The concept of social sustainability is difficult to define and is often perceived as broad. The aim of this thesis is to narrow it down, in a perspective concerning the Right to the City. The thesis also aims to examine how planning for the Right to the City in conjunction with social sustainability, through planning for social mix, might lead to a process of gentrification. The object of the stu

Swedish fire and rescue services are in a transformation that shifts towards an increased focus on preventive actions as well as more strategic oriented activities within the organizations. To support and develop such types of activities, Geographical Information System (GIS) could be an effective tool to manage and analyze geographic data. This thesis aims to examine the prerequisites for develop

Segregation is a counteracting process for social sustainability. Planning practice and the pertinence of social aspects raise public participation as important. Public space, as a meeting place for people to interact, play great significance in exclusionary and inclusionary processes, with relational impacts regarding access and the right to develop the city and themselves. Gothenburg, facing com

Skåne faces great challenges for young people entering the labour market. The challenges include problems for unemployed and employers to meet. Furthermore, another challenge is all about low educational tradition.

An ongoing discussion in Sweden regards the reduced green areas as a consequence of urbanization and housing shortages. Previous research emphasizes positive effects that nature has to our health. Public outdoor environments such as playgrounds or parks are the basis of children's play in their neighborhood. To plan and create good environ-ments, for children to grow up in, is therefore necess

I detta arbete undersöks den svenska principen om dold samäganderätt till makar och sambors gemensamma bostad. Syftet med arbetet har varit att undersöka rättsutvecklingen i de båda länderna och utifrån detta undersöka i vilka avseenden det föreligger rättslikhet mellan de båda ländernas rättstillämpning, och i vilka avseenden det föreligger väsentliga skillnader.

During the year 2008, the government offered a number of different municipalities in Sweden a development agreement. The purpose of the agreement was to reduce the number of districts in Sweden, where a high proportion of residents feel a sense of exclusion, poor health and insecurity. In connection with the development agreement the Crime Prevention Council and the Statistics Office produced stat

The aim of this thesis is to explore how people interact with their environment. With increasing urbanization, cities are under more pressure to accommodate the needs of their inhabitants. Influenced by the sustainability discourse and the challenges of an increasing urban population, the outcome in many cases is densification. However, urban transformation also involves another discourse, that of

Vid förvärv av fastighet genom köp ska stämpelskatt betalas. Stämpelskatten är 4,25 % för juridiska personer och 1,5 % för privatpersoner och beräknas på det värde som är högst utav köpeskillingen och taxeringsvärdet året innan lagfarten för förvärvet beviljades. Är fastighetens värde väldigt stort kan stämpelskattekostnaden då bli väldigt hög. För att minska kostnaden för stämpelskatt kan andra fWhen buying real estate stamp duty is to be paid for the transaction.

Till skolan kommer elever med olika förutsättningar för sitt lärande. För en del elever är den ordinarie undervisningen inte tillräcklig för att nå uppsatta läromål. Inom den s.k. särskilda elevstödjande verksamheten kan skolan vidta åtgärder för elever som är i behov av extra stöd i lärandet. Inom sådan verksamhet kan uppgifter vara av allt ifrån integritetskänslig till harmlös karaktär. OffentStudents come to school with different settings for their learning. For some students the regular teaching is not sufficient to achieve the set learning goals. In the so-called special student support activities (Sw. särskild elevstödjande verksamhet), the school can take action for students who are in need of extra support in their learning. Within such activities, data can range from sensitive t

I detta examensarbete analyseras vilka möjligheter det finns att utforma ett energisystem som helt eller delvis ska försörja ett planerat bostadsområde i Höllviken. Energisystemet ska endast bestå av lokala och förnybara energikällor. De tekniker som valdes att studera var vindkraft, vattenkraft, geotermi och solenergi. Arbetets fokus låg mest på områdets förutsättningar och vilken årlig energipot

The thesis aims to investigate how a transformation, possible extension, and change of use of an historical building can strengthen the connection to the site’s history and contribute a richer variation and new qualities to a development area. This is done by making a design proposal for a current transformation project called Magasin 405. Magasin 405 is a port warehouse in Oceanhamnen at the cent

The western culture has long been on the world stage in the design, business, and cultural activities while the beautiful Chinese historical culture has been forgotten. Culture communication and acculturation improved design are fascinating fields. Combining design and business thinking is also an area that is worth to be researched. There are not many projects that have studied “cross-cultural” d

Vårdnadsrelaterade tvister har ökat markant de senaste åren. För varje tvist finns det minst ett barn som påverkas, men barn saknar i svensk rätt både talerätt och processbehörighet i dessa mål. Det finns emellertid vissa rättigheter som ska tillförsäkra att barnets intressen tillgodoses i processen; barnets bästa och barnets rätt att komma till tals. Barn har rätt att uttrycka sina åsikter och atFamily law disputes concerning child custody, residence of the child and the child’s right of access with a parent have increased significantly over the last years. This means that more children get involved in these kinds of disputes every year. In Sweden, children have no right to litigate and no procedural capacity in these proceedings. Instead there are other rights that are supposed to ensure

Underlaget för denna undersökning är den intensiva debatt som blommade ut i bland annat svensk media efter att ett hundratal kvinnor blivit sexuellt antastade under nyårsfirandet i Köln natten mellan 2015-2016. Debatten kretsade i stora drag kring huruvida övergreppen bör förstås som ett kulturellt utspel, då det framgick att gärningsmännen alla hade ursprung i Mellanöstern och Nordafrika, eller h

Studiens syfte var att beskriva individers upplevelser av att ha genomgått en överviktsoperation med påföljande kraftig viktnedgång. Specifikt undersöktes individernas förändrade kroppsuppfattning och det stöd som erhållits under övergångsprocessen. Semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes med fem personer som genomgått en överviktskirurgi och som minskat sin vikt med minst tre klädstorlekar.
