Abstract
This study examines the concept of nudging in connection to sustainable development in the new district Brunnshög, in Lund. The aim has been to analyse whether the physical planning in Brunnshög can contribute to a sustainable city and an ecological sustainable behaviour in residents and visitors of Brunnshög. Hence, two research questions were formulated; To what extent does municipal planning try to influence the behaviour of residents and visitors in Brunnshög? and In what ways does the municipality work to ensure that residents and visitors in Brunnshög can act ecologically sustainable in terms of sustainable transports, cultivation opportunities, waste management and sharing economies? In order to answer the questions, two methods... (More)
This study examines the concept of nudging in connection to sustainable development in the new district Brunnshög, in Lund. The aim has been to analyse whether the physical planning in Brunnshög can contribute to a sustainable city and an ecological sustainable behaviour in residents and visitors of Brunnshög. Hence, two research questions were formulated; To what extent does municipal planning try to influence the behaviour of residents and visitors in Brunnshög? and In what ways does the municipality work to ensure that residents and visitors in Brunnshög can act ecologically sustainable in terms of sustainable transports, cultivation opportunities, waste management and sharing economies? In order to answer the questions, two methods were carried out, a document analysis and an interview. Both the interview and the documents were coded on the basis of four nudging tools and the results were later analysed compared to theories about behaviour and nudging as well as theories about sustainable actions. The study shows that the Lund municipality uses some of the nudging tools in their planning and that they are actively planning for behavioural changes. The greatest work is within sustainable transports and when it comes to sharing economies, there are improvements to be made. (Less)
