The study Packning i tid och rum (Crowding in Time and Space) is a Master Thesis in Human Geography within Geography, presented at Södertörn University College.The aim is to investigate the connections between time and space, more particularly, geographical changes over time. This is done by focusing on the Study of Land use as a phenomenon and on-going processes in demarcated areas. Distinct areas are given special interest, i.e. how they are used. The study deals with three different kinds of sites in three levels of scale: a market garden, cemeteries and a residential area.The main focus of the study is on the cemeteries.

Arbetets syfte Àr att undersöka och diskutera om fysisk utformning kan bidra till eller förebygga segregation, samt att jÀmföra olika principer för att minska rumslig uppdelning och ge ökade möjligheter till social interaktion. Fokus Àr hur stadens struktur och utformning bidrar till, eller försvÄrar, att mÀnniskor befinner sig pÄ samma offentliga platser samtidigt, vilket skapar möjlighet att se och blir sedd av andra mÀnniskor. Att se och bli sedd av andra mÀnniskor Àr nÄgot som flera forskare lyfter som viktigt för att bli ömsesidigt medvetna om varandras existens, och minska uppdelning i ?vi? och ?dem?. I arbetet undersöks Nedre Norrby i BorÄs med hjÀlp av space syntaxverktyg och Gehls kvalitetskriterier. Det visar pÄ vilka sÀtt platsen kan ses som en barriÀr, och undersöker hur fysiska förÀndringar skulle kunna förÀndra det.

AbstractThe purpose of my study is to describe what view teachers, which are working with autistic children, have about how the individual autistic child will have a good schooling? If children with autism should be integrated or segregated. I also want to find out how ?a school for all? shall be worked out to fit children with autism. To reach my purpose I?ve chosen to use a qualitative method and to hand out questionnaire to three teachers which are working in a training school.To get a background to this study I?ve presented what researchers have to say about this subject.

This thesis presents the residential development in the city of Uppsala, targeting theliving conditions of young adults and students. In cooperation with Sweco Architect inUppsala. The purpose of this survey is to reveal difficulties and possibilities for theearly development of the construction process for studio apartments. Theinformation has been obtained through both a literature review and interviews. Theliterature review is based on Swedish regulations and previous studies in the field, andthe interviews were conducted with organisations and people in leading positionswithin Uppsala.

Mot bakgrund av en pÄgÄende fragmentisering av stÀder, likt den som idag förekommer i Malmö har frÄgor vÀckts kring möjligheten att stÀrka kopplingarna mellan stadsdelar samt möjligheten att bidra till fler mötesplatser i staden. Bristen pÄ kopplingar i form av strÄk mellan innerstaden och de södra och östra stadsdelarna av Malmö, samt bristen pÄ vÀldefinierade och livliga mötesplatser, har vÀckt frÄgor kring segregation och ifrÄgasatt Malmö som en trygg stad att leva och bo i. I kandidatarbetet belyser vi begreppen strÄk och plats. VÄrt syfte med kandidatarbetet Àr att utforska hur man genom fysisk planering kan bidra till ökad trygghet och livlighet pÄ strÄk och platser. Vi vill tillÀmpa resultatet av forskningen i ett förslag pÄ ett strÄk och en mötesplats i Fosieby, mellan LindÀngen och Fosie industriomrÄde i Malmö..

In the two years 1994 and 2013 the focus of the Swedish media in the school debate has been on segregation, freedom of choice, and support for weak students. In 2013 while the media was still united on the above issues the overall emphasis is on profitability. In 1994 the focus was more on weak students who in 2013 are considered unprofitable.The purpose of this essay is to study the Swedish media and their debate on Swedish schools and witch concepts related to "one school that fits all" in the year 1994 and also in 2013.We have analysed related articles and their concepts, norms, and values to see if there are any differences between their focus on the said issues in the two years.We have also studied the ideas and concepts that came under scrutiny and discussion in these two years, and shall investigate if there are differences in the debates conducted in 1994 and those conducted in 2013..

I have in this essay, studied both the definition of the concepts segregation and integration and how you as an urban planner can promote integration, by working with increased feeling of security and more venues. The aim is to cast light on these two tools and how you within city planning can use them to create a more equal society. To gain a wide base of knowledge, I have studied both government and municipal reports as well as prior investigations where these methods have been used. I have also interviewed a landscape architect who actively works with questions regarding integration in Malmö, to get information as recent as possible about their work today. Malmö is today a segregated city with large gaps between the residential areas when it comes to economic possibilities and the composition of inhabitants.

