Vajdová, Zdenka

Sociological research of local government and the electoral results support a conclusion that a number of women in the representative bodies of the municipalities and the regions increases and in a European context it is somewhere in between. The women representation is larger in smaller municipalities and they are elected as a Mayor more frequently than in the larger ones.

Při uvažování o sociologické kategorii sociálního kapitálu je třeba brát v úvahu jeho dvě základní polohy. V první řadě kontakty, sociální sítě s důrazem na formální členství v dobrovolných organizacích, v druhé řadě pak jakousi formu psychologického majetku jednotlivce či skupiny, důvěru jak v ostatní občany, tak ve společenské instituce a celou komunitu

The article deals with social network analysis of the public, private and non-profit institutions that are considered the most important actors in local development. The study was carried out in three small Czech towns. The conclusions indicate the unconditional significance of local public administration institutions and a significance of the other local institutions; the relations toward the extra-local institutions are rather weak.

The chapter deals with a comparison of theoretical claims on processual features of community care planning and the reality of their application in praxis. The participative features of the process are accentuated in the chapter. The author shows that there exist some institutional specifics in the social care system in the Czech Republic which make the implementation of participatory ideals difficult.

The electoral programmes of the political parties and the Government declaration from 2006 were subjected to content analysis. The aim was to find the selected key words in the documents as cooperation, trust, cohesion etc. that point to a respect to the principles of democratic governance and citizens’ participation. The frequencies of the key words found in the documents are small and their context not convincing.
