Poché and Blank: Contradiction Between Inside and OutsideWu, Yunxi January 2022 (has links)
Gasverket is a unique area in Stockholm. It is an industrial area that has been closed to the public for over a hundred years, but which retains both history and the noticeable brick architecture. I selected Gasklocka 1 as the specific site location. The noticeable facade and cylindrical volume make it a landmark that serves the city from the outside. But, what about the inside space...? I started by researching [Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture] by Robert Venturi, and continue by studying the term called [poché] that is mentioned in the book of Robert Venturi as my spatial strategy. My project aims to create a multi-function community within the existing brick facade, but in contrast to the existing brick facade in terms of function, material, space, order, and atmosphere. I hope to encourage people not only to share the history of the past in this project, but also to create memories for the future together.

Planning Green Infrastructure and Nature-based Solutions in Stockholm County : An Analysis of Comprehensive Plans since 2010 of 26 MunicipalitiesPu, Yuxin January 2022 (has links)
Bringing nature back to cities to counteract the negative impacts of rapid urbanization has resulted in a series of greening terms coined by multidisciplinary scholars to emphasize the importance of natural areas and green environment in developing cities. Green infrastructure and nature-based solutions are popular scientific terms that are used to describe planning interventions for naturalization cities, but most of their studies still focus on academic literature, lacking attention to municipal plans. This study aims to identify terms related to green infrastructure and nature-based solutions in planning, analyze how these terms are used and varied in the municipal comprehensive plans in Stockholm County, and explore if the socioeconomic factors and context of these municipalities correlate to any variation. The study used systematic mapping literature and personal communication with planners to identify the relevant terms of green infrastructure and nature-based solutions, in order to carry out quantitative and qualitative analyses of the identified terms in the comprehensive plans of the municipalities in the county using NVivo and SPSS. The quantification analyses show that the integration of these terms varies significantly among municipalities even though the number of terms grows over time; however, this variation does not follow or correlate to any socioeconomic factors that characterize the municipalities. There are also differences between municipal plans in terms of definitions, functions, and other categories of content about the use of the terms. Regional plans are found to impact narrowing these differences significantly. Thus, regional authorities are suggested to publish the core principles on these terms to ensure the consistency of understanding among municipalities. Furthermore, a diagram of these terms showing how they are currently related to each other in most of the plans is concluded as a basis for future cross-municipal and intra-regional conversations. Future studies are recommended to focus on green infrastructure and nature-based solutions in detailed plans and green plans for implementation and a deeper understanding and to have more interviews with the planners for supporting planning practices of green infrastructure and nature-based solutions in cities.

“Can you check me?” : A phenomenological study on the experience of menstruating at school in the Swedish contextNylander, Eira January 2023 (has links)
The topic of menstruation has gained traction in the last couple of decades amongst critical menstruation scholars and feminist theorists, but it was not until 2015 (“The Year of the Period”) that the topic of menstruation entered mainstream conversations, and policymakers across the globe started taking tangible steps towards menstrual equity. Yet, there is little sociological work done on menstruation, an experience that is still shrouded in stigma and taboo in many cultures. To address this gap, this study aims to explore the experiences of menstruation among young women in the Swedish context. This study uses a phenomenological approach and is based on 10 interviews with 18 young women in a Stockholm high school. From the interview data, four major themes arose: maturity, solidarity, fear & panic, and personal vs. political. These findings shed light on the complexity and situatedness of the menstrual taboo and highlight how strong social bonds and feelings of solidarity help the young women find embodied worth and develop prevention strategies. Overall, this research contributes to our understanding of the social and cultural significance of menstruation in the Swedish context amongst young Gen Z women.

