Halmstad is a small city located in south west Sweden, research on a national level has been done, but not on local. An additional aim is to investigate the recreation- and health discourse on a local level. The tool for the analys is the theory named Agent-and structure method.  The conclusion of this study is that the public bath in Halmstad has many similarities with former research by SOU. For example there is a connection between the choice of location, and the length of the building. However, this study also discover some new aspects, for example facts about people with disabilities.
