Social services represent one of the form of help to handicaped people. Social services are not so important they{\crq}re needed by many people but the reason is important part of the society couldn{\crq}t participate at all parts of society life without having social services implemented. Thereby there would be avoided claiming of birth rights and civil liberties and the handicaped people would be socially excepted without having social services implemented. Social services are provided to people who need it due to their health state or their age and those that can{\crq}t overcome tough social situation or unfavourable living conditions. Planned reform of social services whose outcome is the law about social services is focused on 3 main activities {--} planning of social services, change of social services funding, the quality standards of social services. Methodology ambiguity in planning system of social services in Czech Republic avoids the data comparison from individual plans of social services. The objective of the thesis was to compare the methodology of community planning of social services in the Region of South Bohemia for selected cities. There were performed the analysis of the methodology for planning of social services and the comparision of the individual plans of social services in the cities Tábor and Český Krumlov in the Region of South Bohemia by means of the secondary and content analyses of the realized community plans of social services in these cities.

(Abstract) This thesis is called "The importance of activation in seniors in field and outpatient social services" includes the theoretical part as a conceptualization of the empirical part. It describes the activities and services contained in the questionnaire survey. The results of the surfy, by using the questionnaires, confirmed the hypothesis. It can now be said that seniors are using outreach social services, they are more interested in activities more than seniors are using outpatient social services - in particular it is the physical activities of women over 85 years of age. In conclusion, the greatest interest was in physical activities which support the maintenance of mobility and hence the promotion of self-sufficiency.

Social services form an integral part of the social protection in the society. It might be perceived as a form of help provided to people who find themselves in difficulties and they are not able to get over this situation without the help of society. Social services help to socially handicapped persons to improve their living standard, alternatively to integrate them largely with the society. Social services also protect the society from the risks following from the disadvantaged persons. The core document for the field of social services in the Czech Republic is the law in force No 108/2006 about the social services. The object of my work is to sum up the general knowledge about the social services problems, but chiefly to find out if the provided social services in administrative ward of Vodňany are sufficient and what future progress of these services is possible. Research results show the Vodňany region to provide the services for seniors and handicapped persons sufficiently but there is total absence of special social consultancy service, meaning the civil advisory centre or low-threshold institution for children and young people and asylum residential facilities. From the practical point of view the diploma work can be used as the information source for the inhabitants of the Vodňany region, either in the form of booklets or information leaflets. In my opinion it is also usable for secondary and further school students and university students as a study material within the tuition. It can be also used as a feedback for the providers and clients of social services in the Vodňany region.

The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the standard of marketing planning in social services facilities established by the citizens? association o.s. Prevent. The objective was to find out whether such planning is performed and, if so, how and in which areas. In my research I focused on identification opportunities, risks, weaknesses and strengths of the individual facilities by means of a situation analysis, which enables to set the main pillars of the future marketing strategy. Further, I evaluated the provided services by interviewing a user of the services about the quality of service provided by o. s. Prevent facilities. The research was performed in facilities providing services in the drug addiction area on the territory of the South Bohemian region. Marketing as such was always primarily used in the profit sector. Currently, however, it has also entered the sector of non-profit organizations. The process is often accompanied by skepticism, which is based on a superficial view of the purpose of marketing management and also on the dominant position of the service providers in the region which means that they are not sufficiently motivated to use marketing. The method used for the research was collection of qualitative data. The data were collected by means of non-standardized questionnaires. Another research technique was interviewing. Additionally, directors of the individual facilities filled out tables for the situation analysis and clients of the facilities filled out non-standardized questionnaires with open questions. The research has shown that the individual facilities fail to use in their planning the structured mechanisms of marketing planning. Their planning is based on the necessity to meet requirements set by the law and in many cases their approach to the planning is rather intuitive. The quality of planning then depends on capabilities of directors of the individual facilities. A strong motivation element in favor of development of marketing strategies of the facilities might be the lack of financial means. On the other hand, the lack of funds also threatens introduction of new marketing activities in those facilities. Therefore it is necessary to think about the ways of effective generation of funds by their secondary economic activities. The research has confirmed the client´s satisfaction which is a significant indicator of quality of the provided services and of properly performed work by the facility. However, for a more efficient comparison comparative studies should be performed comparing the services with those of other facilities of similar type; this is the only way to prepare the facility for the ever more competitive market of providers of the services in the future. For the future structured planning it is essential to set some objectives. The objectives should be as specific and detailed as possible. The objectives should be measurable and comparable as only such objectives will enable to work on an effective and long-term strategy for the facilities.

The new law about social services, that is effective since 1st January 2007, brought series of changes into the Czech social services system. These changes should contribute to modernizing and improving the quality of provided social services. Improving of the quality happens via implementing standards for quality in social services, that are sets of measurable and verifiable criteria. Verification of completing standards runs at the place where social services are provided and it is called quality inspection. Graduation theses analyses three runs of testing inspections, that proceeded in 2002, 2004 -- 2005, 2006 -- 2007 in the Czech Republic. Analysis evaluates the best and the worst completed standards, regional location of providers, where there the inspections were performed, and general fruitfulness of providers of social services at inspection. There are mentioned recommendations, which came out of the inspection analysis.
