På uppdrag av säkerhetschef och kommunpolis i Lomma kommun har studie av trygghetsvärdarnas bidragande till minskad oro för bostadsinbrott hos invånarna utförts. Studien berör boende på de gator som flest gånger blivit utsatta för bostadsinbrott mellan åren 2015–2018. För att utföra studien genomfördes tjugo intervjuer med boende från de utsatta gatorna. Av intervjuerna framkommer hur trygghetsvärdarna i Lomma kommun inte bidrar till en minskad oro för bostadsinbrott hos invånarna, detta på grund av olika riskreducerande strategier som övervakningssystem, grannsamverkan samt ägande av hund. Det framgår dock en positiv syn på trygghetsvärdarna men ingen bredare kunskap i deras brottspreventiva arbete. / Regarding a collaboration agreement between Lomma municipality and the police authority in Lomma, a study has been requested. The study focuses on the question of whether the security hosts in the community contribute to reduced anxiety about burglary among the residents. To study this question twenty interviews were conducted with participants living on those specific streets which has been exposed to burglary. The interviews revealed that almost all the participants did not feel any reduced anxiety about burglary in the presence of security hosts. This because of other strategies among the participants that included safety systems, neighbourhood watch and the owning of a dog. However, all respondents concluded a positive view of the security hosts, yet with not much knowledge about their crime preventive methods.

The focus of this two year master’s thesis in Library- and Information science is the study of two Swedish Public Library buildings with the examples Lomma and Halmstad. The main goal and purpose of the thesis is to try to uncover which views and values of the public library are expressed in the examined libraries; and to what extent these views manifests are shown in its architecture. The theoretical framework is based on Raymond Williams’s cultural concepts of effective, dominant culture and the two extremities of this culture, called residual and emergent cultures. A second aspect is Yi-Fu Tuans concepts of Space and Place. The study also uses a historical background of Swedish Public Library Buildings. By close reading and textual analyses, the empirical study focuses on the municipalities’ documents surrounding the building of the library buildings in Lomma and Halmstad. The architectural perspective is studied through the architects own documents and architectural journals discussing the built Library Buildings. Results show that the technological advances of the time these libraries were built has put them in a position of change, which also is visible in the architecture. The libraries in Lomma and Halmstad function as civic icons of the community and the architecture is very dependent of the places where they are situated. The expressions of the two libraries differ in details but the overall result show that the values exhibited behind the building of the examined libraries is a part of a historical residual culture, functioning as effective and dominant. The conclusion of the thesis is that the expression of the architecture is however a part of an emergent culture. The buildings aim to comprise the values and display the diverse causes in its architecture. The buildings seek to manifest the ideal activity and working of the modern Public Library.

Levnads- och arbetsförhållanden har i mindre svenska småorter under det senaste seklet genomgått stora förändringar. Fjelie, den lilla byn i sydvästra Skåne var i början på seklet ett aktivt jordbrukssamhälle med egen järnvägsstation, lanthandel, smed, post och skola. Idag finns få spår av detta bevarat och Fjelie ger ett stillsamt intryck för den besökande. Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka Fjelies identitet och fysiska karaktär. Vidare undersöker vi möjligheter för att öka attraktiviteten och utvecklingen av byn. Syftet uppnås genom en ortsanalys, som bygger på observationer, fältstudier samt dokumentanalyser. Ortsanalysen kompletteras med en enkätundersökning samt intervjuer bland de boende i Fjelie. Resultatet visade att förändringar var något som ifrågasattes och att det även fanns en osynlig uppdelning i byn som gör det svårt att skapa en stark bygemenskap. Men det framkom att byn hade en spännande historia och att de flesta bybor önskar behålla Fjelie småskalighet intakt. / The living- and working condition has changed dramatically in small countryside villages in Sweden during the last decade. Fjelie, a small village in the countryside of the southwest of Skåne, was in the beginning of the 20th century an active agricultural village with a railway station, groceries, a blacksmith, a post office and schools. Today there is almost no trace of the history and Fjelie makes a reserved impression to visitors. The purpose of this study is to explore Fjelies identity and physical environment. For longer terms the study might help to increase the attraction and development in the village. The purpose will be persued by means of a field study with observations, interviews, an einquiry and document analysis. The enquiry and interviews indicate that any alteration was questioned and that Fjelie has an invisible classification system that makes it difficult to establish a social unity in the village. But the results also showed that Fjelie has an interesting history and the majority of the citizens want to keep Fjelies smallness.
