Social media is described in previous research as a tool for government to create more efficient processes, more open management, and participation and influence in the democratic process. The purpose of the paper is to study how municipalities interact with citizens on their official Facebook pages. The essay is a quantitative study where all municipalities with an official Facebook page have been investigated. The study describes the purpose for which municipalities use the official Facebook page and explains whether there is a connection between the municipality's activity on Facebook and contextual factors in the municipality such as size, capacity, political context and modernity. By collecting data during a month from all municipalities that have an official Facebook page, a total of 260 and by text analysis, encode these into three different types, push-strategy, pull-strategy and combination-strategy, five hypotheses should be answered regarding the municipality's activity. The material is analyzed by two different quantitative methods; univariat analysis and multivariate regression analysis. The result shows that the vast majority of municipalities use Facebook primarily for one-way communication (push-strategy) and that the variables chosen to test the theories regarding size, capacity, political context and modernity did not show linear relationships.

Parents today can be very stressed at the drop off and pick up of their children, this leads to that they sometimes miss important information that is pinned to the walls for example. Papers has the ability to disappear, a blog collects all in one place. Today, almost everything is digitized. This study has examined what a blog is and how schools and preschools can use it. The blog is used as a communication site for the preschools and school. This exam graduate work is made of three blog analysis, the analysis is made to see if the blogs can help the preschool and school to communicate wiht the parents. The theory I have decided to use in this study is the sociocultural theory. This theory is based on the interaction between society and the induvidual people. Everything that happens aorund us is affecting us. The theory also talks about mediation, mediation is a way to use tools. The tools is used as a way to understand the society or to deciede how to act. Surveys were used to collect the information for my study, the survey was sent to three pedagogues. The pedagogues that I choose is the ones conneted to the blogs I analysed. I used the answers to the surveys for my results. The study had som mixed results, the results of the study was based on the interest from both the parents and the pedagogus. A blog can never be used as the only source too infomration in a school if not both parents and pedagogues is intrested to use it. But a blog can be a very good complememt to only papers.

Esta pesquisa procura investigar o processo de projeto na arquitetura e como o mesmo passou a ser influenciado nas últimas décadas pelas ferramentas digitais que surgiram desde então. Busca estabelecer uma visão sobre o projeto arquitetônico questionando a existência de um novo paradigma. Para isso analisa a produção acadêmica brasileira dos últimos anos que exploraram ou desenvolveram teorias sobre a utilização de ferramentas digitais afim de estabelecer um ponto de partida. Através da bibliografia expõem uma visão e uma defesa de uma forma de projetar e de como as ferramentas digitais podem auxiliar este processo sem criar deturpações de uso. Por fim o texto contrapõem duas arquiteturas: a arquitetura silenciosa - sóbria - que busca adequar-se à cidade e tão bem aguenta o passar do tempo e a arquitetura digitalista, focada no "inusitado", que está muito mais voltada à possibilidade de exploração midiática da edificação e que tantos problemas traz aos usuários e à sociedade. / This research investigates the design process in architecture and how it came to be influenced in the past few years by digital tools which emerged since then. It seeks to establish a vision about the architecture design methods by questioning the existence of a new paradigm. Thereunto it analyzes the Brazilian academic production of the past few years which explored or developed theories about the use of digital tools in order to establish a starting point. Through literature, it exposes a vision and a defense of a way of designing and how digital tools can assist this process without creating distortions of its use. Finally, the text contrasts two types of architecture: the silent, sober architecture, which seeks to adapt to the city and as well support the passage of time and changes of its uses, and the "digitalist" architecture, focused on the "unusual", which turns to the possibility of the media exploitation of the building and the many problems it brings to users and society.
