Communal documents are a major part of the background facts to the essay to give the reader a better understanding of the municipality. Interview data from people with different roles within the project forms a major part of the empirical material because of the lack of document with personal opinions. A literature study was conducted to gain an understanding of why the concept of place branding has become popular.
The community has been identified by history, demographics, and geographic location and former research on the subject place marketing has been studied and is discussed in the theoretical part. Also relevant articles and communal documents have been studied to get an enlarged insight on Eslöv and “The image of Eslöv”.
The methodology consists of three different approaches: participant observation, a pilot study and six quantitative research interviews with six key players to get the new material.
The study results showed that Eslöv uses several different approaches to attract residents, visitors and new businesses. It was also revealed that all respondents have the same goals with the community project, which is to produce a distinct image that everyone can support and be proud of. (Less)
