Bra läge men dåligt rykte : En jämförande historisk studie av tre stadsdelar i Borås, Eskilstuna och Gävle / Good location but bad reputation : A comparative historical study of three city sections in Borås, Eskilstuna and Gävle

Sundin, Mats January 2007 (has links)
<p>Centrally located problem areas of today, with suburban-like modernist architecture, are an anomaly in Sweden. The purpose of the present study is to investigate this Swedish anomaly by comparing three such city sections – Norrby in Borås, Nyfors in Eskilstuna and Öster in Gävle – and to try to answer the question: what type of case is this? To answer this question, a theoretical perspective distinguishing habitation, population and images is developed using concepts from Bourdieu, Elias and Scotson, Goffman, Lefebvre and Østerberg. Methodologically, this is a detailed comparative case study of the history of these three city sections in three or four phases, from before to after their thorough urban renewal in the 1960s. Once, these habitations developed in concert with their city into a working-class area, just beside the city centre, but beyond the railway station. After WWII, they became subjects of renewal, thus afflicted by a slum process that preceded demolition. The new habitation was planned for housing a working-class population. Suburban-like in shape, it was nevertheless part of an inner-city renewal. The new habitation became a target for critique already during the renewal process, a critique that was cast in the same terms as the critique of the suburbs of the time: Images of poor and troublesome outdoor milieus, social problems of different kinds, empty apartments, high turn over, immigrants and refugees were produced, in the media but also by the inhabitants and their organizations, giving the city section a bad reputation. This was to last until the present. Yet with new investment in attractive housing in adjacent brown field areas, these areas have once again become the subject of renewal. Consequently, these areas can be identified as a case of a good location with a bad reputation, emerging from the inner-city renewal of a former working-class habitation.</p>

IT i boendet : - en infrastruktur för vardagslivet

Jönsson-Brydsten, Monika January 2008 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the conditions of designing a technical solution (ICT) to assist everyday life in the home, in four objectives. First, to identify and analyse the everyday practice in terms of home-related values and activities. Second, to analyse a model for a technical and organizational developed ICT-solution in a local community. Third, to analyse the opportunities and dilemmas of ICT as a support system for everyday life, and fourth, to discuss how actors in society can interact with households in making daily life work The method of the thesis takes support in a so-called interactive research and aims to fulfill both the scientific quality criteria as well as requirements of relevancy for the practice. The thesis outlines a theoretical understanding of the individual construction of the home, based on everyday practice taking place in the home and neighbourhood, in an expanding residential landscape. The empirical parts of the thesis derive from two studies. The Husum study examines issues such as what a home is represented by, and what can be said to constitute a good home. The Vällingby study is analysing a model of a technical and organized ICT-solution in an experiment-house in a suburb to Stockholm. In this thesis ICT reinforces the home as a hub for everyday life. Households increase their flexibility and accessibility, support the relationship between people and strengthen the influence and a local foundation. ICT also creates new roles for actors in local society and evens out the landscape of everyday life.

Environmental Research as a Tool for Change : Theoretical and methodological implications from two case studies producing knowledge for environmentally sustainable housing

Elfors, Susanna January 2006 (has links)
The theme of this thesis is environmental research as a tool for change. In the first part of the thesis a “Situation of Opportunity” is studied, i.e. a situation when the opportunities to reduce negative environmental impacts are larger than usual. The maintenance of a multi- family residential area, here called a Small Neighbourhood, is studied as a series of Situations of Opportunity. To explore the prerequisites for using maintenance as a Situation of Opportunity, two case studies were carried out and reported as a licentiate thesis. The first one on the rental area Idö-Våldö in Stockholm managed by the association Stockholms Kooperativa Bostadsförening (SKB), and the second one on Järven, a housing cooperative in Malmö that cooperates with the management organisation HSB Malmö. In the study the researcher developed long-term environmental strategies based on the planned maintenance of the areas. Besides exploring the prerequisites for using planned maintenance as a Situation of Opportunity, the intention was that the studies would initiate an environmental practice within the areas studied. Results indicated that maintenance, at least in principle, creates many possibilities for reducing negative environmental impacts and that it to some extent also can be used for creating a dialogue between residents and managers. However, the conditions for using maintenance in the cases studied were limited by low interest among the residents as well as the economical and organisational prerequisites of the cases. The studies did not initiate an environmental practice as intended. The reason for that might be the mentioned conditions, but it could also depend on the researcher’s limited knowledge on action-oriented and collaborative research. Thus, the second part of the thesis aims at developing a research methodology for such research. Based on empirical experiences from the Idö-Våldö and Järven-studies and a literature study, a methodology for action-oriented research for environmentally sustainable housing (ARESH) is outlined. It is proposed that methods of action research and of case study methodology could be applied in ARESH. However, there are several potential conflicts in ARESH. The researcher has for instance to judge if the study should be led in the first hand by participants or by researchers, or if it should be more oriented towards theory than practice. One conclusion is that a research methodology for such research needs to be further discussed and also further explored in practice. Since there are indications that a collaborative and action-oriented research is evolving in the field of environmental research, it is hoped that the findings of the thesis can contribute to a discussion on how to carry out research as a tool for change / QC 20110121

