuxnas fysiska aktivitet och trygghet i Trelleborgs kommun.  Metod: Studien var av kvalitativ ansats med ett tvåstegsurval. Det genomfördes nio semistrukturerade intervjuer med sammanlagt 10 intervjudeltagare. Det empiriska materialet analyserades med en manifest innehållsanalys. Resultat: Det framkom tre kategorier som besvarade hur samhällsplaneringen upplevdes påverka vuxnas fysiska aktivitet och trygghet i Trelleborgs kommun, nämligen: 1) Fysiska påverkansfaktorer såsom möjligheter till fysisk aktivitet och aktiv transport i närmiljö; 2) Sociala påverkansfaktorer såsom upplevd trygghet; och 3) Insatser för ökad trygghet och fysisk aktivitet som belyser kommunens pågående hälsoarbete samt behov och efterfrågan gällande en ökad trygghet och fysisk aktivitet. Slutsats: En samhällsplanering som främjar möjligheter till trygg aktiv transport och fysisk aktivitet i hela kommunen kan sannolikt öka vuxnas fysiska aktivitet. Aktiv transport framkom som den motionsform som är lättast för individer att anamma och vidmakthålla samt lyftes även fram som en viktig del att främja för att nå ökad fysisk aktivitet och en hälsosammare viktutveckling i kommunen. / Introduction: Community planning is a major reason why physical inactivity, overweight and obesity have increased in the population.

Arbetet kom till av att det genom samtal med boende uppmärksammats problem i form av en sämre fungerande trafik i området Öster Mälarstrand i Västerås. Eftersom dessa problem kan anses ha en koppling till miljömässig hållbarhet, vore det intressant att undersöka hur lösningar kan bidra till en mer hållbar samhällsutveckling för detta område. Syftet är att finna lösningar på de problem som hittades, och att dessa lösningar ska bidra till att skapa ett mer miljömässigt hållbart bostadsområde.  Som metod för detta arbete genomförs ett antal intervjuer, studiebesök och en enkätundersökning. Dessa utförs dels för att höra inblandade planerares åsikter, boendes åsikter och för att med egna ögon se området. En litteraturstudie genomförs också, främst för att undersöka hur andra arbetat med hållbarhetsfrågor i trafikplaneringen och för att se hur utvecklingen av hållbara transportlösningar i dagsläget ser ut. Resultatet visar vad respondenterna tycker om området och vilka önskemål de har gällande förändringar i trafiken. Här visade det sig att delen flest boende var missnöjda med var kollektivtrafiken. Många av de tillfrågade ansåg att kollektivtrafikens planering hade hamnat i skymundan och att busslinjen i området hade för låg turtäthet. En annan del som några av de boende var missnöjda med var parkeringssituationen i området. Av de tillfrågade i intervjuerna hade alla respondenter egen parkering, men några hade svårigheter att förse sina besökare med parkering. Som en del i arbetet presenteras även lösningarna här. Dessa lösningar består av förändringar i trafiken i delar som gång- och cykeltrafik, kollektivtrafik, biltrafik och parkeringar. Lösningarna som presenteras är bland annat uppdelade gång-/cykelbanor, insättningar av kortare elbussar i området, ett större utbud av bilpool, samt fler elbilsparkeringar och cykelparkeringar. I diskussionen tas bland annat faktorer som osäkerhet i studien upp, samt skillnader i utveckling av hållbara transportlösningar mellan Sverige och andra länder. Även framtida problem i form av ökad elförbrukning vid större användning av elbilar, och högre trafikflöde i området då den nya skolan byggts klart tas upp här. Slutsatsen blir att åsikter gällande hur ett område planerats kan skilja sig åt beroende på om frågan ställs till planerare eller boende. Enligt intervjuer och enkäter är de flesta som bor i Öster Mälarstrand nöjda med sitt boende, men många har någon synpunkt på hur trafiken planerats. Fortsatta studier kunde visa om liknande problem även finns i andra städer och hur dessa städer arbetat med frågorna. / Purpose: The purpose of this degree project is finding sustainable solutions to problems regarding the traffic planning in a residential area called Öster Mälarstrand, in Västerås. These solutions are meant to help with sustainable societal development by presenting changes that favour environmentally friendly modes of transport. Method: For making this study interviews and a survey was made to perceive problems that was experienced within the area. These were made with a planner involved in the area, and with people living in the area. Study visits were also conducted as part of the study. For creating solutions, a literature study about how to develop sustainable traffic alternatives has also been performed. Results: The results show a summary of what the respondents think about Öster Mälarstrand and their wishes of things that could be changed within the area, regarding traffic. Residents are mainly dissatisfied with the planning and performance of public transport in the area. Regarding their dissatisfaction with public transport the reasons are low frequencies and long distances to bus stops. Solutions to problems that was experienced is also presented, with emphasis on making these solutions more environmentally sustainable alternatives. These solutions show changes in the planning of walking and cycling, public transport, motor traffic and parking spaces. Conclusions: The conclusion of this study is that the opinions of planners of a residential area and of the people living there can be quite different. When creating a new area for people to live it’s not easy to make everyone satisfied, but regarding traffic planning, some parts, like public transport, are essential to make the infrastructure work in the best way possible. Further studies in other cities could show if similar problems exist elsewhere and what could be made there to improve them.

The work deals with constructing of participatory spaces in the process of urban development planning. The topic of involving citizens into planning is viewed from the point of planners. A concept of participation in this text is conceived in the sense of invented spaces built from above. The research perspective is an interpretative one, anchored in the constructivist epistemology. Therefore the main question is: How do planners reflect involving citizens in the planning? Firstly, the authoress demonstrates the importance of her topic by putting it into the context of wider social dynamics related to the crises of representative democracy and emerging of sub-politics. She reveals that the trend of building participatory opportunities is strengthening. The important question is formulated: How is the role of public in the strategic planning constructed? On the base of analytical induction of semi-structured interviews with planners, the authoress creates her own typology of ideal-type approaches to participation. These types of approaches came out from a distinction of the extent and the aim of spaces of participation. The involvement of citizens can be seen either as building of community, activation of elites, mapping of public preferences or as consultation with local experts.
