Throughout the last decades the linear urban development in Stockholm can be retraced to the idea of supply and demand, society’s view on the elimination of risk, while increasingly detaching from natural processes. This thesis offers a critical evaluation of the socio-economic situation of space production, while trying to argue for a new semantic recodification of urban organisational processes while reconnecting to a socio-biodiverse narrative. Through the research, the defining parameters and actors of space production and urban planning are examined on their participational, circular and inclusive potential. Motivated by the need to renegotiate the current narrative of architecture, the site of exploration is Bergs Hamn in Nacka, an industrial oil cistern park built in the 50s. The project aspires to find new ways of thinking and communicating architecture within and outside of the academic field through architectural and theoretical actions and interactions, writing and dreaming about space as a fluid and changeable matter.

Nacka kommun genomgår stora förändringar av projektet Nacka stad som innebär nya bostäder, kommersiella fastigheter och tunnelbanestationer. När ett område inom en kommun förändras har det visats att detta ger en effekt angående bostadspriserna i andra närliggande områden. Studiens syfte blir därav att se vilken effekt infrastruktursatsningar har på bostadspriser i Jarlaberg och Storängen i och med projektet Nacka stad. Detta har lett till frågeställningen; Vilken effekt kommer projektet Nacka stad ha på bostadspriserna i Jarlberg och Storängen? Studien grundas på teorier angående fastighetsvärdering, pristeori, lokaliseringsteori och restidsvärdering. Två typer av datainsamling har använts; Booli och en enkätundersökning. Utöver detta har även en litteraturstudie gjorts. Resultatet visar på att Nacka stad kommer att medföra en positiv effekt på bostadspriserna i Jarlaberg. Angående Storängen anses inte tillräckligt med relevant data och information innehas för att kunna dra några slutsatser. / Nacka municipality is undergoing major changes because of the project Nacka stad, which involves new housing, commercial properties and metro stations. When an area within a municipality changes, it has been shown that this influence housing prices in other neighboring areas. The aim of this study is therefore to see what effect infrastructure investments have on housing prices in Jarlaberg and Storängen, because of the project Nacka stad. This has led to the framing of the question; Which effect will the Nacka stad project have on housing prices in Jarlaberg and Storängen? The study is based on theories of property valuation, price, location and residual evaluation. Two types of data collection have been used; Booli and a survey. In addition, literature studies have also been carried out. The result shows that Nacka stad will have a positive effect on housing prices in Jarlaberg. Regarding Storängen, there is not enough relevant data and information to be able to draw any conclusions.

The purpose of this study is to determine what alternative forms of assessments are being practiced in a public school with an international programme and to explore the teachers` attitudes towards the use of alternative assessment procedures. Various assessment models and strategies have been investigated and discussed, as pre¬senting a part of the educational practice in the primary classrooms that engage the International Baccalaureate/ Primary Years Programme at the elementary school level (age range 6-11) in the years 0-5. While defining my research problem, I have started from hypothesis that practicing of alternative assessment has an important positive role in the international schools supporting, promoting and improving student learning. International schools are facing both challenging and complexity of assessment pro¬cess while striving to apply both national and international programs` recom¬menda¬tions concerning the testing. Alternative forms of assessments are being used in conjunction with other forms of assessment, such as standardised tests, in order to assess both student perfor¬mance and the intentions of the International Baccalaureate/ Primary Years Pro¬gramme. This paper investigates what alternative assessment practices (portfolio, perfor¬mance assessment, Exhibition, self-assessment) are being applied and used in the same school where the standardised tests are also being applied and used (text book tests, teacher-made tests, local and national test). The hypothesis was supported and the study findings suggest that various types of assessments are needed to be utilized in order to fairly evaluate students` needs as well as that alternative assessment has an important positive role meeting individual student’s needs supporting a process of learning.
