This thesis deals with the public greenery, its division, forms, function, protection and revitalization. Public green is displayed, in this thesis, as an integral part of our everyday life, which is necessary to protect and avoid its destruction due to any development and which is necessary to preserve, maintaine and rebuilt as much as possible. The aim of this thesis is to design a revitalisation study of public greenery in Blatná. For this purpose, were used findings from all various literature sources and also knowledge about the town and the location which is solved in this thesis. Thanks to this work it was possible to gather information about the history and present state of the territory and suggest revitalization based on this knowledge. The designed revitalization of the selected locality is designed so that the area integrates and fulfils the requirements of the local community, both in terms of necessary parking and preservation of greenery. The revitalized area reflects the modern concept of the natural creation of public greenery with its functional use in the form of edible trees and herbs.

Community nursing contribution to the support of active old-age In connection with the growing tendency of the number of seniors in the Czech Republic the necessity to keep the senior generation active and self-sufficient as long as possible arises. The activities of geriatric nurses have been currently conducted by nurses of general practitioners and nurses of home-care agencies. However, in the primary care, community nurses would be of use, as they are abroad. We have ascertained what seniors themselves, the younger public but also nurses and students expect from a community nurse in the support of active old age. In the qualitative part of the research we used the technique of a semi-structured interview while in the quantitative part we used the questionnaire technique. We have managed to find answers to the research questions set out at the beginning of the research: the public expects a community nurse to provide nursing and health care together with assistance in the social field; the public expects a community nurse to focus on education in the field of a healthy lifestyle and therapeutic regimen; seniors expect broader social assistance provided by a community nurse than the younger public; financial security, healthy diet and physical activity constitute a form of preparation of the younger public for their old age; the younger public wants to be informed by a community nurse about preparation for old age. We have also confirmed the hypotheses raised by us: 1) Nurses prefer a community nurse to undertake the role of a provider of (required) care rather than the role of an educator in the support of active old age. 2) Students of the 3rd grade of study branch ``General Nurse{\crqq} of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies of the University of South Bohemia (ZSF JU) prefer a community nurse to undertake the role of an educator in the support of active old age rather than the role of a provider of (required) care. The results may serve for further researches, may be the inspiration for educational programmes and courses in the field of community care of seniors or may serve for development of community planning in the support of active old age. They will certainly contribute to a change of the view of a nurse working with a senior community.

I am about to devote this dissertation to the issues of social services planning in Písek as a provincial city with focus on handicapped people. My aim is to find out whether and under what conditions it would be possible to extend a timeframe of elaborated strategies at least to 15 years. Theoretical part is divided into four chapters. Firstly, I follow conception of social politics and social welfare during the time with future outlook. Then, the area of social services is being analysed - describing their evolution, legislative frame, interpretation of quality and ways of funding. Third chapter is dedicated to community planning, its foundations and principles. In last chapter I tend to target group - handicapped people. The aim of practical part is to find out not only under what conditions the timeframe of planning can be widen but also how exactly is social services planning being done and whether this process evolves towards better quality. All this by means of semistructured interviews with seven participants of social services planning in Písek. Respondents have been selected from the side of demand municipality of Písek and supply representants of non-governmental nonprofit organizations, church and region-donated organizations. Their posts varied from higher management to work force, both in current and previous years. Survey refers to demographic analysis of target group, respondents view of current planning timeframe´s sufficiency and whether quality level of that process is rising. Evaluated interviews showed that demographic analysis were professionally set up and last community planning in given area was significantly more successful compared with previous terms. This was achieved through cooperation with non-profit organization, its methodist and outside supervisor. Extension of current social planning timeframe can be possible, according to respondents, only if a long-term state-wide strategy gets formed, being regularly updated with action plans added for up to five years long period. Main obstacles for this are frequent changes in legislative and the issue of turbulent circumstances considering target group like people in crisis. However, for handicapped people and senior citizens extending the timeframe might be more possible considering stable situation and therefore usability of long-term statistical predictions.

This diploma thesis examines the role of paediatric nurses caring for newborns in the community. It aims to determine if and how newborn care in the home environment takes place and the role of the paediatric nurse. The research is based on one of the primary objectives set out by the member states of the WHO to improve the health of the entire population in the twenty-first century with the focus on community care and its development. The theoretical part is dedicated to the definition of community care and its history in the Czech Republic. We initially focus on how childcare at home was provided in the past. This is followed by a description of the current situation regarding care of a newborn and the mother during the first weeks following birth, both here and abroad. We evaluate the role of the paediatric nurse in terms of nursing care for newborns and research the duties that the nurse carries out within the clinic, family, and community.We have set out two objectives and five research questions. The first objective was to identify nursing care problems encountered by mothers at home and how they solve these problems. The second objective was set out in order to explore how nurses become involved in the community care of a newborn. We have chosen a qualitative method for the research part of the thesis. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews. Subsequently, a qualitative analysis and categorization of collected data was conducted. Two research sample groups were created in the first phase. The first consisted of mothers with newborns, i.e. children from birth to 28 days. The second group consisted of paediatric nurses who work in outpatient care with children and adolescents. The second phase of the research addressed paediatric nurses working in the neonatal clinic, which is run by the hospital's paediatric department. The result of our thesis is the finding that community care provided by the paediatric nurse in the field, in a natural environment and with the cooperation of the entire family and community, as defined, is almost nonexistent. The long-established system of primary care directs all nursing work into the surgeries of the paediatric practitioner, and only the first visit to the newborn, but not in all cases, is conducted at home. This system is insufficient to cover all the specifics of childcare. The needs of the newborns and their parents are becoming more urgent and in the first weeks following the birth the mothers only very slowly begin to gain healthy self-esteem and confidence in their maternal abilities, hence the need for an individual approach and help in the proper care of their baby. They feel there is a lack of information and they do not know how to deal with the needs of their newborn. The most problematic issue described is breastfeeding. The addressed nurses are of the same opinion and also consider breastfeeding as the most common focus of their intervention, and therefore, the most important part of their work.We have discovered that the skills and competencies of the paediatric nurses are sufficient to enable them to become a relevant element in the comprehensive care of newborns within the community. The interventions delivered by the nurse are fully integrated into paediatric nursing.The parents of newborns would, according to our survey, prefer a home visit from health professionals, particularly if it concerns the first contact with the baby and family. The out-patient care does not provide enough time and space to pursue common nursing issues, therefore, home visits are an essential part of the care that should be offered to the mother and baby. Community nurses would help to coordinate the services provided to families as well as help solve the nursing issues that mothers encounter in the first weeks of their child's life. A paediatric nurse would, therefore, become a partner to the parents in a joint effort to ensure the healthy development of their child.