Hållbar energianvändning i svensk stadsplanering : Från visioner till uppföljning av Hammarby Sjöstad och Västra Hamnen / Sustainable Energy-Use in Swedish Planning : From visions to evaluation of Hammarby Sjöstad and Västra Hamnen

Green, Anna January 2006 (has links)
Planeringsprocessen av två svenska stadsbyggnadsprojekt, Hammarby Sjöstad i Stockholm och Västra Hamnen i Malmö, med mål att nå hållbar energianvändning (förnybar energi och energisnåla hus), analyseras från vision till uppföljning. En ambition i bägge stadsdelarna var att bli internationella exempel på miljöanpassat byggande och boende, med ny teknik och förändring av de boendes beteende som strategier för att nå målen. Besluten om miljösatsningar togs av kommunpolitikerna. I Stockholm skedde styrningen genom att den kommunala förvaltningen tog fram mål och planer och i Malmö skulle en utomstående organisation styra planeringsprocessen i samverkan med kommunen. Såväl elmarknaden som bostadsmarknaden avreglerades under 1990-talet och merparten av de byggföretag och energibolag som engagerades i genomförandefasen var privata, eller privatiserades. Dessa hade delvis andra intressen än politikerna och ville främst använda beprövad teknik och ny teknik främst för ”showcase”. Styrningen från de formella styrorganisationerna hanterades olika. Projektet i Stockholm präglades av målstyrning och projektet i Malmö av samråd med målet att nå konsensus i frågor om mål och detaljutformning av områdets energilösning. Detta ledde exempelvis till att i Hammarby Sjöstad fick byggherrar och energibolag själva hitta partners för att testa nya energilösningar för exempelvis energiförsörjning. I Västra Hamnen bildade staden, energibolag och den utomstående styrorganisationen en koalition för val av lösning för energiförsörjning. I båda projekten bygger energiförsörjningen på storskaliga lösningar. Avhandlingen visar att planerings- och byggprocessens organisering, liksom byggherrarnas agerande, hade betydelse för resultatet. En slutsats är att när byggherrarna inte inbjudits att delta i framtagande av mål och planer och var missnöjda, exempelvis med förslagna mål för energiförbrukningen i Hammarby Sjöstad, bildade de hindrande koalitioner och tog makt i processerna. Oavsett om mål om begränsad energianvändning sätts i konsensus eller inte nedprioriterades livscykelperspektivet av byggherrarna av marknadsskäl, exempelvis valdes stora fönster medan installation av individuell elmätning i allmänhet valdes bort och lägenheterna utrustades för resursstarka kunder. Gestaltningsmässiga frågor prioriterades samt att bygga för resursstarka hushåll vilket innebar att byggherrarnas och kommunernas intressen delvis sammanföll. Resursstarka hushåll ger exempelvis ökade skatteintäkter för kommunerna. En slutsats är att kriteriedriven styrning, t ex tävlingar och ekonomiska bidrag, kan stimulera byggherrar att satsa extra, exempelvis på ny teknik, för att nå energimålen, men främst då i enstaka hus. De boende deltog inte i planeringsprocesserna och blev beroende av de lösningar som valts. I bägge stadsdelarna har en del hushåll haft problem med bristande värmekomfort vilket de kopplar ihop med slarv, korta byggtider och bristande kompetens i bygg- och bostadsbolagen. Uppföljning och utvärdering av projekten är framförallt kopplade till de bidrag som erhållits från svenska staten respektive från EU. / In this thesis I examine how issues regarding sustainable energy use are handled in the development of two city districts in two of Sweden’s largest cities: Hammarby Sjöstad in Stockholm and Västra Hamnen in Malmö. The political goal was to build apartments with renewable energy supply and restricted energy use. The planning processes are analyzed from plans and visions to the evaluation phase. Both areas were meant to be outstanding examples of ecological housing development. The documentation pertaining to the objectives in both projects states that, firstly, new technology will contribute to the realisation of the goals, and, secondly, that the residents’ way of living will be decisive for whether the energy objectives are reached or not. The planning of Hammarby Sjöstad village was executed by the public administration of Stockholm City, and the planning of Västra Hamnen was carried out in cooperation with the Bo01-organisation. Deregulations took place in many areas in Sweden in the 1990s, for example subsidies for housing development decreased and the market for electricity was deregulated. This led to the involvement of privately owned buildingproprietors and energy companies in the projects. These actors partly had other interests than the politicians in that the private companies wanted to use time tested technology with new technology mainly as a “showcase”. The planning in Stockholm was characterized by objective oriented steering while the project in Malmö was characterized by consultations with the goal of reaching consensus in questions concerning the goals and design of the project’s energy solutions. In both these areas the solutions for energy supply became large-scale. This thesis shows that the organization of the planning- and building processes and the extra subsidies from the government to environmentally friendly solutions affected the results. One conclusion is that when the building proprietors were not invited to partake in the planning process and was dissatisfied, for example with the goal for reduced energy use (Hammarby Sjöstad), they formed a hindering coalition and took over power in the process. Irrespective of if the energy goals were decided in consensus or not, the lifecycle perspective was not given priority from the building proprietors’ side, for example, large windows were chosen while installations for individual metering were, in general, not chosen and the apartments were well equipped with prosperous consumers in focus. Here the interests of the building proprietors and the interests of the municipalities partly coincided, as the buildings proprietors wanted to build for prosperous groups and the municipalities, in one way, saw that these households could increase the taxes for the municipality. One conclusion is that criteria-driven governing, for example trough competition, can stimulate building proprietors to contribute with an extra effort and test new technology in separate houses. No residents took part in the planning of either district. In both city districts some residents have problems with deficient warmth and comfort which they attribute to an excessively short time for construction, negligence and sometimes lack of competence. Follow-up of the projects is connected to the subsidies given to the projects from the government and the EU-level.