Kvinnors påverkan på företags hållbarhetsprestation : En kvantitativ studie på Nasdaq StockholmBerg, Linn, Neshat Shemirani, Daniella January 2023 (has links)
Hållbarhetsfrågor blir allt mer angelägna i dagens samhälle samtidigt som samhället och dess intressenter ställer höga krav på företag att tillämpa långsiktiga hållbarhetsstrategier. Till följd av det ökade fokuset på den sociala aspekten inom företag har debatten kring kvinnliga styrelseledamöter blivit alltmer omtalad, vilket lett till att företag numera eftersträvar att skapa en balanserad könsrepresentation i styrelser. Denna kvantitativa uppsats syftar till att undersöka om det finns ett positivt samband mellan andelen kvinnliga styrelseledamöter och företags hållbarhetsprestation i företag noterade på Nasdaq Stockholm. För att undersöka om ett positivt samband föreligger tillämpar uppsatsen en multipel linjär regressionsanalys. Resultatet visar att ett signifikant positivt samband råder mellan andelen kvinnliga styrelseledamöter och företags hållbarhetsprestation, där ett starkare signifikant samband förekommer när kvinnliga styrelseledamöter uppgår till minst 30 procent. Uppsatsen bidrar med empiriska upptäckter för den svenska marknaden och företag noterade på Nasdaq Stockholm.

Exkluderande design i det offentliga rummet : Exemplet Stockholm centralstationJansson, Danielle January 2022 (has links)
Denna uppsats ämnar behandla exkluderande design i det offentliga rummet med fokus på Stockholmcentralstation. Syftet med uppsatsen är således att undersöka hur exkluderande design kan ta sig uttryck i detoffentliga rummet med huvudfokus på Stockholm centralstation samt hur exkluderande design kan tänkaspåverka diverse utsatta grupper. Detta arbete är ett kvalitativt arbete som baseras på dels diverse dokument ochplaner från Stockholm stad men även på observationer som genomförts på Stockholm central vid tre olikatillfällen. Resultatet blev att det fanns inslag av samt exempel på exkluderande design på stationen där ett av defrämsta exemplen var exkluderande bänkar samt även bristen på dessa. Utsatta grupper kan påverkas avexkluderande design på olika sätt men det är av stor vikt att sätta exkluderande design i ett större perspektiv ochdiskutera vikten av vad som menas med just exkluderande samt vilka som kan tänkas påverkas av detta. Detskulle behövas mer och vidare forskning kring ämnet för att kunna analysera och diskutera detta ytterligare.

Den imaginära marknadsföringen av Stockholm skärgårdBerhe, Caleb January 2021 (has links)
Studiens syfte är att få en djupare kunskap om hur ledande turismaktörer framställer Stockholm skärgård i deras marknadsföring genom ord, bild och film. Studiens ansats har varit av en kvalitativ sådan där en kombination av netnografisk samt visuell analys har hjälpt för att samla in datamaterial. Fyra turismaktörer valdes ut för att studera hur de framställer Stockholm skärgård i deras marknadsföring på sociala medier (Youtube och Instagram) och hemsidor. Till hjälp har författaren använt sig av teorin Imaginative Geographies för att förstå hur mytiska bilder av en plats kan få en så stor inverkan att de blir kollektivt delade meningar. Resultatet visar att olika framställningar som att Stockholm skärgård ingjuter frihet, upplevs som en helt annan värld och de fantastiska landskap är romantiseringar som marknadsförs på turismaktörernas sociala medier.

Nämdöskärgården Center for Marine Wildlife and ScienceLättman, Martin January 2022 (has links)
The outcome of this project is a proposal called Nämdöskärgården Marine Wildlife Center, located on Nämdö in the area of Östanvik. The proposal consists of a series of structures that together will function as a gate to the wildlife experience of the national park, for both educational, scientific and leisure purposes. The program is essentially divided in two main components: (1) a publicly profiled visitor center including functions such as exhibition space, science and lecture hall, bar/restaurant as well as an office space and a conference room, and (2) accommodation typologies aimed to meet the needs from a broad variety of guest constellations at any season of the year. Additionally, along the shoreline of the bay the proposal also suggests two leisure oriented structures and jetties; one bathing jetty with a sauna and locker room and one guest jetty for boats and a rental service for outdoor wildlife activities.

