Předběžná náplň práce

It is widely publicized in mass media the process of resettlement of ethnic Czechs from Ukraine to their homeland. In the spring, 2014 forty Czech families from Ukraine appealed to the president of the Czech Republic, Miloš Zeman, with a request for resettlement. The reasons they mentioned were a dangerous political situation and the deteriorating economic situation in the country. The initiators were ethnic Czechs from the Volyn region, where most of the population of the Czech diaspora live. According to Ukraine Czech consular offices there were submitted more than 1000 applications [1].
Nowadays around 80 people has moved from the regions of Ukraine where the situation is most life threatening. The repatriation program founded by order of the President of Czech Republic operates. According to this program moved people can live in provided by Ministry of Internal Affairs housing (in Červená nad Vltavou, southern Bohemia) during six month after coming. They will or partly were provided financially to pay the transportation fee. Charitable organizations are involved in finding a job and permanent housing for displaced persons [2].
The budget of the program is 66 million of CZK (or 2,75 million dollars) for 2015. The money will cover the lump-sum payments of 50,000 CZK (EUR 1,800) for each adult person or 20,000 CZK (more than 700 euros) for each child.
Resettlement process is still in development. The second wave of migration is expected in late 2015 and early 2016.
Here and below Czech people came or going to come from Ukraine are called migrants or repatriants.

Based on the above, the subject of research are the people from Ukraine, who came to Czech Republic within mentioned program.
The object of research is self-identification of 'Czech people', grown up in Ukraine, but decided to move to their 'homeland'.
I use the quotation marks because these definitions are conventional and subjected to investigation here.
The main research question is to find out how these immigrants identify themselves - more Ukrainians or Czechs? Or both simultaneously? How they understand their national identity.
In my understanding, belonging or identity is people's feeling to be part of particular big group (in this case - national group). People construct their identity through affiliation, interaction, and identification with other. In diverse and multiethnic societies like ours, ethnic identity takes on an especially profound importance.
Feeling of identity is very situational, unstable and constantly changing. Basically, identity is activated and mobilized in emergency situations requiring the support and the feeling of belonging to a "friendly" group. These situations may be of a different character, be joyful or dangerous.
The notion of identity could be studied from two perspectives - personal and group level. Personal level have to be studied from psychological point of view; group identity is the field of sociology. I think, neither of approaches are not exhaustive, but their complex combination could allow to build a more complete picture of the world.
Here the approximate list of theories that could be applied: the theory of social networks, theories of rational choices, institutions theories [3].
Identity is represented by consumption of different cultural values inherent to the group such as music, tales, and traditions. It could be represented as consumption of certain products and goods what is hereditary. One of points can be determining identity as belonging to territory, space.
According to all foregoing the theoretical aspect of work will be about process of forming and understanding identity in contemporary world during different social changes.
Applied research will be conducted in the form of an interview. In this stage of work, I am going to provide a Life-story method.
'Life story' is chosen because personal stories reveal in what stage of life process the idea of national belonging appeared or evolved; showing interest in their experiences makes it easier to collect sensitive information.
This case study can't provide a reliable information about whole class. Nevertheless, it ensures deep unique information, which helps to suggest about tendencies which may be subject to systematic verification in a larger number of cases.

Preliminary structure:
1. Working on definition of identity;
2. Working on forming nation identity;
3. Research.
