Uppsatsen behandlar ”gated community” ett känt fenomen i många delar av världen och börjar även växa fram i Sverige. Syftet med uppsatsen är att förstå begreppet ”gated community”. Mer specifikt undersöka och jämföra förhållandet mellan tre olika företags marknadsförings innehåll med definitionen av gated community och teorierna som tas upp i arbetet. Metoden utgörs av en grund givande intervju samt en text- och bildanalys av företagens respektive marknadsföringsmaterial. Den empiriska text- och bildanalysen är den huvudsakliga metoden som kommer att utgöra resultat i denna studie. Resultatet visar på att gated communities är en växande boendeform, även i Sverige är det fastslaget att företaget Victoria Park kommer att expanderas. Vad gäller företagens marknadsföring sker det en försköning då en fantasivärld målas upp på hemsidorna i kontrast med verkligheten. Fenomenet är en demonstration mot samhällets utveckling då medborgarna inte är nöjda med den urbana stadens hantering av trygghetsfaktorn. Detta leder till att en del av befolkningen tar saken i egna händer genom att flytta in i gated communities. Med andra ord leder detta till boendesegregering.

I en tid där allt fler människor bosätter sig i städer har syftet med denna studie varit att undersöka människors gränsdragningar i det urbana och framför allt vilka gränsteknologier som omgärdar det egna bostadsområdet. För att besvara studiens frågeställningar har Charles Tillys (2004) teori om beständig ojämlikhet och Richard Sennetts (2008) teori om sökandet efter gemenskap i den moderna staden varit givande utgångspunkter. Det fall som studerats är Täby kommun norr om Stockholm och i ett vidare syfte har gränsdragningar i kommunen med hjälp av Blakely & Snyders (1997) teori om Gated Communities jämförts med inhägnade bostadsområdens fysiska murar. Genomförandet har utgjorts av kvalitativa samtalsintervjuer i kombination med en observation på plats vilket lett fram till resultatet att det finns både enande och åtskiljande faktorer som omgärdar Täby. Fysiska gränser har visat sig vara det geografiska avståndet och upplåtelseformer och socialt har viljan av att bo nära familjen visat sig vara en stark faktor till att sociala flyttmönster både skapas och upprätthålls. De boende visar en kalkylerande inställning där kommunens för- och nackdelar vägs mot varandra men trots att stadslivet i Stockholm lockar så ses Täby som det bästa alternativet. Täby är lagom och kommunen där flest möjligheter tillgodoses. / In a time when more and more people are moving to cities, the purpose of this study has been to analyze lines of demarcation in the urban landscape and to see if there are border technologies that surrounds the community. Charles Tilly's (2004) theory Durable Inequality and Richard Sennett's (2008) theory on the search for communalism in today's urban landscape have been fruitful starting-points for fulfilling the aim of this study. Täby Municipality, which is located north of Stockholm, has been the object of this study and with the theories presented by Blakely & Snyder (1997) as guidelines a further aim of this study has been to compare the lines of demarcation within Täby with physical boundaries in Gated Communities. The study has been conducted with qualitative interviews in combination with an observation, and the results of the study show that there are both unifying and excluding elements within Täby. The physical boundaries that the study has shown to be present in the municipality consist of geographical distance and forms of tenure. Furthermore, the wish to be near one's family has proven to be an important factor for social migration patterns. The analyzed statements of the residents of Täby display a calculating outlook towards their choice of residency where the benefits and downsides of the municipality are weighed against each other. However, regardless of the fact that Stockholm, with its exciting city life, is an alluring option of residency, Täby is perceived as the best alternative. Täby is the adequate option and the municipality where most opportunities are presented.

Since economic liberalization period, Chinese housing typologies have experienced a dramatical change. From the traditional Siheyuan building type to the current gated communities, which prototype has become the most widespread residential housing type in modern China Cities. At the same time, many negative feedbacks about the city life have been appearing, such as traffic congestion, the loss of street vigor and the one side thousand cities phenomenon, etc, of which gated communities prototype is blamed as one of the causes. It seems that the traditional living habits had been overlooked for purpose of solving the population growth. While through the review of Chinese history changes, we could have a comprehensive understanding of the physical evolution and the social change behind it. The gated communities in contemporary China have their particular socio-political evolution process, which could not be explained directly by Western housing theory. And for the consequence, the unique tradition and the living habit, as well as the characteristic momentums during the developing process have a profound influence on the formation of Chinese gated communities, in both conceptual and materialistic way.

