Abstract
The aim of this essay is to examine the Swedish air raid shelters and risk perception during the 1960’s and 1990's, how the two are related to one another, and which kind of risks have been considered most dangerous. The theoretical framework that is used to analyse the empirical framework is the risk city by Yosef Jabareen, which seeks to explain how cities cope with risk. A content analysis is performed of three reports, published in 1963, 1994 and 1995 respectively, by a military affiliated institution and two state institutions. The content analysis is paired with a case study on the prevalence of air raid shelters in two city districts in Malmö. The findings presented indicate that the amount and condition of air raid shelters did not... (More)

The content analysis is paired with a case study on the prevalence of air raid shelters in two city districts in Malmö. The findings presented indicate that the amount and condition of air raid shelters did not live up to neither the goals nor ideals in the 1960’s or the 1990’s, that risk perception have changed during the 30 years, and that air raid shelters are unevenly distributed throughout Malmö - and most likely other cities. Technology has had a major impact on risk perception in general and risk in particular, and the uncertain nature of risk has demonstrated itself. (Less)
