Homelessness. Probes to Excluded Environments

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In this monograph, we build on our studies that combine two formats of approach to the research. Applied research predominates over basic research. Their common subject of interest is the issue of homelessness, which is associated with a specific place, namely the city of Pilsen. The first chapter, ‘Introduction’, presents the reader the book structure and the basic research terminology in the area of homelessness. The Chapter Two, ‘The Phenomenon of Homelessness’, reflects the research that we carried out in 2013–2014. This study is the result of our first stronger and more extensive research input into the homeless environment. We realised the second research topic presented here in the Third Chapter, ‘Latent Homelessness’, in 2014–2015. This appears in the second chapter. This is a follow-up study on ‘Manifest Homelessness’. The Fourth Chapter, ‘Mapping Needs, Satisfaction and Expectations, and Prediction of Developments in the Area of Social Services in Pilsen’, brings forth research from 2016. In carrying out the research, we sought to provide data on the basis of which it would be possible for the city to set long-term plans for working with socially needy groups. The aim, therefore, was to provide a representative sample of the population of the City of Pilsen in order to ensure the efficient use of funds in providing assistance to persons seeking social inclusion or preventing possible social exclusion. Attention was therefore paid not only to the homeless (obvious/latent), but also to other groups that are at risk of homelessess. The individual chapters show how the reception of the homeless theme gradually settled in the agenda of the City of Pilsen and gradually became more topical. This contributed to the need not only for follow-up studies but also for extended-themed studies. The third chapter is an example of this. The Fifth Chapter, ‘When respondents are asked about what reasons led to their homelessness, what do they mean when they choose the category ‘other’ as their response?’, brings forth research conclusions from 2018, which were, contrary to previous procedures, implemented strictly on the basis of qualitative methods. The main goal was to verify some of the uncertainties in the research results of ‘Latent Homelessness’. The final chapter of this publication (Chapter Seven), ‘Does Higher Deprivation Increase Religiosity? Case Study of Homeless people in Pilsen’, is related to the applied research that is included in this book. While collecting data in an environment of apparent homelessness, i.e. in the environment of a group of people who mostly do not ask for anything because of unavailability, we took the opportunity to investigate whether the deprivation theory applies to the religiosity of the actors and what role religiosity plays in the lives of homeless people.
