Studien behandlar Stratford, London och syftar till att utifrån olika perspektiv analysera den pågående stadsförnyelsens betydelse för Stratford och dess invånare samt vilken del de Olympiska Spelen haft i stadsförnyelsen. För att undersöka detta fokuserar uppsatsen på att studera konsekvenserna av stadsförnyelsen för faktorer som bostads- och arbetsmöjligheter i området. Det undersöks utifrån frågeställningarna: hur har stadsförnyelsen i Stratford påverkat Stratford och dess invånare, med betoning på arbete och bostad samt på vilka sätt har OS haft betydelse för stadsförnyelsen i Stratford. Studien relaterar till teorier kring gentrifiering och globala städer. Uppsatsen har baserats på semistrukturerade intervjuer, litteraturstudier av dokument från bland annat London Borough of Newham och London Legacy development Corporation samt observation.

Cambodia is located in Southeast Asia with a tropical monsoon climate and distinctive wet and dry seasons. Poverty is a widespread problem in Cambodia and 30 percent of the population were classified as poor in 2009. About 80 percent of the populations live in rural areas where poverty is an even greater problem. In agriculture, rice cultivation is dominating and the crop is cultivated on 85 percent of the arable land. Livestock keeping is also a traditional part of Cambodian agriculture.

Intercropping involving trees is called agroforestry and makes it possible to get higher production for every area unit. The trees can function as food, fodder, fuel, medicine; prevent mark erosion and much more. Agroforestry can also be combined with animal husbandry. The aim of this study was to document the animal production systems used by rural small-scale farmers maintaining ruminants and using agroforestry in the northern province of Rwanda. The farmers using agroforestry is expected to have higher milk yield than average due to homegrown protein. The method used during the study was semi-structural interviews with booth open and closed questions. In order to get in contact with farmers that matched the criteria; small-scaled rural farmers with ruminants and using agroforestry, the ?Vi Agroforestry Programme? (Vi-Life) in Kigali were contacted and the staff worked as supervisors, translators and contact with the farmers throughout the study. During the study nine individual farmers, two cooperatives breeding sheep and one group interview were conducted.

The structure of the Swedish public library field has been evolving during the last decades. The traditional mission of educating the citizens to become responsible, democratic and knowledgeable members of society has in a way led to the integration between public and school libraries. Lately new co-operational models have been under debate and a sense of resistance has arisen because of the economical and market influences. In parallel with closure of library branches new libraries have evolved in malls and wash houses and some with self-service with no use of librarians. This work shows how co-operation in rural areas finds the common goals for the people living there who are concerned about keeping the service needed including the public library and thus using existing means and crossing borders of commercial thinking.

I Sverige va?xer de stora orterna mer och mer, sta?derna fo?rta?tas och hur ma?nniskor bor fo?ra?ndras. Ett problem som a?terkommer na?r stadsdelar fo?rnyas a?r att bostadspriser ga?r upp, inkomsterna i omra?den o?kar och stadsdelen ga?r fra?n att ha varit ett arbetarklassomra?de till att vara en stadsdel da?r medelklassen breder ut sig. Syftet med denna uppsats var att underso?ka hur Gro?ndal i Stockholm har fo?ra?ndrats under 2000-talet vad ga?ller inkomster och boendeformer, samt i vilken utstra?ckning kommunal planering och kommunala akto?rer har pa?verkat processen.

Cambodia, in Southeast Asia, has tropical monsoonal climate with distinct dry and rain seasons. Many people are poor and live in rural areas. Farmers mainly culture rice, and raise pigs, cattle and poultry as well. During two months, a minor field study was performed in Cambodia. The main purpose was to evaluate the impact of contributions done by projects that started in 2005 and were managed by the local organization CelAgrid.

Den ökande urbaniseringen innebär att samhället befinner sig i en konstant förändringsprocess. Staden och dess invånare är därigenom ständigt under utveckling. Effekten kan innebära omvandlingar i varierande skala men för en invånare kan det betyda stora omställningar i livssituationen. För många är boendet en viktig fråga och inverkningar på närmiljön kan ge starka reaktioner. En stadsomvandling i kvarteret kan upplevas både som traumatisk och nödvändig beroende på perspektiv. Exempel på en sådan situation är den nybyggnation som gjordes i Dalston, London. Nya bostadskomplex ledde till stora protester och resulterade i att planeringen började om, i ett omtalat projekt: Making space in Dalston.

Purpose of this study is to describe and analyze school social work in rural area and being alone in social work at the school welfare/health team and how this affects the individual, professionally and privately.The theoretical framework highlights the empirical data through Goffman's dramaturgical perspective. The study highlights school social workers role on the scene as Goffman divided as the front and rear arena and how school social worker find strategies to cope with it alone work it takes to be a counselor in rural areas.One way to handle her role involves acting in one of the following three characters: the self-employed, infiltrator and tough guy.The study describes how the social worker harboring the stress in the profession; through recovery - physical and mental, on the back stage, backstage.On stage there are other players such as student health team, which also acts and affect what happens on the front stage.School social workers are working hard to position itself in relation to other professions in student welfare/health team and to have a mandate to act.In the analysis, it appears that the school social workers want a clearer role profession/ occupation profession and mandate to act, which may be complicated by today is the only counselor in student welfare/health team lacking identity. There is also a desire for further/ continuing education, but this is seen as an organizational pitfall when the manager does not have the same educational background as school social worker.Ultimately, it is the peripatetic life as a social worker at the school who is considered the most exhausting part of the work as a school social worker in a rural area. There is a great desire among the interviewed school social workers to have fewer schools to relate to and work on..

This study examines whether a spatial relationship exists between blue-green infrastructure and indicators of gentrification in Hisingen, Gothenburg, during the period 2015?2023. Using a GIS-based approach, sociodemographic changes across 83 demographic statistical areas (DeSO) were analysed in relation to six parks established or significantly developed during the study period. Changes in mean income, educational attainment, share of residents with foreign background, and mean age were combined into a gentrification index, which was then tested against distance to the nearest park through linear regression analysis.The results show that socioeconomic changes consistent with gentrification occurred across parts of Hisingen during the period, with the highest index values concentrated in the central and south-eastern parts of the district. However, these changes were geographically selective rather than district-wide.

Denna uppsats undersöker vilka utvecklingstendenser som kan urskiljas för Berlins fastighetsmarknad utifrån ett urval av artiklar från tryck-media både i Tyskland och utomlands. De frågor som ställts är: Vilka kategorier köpare kan man se investera i Berlin idag? Vilka stadsdelar anses vara attraktiva och av vilka skäl? Hur har dessa utvecklats genom tiden från Berlinmurens fall? Hur framställs Berlins fastighetsmarknad i media och vilka utvecklingstendenser kan urskiljas för framtiden? En tematisk innehållsanalys av artiklarna har gjorts, och under studiens gång upptäcktes ofta förekommande teman: Stigande priser, Gentrifiering, Bubbla på fastighetsmarknaden? och Omdefiniering av lyxboende. Diskussionen relaterar de funna temana med Berlins historiska utveckling; hur uppdelningen och återföreningen har påverkat fastighetsmarknaden, och vad det i media på senare tid talas om för utveckling av marknaden. Det diskuteras vilka likheter och skillnader som upptäckts i innehållet mellan de tyska och de utländska artiklarna.
