The report aims to show how outdoor environments have been shaped with the purpose of experiencing them from the inside of buildings, through an overview perspective. Two Danish gardens are used as examples. One is the Baroque garden in the garden of Frederiksborg castle in Hillerød. The Baroque garden is thus a part of a larger garden. The second garden is the Charlotte Garden, a relatively newly constructed garden within a housing complex in Østerbro in Copenhagen. Both gardens are analyzed on the basis of visual expression and structure. In the report, it is also discussed how the contemporary society have evoked the different ways of shaping the gardens.

The population growth in Europe and with that in Sweden was enormous under 18th century. The results became housing shortage in large part of Europe. Tight residency/ inhabited, poverty and emigration were series of social questions in Sweden. Private house (egnahem) as in the beginning was an idea from England and Germany became a political measure and the answer at those miserable social circumstances in Sweden. The purpose with the private house (egnahem) was to help those new people moved in to towns with place to live and counteract movers to towns and emigration. With the governmental loan and land availability that some municipalities and wealthy people contributed with, could people get a place to live with the small garden. The city garden (trädgårdstaden) with their future idealistic idea/utopia, English gardens, ideas with roots in the old-fashioned gardens (allmogeträdgårdar) and lots of books and periodicals were the source of inspirations. From these the private house gardens (egnahemsträdgårdar) were born. Object for my study is my and my family?s own house in Limhamn, south west of Malmö which was built in 1912 under private house gardens era. The garden and the building have still trace and element from the time of private house. My suggestion is inspired by the private home style with a new thinking design that answers to daily need and the busy life style; a rather easy to maintain for green environment. A more relaxing and peaceful garden with simple design, a garden despite that it is surrounded by neighbours and streets invites in harmony and dreams..

In nature settings people often experience positive emotions. Litterature and theories about the positive effect of nature on humans are largely based upon visual impressions and aesthetic preference. The purpose of the present study is to examine how visually impaired individuals that lack visual impressions experience nature. The background is about what it means to be visually impaired and what it is like to be visually impaired in a nature setting, followed by a presentation of the five human senses and about stimulation of senses in healing gardens. That is followed by theories about the health promoting effect of nature, about why nature and therapeutic gardens make people feel good. After that theories about experiences and relations with settings are presented.

Då den statliga granskningen av läromedel upphört är det upp till varje undervisande lärare att bedöma huruvida läromedel ligger i linje med de gällande kursplanerna eller ej. Syftet med uppsatsen är att granska 1800-talet i fyra läromedel i litteraturhistoria. Med hermeneutiken som verktyg tolkas två olika kursplaner i svenskämnet, den nu gällande kursplanen i Svenska 1 hämtad ur Gy 11 och kursplanen för Svenska B hämtad ur Lpf 94. Tolkningen av aspekter som kan kopplas till litteratur ligger till grund för analysen av de aktuella läromedlen. Resultatet visar att de fyra läromedlen tar upp information som ligger i linje med det kursplanerna föreskriver och kan således möjliggöra att eleven uppnår målen när det kommer till studier av författare och dess verk under 1800-talet..

Det kommer fler och fler rapporter om översvämningar med katastrofala konsekvenser som följd. Klimatforskare menar att regnmängden i Skåne förväntas öka samtidigt som det sker en enorm exploatering där städerna förtätas och gröna ytor med naturlig infiltrationskraft minskar drastiskt. År 2000 infördes ?Vattendirektivet?. Det är EU:s ramdirektiv för vatten som syftar till att skydda och vårda våra vattenresurser i form av sjöar, vattendrag, kustvatten och grundvatten inom EU.

This master thesis covers the design of a special garden room, The Hardscape Room, in The Rehabilitation Gardens at Alnarp, in southern Sweden, as well as describes the design process. The Rehabilitation Gardens are intended to serve several purposes. It will offer horticultural therapeutic treatment programs for people diagnosed as having had burnout disease for an extended period. Research is also aimed at studying the possible impact of different garden design hypotheses as well as different forms of horticultural therapy. In The Rehabilitation Gardens at Alnarp the most extreme and demanding garden room focused on cultivation and horticultural therapy is The Hardscape Room.

Restaurering av trädgårdar blir alltmer vanligt. Dilemmat är vilken tidsperiod som är den rätta att utgå från och hur stor plats dagens trädgårdskultur ska få ta. Gården som jag arbetat med i mitt examensarbete har anor ända tillbaka till vikingatiden men jag har valt att inrikta mig på 1800-talet. Detta på grund av att den nuvarande gårdsbilden uppkom på 1800-talet. Tanken med arbetet är inte att skapa en helt genuin 1800-tals trädgård utan tanken är mer att man i trädgården ska uppnå en viss känsla av 1800-tal.

I Sverige växer intresset för att odla sina egna grönsaker, men få bostadsområden erbjuder möjlighet till odling och det är högt tryck på befintliga kolonilotter. Det är därför nödvändigt att ge plats åt nya former av odling i den urbana miljön. En sådan utveckling går i linje med den omställning mot hållbar stadsutveckling som städerna står inför. Kommunen behöver ge praktiska exempel på hållbara lösningar och en väg att gå är att låta medborgarna odla i det offentliga rummet. Uppsatsen avser att ta fram en förstudie till ett projekt som ska bidra till en förbättrad hållbar stadsutveckling. Projektet som föreslås är att parkkontoret i Lunds kommun tillsammans med odlingsintresserade invånare anlägger en stadsdelsträdgård på den stora gröningen i Folkparken.

Under slutet av 1800-talet publicerades tidningen Svenska familj-journalen i flera a?rga?ngar som en tidning menad att la?sas av hela familjen som underha?llning.