Stadens rum : dess betydelse och olika tiders ideal / Public spaces : significance and ideals of different eras

Eklöf, Nadine, Börjesson, Josefine January 2007 (has links)
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka stadsplanering vid tre tidsepoker. Genom att jämföra mellanrummen i staden och sedan plocka ut de positiva inslag som vi tror tilltalar de flesta människorna vill vi komma fram till hur en idealstad skulle kunna se ut. De tidsepoker vi valt är Kvartersstaden, Funktionalismens stad och Dagens byggande. För att kunna bygga framtidens städer måste man titta tillbaka och ta till vara på det som fungerat och lära sig av sina misstag. Från den korrekta kvartersstaden via det storskaliga funktionalistiska samhället till dagens förtätningar finns det tydliga likheter såväl som olikheter. Grönskan har stor betydelse för en stad och dess invånare. Människan uppskattar känslan av närhet till naturen och gröna stadsrum bidrar till en uppskattad stadsmiljö. Vi har kommit fram till att det finns vissa element som skapar en attraktiv stad. Genom ett samspel vid stadsbyggande mellan kommunen, byggherrar och de boende i staden skulle det kunna byggas städer som de flesta människor trivs i. / The main purpose with this diploma work is to examine cityplanning at three different time periods. By comparing public spaces and pick the most positive elements that we think appeals to most people, our conclusion would end up in with thoughts of an ideal city and how it would look like. The time periods we choose is the 19th-century (“blockcity”), the modernistic city and building of today. Too build the cities of the future we have to look back and learn from our mistakes and take care of the functioning elements. From the strict “blockcity” via the modernistic large-scaled society to the condensing of the present city, there are clear similarities as well as differences. The vegetation is significant to a city and its inhabitants. People appreciate the sense of closeness to nature and green public spaces contribute to an appreciated urban environment. There are certain components that in our opinion creates an attractive city. A good teamwork between the city’s planning board, property developers and the citizens is crucial to building cities that most people like.
