| Description: |
The Problem Description: social and economic problems of the country as a whole and of its regions have become apparent clearly during a transformational movement in Ukraine. And we should highlight the problem of providing the social services for the Visually Impaired among the fields and spheres, which require the urgent reforming.
1995 the Visually Impaired live in the Transcarpathian region. 16 % of these are urban population 84 % are rural. The age structure can be determined as follows, 655 young people, 1496 people of working age, 499 older people. For each age group the own set of problems is defined, created by the issues of social services’ providing. Among the residents of this area - people with serious visual impairment are representatives of Hungarian, Slovak and other nationalities. This category of people - people with limited vision feels the lack of communication with neighboring countries.
No model of the introduction of social services is defined today. No bodies of regional authorities nor the more municipal government are not able to organize the implementation of qualitative social services.
Among the set of reasons that have determined the problem the following are distinguished:
Historical - pre-existing socialist system focused on determining the invalescence (invalidism) as a degree of a disability, consequently was the targeting on specialized companies and the actual isolation of the Visually Impaired, who lived in rural areas. After the collapse of the socialist camp, Eastern European countries have identified and recognized the priorities of the European Union. At present crisis of transitional stage is actually overcome in these countries. Reforms implemented in the social sphere have led to the definition of the model of their implementation, and the criteria of their quality. In Ukraine this difficult process still continues, resulting the lack of social services for that category of citizens.
The socio-economic complex of problems includes the issues of the definitions of social services, especially in terms of their efficiency and effectiveness during the realization of disabled persons by themselves. In this aspect the certain social services are important for the age categories of the Visually Impaired. So, for children and young people of school age is the urgent need of qualitative and accessible education and services related to this. The access to the social environment and information technology is almost not provided. Therefore is the receiving of inadequate education that in the future is expressed during the realization of youth. Another direction of services is the rehabilitation services - the measures of social, employment and labor rehabilitation. Lack of appropriate centers or their inadequate staffing and resources providing calls into doubt the quality of the services.
Another aspect of the economic conditions complex that determined this issue was the question of the costs of services and their customers. In Ukraine, in general, particularly in the Transcarpathian region the issue of payment for social and rehabilitation services to their direct clients is not resolved. Previous social policy that stimulated the emergence of new types of privileges caused the formation of paternalistic tones among the recipients of social services. At the present time the agencies that provide these services are financed from the state budget, which determines their low quality because of their low cost, and technical assistance programs, which in turn determines the short duration of the activity of this type of institutions, created by such a manner.
Administrative complex of conditions of this problem is defined by the subject of social services administration. In this sense, the lack of social services model has clearly become apparent. Due to low self-organization and lack of appropriate professional experience local governments do not actually carry out their responsibilities in the social sphere. However this niche is occupied in an active way by civil society organizations that are providing certain social services and they define the number of their clients, the quality and the costs of these services. In most cases, NGO activities are inconstant and episodic in their nature. No significant number of civil society organizations of our region can lay claim to system work in this direction.
