This case study, ?The sense of place in a courtyard in Gothenburg?, examines whether the city planners? vision correspond to the residents? perception regarding the sense of place and the physical environment in a courtyard in Gothenburg. By carrying out a questionnaire survey, the inhabitants? perception has been explicated, which we have then compared to the total vision for the design of the courtyard that we have gathered from doing interviews with the planning executive, the developer and the landscape architect as well as reviewing the development plan. The study has shown that the vision coincides relatively well with the residents? perception, but it differenciates when it comes to social aspects. This can be dependent upon the neighborhood being so new and that the sense of place, which is constantly being reevaluated, might need time to develop. Regarding the planning process there are many participant actors, which results in the fact that a holistic perspective such as sense of place might be overlooked, why it is important that the term sense of place is integrated in all the levels of the planning process. The conclusion is that the courtyard has a relatively good sense of place judging from our parameters, despite this it is not used actively by the residents. The planners? vision for the courtyard of Spilkumen coincides relatively well with the residents? perception regarding the sense of place, which furthermore has the potential to develop in the future with the help of the housing cooperative.
