Abstract

Against the existing complexity of sustainable development, especially surrounding the social dimension of it, this study had the purpose to explore how this affects the urban planning of the Swedish municipality Kungälv. Accordingly the aim of this paper has been to discover how the social dimension is planned for in the municipality’s different planning documents for the area of Ytterby, Kungälv. The theoretical framework consisted of doing an account of the very different ideas, meanings and illustrations of the concepts to truly give an understanding of the mentioned complexity. Other ways to answer the research questions was to conduct a document analysis, and a minor case study, of the planning documents of the municipality. The categories of the document analysis were ‘residential area’, ‘movements’ and ‘ vulnerable social groups’ which is a part of the social dimension. The findings showed that Kungälv has an awareness about working for sustainable development and the social dimension. However, it was difficult to follow the set goals from the municipality’s planning documents as the concretization does not seem to increase. In other words it might be challenging to see how the categories from the study’s document analysis will operate and contribute to Kungälv’s social dimension. (Less)
