- Homelessness Homelessness is regarded as an extreme form of poverty and social exclusion and thus also as a serious social matter. It has recently become the public policy issue as well as a concern of the wider public and the academy. The activities of homeless people significantly shape urban environment. Still, study of the time-space practices of the homeless people in Czechia is systematically neglected. So far there have dominated the studies of the spatial distibution of the phenomenon at the national level or at the level of particular cities. What is the role of space in the lives of the homeless population? What factors undermine the production of their living spaces and how are these spaces being formed in the everyday practice? These questions still await our reply. The project is thus concerned with the study of the everyday time-space practices of homeless in the urban environment of Prague with the emphasis on the present. The project aim is the analysis of time-space practices of homeless and its undermining factors. Homeless is for the need of the present project defined as a person, whose time-space practices are situated mostly in outer environment of city (i.e. streets, parks, places etc.) and who lacks a lasting accomodation. The emphasis is being placed on the identification of the causes of the daily mobility patterns. In the first year of the project the theoretical and methodological framework is worked up. In the second year the fieldwork is conducted. The analysis of the undermining factors of the daily mobility takes place in the second and the third year of the project.October 19, 201300
Historka
Zkusím napsat zvláštní historku, abych se naučila se nováé slova. (Jde o souvětí dvou vět. Před "aby, abych apod." píšeme čárku)
Můuž šel po ulici a počítal ptáky nav obloze. On byýl vysoký, v černém oděvu a klobouku. Protože A byýl on také zaneprázdněný sčítáním (nebo spíše "počítáním"), že nespatřil velkého psa, který velmi rychle běžeěl k němu. A už vzadu tohoto zvláštní pána utíkal od psa zrzavý kocour. (<-- Tato věta nedává smysl.)Můuž a pes narazili. Když můž uviděl toho psa, chtěl také utíkat.
Najednou Naráz (I think that you want to say "suddenly". That is why I would prefer "najednou" or "zničehonic") začalo pršetl dešt, i když byla jasná obloha.
Pes utekl, kocour se zachránil se a pán odešel domů.

Učím se češtinu. To je slovanský jazyk jako ukrajinština - můj rodný jazyk. Mysliím, že to bude snazší se (jí) učiít se. Tyto jazyky jsou si také podobné, ale také se různíé. První obtížnost překážkou je psaní, protože v české abecedě jesou hodně záabavných (spíše "zvláštních" nebo "netradičních") písmen: á, í, é, ý, ů, ř, š, ě... a ještě několik. Nevím, kdy je psát a kdy nepsaát...
Omlouvám se, že mám hodně chyb :) Jsem jen začínající."Omlouvám se, že dělám hodně chyb :-) Jsem jen začátečnice."
Myslím si, že píšeš hezky a srozumitelně :-)

V poslední větě je správně "... jakékoliv ..."!0 votedJune 10, 20132
- Law matters, but where? It´s often taken for granted, that law is binding everywhere. By this I mean that people usually think of a law as universaly binding to any given place in a given jurisdiction. In regard to this general claim, I would like to point out, that this might be true in some cases, but what is substantial, is the context. In other words, the question is "Where a law binds?". Let me begin with a city. If you live in a city or are interested in it, as it should be almost sure these days, then you might try to pay a slight piece of attention, when it comes f. e. to the sorrounding of the place where you live. Are there any places where you are not supposed to walk? Can you do everything in your beloved park? Because I live in Prague and have a dog, I find a lot of restrictions on free movement of dogs in many places. Some of them are legal norms, some of them "only" social norms. Therefore, I usually ask myself, who sets these norms? Why are they there? Who benefit from them? Can I change them? These are questions, which spring to my mind very often. I haven´t been able to answer them clearly. The only thing I know is, that somewhere we can move freely and somewhere not.May 28, 201300
Security vs Privacy
In the fight against crime, the increase in Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV in advance) cameras at public places is thought to be recommended. In this way, whereas they appear only in banks, museums, jeweller’s and at high-security places until a few years ago, nowadays it is very common to see them in public places such as small businesses, parks, shopping centers, petrol stations, underground,… I have seen them even at schools and streets. Many people are opposed to this, saying that it invades our privacy. What do you think about it? I am inclined to believe that, like all things in life, it has its positive and negative side.
As a general rule, people behave better when they know that they are being observed. In this regard, it is impossible not to assume CCTV cameras as a good way to instill civility into society. However, would not it be better if people behave well without the necessity of installing cameras? To my way of thinking, it would be better for the society and to the fight against crime, to educate and to teach good manners to our children and young, than to install CCTV cameras everywhere. Not only it would be a more long-time solution, but it would also it would be more economic.
On the other hand, criminals can be deterred, caught or even identified through the information recorded by theses cameras. That information helps to reduceing crime and consequently to make the streets safer for people. Nevertheless, Whether the information is a good thing depends on the person who has it. Therefore, for instance, corrupt authorities could use any information in the wrong way or twist it to victimize people.
Finally, as was previously stated, many people think theses cameras affect our privacy. It is thought that we should be free to travel or move around the world without being recorded by cameras. That is a human right that could be seen as a deprived right at the moment we are being 24 hours a day observed.
To conclude, it is important to remember that nothing in this life can have the absolute truth. So, cameras can not be the solution: I think we need to work in future generation’s education, in human right maintenance and in reducing crime (not only with cameras but also with new human methods). If we work in one direction with all our tools, we will achieve more and better goals.0 votedMay 28, 20133
