In recent years, a densification of Uppsala's city center has taken place. Construction works are now happening closer to existing buildings than before. This raises the question of how the construction industry interferes with those already living and working in the area more relevant than ever before. This degree project investigates the extent to which the construction of Gränby Entré affects Gränbystaden's customers. The disorders that affect most are investigated and recommendations for how Atrium Ljungberg should work with disturbances in the future is being developed. This was investigated through surveys with the visitors and interviews with key people in the project. A total of approximately 400 surveys were done, half of which was done in paper form in Gränbystaden's mall and half from a web-site marketed via Gränbystaden’s Facebook page. The disorders investigated are parking problems, noise, waste and dust, light, vibration, and closed or different routes. The result of the survey shows that parking problems and route changes are the disorders that are considered to affect the most. Then there will be rubbish and dust, then noise, light and last vibration. The survey has also examined how visitors would like to get information about the construction works. Here, the answers differ quite a bit between the web survey and the paper survey, but there’s a trend towards social media, but also a desire to get the information in paper form. The study has resulted in recommendations to Atrium Ljungberg on how the problems should be addressed in the future. I suggest that they should use social media in the future to inform about construction works and send out information by mail to the immediate area in case of major disturbances. They should review bicycle and walkways to and from the mall as well as create routines for cleaning around the construction site.
