  • Analýza Motivace Sociálně Vyloučených K Zapojení Se Do Projektu Street-Paper
    Analýza motivace sociálně vyloučených k zapojení se do Projektu street-paper Ivana Pejřová Bakalářská práce 2013 ABSTRAKT Bakalářská práce je zaměřena na motivaci sociálně vyloučených lidí k zapojení se do spo- lečenského života. Problematika sociálně vyloučených lidí je hojně diskutovaným, ale málo řešeným tématem na poli aktuálních otázek soužití lidské společnosti. Práce se opírá o dosavadní poznatky z oblasti projektů street-paper, o problematiku sociálně vyloučeného člověka, motivaci a motivační teorie. Existuje již jisté procento těchto sociálně vylouče- ných, kteří se tyto bariéry rozhodli překonat vstupem do projektu street-paper., konkrétně v České republice prodejem časopisu Nový prostor. Práce vychází z teoretických prací a průzkumů, které se zabývají street-paperovými projekty a sociálně vyloučenými lidmi, a následně jsem se prostřednictvím empirického šetření v praktické části práce pokusila po- tvrdit či vyvrátit mnou stanovené předpoklady. Klíčová slova: Street-paper projekt, časopis, sociálně vyloučený člověk, bezdomovectví, motivace. ABSTRACT The bachelor thesis is focused on the reasons why the socially excluded people want to participate in social life. The issue of socially excluded people is widely discussed, but it is rarely being solved at the field of human society co-existence. The work is based on the existing findings concerning the street-paper projects, on the issue of socially excluded people, and on motivation and motivational theories. There is already a certain percentage of these socially excluded people, who decided to overcome the barriers and decided to enter the street-paper project, for example the people selling the magazine Nový proctor in the Czech Republic. The work is based on theoretical background and on a research deal- ing with street paper projects and socially excluded people.

However, within this collaborative, as in society in general, the voices campaigning for the needs of homeless youth are in the minority. AUnfortunately, it appears that this minority voice is not given the attention equal to the importance of its cause. As with any crisis, early intervention is its key to long-term success. When it comes to homeless youth the facts are simple: services in the city of Chicago are falling far behind the need. Because of this gross deficiency in services it is safe to assume that many of the homeless youth of today will be the homeless adults of tomorrow.

Framing homelessness and housing as a crisis intensified the public debate, attested by an increase in mainstream media reports on tent cities, and by controversial policy changes that addressed the individually-experienced traumatic impacts of the City‟s anti-camping ordinance, as well as the systemic lack of affordable housing and emergency shelter.
