The urban planning process in Sweden encompasses all design and development of the physical environment in society. It involves a large number of actors and a large amount of data. To be as effective as possible the exchange of data between actors needs to become easier and more effective. This thesis explores how a digital platform for urban planning can be designed to facilitate the exploration of and access to information within urban planning. The method followed an iterative design process based on the UX lifecycle by Hartson and Pyla. Interviews were conducted with potential users to learn about their wants and needs, and research was done on the urban planning process to gather the theory on the subject matter domain. The result of the thesis is a UX prototype of a digital urban planning platform. The prototype was designed in Figma and tested on potential users in a design walkthrough and a usability test together with an interview. The results also show what type of functionality is important for users in this type of platform.

Environmental sustainability has in recent years become an increasingly current issue and so also in the urban planning process, which has led to municipalities working on implementing this in their daily work. This study aims to explore how goals for environmental sustainability are taken into consideration in the urban planning process. This is done by studying the practical enforcement of environmental sustainability goals in the urban planning process. The study was conducted through interviews with municipal officials working in Göteborg, Linköping and Norrtälje, as well as analysis of governing documents. The result suggests that municipal ownership of land, clear objectives in governing documents and constructive dialogue with developers are important to provide good conditions for implementing environmental sustainability goals in the urban planning process. However, the municipality's resources can influence to which extent this work can be conducted. / Miljömässig hållbarhet har på senare år blivit en allt mer aktuell fråga och så även i stadsbyggnadsprocessen, vilket har lett till att kommuner försöker hitta sätt att implementera detta i sitt dagliga arbete. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur mål om miljömässig hållbarhet tas i beaktning i stadsbyggnadsprocessen. Det görs genom att studera den praktiska tillämpningen av miljömässiga hållbarhetsmål i stadsbyggnadsprocessen. Studien är genomförd genom intervjuer med kommunala tjänstepersoner verksamma i Göteborg, Linköping och Norrtälje, samt analys av styrdokument. Resultatet tyder på att kommunalt ägande av mark, tydliga styrdokument och en konstruktiv dialog med byggherrar är viktigt för att skapa goda förutsättningar för implementering av miljömässiga hållbarhetsmål i stadsbyggnadsprocessen. Men att kommunernas resurser kan påverka vilken utsträckning detta arbetet kan genomföras.

The aim of this Master Thesis is to introduce the term of the land use limits in context with the urban planning process and protection of environment. The first and second chapter contains of the specification and clarifications of the key terms - land use limits, urban planning process, its instruments, urban planning documentation etc. Third chapter of the Master thesis defines the function and status of the land use limits in the urban planning process. Following chapter which includes the introduction of the individual types of the land use limit including the concrete examples which we can encounter in the urban planning process and which are important for the protection of the environment. The key fifth chapter includes the analysis of the issues of the land use limits classification in the land use plans according to the previous legal regulation and according to the contemporary legal regulation. The explanation of the differences between the municipal land use plan adoption processes follows. In conclusion there is an analysis of the incorrect classification of the land use limits in the land use plans and its consequences. The important part of this analysis is the introduction of case law of the Supreme Administrative Court of the Czech Republic related to this issue (including the case...
