In this masters paper the change that Lidköping public library went through between 1952 and 1959 is described and analysed. The aim is to describe and analyse the reactions that arose at the time that the first professional librarian, Jörgen Elgström, acted to create a modern public library in the town. The issues that are handled are: How did the local politicians and the general public react to the process of change that was started by Jörgen Elgström? What were the consequences for the staff, the premises, lending, child and youth activities? The paper is concentrated around the period 1952-1959 because this is the time when Jörgen Elgström was working in Lidköping. Jörgen Elgström has a central role in the paper. Elgström’s actions resulted in, for example, an increase in library staff, the founding of a child and youth library as well as that the library merged with the ABF library. A short history of the library’s early history is given to create background. A chapter is included on the development of the librarian profession in Sweden together with a chapter detailing three actors who during their respective periods have acted for library activities both nationally and locally. The paper is a qualitative case study that is first and foremost meant to illustrate Lidköping’s situation but it also gives examples of how it could have been in other library contexts in Sweden at the time. A large part of the empirical material consists of records and newspaper articles, so source criticism has been a suitable method to employ. The paper’s theoretical starting point consists of an actor perspective connected to a structure perspective and progresses to show how the actors integrated with society’s structure and vice versa. / Uppsatsnivå: D

Under 2018, mitt i en global miljökris, en nationell ökning av sociala klyftor och segregation, accepterade den svenska regeringen en ny nationell arkitekturpolitik, Politik för Gestaltad livsmiljö (Policy for Designed Living Environment). Politiken är förankrad i en marknadsekonomi och förmedlar olika strategier för hållbar utveckling. De sträcker sig från social hållbarhetsteorier om inkludering och tillgänglighet, ner till resurshantering, lokalt hantverk och återvinning av byggmaterial. Politiken är ett resultat av en förändrad förståelse för arkitektur, arkitekturpolitik, arkitekten och hans eller hennes roll, eller som teoretiker Kaminer och Kossak skulle hävda: roller. Detta arbete i Hållbar samhällsplanering och stadsutformning utforskar och presenterar vad som kan vara ett relevant innehåll i arkitekturbestämmelser i Lidköpings kommun. Det är resultatet av en dokumentstudie som innehåller den svenska nationella arkitekturpolitiken, lokala tolkningar av den i 12 kommuner över hela Sverige och Lidköpings kommuns Stadsutvecklingsplan för staden Lidköping. Samt, en enkät och en utökad dialog i form av en designworkshop med sex ungdomar i Lidköping om Lidköpings framtid. Detta projekt syftar till att stödja utvecklingen av lokala tolkningar av den svenska nationella politiken, och fungera som en bas för diskussion kring ämnet arkitekturpolitik i Sverige. / In 2018, in the midst of a global environmental crisis, a national increase in social gaps and segregation, the Swedish government accepted a new national architectural policy, Politik för Gestaltad livsmiljö (Policy for Designed Living Environment). The policy is situated in a market economy and conveys different strategies for sustainable development. They range from social sustainability theories of inclusion and accessibility, down to resource management, local craftsmanship and recycling of building materials. The policy is a result of a changing understanding of architecture, architectural politics, the architect and his or her role, or as theorists Kaminer and Kossak would argue, roles. This Master’s degree project in Sustainable Urban Planning and Design explores and puts forth what could be a relevant content in an architectural policy in Lidköping municipality. It is the result of a document study containing the Swedish national architectural policy, local interpretations of it by 12 municipalities across Sweden and Lidköping municipality’s City plan. As well as a questionnaire and an extended dialogue in the shape of a design workshop with six teenagers in Lidköping about the future of their town. This project aims to aid the development of local interpretations of the Swedish national policy, and, act as a base for discussion on the topic of architecture politics in Sweden.
