De kan inte hantera trafiksituationer på ett rationellt sätt och har lite förståelse för konsekvenserna. I detta arbete studerades sex områden i närheten av skolor i Lund och Malmö för att bestämma hur väl de passade barnens behov och hur mycket trafik de genererade. Olika kriterier för hur barnvänligt ett område är baserades på dokument från kommunerna och tidigare studier. Denna... (More)

Olika kriterier för hur barnvänligt ett område är baserades på dokument från kommunerna och tidigare studier. Denna studie fann att områdena nära skolorna inte uppfyllde många kriterier och kunde ses som otrygga och/ eller osäkra för barn att använda oberoende. Detta trots att kommunerna säger sig prioritera barnen och deras intressen. (Less)

In this work six areas in the vicinity of schools in the municipalities of Lund and Malmö were studied to determined how well they suited the needs of children and how much traffic they generated....
