In this thesis, secondary school students' awareness of the area of civil protection in the Central Bohemian Region was investigated. Every single person should be involved in individual areas of civil protection, taking into account the person's age. Every person is regularly exposed to extraordinary events of various types. Therefore, it is of primary importance to know how to behave under given circumstances. Thus, such an extraordinary event can be solved better and any negative consequences can be minimized. The best start is to familiarize children in kindergartens with the given issues appropriately, continue with pupils at elementary schools and deepen the information further with students at secondary schools. However, these days there is no regular training in the area of civil protection at secondary schools. Students today are, therefore, reliant upon one-time lectures or their own search for the required information. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on civil protection and its brief history in the Czech Republic as well as in foreign countries. The Concept of Civil Protection until 2020 with a View until 2030 is detailed herein. Furthermore, the current system of preventive educational activities and training at secondary schools is described herein. It is followed by definitions of several terms related to the area of civil protection (extraordinary event, emergency, integrated rescue system, warning and notification, evacuation, survival of citizens under emergency circumstances, individual protection, sheltering of citizens). The theoretical part of the thesis also includes the description of the fundamental methods of descriptive and mathematical statistics, which are applied in the subsequent chapter. The aim of the thesis consists in assessing the awareness of secondary school students in the Central Bohemian Region of the area of civil protection and in increasing their knowledge about the given issues. Two hypotheses were laid down: Hypothesis No. 1: The knowledge of secondary school students about the area of civil protection in the Central Bohemian Region is distributed normally. Hypothesis No. 2: Students from various types of secondary schools show statistically significant different levels of knowledge. |
