Jag har som student på Carl Malsten - Furniture Studies valt att ägna mitt examensarbete åt att lösa frågan: Hur utformar man ett redskap för lek som lämnar tolknings utrymme och stimulerar barnets egna fantasi?Barn har ett öppet synsätt medans vi med åren blivit formade att se saker på ett visst sätt. Jag ville slå ett slag för barns lek, fantasi och deras skapande. Det har jag att gjort med fokus på barns olika typer av lek och då i huvudsak på:Rollek. (Barnet spelar en roll, själv eller i samspel med andra barn)Konstruktionslek.

Accessibility is today a topic of high current interest. It is a requirement for equality and a democracy question. By the year 2010, easy measured hindrances in all of Sweden's municipalities should be cleared away; this is stated in Swedish law. The physical accessibility to our public places is particularly important for functionally disabled people since it affects their possibilities to be outdoors and also their participation in society. When designing these places, it is difficult to find solutions that fit everybody, especially since good accessibility not only should fulfill all physical requirements of accessibility but also values of experience.

This paper constitiutes graduate work at the Swedish University of Agriculture Science, the Department of Urban and Rural Development, Ultuna. The main objective of this work has been, in part, using the municipality of Runby as an example, to test different inventory and analysis methods directed towards a sociotopic usage perspective. A secondary objective has been, based on knowledge obtained from current research results concerning the usage of green areas, to transfer the analysis results to a proposal for a free space planning over Runby. People living in the countryside often have good access to nature as well as access to a garden of their own. In the city, however, there are considerably less people that have access to a private outdoor spaces so the parks become a type of public living room for all the inhabitants. Through the lack of private green spaces and through the anonymity of the city, an inviting atmosphere is created towards spending time in the park.

This study is a value chain analysis for timber in East Africa. It was commissioned by Vi Agroforestry, a nongovernmental organisation registered in Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania engaged in a rural development program that involves promoting tree planting and enterprise development (Vi Agroforestry, 2012). The purpose of the study was to identify and describe common value chains for timber in the countries where Vi Agroforestry operated. Value chain is a concept and a framework describing how to structure information regarding activities included in satisfying a certain customer need, e.g. procurement, logistics, transactions, production and marketing.

Outdoor advertising is not very often discussed within city planning even though the commercial messages occupy much of public space. The advertising signs affects not only the physical environment but also social life. In this report I would like to acknowledge and question the presence of advertising in our everyday environment. Outdoor advertising is not a new phenomena, technical progress however, results constantly in new expansions in the environment. Today advertising occurs in all sorts of shapes in the cities, both as free standing signs and as signs attached to facades, incorporated in city furniture such as bus shelters and on vehicles moving along the city streets. Grouping advertising into two categories; local and national, reveals that the different categories have different impact on public space.

AbstraktSyftet med min undersökning är utarbeta metoder för att synliggöra betraktarens meningsskapande position vid tillägnandet av bilder. Den kunskap jag i och med detta etablerar vill jag sedan använda i mitt arbete som bild- och mediepedagog. Arbetet fokuserar på eleven som ett aktivt meningsskapande subjekt i enlighet med de feministiskt poststrukturalistiska teorier jag anammar i min undersökning samt då jag utvecklar min gestaltning. Det didaktiska syftet med mitt arbete är att elever ska kunna använda sin medvetenhet vid tillägnandet av bilder för att kunna förankra kunskaper och utveckla de förmågor bildämnet syftar till att de skall få.Mitt arbete tar avstamp i min personliga erfarenhet av att, genom familjefotografier, medvetande göra mitt eget tillägnande av bilder. Jag har därför valt att använda vardagsfotografier (i form av just familjefotografi) som utgångsmaterial i min undersökning .Eftersom mitt arbete syftar till att jag som pedagog ska kunna använda mina kunskaper i en lärandesituation med elever, har jag valt att använda mig av ett litet antal informanter som fått läsa och tolka två fotografier.
