Drawing on earlier research, and using observations as the method, this study presents a design of a nature playscape for children. Applying outdoor pedagogy to the fundamental structure of a specific location, the study proposes a design of a playscape, over a more obvious design, for instance one based around a quiz walk.The theoretical framework is Gibson?s theory of affordance, and the goal has been to create a "play flow". The study concludes that spatial rhetorics can be an important tool when teaching children about nature..

I detta examensarbete har jag undersökt elevers beteenden och handlingar i en trä- och metallslöjdssal i en 6-9 skola utifrån James J. Gibsons Affordansteori, The theory of affordances, vilken inriktar sig på de handlingserbjudanden - Affordanser - en viss miljö erbjuder individen. Studien har grundats på antagandet att trä- och metallslöjdssalen är en miljö vars särpräglade karaktär, full av virke, verktyg, maskiner och slöjdföremål, har en särskilt stark inverkan på eleverna och i detta tenderar att inbjuda till handlingar som kan resultera i konflikter vilka kan utgöra säkerhetsrisker. Syftet har därmed varit att försöka identifiera och analysera för slöjdsalen typiska handlingar, som ur ett lärar- och säkerhetsperspektiv kan betraktas som oönskade. Jag har huvudsakligen tagit stöd i forskning kring miljöpsykologi med inriktning mot lärandemiljöer, samt forskning kring skolans slöjdverksamhet.

The increased interest in relationship marketing and the potential of the Internet as a platform for relationship building activities have given rise to new ways for companies to interact with their customers, such as services based on a freemium pricing model. Based on the premise that relationships are processes consisting of interactive moments of value-creating activities, value is considered subjective, relative and dependent on the context in which the activity takes place. Value is therefore variable given its context and cannot be pre-defined without nuances being lost. Despite the Internet's given role in societal development, our understanding of what contributes to customers' intentions to build relationships with online services is yet to mature.As the music industry is well established on the Internet, alongside the change in how music is consumed, it is thus appropriate to examine activities in accordance with a freemium based service that distributes music online, since it still lacks in academic understanding.This study aims to provide insights about virtual relations and how online services that provide cultural content should relate to there users as well as contributing to the ongoing academic discussion regarding value and how it is manifested by highlighting contextual impact on relational activities. For a rapprochement of relations to online services in cultural industries, this study assumed a practice perspective.
