Despite the vast research on the effects of gaming, little is know how the phenomenon of e-Sports and it?s followers is portrayed.

This master thesis examines Sport habits among young people and a view of their future in Sports. Research has shown that the majority of youth leave Sport clubs during adolescence. The thesis questions were: How physically active are young people? Which Sports do they practice? Regarding their future in Sports, what kind of aspirations do the young people have? Are there any barriers that could complicate their involvement in these activities? These questions were examined by analyzing if there were any differences between boys and girls, youth in different grades and youth with Swedish or foreign backgrounds. Pierre Bourdieu´s theoretical framework about Sports and economic capital has been used as a research framework.

"Landscapes for Spontaneous Sport" The main aim with this degree thesis is to show how planning and design of urban space can promote spontaneous Sport. Public health and urban life would benefit from re-introducing the Sport and physical activity in the townscape. The study can be seen as an "inspiration book" that focuses on the connection between Sports and landscape architecture. The starting-point for the discussion is the fact that the spontaneous Sport is on the decline and the main general question is how this negative trend could be broken. In particular the study asks how landscape architecture could promote and increase spontaneous Sport. Good examples of places for spontaneous Sports of different kinds are given, both from Sweden and from other countries, which have inspired a case study where I propose a redesign of a centrally located, but hardly used park in Skäggetorp, a suburb of the town of Linköping. .
