The study aims to investigate the current process for vacation exchange at Karlstad municipality to elicit system requirements for a future system. The investigation includes creating an understanding of the vacation exchange process, the roles involved, and their tasks performed in the process. Further, the limitations, the information used, and the decisions made in the vacation exchange process were also a part of the investigation. The investigation of the vacation exchange process is performed by analyzing an internal document from Karlstad municipality and interviews conducted with the three roles involved in the process. The interviews are transcribed, summarized, and modeled by process models using 2c8 Modeling Tool to explain the vacation exchange process, inputs, and outputs, and the tasks each role performs. The findings showed three specific categories in the vacation exchange process that should be improved when a future system is designed and developed to support the process. The three found categories were: lack of information, information flow, and distribution of responsibilities. In conclusion, the future system should have a function to notify the roles involved. Information used in the vacation exchange process should be gathered and easily accessible in the future system. Further, the future system should support communication between the roles involved in the vacation exchange process, as well as include functions for back-up, digital sending of documents, and facilitate rarely performed tasks. Lastly, the future system should define the responsibilities for each role to balance the tasks each role performs in the process.

This licentiate thesis analyzes preferences among Swedish vacationers during the period of 1938-1959. The aim of the thesis is to closely examine these preferences in order to contribute to a more fully developed understanding of holiday-related consumption during the period. The thesis provides an in-depth analysis of the contents of the preferences and also analyzes the kind of consumption related to those preferences. The material on which this thesis is based consists of written recollections gathered from informants who, in response to a list of questions, described their own, past holiday experiences. An important overall result is that holidaymakers desired change. Informants sought contrast to their everyday lives. The strong desire for change had an impact on all areas of holidaymaking. Informants believed that the best way to relax was through a complete break from their ordinary lives. They appreciated meeting new people, being in new places and seeing different natural surroundings than what they encountered on a daily basis. All this meant that they needed to go away. Consequently, travelling was highly appreciated by the informants. The strong desire for change and the different expressions this took has not been fully understood before, nor has it been known that travelling was of such importance already at this time. That change and travel were such important aspects of holiday life provided strong incentives for consumption. A journey often required several modes of consumption, not only those that were directly travel-related. Travelling promoted consumption in a dynamic manner. / Licentiatuppsatsen gäller semesterfirande svenskars preferenser år 1938-1959. Uppsatsens syfte är att närmare undersöka preferenserna för att på så sätt bidra till en mer ingående förståelse av periodens semesterrelaterade konsumtion. En fördjupad analys görs av preferensernas innehåll. Dessutom analyseras vilken typ av konsumtion som kan knytas till preferenserna. Som material används nedskrivet minnesmaterial där informanter, även kallade meddelare, som svar på en frågelista redogör för egna, tidigare semestrar. Ett viktigt övergripande resultat är att semesterfirarna önskade omväxling. Det starka önskemålet om omväxling slog igenom på semesterns alla områden. Meddelarna ville ha kontrast till sina vardagliga liv. De menade vidare att de bäst fick vila genom att helt koppla av från sin vanliga vardag. De uppskattade att göra nya bekantskaper, att vistas på nya platser och i annan natur än den de såg till vardags. Allt detta innebar att de behövde åka iväg under semestern. Att resa var också mycket uppskattat bland informanterna. Det starka önskemålet om omväxling och de uttryck detta tog sig har inte varit känt tidigare, inte heller att uppskattningen av att resa var så stark redan vid den här tiden. Att omväxling och resa uppfattades som så viktiga i semesterlivet gav dessutom starka incitament till konsumtion. En resa krävde oftast flera slag av konsumtion. Resandet uppmuntrade dessutom till andra former av konsumtion än de direkt reserelaterade. Det är tydligt att det fanns en konsumtionsfrämjande dynamik i resandet. / Konsumtion och livsstilar i Sverige 1900-1965

Den här studien undersöker huruvida anställda i restaurangbranschen har kännedom och möjlighet att nyttja sina rättigheter. Studien har genomförts med ett medarbetarperspektiv. En kvalitativ undersökning genomfördes med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer. Respondenterna har olika befattningar och arbetsplatser, detta ger en helhetsbild av restaurangbranschen. Huvudfokus vid intervjutillfällena har varit dygns- och veckovila, samt betald semester. Resultatet visar både likheter och skillnader mellan respondenternas upplevelser. En del respondenter hade tidigare reflekterat över frågorna, därför användes två mer djupgående intervjuer som nyckelintervjuer. Idén till studien uppkom ur tidigare forskning som visar att anställda i restaurangbranschen har svårt att få inflytande på arbetsplatsen. Vår förhoppning är att studien ska bidra till ökad kunskap kring vilka rättigheter man har som medarbetare i restaurangbranschen. / This study examines whether employees within the restaurant industry are aware of and have the freedom to make use of their rights. The study has been carried out with an employee focused perspective. We conducted qualitative research using semi-structured interviews. The respondents obtain different positions and work at different workplaces which helps create a big picture of what the restaurant industry looks like. The main focuses during the interviews was on the daily rest period, weekly rest and paid vacation. The results show both similarities and differences between the respondents' experiences. Some respondents had previously reflected on the matters, therefore two of the more in-depth interviews were used as key interviews. The idea for the study arose from previous research that shows that employees in the restaurant industry find it difficult to gain influence in the workplace. Our hope is that the study will contribute to increased knowledge about what rights you have as an employee in the restaurant industry.

