Genom att skriva den här uppsatsen vill jag uppmärksamma behovet av planering i städer i tredje världen, då urbaniseringen bidrar till att öka befolkningstrycket på dessa platser varje dag. Genom att beskriva två genomförda projekt ? där planeringen har skett för, med eller av brukare ? försöker jag visa på hur planeringsinsatser kan bidra till en ökad livskvalité för invånare i en fattig stad. Uppsatsen undersöker vilken planeringsstrategi som använts i respektive fall, vem eller vilka som agerat planerare, var initiativet kom ifrån, vilka åtgärder som genomförts samt vilka effekter som planeringsinsatserna gav. Det är viktigt att förstå att man ofta inte kan välja att använda sig av en viss planeringsstrategi utan att den uppstår beroende på vilket fall det handlar om.

The main purpose of this bachelor thesis is to create a product in the form of a database that can be used for cost estimates of equipment within bio refineries. Through interviews and literature searches the key components and their costs were identified. The database was constructed in Microsoft Excel with different tabs for different categories of components; these tabs are further divided into three parts: one part with costs, one part with calculations and an information part. Most of the part with costs contains the expenses found in scientific papers during the literature study, the calculating part converts different capacities according to user preferences and the currency to euro (?) from 2010 and the information part consists of references and information about what is included in the cost.The database is a good tool for making cost estimates for bio refineries.

Litteratur inom systemutvecklingsområdet påvisar fördelar med användarmedverkan. Fördelarna kan påverka organisationer och systemutvecklare att vilja involvera användare i utvecklingsarbetet. Det resulterar dock inte automatiskt i att fördelarna uppnås, eftersom det finns faktorer som kan påverka användare under samarbetet.Detta arbete syftar till att klargöra vilka faktorer som användare anser vara mest betydelsefulla under samarbetet och vad de anser om faktorerna. Syftet är även att klargöra vilka faktorer systemutvecklare tror att användare anser vara mest betydelsefulla och vad de anser om faktorerna. Likheter och skillnader mellan användares och systemutvecklares rangordning och kommentarer till faktorerna lyfts också fram.För att få frågeställningarna i problempreciseringen besvarade har ett antal intervjuer genomförts med användare och systemutvecklare.
