Active Knäred - Tourism as a driving force for urban growth
(2018) ASBM01 20181Department of Architecture and Built Environment
- Abstract
- This project is investigating how a village can be developed by using tourism as the main driving force. Knäred is a villa- ge with around 1200 inhabitants that has had a decreasing population the past 20 years. It has been decided that the old train stop will be opened for passenger transportation again. But reestablishing a train station does not automa- tically mean that a settlement will grow. To make Knäred attractive, the qualities that the natural landscape offers are used and enhanced. Knäred needs an identity and this can be found in the landscape which can generate visitors. Today the out-door life is a big asset for Knäred as it is located in the woodland of Halland’s midland. Activities such as fishing, hunting, camping, hiking... (More)

Activities such as fishing, hunting, camping, hiking and canoeing are mainly adjusted for the summer half-year, and to be a prosperous community, Knäred also needs attraction during winter. By expanding tourism attractions, more jobs will appear, and this will lead to that more people would like to live in Knäred. This will require more services and housing. And to make Knäred successful, this also needs an unique and smart design, adapted for Knäred. (Less)

- Detta projekt utreder hur en by kan utvecklas genom att ha turism som drivkraft. Knäred är en ort med cirka 1200 invånare och har haft en stagnerande befolkningskurva de senaste 20 åren. Det är besultat att den tåget återigen ska gå mellan Markaryd och Halmstad för persontrafik med up- pehåll i Knäred. Men genom att anlägga en järnvägsstatoion innebär inte per automatik att ett samhälle växer. För att kunna göra Knäred attraktivt, har de kvaliteter som landska- pet erbjuder använts och även förstärkts. Knäred behöver en identitet, och denna kan hittas i den omgivande naturen vilken kan generera folk. Redan idag är friluftslivet en stor tillgång för orten som återfinns i Hallands inland.

Knäred behöver en identitet, och denna kan hittas i den omgivande naturen vilken kan generera folk. Redan idag är friluftslivet en stor tillgång för orten som återfinns i Hallands inland. Men aktivi- teter som fiske, jakt, kanotpaddling, camping och vandring är främst anpassade för sommarhalvåret, och för att bli ett välmående samhälle behöver Knäred en attraktion under vinterhalvåret. Genom att uttöka turistattraktioner, kommer mer arbetstillfällen att skapas, vilken kan leda till att mer folk väljer att bosätta sig i Knäred. Detta i sin tur kräver mer service och bostäder. Så för att göra Knäred framgångsrikt, behövs en unik och smart gestaltning som är anpassad för just Knäred. (Less)
