- Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to study how Malmö municipality perceives barriers and barrier effects in the planning process of Södra Kirseberg/ Östervärn and to analyze how these planned actions could lead to a decrease in barrier effects. A qualitative document analysis and an interview with an official from Malmö... (More)

The aim of this thesis is to study how Malmö municipality perceives barriers and barrier effects in the planning process of Södra Kirseberg/ Östervärn and to analyze how these planned actions could lead to a decrease in barrier effects. A qualitative document analysis and an interview with an official from Malmö municipality are the primary sources, which are analyzed based on conceptions of space. It is concluded that Malmö places great emphasis on physical actions such as new passageways and simplifying mobility by foot or bike in the area. By focusing on re-opening Östervärn train station and transforming old industries to attractive places for people to meet, trying to transform the area from inaccessible to accessible is vital for the municipality. This however, will take time since the area for long have been seen as a place for traffic and not for people. (Less)
