Lifestyle of immigrants and recognized refugees Migration can be defined as more or less terminated process moving of people among places which are determinated by state borders. It is the process when person or group of people leave their land to find better place for living. Each person has his or her own lifestyle and it is one of the basic factors that influences the quality of living. The lifestyle is formed during life when is a person in interaction with enviroment. The theory is further split into 6 main chapters that involve all issues of lifestyle of immigrants and recognized refugees. The history of migration to the Czech Republic is analyzed, asylum processing and the most important lifestyle of national minorities is mentioned. In the last chapter of theoretical part integration of immigrants and asylum seekers in the Czech Republic is mentioned. The practical part is devoted to the research and it was dedicated to lifestyle of immigrants and asylum seekers in the Czech Republic and in their domicile of origin. The aim of the thesis was to compare lifestyle of immigrants and asylum seekers in the Czech Republic and in their domicile of origin. The hypothetical assumption suggested that lifestyle of immigrants and asylum seekers is the same in the Czech Republic as in their domicile of origin. The regions of the research were South Bohemian region, Plzeň region and Ústí nad Labem region. To prove or invalidate the hypothesis a method of questionnaire was used. 100 people were accosted and they received questionnaire to fill in it during four months. I received 64 questionnaires back. After evaluation of the questionnaires I came to the result that people who had filled the questionnaire have the same lifestyle in the Czech Republic as in their domicile of origin. The hypothesis was proved. Public, students of social school and their educators will be introduced with the results. I would recommend to focuse individual social work because each person has different needs. Easygoing integration into Czech society coheres with reaction of Czech people as well. My work could be used as text book referring about national minorities living in the Czech Republic. At the end of the thesis there are some supportive documents related to my work. It is neccesary to know that the more we can help foreigners to integrate themselves and we adopt them as our fellow-citizens the faster they will feel at {\crqq}home{\crqq} in the Czech Republic.

Denna studie undersöker fenomenet livsstilsmigration från stad till landsbygd i Sverige. Studien knyter samman tidigare forskning inom området kontraurbanisering och livsstilsmigration med särskilt fokus på Sverige. Vidare dras nytta av sociologiska teorier kring senmodernitet, livsstil, kapitalformer, stress och stresshantering samt teori kring rummet. Studien utnyttjar den hermeneutiska ansatsen för att svara på frågeställningen vilka motiv leder till att individer flyttar från stora städer till landsbygd. Studiens empiriska material består av fem djupintervjuer med individer som under senaste decenniet har flyttat från en storstad till en landsbygd. Avsikten med djupintervjuer var att förstå varför och hur individer fattar ett beslut om att flytta från en storstad till landsbygd, det vill säga vilka individuella och omgivande faktorer som hade betydelse för deras beslut. Studien syftar även på att få en detaljerad förklaring kring hur dessa individer upplever den moderna staden samt hur de upplever dagens landsbygd. Klyftan i individernas upplevelse av stadslivet som konnoteras med bl.a. överdriven konsumtion, högt tempo, ensamhet och otrygghet och upplevelse av lantlivet som kopplas ihop med bl.a. natur, frihet, äkthet och lugnet, beskriver anledningar till besluten av att välja landsbygd som en plats där man kan leva ett bättre, fylligare liv.
