The theme for the essay was community planning and changed everyday life during Covid-19. The pandemic is worldwide and has affected almost everything in today's society. The essay deals with interaction in the public spaces and well-being, and how these have been affected during Covid-19 compared to before. The purpose of the essay was to investigate if young adults' interaction in the public space and well-being has been affected during Covid-19 compared to before the pandemic outbreak. Based on the purpose, two questions were formed "Has the well-being of young adults been affected during Covid-19 compared to before the outbreak of the pandemic?" and "Has interaction in the public space affected young adults during Covid-19 compared to before the pandemic outbreak?" In the essay, a quantitative study has been used in the form of a questionnaire study, this study was conducted on young adults between 18 - 29 years at Karlstads University. The results showed that both interaction and well-being in the public space were affected during Covid-19. The changing well-being due to the pandemic showed that the impact was negative. The interaction in the public space had become less during Covid-19 compared to before. In Chapter 5, the results were analyzed using our previous research and Foucault's power perspective. Finally, in the last chapter, the results were discussed to answer the questions that in turn answered the purpose of the essay. This chapter also includes a critical review section where misinterpretations and other shortcomings are addressed.
