Nonprofit institutions and the participation of volunteering in the regional development

Bachelor thesis deals with the situation, when the failure of the state creates opportunities for activities of the non-profit sector. The non-profit sector is represented by non-governmental organizations and these organisations are based on voluntary acitivity and provide institutianal bases for volunteering. I find the potential of the volunteering huge and not developed. That is the reason why I would like to deal with the volunteering and its principles. I want to describe how the volunteering is defined in the law of the Czech republic and compare it with conditions in other countries. The thesis is concerned especially on the cooperatioon of non-governmental organizations with public service. Crucial is the fact that non-governmental organizations should not replace the public service but on the contrary should coopereate and should contribute to rising quality of public service. The aim of the thesis is mainly on analysing existing relations between state and nongovernmental organizations and it will also analyse occasions for cooperation. I will aslo be interested in the communication among representatives of non-governmental organizations and public service at the level of municipality. Another goal of the thesis is to analyse results of activities of non-governmental organizations in the regional development and the share of volunteering in devoloping activities. Last but not least the thesis is concerned the potential of volunteering and its utilisation in czech conditioins.