Påverkar kvalitet på hållbarhetsredovisning förväntad avkastning? : En kvantitativ studie på den svenska Large Cap marknadenRömmelmann, Axel, Sellbom, Marc January 2022 (has links)
Tidigare har det varit frivilligt för företag att ge ut en hållbarhetsrapport, men från och med 2017 infördes ett lagkrav där hållbarhetsrapportering blev obligatorisk för företag som uppfyller storlekskriterier som berör antal anställda, nettoomsättning och balansomslutning. Tidigare forskning har etablerat ett samband mellan kvalitet på hållbarhetsredovisning och förväntad avkastning. Det som motiverat utförandet av denna studie är att undersöka om liknande samband finns på den svenska marknaden. Syftet med denna studien är att genom en kvantitativ metod undersöka bolag som är noterade på Nasdaq Stockholm Large Cap och studera om det finns ett negativt samband mellan kvalitet på hållbarhetsredovisning och den underliggande tillgångens förväntade avkastning. Studien definierar kvalitet genom att summera befintliga mått (ESG Reporting Scope & GRI) och förväntad avkastning har estimerats genom CAPM. Studien finner inget statistiskt signifikant samband mellan kvalitet på hållbarhetsredovisning och förväntad avkastning, vilket går emot studiens hypotes och tidigare forskning.

Engagement in urban planning as a consequence of trust : an explorative study of the Slussen redevelopment project oppositionRådestad, Sofie January 2016 (has links)
This study is about the phenomenon of trust as applied in urban planning processes. The study views this concept through the lens of “the opposition” – the dissenting voices to the official narratives of urban planning projects. The main focus in this context is Slussen in Stockholm, Sweden, which is a majorly important redevelopment project as well as a source of heated debate. The methodological approach is qualitative research. The data collection relies on interviews and a discourse analysis of text and language. The interviewees are chosen based on their experience of, or participation in, opposition against the Slussen redevelopment project. The theoretical literature and the interviews are analysed through the theoretical framework of Erik Blennberger’s six analytical themes of trust. This enables a systematic detached approach to analysing the subjective interviews as well enabling a comparison between empirical evidence and relevant theoretical literature. This process resulted in seven categories of (dis)trust emerging from the interview material, which in turn resulted in the conclusion that, based on the study’s main findings three factors were the possible reasons behind the opposition of the Slussen redevelopment project: (1) Slussen as a unique space, (2) Debate character, (3) Authority. Based on these empirical findings and their comparison to the theoretical literature, the study concludes that trust depends on people’s perceptions of trustworthy actions of those who initiate change. That by exploring trust in the statements of oppositional networks over time it is possible to better understand issues regarding implementation of urban planning projects. / <p>QC 20161129</p>

Design Elements of Shop Facades and Affordances : a case study in Stockholm / Butikfasaders designelement och användningsmöjligheter : en fallstudie i StockholmMorimoto, Mei January 2019 (has links)
As inhabitants on the earth and as designers in societies, we always think and try to make the world better, to be sustainable. Regarding everyday life in city, to enhance social sustainability, it is revealed that walkability and diversity mean a lot to livability and lovability. Building façades affect peoples’ walking behavior (Choi, 2012), and an area has better be with a good mix of residence and commerce etc. So in this study, focusing on shops which everyone has access to, I tried to seek a hint how to encourage shop owners to make the façades lively by themselves. Why by themselves is related to the idea of bottom-up urbanism that came up from a people- first point of view. The main theory used is affordance theory, originally defined as “what it offers the animal, what it provides or furnishes” (Gibson, 1979, p.127). With this, the study considered three affording-afforded relationships, that is, architects-shop owners, shop owners-shop owners, and the whole environment around façades- pedestrians, only the former two were investigated this time though. Using pixel analysis with photos, arrangement of elements around façades, its tendency, and whether cluster by elements exists or not were studied. After the investigation done, the study was concluded suggesting to reflect the result of observation on peoples’ behavior with affordance, and perhaps to make a design guide as a feedback from the world of everyday tactics to that of strategy, that are supposed to be closer, to make them in a loop to go on.
