The paper aims to fill in the gap existing in the Czech Republic as for the research about the nature and impacts of the LEADER approach. The focus of the paper is to show how farming and agriculture related activities are addressed under the LEADER scheme in the European context and how does the LEADER influence the position of farming and related industries in rural development. Such outline is considered as the starting point for in-depth research in the LEADER in Czechia. To achieve such goal, the paper analyses the reports about the corresponding projects published in the Leader+ Magazine (edited by Leader+ Observatory). The analysis documents that LEADER supports collaborative actions. It is obvious that the farmers mostly participate in projects aiming at adding value to local product but they are not too active in improvement of the quality of life in rural areas. It opens the room for non-farming actors for their higher participation in rural development and thus it supports the reformulation of Common Agricultural Policy.

Low Efficiency

Abstract. Introduction. Analytical study of the current state of rural areas allows us to identify a number of socio-economic problems: the low efficiency of the implementation of modern mechanisms and methods of state management of rural development, the lack of necessary methods to assess the effectiveness of their development. These problems dramatically increase the need to find approaches that can ensure the development of rural areas, vectors of sustainable development of agricultural enterprises of various forms of management. Qualitative improvement of the organizational and economic potential of rural development is objectively necessary in the overall system of solving the problems of management of spatial development of territories, the quality of life of the population. The purpose is to systematize features, conditions of formation of organizational and economic potential for development of vectors of improvement of management of social and economic development of rural territories. To achieve this goal, a list of the following tasks is defined: a review of a set of scientific approaches; determination of the directions of realization of possibilities of indicative approach in an assessment of efficiency; the organizational and economic mechanism of management of potential of rural territory. Methods. The paper uses generally recognized research methods: monographic review of various sources, abstract and logical generalization, economic and statistical, regulatory processes of formation and implementation of organizational and economic potential of rural areas. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the formulation and solution of the question of the need to determine and assess the quality characteristics of the potential of rural areas through the use of tools and mechanisms of an indicative approach. Results. An important condition for the implementation of an effective policy of organizational and economic potential of rural areas is a system of strategic measures and proposals to improve the competitiveness of the rural economy, improve the quality of life in rural areas. Management of rural development is based on the principles of regulation, the interaction of potential elements with the institutional environment. Summary. The monographic review of the literature allowed to systematize measures to improve the level of socio-economic stability; development of strategic programs for the development of rural areas with the definition of indicators of economic growth, indicators of improving the quality of life of the population; evaluation of options and opportunities for the transition to a new socio - economic situation of rural areas.

First Case

The chapter presents the problem of quality of life modeling in the Czech Republic based on classification methods. It concerns a comparison of methodological approaches; in the first case the approach of the Institute of Sociology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic was used, the second case is concerning a project of the civic association Team Initiative for Local Sustainable Development. On the basis of real data sets from the institute and team initiative the authors synthesized and analyzed quality of life classification models. They used decision tree classification algorithms for generating transparent decision rules and compare the classification results of decision tree. The classifier models on the basis of C5.0, CHAID, C&RT and C5.0 boosting algorithms were proposed and analyzed. The designed classification model was created in Clementine.

Background: Internalized stigma negatively affects lives and prognosis of individuals with psychosis. Aim: This study aimed to identify correlates of internalized stigma among individuals with psychosis in a sample of community care users in the Czech Republic. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 133 community service users with psychosis. A shortened version of the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness (ISMI-10) scale was used alongside the 5-level EQ-5D version (EQ-5D-5L), assessing health-related quality of life. Descriptive and linear regression analyses were performed in order to determine levels of internalized stigma and its correlates. Results: High levels of internalized stigma were reported in 25% of participants. Lower internalized stigma levels were associated with better self-reported health status and being married, and higher internalized stigma with a longer period of time since initial contact with psychiatric care. Conclusion: Lower internalized stigma levels are associated with better self-reported health-related quality of life. In addition, clients having used psychiatric care for longer periods of time reported significantly higher internalized stigma levels. Therefore, authors suggest self-stigma reduction interventions based in a community setting with an emphasis on targeting clients with chronic psychosis.

AbstractAn important methodological question in the general discourses concerning the quality of life is scale and mutual relationship of its two dimensions. In this article, the subjective dimension is understood as well-being; data from its spatial differentiation in districts of the Czech Republic were obtained from a face-to-face interview. The objective dimension is understood from the geographical aspect as quality of a place; it is quantified by the indicators of the golden standard of quality of life. Data from its spatial differentiation in districts of the Czech Republic are secondary. The article aims to compare the data of well-being and quality of a place for all the districts, with a premise of a higher level of well-being in the districts with a higher quality of a place, and vice-versa. This would answer the question of whether the quality of a place affects well-being.

Points Of View

The objective of the article is to make the reader acquainted with the quality of life in persons with behavioural impairment in professional institutes in the Czech Republic. The first part of the text aims at describing individual institutes, and the second part presents the research conducted in facilities of subsequent care for people with behavioural problems. The system of facilities for the monitored target group is rather extensive. Such facilities are regarded from various perspectives and points of view. The monitored institutes are divided in terms of the age of their clients, the scale of the problems, the services provided, etc. Also, the knowledge of valid legislation plays an important role. The following text intends to divide the target facilities based on specific criteria – which will improve orientation (at first sight) in the complicated and disorganised portfolio of institutes. It is beyond the capacity of this paper to enumerate all institutes dealing in the prevention, intervention, therapy and resocialization of persons with problems relating to behaviour, thinking, emotions, etc. The text adverts to the most significant institutes and introduces their activities in the form of practical examples (casuistry). The paper follows, above all, the current legislation and practice. The presented research focuses on describing the quality of life in persons under the programmes of subsequent care. The reason for selecting this type of institute is the fact that the participants of subsequent care programmes have experience with stays even in other types of monitored facilities.
