Ett tillgängligare Klackerup - Studie för ökad tillgänglighet i bostadsområdet Klackerup i Halmstad
Sweden is on the turn of a dramatic demographic change. The number of elderly will in the coming decade increase considerably. This also means that the need of dwellings adapted for accessibility increases. By adapting dwellings and housing areas to an increased level of accessibility, more people are given the opportunity to stay for a longer time in their habitual surroundings and the housing becomes secure for the user both in a physical and mental point of view. One of the least accessible housing areas in Halmstad is Klackerup. To make it possible for the dwellers to stay while getting older an adaptation of the accessibility in the dwellings as well as in the apartment blocks and their surroundings is demanded. The purpose of our dissertation has been to work out suggestions for appropriate actions concerning the dwellings, the apartment blocks and their surroundings. This has been performed with respect to the assumptions of the area, the requests and needs of the dwellers and the prevailing legislation.
