Bakgrund: Torö Stenstrand tillhör naturreservatet Ören som är beläget på en udde på ön Torö i den sydligaste delen av Stockholms län. I slutet av 1970-talet kom vågsurfingsporten till Sverige och Torö Stenstrand. Det var några lokala entusiaster som upptäckte platsen och såg att vågorna lämpade sig för surfing. Sedan dess har officiella surf-SM genomförts av Swedish Surfing Association i stort sett varje höst sedan början av 90-talet. Det finns dock en konflikt kring frågan om stranden bör vara helt tillgänglig för allmänheten eller om de privata tomterna, som finns längsmed vissa delar av Stenstranden, ska ha äganderätt av marken ner till vattnet.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att studera ridsporten från ett ryttarperspektiv med fokus på hur sporten utövas i dagens samhälle och vilka möjligheter man som ryttare upplever sig ha när det kommer till att fortsätta tävla på elitnivå. Detta har undersökts genom en jämförelse mellan tidigare forskning av ridsporten och hur ryttare på olika nivåer upplever och definierar sina egna möjligheter inom ridsporten, könsfördelning och eventuella bakomliggande mekanismer till att det ser ut som det gör med många unga kvinnor på hobbynivå och några få män inom ryttareliten. Varför är det så var en av de tidiga funderingarna som fanns med när denna uppsats började utformas.Studien har en kvalitativ ansats, genom tematiskt öppna intervjuer har datamaterialet insamlats, transkriberats och analyserats utifrån Bourdieus sociologiska teorier om habitus och kapitalformer. Det insamlade materialet har i analysen ställts mot den tidigare forskningen inom ridsport och idrottsutövande som fokuserar på fördelningen mellan könen och statusen som ridsport haft över tid i samhället.Resultaten av studien visar att det skett en stor förändring inom ridsporten det senaste hundra åren, att gå från en manligt dominerad sport där kvinnor förbjöds att delta till att bli en mycket populär sport för unga kvinnor. Kvinnorna kan därför ses som huvudutövarna medan det är relativt få män som är aktiva inom ridsporten på lägre nivåer och trots detta så är det på elitnivå ungefär lika många män som kvinnor.

Background: The consumers of today have the possibility to choose from a wide range of products and services. Consequently, the ability to differentiate the products is essential for the brand owners. If a brand owner does not manage to differentiate its product, it can be difficult to make the consumers realise the benefits of the product and convince them to buy it. One way to differentiate the product is to create a distinguished brand identity. However, it is not enough to create a strong brand identity, the brand owner must also be capable of communicating the brand identity successfully.
