Fittja är en av Sveriges mest brottsutsatta förorter och därför har organisationen Lugna Gatan arbetat som trygghetsvärdar i området. Efter många år lades Lugna Gatans verksamhet ner och det påverkade många i området. Men hur påverkades de? Denna studie besvarar fråge­ställningen om hur de verksamma personerna i Fittjaområdet upplevde tiden med Lugna Gatan och tiden efter att de lämnat. Intervjuer gjordes med verksamma inom området och slutsatsen var att Lugna Gatans arbete skapade en trygghet i området som saknas med den nya aktören Skyddsvärnet, men Skyddsvärnet har däremot lyckats med att förbättra arbetet inom skolan till skillnad från Lugna Gatan.

This study is an analysis of the traffic situation for pedestrians and bicyclist, unprotected road users, in Accra’s Central Business District. A Swedish method, Calm streets, is used to identify conflicts in the mixed traffic situation. The findings reveal a large amount of conflicts between unprotected road users and motor vehicles. These conflicts cause congestions which have negative implications on the environment, health and economy. In addition an assessment of the quality of and access to pedestrian and bicycle facilities were conducted. This assessment indicates that the quality and access to the facilities are in general low, especially for the disabled, elderly and children. A larger Traffic Network Analysis and a Cost Benefit Analysis are needed to address these problems for stakeholders and decision makers.
