Neziskové organizace a média

Neziskový sektor je součástí života každé demokratické společnosti. Už z názvu neziskový sektor či nezisková organizace vyplývá, že cílem jejich existence a činnosti není zisk v jeho peněžním vyjádření, ale veřejný prospěch nebo užitek členů organizace.

We selected five different courses studied at the centres and we subjected them to statistical analyses.

This information can be useful both for students and studies centre management

Comparative analysis of the cooperation of non-profit organizations and selected regional communities

Non-profit sector represents a specific set of institutions that have a special status in society and an important mission in many spheres of life. The non-profit sector cannot replace the role and activities of the state in various spheres of society, but it can successfully and efficiently complement them and expand them. The principle of partnership allows citizens to be involved in local and regional communities in decision-making processes about development activities. Relations between NGOs and public administration are not always ideal. The state and non-profit organizations do want to participate in the improvement of mutual cooperation. The aim of the work is to contribute to the development of effective communication between NGOs and regional levels of the public administration and thus strengthen support for mutual cooperation between the two sectors and the realization of the principle of partnership. From a methodological point of view, to realize the given objectives a combination of several techniques of data collection and analysis was used, as required by the comprehensive approach to information flow regarding the non-profit sector, state and local administrations in order promote mutual cooperation and coordination of the partnership principle

PODPORA ŽIVOTNÍHO PROSTŘEDÍ A CESTOVNÍHO RUCHU DOBROVOLNÝM SVAZKEM OBCÍ

Cooperation at municipal level, it means common action of public and private actors. Joint effort to regional development is the main reason for collaboration of municipalities. We can see many forms of cooperation currently in the Czech Republic. Estabilishment of the frame for joint action was initiated by mucinipalities and their actual needs that have been often satisfied through cooperation. For overcoming obstacles it is necessary to permanently estabilish and develop new and more eficient forms of common actions of minicipalities and cities. Objectives and participants of some initiatives are often overlapping – it weakens their efficiency and causes that membership and activity of some participants is only formal. It is essential for development of cooperation to define basic factors influencing collaborative process and focus on internal mechanisms of cooperation, which is key factor for progress. Territorial principle that determines the character of microregions is an integral part of cooperation at municipal level. It means that territorial principle is one the most foundamental elements for future cooperation of municipalities especially in the field of environment and tourism. Based on the theoretical bases of the target was set, which was carried out quantitative and qualitative field research