The purpose is to understand the planning process for residential buildings and toinvestigate the consequences of the choices made in the process. The project will alsoprovide broader knowledge in the design and development under the current law andpractice.The goal is to present a proposal on how a city near the site where water can bedesigned from a sustainable perspective. How can a residential neighborhood be anenvironmentally sound and sustainable region? New systems and techniques havebeen presented previously in terms of sustainable environments and these are intendedof being used in the project Quarter Water-mirror.The project has been implemented on the computer program ArchiCAD in whichdrawings and visualizations have been carried out. These drawings are included asannexes to the report.For information, calculations and drawings, laws for physical planning and Swedishstandard have been followed.Residential buildings have been designed on a site, which is 2, 5 hectares.

Already in 1988, different levels of participation in the election between different districts of big cities in Sweden were noticed. The problem with low political participation in specific areas has almost always been theoretically explained through an individual perspective. This study is therefore focusing on the problem from a contextual perspective. The hypothesis for the study is as follows, in the case of Malmö the level of participation in elections are affected by social environment in which segregation will be the single highest factor. The dependent variable, participation in the election was tested by the independent variables representing social environment; origin, education, gainfully employed and income.

Drain water heat recovery is an uncommon measure in multi-unit residential buildings. There istechnology available for the purpose but the knowing and experience of the heat recovery systems islittle. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the future potential of drain water heat recovery inmulti-unit residential buildings.A major part of the multi-unit residential buildings in Sweden were built during modernismen andrekordÄren (1940?1975). Many of the buildings have worn out drain and water supply systems andmany are in need of a general refurbishment.

The aim of this investigation work " What was it called...Equality...? is to study a clinics current gender equailty plan from a gender approach and by a field survey see if, and in that case, how it can be improved. A connection between existing gender norms and gender power strukctures is applied in the results of this survey in order to illustrate their significance from an individual as well as a structural perspektive.The survey has been carried through by a field survey as well as a discourse analysis as method. Yvonne Hirdmans gender power system is on of the main theoretical points of departure.The results that I have achieved in this essay is that gender can be looked at in different ways within the labour market where women have the main responsibility over the family and are considered more nursing then men. Men on the other hand are thinking of their carriers and have higher salary requirements.

The aim of this study was to understand how care staff in residential care perceive and work with elderly mental health and how these perceptions and work is related to aging. We have gathered our empirical material through eight qualitative interviews and vignettes with care staff in residential care. The study was conducted in a municipality with 10 000 to 20 000 inhabitants in southern Sweden. The material was analyzed with use of ageism as a theoretical frame of reference. The results showed that the care staff had different perceptions of mental illness in general and regarding the elderly.

Abstract The purpose of this essay is to compare the integration policy between Socialdemokraterna, Moderaterna and Sverigedemokraterna with focus on labor-market integration, housing segregation and language knowledge. The international immigration has in recent years increased significantly and this has also enriched the receiving countries and still the numbers of extreme right parties have increased. In Sweden a racist populist party, Sverigedemokraterna, are only a few steps away from entering the parliament. The question in focus is: What differences or similarities are there between the integration politics between Moderaterna, Socialdemokraterna and Sverigedemokraterna with focus on the areas housing, work and language?  By applying the theoretical framework to the data, I have been able to present answers and build up an analysis. The study concludes that there are more similarities than differences in the integration policy between Moderaterna and Socialdemokraterna.

The purpose of this essay has been to study if all the districts in the city of Malmoe get to be seen in the city?s biggest newspaper, Sydsvenskan. Is the reporting proportional? What images is the newspaper offering the citizens? Do they match the reality? Or are some parts of Malmoe in the dark, in a media shadow?Research done in the past has shown that Stockholm in many ways is in a media shadow. The same pattern was shown in Gothenburg.

Gruvbrytning i dagbrott krÀver ofta stora kapitalinvesteringar och för att hÄlla verksamheten lönsam krÀvs ofta storskalig drift. Truckar utgör ca 60 % av de totala produktionskostnaderna och det Àr dÀrför viktigt att de anvÀnds pÄ ett effektivt sÄ att maximal mÀngd malm kan produceras. Produktionen i en gruva Àr dynamisk till följd av att tillgÀngliga vÀgar, maskinkapaciteter, tillgÀngliga bergmassor och bergets egenskaper ofta varierar. Dynamiken och de mÄnga variablerna gör det svÄrt att planera och styra produktionen eftersom vissaplaner, sÄsom exempelvis fördelning av truckar, ofta mÄste justeras nÀr förutsÀttningarna Àndras.Syftet med den hÀr studien Àr att kartlÀgga materialflödet och produktionsstyrningen i ett dagbrott, samt att identifiera förbÀttringsförslag.En fallstudie har genomförts vid Boliden Mineral AB (Boliden) i Aitik, Sveriges största dagbrott. Bolidens prioriteringar Àr att (1) maximera totalt producerad mÀngd malm, (2) möta de dagliga produktionsmÄl för malm och grÄberg som finns för varje enskilt sprÀngomrÄde, och (3) minimera produktionskostnaderna.