The diploma thesis focuses on the current situation in volunteering within the network of social services in Tábor, and on the elaboration of a volunteering development proposal based on the collected data. The theoretical part of the thesis gives an explanation of the concept of volunteering, its history, its situation in the Czech Republic and abroad, legislative background of volunteering and the most frequent spheres of volunteering activities. One of the spheres where volunteering plays an important role is the network of social services and social care, which was also surveyed within the theoretical part of the thesis. To describe the complexity of the investigated issue in a broader context, we included explanations of concepts connected with organized civil society as well as the reasons for the existence of the non-profit sector. The interrelations of all the concepts mentioned above are reflected in the process of planning social services within the community, which is also described in the thesis. Based on the secondary analysis of the Community Plan of Social Services of the City of Tábor 2011 ? 2013 (further on referred to as community plan) and on the websites of individual organizations engaged in social services, the practical part determines the research sample as well as the set of questions for the interview. The research results have been obtained on the basis of qualitative research strategy, using the method of questioning and the technique of semi-standardized interview. The questions concerning the problems of volunteering, its promotion in Tábor and the involvement of volunteers in the particular organization were answered by the representatives coming from all 25 non-profit organizations which are active in the sphere of social services in Tábor; all of them participate in the community plan. Some of the questions were aimed at the problems of volunteering in the community plan. The respondents were encouraged to express their proposals, ideas and recommendations related to volunteering development. The results indicated that more than a half of the organizations with an involvement in the community plan activities cooperate with volunteers. The reasons why other organizations do not work with volunteers are either of legislative or personnel character. The research also shows that it is necessary to pay special attention to volunteering promotion across all age categories of Tábor residents and observe new trends in volunteering, such as various forms of corporate volunteering or virtual volunteering. The collected data and their evaluation made it possible for the author to propose several steps which could lead to the improvement of the current state, especially if the data are used in the process of community planning. The results of the thesis will be used for meeting the objectives of the community plan and by individual organizations providing social services in Tábor. At the same time they can inspire the residents of Tábor to take an active part in volunteering.

Long-term care for the elderly people is a widely discussed topic in recent years not only among health professionals but also by the general public. And it will not change in the future. According to the Czech Statistical Office (2012) in 2050, the population aged over 65 will double and the population older than 85 years even quintuple. This work deals with long-term care for the elderly from the perspective of nursing, for the current demographic trends affect it significantly. Long-term hospitalization of the elderly in medical facilities is linked to many complications, not only physiological, but also psychological, social and spiritual. The aim of the thesis entitled "Long-term care for the elderly in nursing perspective" was to find out what the nurses in long-term care for seniors consider as the greatest problems, if they would welcome a change in competences in long-term care for the elderly, and to obtain an opinion about the long-term institutional care and long-term home care. Individual opinions of nurses from different departments were compared; what kind of solution to the current problems of long-term care for the elderly the nurses propose themselves. Objective 1: Find out what the sisters find as the most crucial problem in long-term care for seniors. Objective 2: Determine whether nurses feel the necessity for change in nursing competences in the management of long-term ill elderly. Goal 3: Find out what is the opinion of nurses about long-term institutional care for the elderly compared to long-term community care at home. The main research question based on the research problem and the research objectives was defined as follows: What is the prospect of long-term care for the elderly in terms of nursing? I decided for an exploratory approach. I was looking for another connection to general research question and examined them in depth. I decomposed this relatively broad topic covered by the research questions into several specific questions: 1. Will it be necessary to make additional changes in financing long-term care, due to a growing demographic age of the population increases? 2. Could nurses in long-term care for the elderly take over certain powers previously belonging to doctors? 3. Will the importance of providing nursing care long-term ill seniors at home increase? 4 Should be a long-term care for the elderly moved out of hospitals to specialized facilities? 5. Will it be necessary to increase the number of health care facilities with the focus on long-term care because of the growing number of senior citizens? 6. In connection with the increasing number of hospitalized elderly, will medical facilities have enough of gadgets? For the research was chosen a qualitative interview method. Nurses from various departments were interviewed and the outcomes were processed using the content analysis. Sisters? perspective on a long-term nursing care for elderly is: closer connection of health and social services, to increase quality of care, to strengthen the autonomy of elderly, dignified care for the elderly, increased use of home care and informing the general public about it, streamlining communication with seniors and their families, safer environment and to increase the motivation of nurses to provide the highest quality of nursing care.
