Syftet med den här studien var att ta reda på om barns lekar påverkas om lekutrymmet är begränsat. Jag blev nyfiken på den här frågan eftersom den förskola som jag arbetar på har haft tillgång till en förskolebuss i cirka två år nu. För att få svar på mina frågeställningar så använde jag mig av kvalitativa observationer på den förskolebuss som jag arbetar på. De frågeställningar som genomsyrar arbetet är. Hur påverkas barns lek när lekutrymmet är begränsat? Hur påverkar barnens kamratrelationer när lekutrymmet är begränsat och vilka konsekvenser får det för leken? Hur påverkas valet av material när lekutrymmet är begränsat och vilka konsekvenser får det för leken? Det resultatet som visades i studien var att barnen blir påverkade av att utrymmet är begränsat. Men eftersom barnen är väldigt kreativa så hittar dem på egna lösningar som gör att de kan leka i begränsade utrymmena. Barnen ligger i mittgången på förskolebussen med huvudet och händerna inne i kojan eller så står de i en soffa och leker för de har kommit underfund med att det blir mer plats att leka på. När det gäller kamratrelationer så kan man se att barnen upptäcker andra kompisar att leka med på förskolebussen än vad de brukar göra på förskolan. / The purpose of this study was to find out if children`s play is affected if the spece play is limited. I was curious about this question since the preschool I work at now has had access to a preschool bus for about two years. To answer my questions I used qualitative observations on the preschool bus. The questions that permeate th work are: How are the children play affected when the play spac is limited? How is children affected when space of play is limited and what consequences does it have for the play? how is the choice of material positively affected when the space of play is limited and what are consequences to the play? The results shown in the study are that the children are affected if the space for play is limited. But since children are very creative, they come up with own solutions that make it possible to play in the limited space. The children lie on the center aisle of the preschool bus with their heads and hands inside the hut or they stand on one sofa and play because they found out that it creates more space for play. When it comes to friendships you can see that the children discover other friends to play with at the preschool bus than they usually do at the actual preschool.

In this thesis, I analys suburb- and housing planning and interior decoration carried out primarily in Stockholm between the 1930s and the 1950s. Functionalism, the overall concept of the period, has perhaps been interpreted in terms of ideological concepts, interpreted as "democratic" and as a progressive dividing line between the past and the future. I examine how housing and suburban planning in Sweden in the mid-20th century was affected by how housing and town planning related to that period's clear class boundaries and well-defined gender roles. I analyse both rhetoric and physical planning. Whether the architect had explicit ambitions to achieve spatial differentiation of socio-economic categories, how suburban planners dealt with their historical inheritance and the principles about categorisation and spatial separation. I also analyse how ideas of class, gender and spatial differentiation of family members affected the organisation and design of rooms in the housing planning of the mid-20th century. The general conclusion of the thesis as a whole is that ideas about class, sex and familial hierarchy were reflected in functionalist housing and interior decoration. The planned suburbs in Stockholm involved explicit strategies for differentiating population categories in different suburbs. The planned suburbs, which were regarded as paradigmatic cases for the suburban planning of the period, involved explicit strategies for differentiating population categories in different suburbs, a strategy that was concretised in physical suburban planning. Terraced housing in one area, småstugor in another, blocks of flats in a third, detached houses in a fourth. Sociological arguments justified this type of suburban planning. The emotional affinity between neighbours was considered to be better if the neighbours belong to the same socio economic category. Planned homes, which were regarded as paradigmatic cases for the housing planning of this period, involved explicit strategies for differentiating family members into different rooms, distinguishing between private and public rooms within the sphere of the home, a strategy that was concretised in physical housing planning. I analyse how the magazine's editorial content contributed to producing a middle-class housing ideal. A central aspect of modern housing planning and the debate in around 1930 was the launch of the home as an essentially private sphere. The editorial team behind the magazine Hem i Sverige launched the home as a reaction against the idea of the home as essentially a private sphere, with a clear spatial hierarchy and division between different family members, between private and public spheres. I examined the participation of the Nordiska Kompaniet department store in the 1930 Stockholm exhibition. As an influential commercial actor, the store's management had a strategy of combining consumption with both benefit and enjoyment, dreams, pastimes and goal-oriented purchases. The starting point for Nordiska Kompaniet's interior decoration approach was the organisation and content of the upper middle-class home. The drawing rooms, the dining room, the serving area, the homes with clear dividing lines between private and public sphere. Family structures and familial hierarchy were emphasised on the basis of the upper middle-class family's tradition. / Forskarskolan för estetiska vetenskaper