Given a sloping wooded site in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, the problem of the thesis project was to design a retreat that would fit the environment and the people that would inhabit it. It was a searching for the interdependence between the landscape and the building. Equally important was a search for a structure that would give architectural integrity to the house. The design process included a time of discovery and clarification of values and priorities. Two additional steps during the schematic design were processes architect Charles Moore referred to as"mapping" and"collecting''. These processes help to establish relationships between the inhabitants and things they recognize. Structural elements of post and beam construction gave a sense of order in the design layout and helped to organize the spaces within the form of the house. A system of equidistant columns formed by four wood posts also provided the physical linkage between the building and the site. Native field stone was used for the large piers that supported the columns as well as for the perimeter walls of the living room structure. The inner landscape of the house, the pathways, the rooms and the machines within them, developed from the basic idea that the building would grow from a central axis or “spine” that originated from the outside at the street's edge, extended across the site,and moved into the building to become the main artery of the structure as well as the connection between outside and inside. / Master of Architecture

The maritime summer vacation and the coastal urbanization phenomena are directly related to the valuation of coastal areas by the spread of modern maritime practices (bathing, vacation and tourism) in these areas. Modern maritimity introduces new possibilities for list of companies with the sea and the coastal areas, making it the primary locus for holding leisure activities and housing (temporary or permanent). In this scenario, it is clear that the increasing urbanization of coastal areas is related to the spread of modern maritime practices. To understand the changes in coastal areas resulting from urbanization and modern maritime practices, it is taken as an object of study the expansion of maritime summer vacation in Barra de São Miguel coastline, a city located in the south coast of the state of Alagoas. Since the beginning, maritime summer vacation in Barra de São Miguel receives a strong influence from the capital Maceio through the expansion of it´s urban tissue towards the south coast. The urban morphology, marked by urban divisions and accumulation of second homes, is a result of how the coast of Barra São Miguel is achieved by Maceio city, showing its influence in the formation of spatial forms prevalent in the city. The summering people, municipal and state authorities, real estate entrepreneurs and the people who live in local beaches are social subjects involved in the process of the making of urban morphology in Barra de São Miguel. The document is the result of the methodological practices based on the following stages: a) bibliographic and documentary research; b) field research; c) informal interviews. / A vilegiatura marítima e a urbanização litorânea são fenômenos diretamente relacionados à valorização dos espaços litorâneos mediante a propagação das práticas marítimas modernas (banhos de mar, veraneio e turismo) nos espaços litorâneos. A maritimidade moderna instaura novas possibilidades de relação das sociedades com o mar e os espaços litorâneos, tornando-o lócus prioritário para a realização de atividades de lazer e moradia (temporárias ou permanentes). Neste cenário, é possível afirmar que o incremento da urbanização dos espaços litorâneos está relacionado à disseminação das práticas marítimas modernas. Para compreender as transformações nos espaços costeiros decorrentes da urbanização e das práticas marítimas modernas, toma-se como objeto de estudo a expansão da vilegiatura marítima no litoral de Barra de São Miguel, município localizado no litoral Sul do Estado de Alagoas. A vilegiatura marítima na Barra de São Miguel recebe desde o início uma forte influência da expansão do tecido urbano de Maceió em direção ao litoral Sul. A morfologia urbana, marcada por parcelamentos e aglomerados de segundas residências, é resultado de como o litoral de Barra de São Miguel é alcançado pela cidade de Maceió, evidenciando sua influência na constituição das formas espaciais predominantes no município. Desta forma, os veranistas, o poder público municipal e estadual, os empreendedores imobiliários e moradores dos municípios circunvizinhos são sujeitos sociais envolvidos no processo de constituição da morfologia urbana resultante em Barra de São Miguel. A metodologia para desenvolver a pesquisa constitui-se das seguintes etapas: a) pesquisa bibliográfica e documental; b) entrevistas; c) pesquisa de campo.
