Det finns en trend i städer att jobba med vattenkontakt, vare sig det handlar om närhet till havet, sjön eller vattendrag. Det finns en potentiell vinst i att marknadsföra en stad med kopplingen till vatten och flera städer har lyckats med detta. Det ska dock tilläggas att det även uppstått problem med den waterfrontutveckling som har skett och det finns i olika städer erfarenhet av både vinster och förluster kopplat till waterfrontprojekt. I detta kandiatarbete har en fallstudie gjorts på en sträcka av Rönneå som flyter genom Ängelholm. Ån är i dagsläget föremål för en förstudie med mål att ta fram en åtgärdsplan för att höja värdet, skapa underlag och förutsättning för ett framtida Rönneå-projekt. Fallstudien har utgångspunkt i waterfrontutvecklingen som vuxit fram i världen sedan sent 1950-tal och efter hand spridit sig även till Sverige och Skandinavien..

The overall purpose of this essay is to come to a deeper understanding about videos in the Youtube beauty community by using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods. By answering the main questions of the essay which are; What quantitatively measurable components are there in the videos that can be seen as contributing factors leading to the fact that some generate more views that others?; Is there a set mold for success containing certain aspects that a video must have to stand out?; What correlations can be found between the two categories of analysis and how do these potential correlations affect the popularity of the video? and What effects do specific components on the level of popularity of the video?, we?ve been able to distinguish differences as well as similarities on both qualitative and quantitative levels. We have also seen that using the two methods together have enabled us to reach more profound results. The main result that we have found on a quantitative level is that there are obvious correlations between a high level of popularity and a good visual quality.

Sammanfattning Detta examensarbete grundar sig på idén om att stadens byggnader, och de arkitektoniska koncept som brukas, påverkar hur det offentliga rummet används och upplevs. Valet av arkitektoniskt koncept ger genomslag också på hur det offentliga rummet uppfattas, samt vilka prioriteringar som görs i den fysiska miljön i byggnadens närhet. Det handlar dels om att byggnaders skala, exploateringsgrad och verksamheter men också om att definiera vilka kvaliteter som är önskvärt, samt vad dessa begrepp egentligen står för. Examensarbetet ger ingen heltäckande översikt över stilformer och begrepp som förekommer inom arkitekturen och stadsplaneringen. Arbetets syfte är att visa hur koncept byggs upp, hur form definieras, samt ger exempel på hur detta kan appliceras på en specifik plats.

The review of Integrated green spaces in urban areas ? A case study of inner Brisbane highlight the significance of addressing characteristics, qualities and landscape values in our outdoor environment. The importance of green spaces to the wellbeing of people in the city and the ecological, social and cultural values they carry are widely recognised in the field of urban and regional planning. At the same time population growth, climate change and urban development put planners and scientists in a challenging position where new solutions must be put on the agenda in order to accomplish sustainability. Open space strategies, collaboration between stakeholders, public participation, learn from earlier failings and a ?value-led? approach facilitate the managing of open space. Brisbane is located in the fastest growing metropolitan region in Australia. The city´s open space landscapes offer cultural, geographical, recreational, social and scenic amenity assets, which make a major contribution to the regions identity they a wide world known for.

Uppsatsen är en studie baserad på litteraturstudier samt kvalitativa intervjuer med svenskafotbollssupportrar. Studien skildrar hur nyliberalismen har påverkat fotbollens värld och desssupportrar. Hur det kommersiella racet efter framgång kan hamna i konflikt med supportrarnassträvan och upplevelser av community/gemenskap. Men också hur dessa två motpoler på enrimlig nivå kan få varandra att växa. Uppsatsen skildrar också vad som sker när den nyliberalautvecklingen gått för långt och supportrarna känner sig undanträngda.

SCA is the largest private owned forest owner in Sweden, with an ownership of 2 million hectares of productive forestland. To manage the planning of such large areas and to fit the traditional organization structure of a Swedish forest company, the planning approach is subdivided into three stages; strategic, tactical and operational. The strategic part, based on a statistic sample of stands, returns a harvest level estimate which should then be implemented at actual sites in the tactical part. This procedure can lead to incompatible solutions as the strategic solution is not necessarily possible to translate into actual sites in the tactical plan. The geographic aspect is important in tactical planning due to the large costs for moving equipment and maintenance of a large number of forest roads.

This study is inspired by research about alliance as a common factor. The purpose is to explore the positive experiences among community-based social support workers when breaking the rules with their clients. The study questions in which situations they broke the rules and how they handled these situations related to their clients and colleges. Qualitative, individual interviews were made with four community-based social support workers who had such experiences. The results were analysed through an hermeneutic approach using Johan Asplund's theory of social responsiveness.