Has as aid the Architecture and Urbanism in order to make the town look wider, using the reading of private space, told through the evolution of house plan from the colonial period in Brazil until the buildings and Condominium Closed today. It is understood that the reading of the living space can contribute to the enrichment of the study area and the rapid transformation of the urban landscapes are undergoing today in Brazil. As a product series, the living space has been built in large cities in high scale and with a rapidity hitherto not witnessed in our country. A dialogue between architecture and geography with the law is carried out. The intersection between the three sciences enables an understanding of society as a whole, from the administrative to the citizen, as organizers and users of space. Accordingly, as a method, it was decided by the application of an empirical study, because the presentation of photos and iconographic material are significant in supporting the analysis of architects, geographers and lawyers who argue the city today. Therefore, the goal of research is to analyze the monopolistic production of the city of Ribeirão Preto, from your primary agent is the property market / A presente pesquisa contribui para análise do espaço através do estudo de caso da cidade de Ribeirão Preto, tomando como ponto de partida as metamorfoses do espaço habitado e os efeitos resultantes dessa sobre a Paisagem Urbana na cidade ocorrida na primeira década do século XXI. Tem-se como auxílio a Arquitetura e Urbanismo de forma a tornar o olhar da cidade mais amplo, usando a leitura do espaço privado, contado através da evolução da planta da casa desde o período colonial no Brasil até os Edifícios e Condomínios Fechados de hoje. Entende-se que a leitura do espaço de morar pode contribuir para um enriquecimento do estudo do Espaço e a transformação rápida que as paisagens urbanas vêm passando hoje no Brasil. Como um produto em série, o espaço de morar tem sido construído nas grandes cidades em alta escala e com uma rapidez até então não presenciada no nosso país. Um diálogo entre Arquitetura e Geografia junto ao Direito é realizado. A intercessão entre as três ciências possibilita uma compreensão da sociedade como um todo, desde o administrativo até o cidadão, como organizadores e usuários do espaço. Nesse sentido, como método, optou-se pela aplicação de um estudo empírico, pois a apresentação de fotos e material iconográfico são expressivos no apoio às análises de arquitetos, geógrafos e juristas, que hoje discutem a cidade. Portanto, o objetivo da pesquisa é analisar a produção monopolística da cidade de Ribeirão Preto, a partir do seu principal agente que é o mercado Imobiliário

Vår uppsats kommer beröra Zombies på film och fokusera på filmen Land of the Dead. Många människor upplever zombies som inget mer än monster, en fara för karaktärerna att klara sig undan. Vi vill uppmärksamma att all populärkultur i varierande utsträckning gestaltar verklighet, och analysera hur Zombies används för att gestalta aspekter av vårt samhälle.

This paper is about the current state of gated subdivisions in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. It provides a list, map, and relevant census data of the gated subdivisions in each of the three cities in the parish in which they are found—Baton Rouge, Central, and Zachary—and the unincorporated areas of the parish. It also examines comprehensive plan elements that relate to gated subdivisions, and whether actual gated developments adhere to the plan’s principles. It is important to examine gated developments in East Baton Rouge Parish because they have an effect on the social, fiscal, and public health of their inhabitants and the surrounding communities. The population of East Baton Rouge Parish is growing, which means that new housing units will be built in the near future, many in new subdivisions. The characteristics and placement of housing are major components of an area’s quality of life, and the governments in East Baton Rouge Parish have the opportunity and the responsibility to influence future quality of life by carefully and thoroughly considering their residential developments. An understanding of gated neighborhoods in the area will add to citizens’ and governments’ ability to thoroughly consider future residential development. No comprehensive list or map of gated subdivisions exists for any part of the parish. By mapping them now, and providing a “state of the parish” report, interested citizens and planners at all levels of government can track the increase or decrease of gated communities. Showing that there is sometimes a difference between a comprehensive plan’s stated objective and the reality of gated communities may encourage closer scrutiny before future gated developments are approved. / text

in English The idea of gated communities was coined in the USA in 1970s and was a result of the post-modern period and suburbanization. During modernization, cities had gone through social, cultural, political, and economical revisions. Consequently, business and residential areas in the city continued to evolve and create new forms. Following this period gated communities offered new understanding of life, security, relations, and status. Subsequently, the phenomenon has rapidly spread all around the world after the 1980s. Istanbul was introduced to the idea of gated communities in 1980s as a result of globalization by following a new vision of a Global City. Being the historical, cultural, and economic center of Turkey, Istanbul holds a great value in terms of social and economical investments. Following the international neoliberal economic trends, Istanbul has attracted many investors and a large labor force. Consequently, the rising demand of housing and business areas invigorated the real estate market in Istanbul, and gated communities were seen as a modern way of housing. As a result, a variety of gated communities were built in Istanbul to meet this new demand. In this research, the social and cultural reasons for livıng in the gated communities and their impacts towards to its residents...