The aim of this study is to explore local cultural policy documents in the municipality of Gothenburg Sweden, and, more specifically, to investigate the concepts of cultural planning and instrumental cultural policy. Cultural planning is in this thesis seen as a result of an instrumental view of cultural policy. The theoretical framework consists of the theories of Danish cultural policy researcher Dorte Skot-Hansen. She describes cultural policy in urban areas as founded in motives such as economy, social issues, entertaining and enlightenment. A qualitative text analysis is performed in order to see if the purpose of the cultural policies is to focus on cultural planning as formulated in the document Kulturpolitisk strategi ? version 1.0, adopted by the city council in 1998.

AbstractThis study aims to describe and analyze how the 15 municipalities of Västerbotten County consider regional targets of development in their comprehensive plans. The study also investigate if there´s any need of improvements for the consideration of regional targets in comprehensive planning.This paper is based on studies of comprehensive plans in Västerbotten County and on three interviews with employers of different municipalities in the county. An thematic analysis were used to analyze documents and interviews.The result shows that a new comprehensive plan generally takes more consideration to regional targets of development than older plans. The consideration varies a lot between the municipalities of Västerbotten County and it can be explained by many reasons. The informant?s points out that lack of resources- and competence plus a deficient dialog between municipalities and regional organizations are the mainly causes.Keywords; regional development, comprehensive planning, strategy for regional development, regional development program, land-use planning.

AbstractThe purpose of this essay is to study in what way teachers in preschool work with pupils enabling them to gain influence and involvement in their learning.Influence means being able to make your voice heard which is an important component of a democratic society. Involvement is about being part of a community in which everyone is welcomed regardless of beliefs and opinions. Several of today's researchers believe that learning occurs in interaction between people. Teachers providing meaningful assignments to pupils, they become more motivated to learn.The study is based on observations of how teachers work with influence and involvement in controlled sessions, and interpretations of them. My results show that children become involved in their learning when they are confronted with a variety of pedagogical approaches to learning.

Collaborative planning ? a comparative study of theory and practice Why There is today, according to my experience, a growing interest and demand for a more inclusive and transparent planning process. Also, if we are going to be able to reach a truly sustainable society it is my belief that there is a need for a more integrated collaboration between different actors. Where the social, economic and ecological values can influence and benefit from each other. The question then is, how can the planning system accommodate that kind of collaboration? Purpose My aim for this thesis has been to study a selection of the theoretical work that exist about collaborative planning.

Syftet med arbetet har varit att analysera hur olika stadsplaneideal direkt eller underförstått framhävs i svensk stadsplaneringsdebatt och stadsbyggande samt att undersöka vilka planideal som förespråkas. Den svenska stadsplaneringsdebatten har analyserats utifrån ett urval av artiklar ifrån de tio senaste årens nummer av tidsskrifterna Arkitekten, Arkitektur, Plan och Nordisk arkitekturforskning, vilka kan sägas utgöra den huvudsakliga arenan för den fackmässiga stadsbyggnads- och planeringsdebatten i Sverige. Resultatet av analysen har jämförts med tre aktuella och omdebatterade stadsbyggnadsprojekt i syfte att undersöka vilka kopplingar som finns mellan dagens debatt och aktuellt stadsbyggande. Resultatet har även jämförts och diskuterats utifrån den historiska stadsplaneutvecklingen av den svenska staden för att undersöka hur olika stadsplaneideal påverkat stadsbyggandet i Sverige under olika tidsperioder samt i vilken utsträckning de stadsplaneideal som förekommer i dagens debatt hämtar sin inspiration ifrån historiska förebilder. Utifrån stadsplaneringsdebatten går det att utläsa två inriktningar i dagens stadsplaneideal. Dels den täta staden som hämtar inspiration ifrån den traditionella svenska kvartersstaden och motiveras med att den täta staden är den mest hållbara stadsformen, dels ett sökande efter nya alternativa stadsformer som inte kännetecknas av ett specifikt planeideal men som ser en risk i att föreslå en specifik planstruktur framför andra och att ett planideal per automatik skulle vara mer hållbart än ett annat.

I rapporten presenteras två analysmetoder, Jan Gehls och Gordon Cullens. Analysmetoderna appliceras på tre offentliga mötesplatser i Eskilstuna, Fröslunda centrum, Smörtorget samt Sveaplan. Utifrån resultaten från analyserna har förslag till förbättring utformats. Gordons Cullens analysmetod baseras på den visuella upplevelsen av staden samt upplevelsen av att röra sig i den. Jan Gehls analysmetod baseras på aktiviteterna som äger rum i staden samt vilka möjligheter det finns att skapa kontakt. Analysmetoderna har sedan jämförts med tanke på skillnader, överrensstämmelser samt applicerbarheten. Platserna som analyseras är olika gällande läge, utformning, användning och historia.
