Hälsa och samhällsbyggnad i undervisningen på Chalmers arkitekturutbildningen
- 2011
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Den här rapporten är resultatet av den förstudie som genomfördes av Chalmers Arkitektur och Mistra Urban Futures under hösten 2010 på uppdrag av Folkhälsoinstitutet. Förstudien har haft som mål att undersöka möjligheterna att utveckla undervisningsinsatser som betonar kopplingen mellan (folk)hälsa och den byggda miljöns gestaltning och organisation. Rapporten beskriver de insatser som görs i Chalmers arkitekturundervisning idag samt kommer med förslag till hur utbildningen ska kunna hantera hur den byggda miljön kan bidra till invånarnas möjlighet att välja hälsa. Målet är att de förslagna satsningarna ska ge redskap att kunna föra resonemang i undervisningen kring ämnet arkitektur, stadsplanering och hälsa, ge verktyg för att tillämpa sådan kunskap i arkitektur- och planeringsarbete samt vara en vägledning såväl under studenternas projektarbeten som i deras framtida yrkesliv. Undersökningen har utförts genom litteratursökning, intervjuer med kursansvariga lärare, analys av kursprogram samt två workshops. Baserat på detta material och med inspiration från ett exempel på en befintlig utbildning i USA, föreslår vi insatser som kan tillföras arkitekturutbildningen för att på så sätt stärka folkhälsoperspektivet i organiserandet och byggandet av den hållbara staden. Många av de faktorer som påverkar hälsa är sammanhängande och kan med arkitektens arbetssätt förstås integrerat och i sin kontext, och dessutom i ett framtidsperspektiv. Detta gör att arkitekturutbildningen generellt har ett förhållningssätt där folkhälsoaspekter på ett fruktbart sätt kan föras in i utbildningen.

Socio-ecological transitions of cities: Exploring spatial, ecological and governance dynamics in European cities
- 2013
-
In: 4rth International Conference on Sustainability Transitions, 19-21 June 2013, Zurich, Switzerland.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Europe is in general in a good position for examining dynamics and potential for realizing a positive transition to resilient and sustainable urban areas. Compared to most other continents, the living standards are good, the decision making processes are fairly open and transparent, and the level of knowledge including environmental knowledge is relatively high. We examine five compact cities to unravel what drives their social-ecological transition to resilient urban futures. A meta-analysis of spatial, ecological and governance dynamics reveals that in the face of slow urbanization the European compact cities under study undergo a transition towards eco-city that is the result of five co-evolving drivers: (a) the presence and implantation of strong environmental policy at local and regional level that promotes the preservation of existing green spaces; (b) the capitalizing of governance capacity for urban sustainability in the form of setting urban green plans and deals; (c) the restoration and re-establishment of green urban spaces of different sizes in the cities or simply, creating more green spaces (d) the put forth of green strategies and actions from multiple policy centers and (e) the emerging social niches of community gardens and urban agriculture that restore green in the cities and take over empty or unused spaces. These drivers do not play alone but are stressed with challenges of fair distribution of green in the city and of slow responding policy and governance.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Ecosystem services depend on spatial structure of ecosystems. It is acknowledged the benefits humans can derive from biophysical processes depend on generation, distribution and articulation of ecosystem services through day-to-day management and urban development patterns. On the other hand the benefits from nature may place constraints on the choices how to use the land. The future capability of ecosystems to generate services is determined by changes in socio-economic structures, land use, biodiversity, and climate. Land use change has been recognized among many aspects of global changes as the key human-induced effect on ecosystems. Increased urbanisation in Europe in the recent decades led to development of new settlements, growing transport networks. New aspirations of citizens have resulted in higher use of land for recreation and leisure. These land-use changes have directly influenced the provision of ecosystem services. However, even if much has been written about ecosystem services and theirs multiple relationships in space, impact of ecosystem services approach on urban planning, policy making is still limited. Growing degradation and declining resilience of ecosystems along with escalation of impacts of natural hazards is assigned to the non-integration of ecosystem services in land-use planning. A framework of this paper is constructed to identify what kind of knowledge is currently missing in relation to ecosystem services, as well as challenges linked to integrating ecosystem services into land-use planning. Answering the question requires knowledge about relationship between land-use change and ecosystem services in urban regions. The first part of the paper reviewed the literature on the connections between ecosystem services and land use planning. The second part of the paper analysed material from interviews and workshop organized in Stockholm. The important outcomes of the study include identified uncertainties revealing particular challenges and knowledge gaps indicated and ranked by stakeholders to implement concept of ecosystem services in spatial planning in Stockholm but also proposed recommendations how to deal with recognized uncertainties.

Bridging sanitation engineering and planning: theory and practice in Burkina Faso
- 2011

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The global challenge of providing sanitation services to the un-served underlines a need to change the way in which sanitation planning and service provision is approached. This paper offers a framework for categorizing sanitation projects planning processes based on planning steps and procedural planning theory to help engineers and sanitation planners gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of these processes. The analysis identifies and discusses trends in both guidelines and actual sanitation programs. The results show that contemporary sanitation planning guidelines and field projects utilize patchwork processes of different planning modes, although the step of designing options is dominated by an expert-driven, rational-comprehensive approach. The use of planning theory can help engineers to ask critical questions about the objectives of the planning process and to develop context-appropriate planning processes that will make a difference for improving sanitation service provision.

Participation in Sanitation Planning in Burkina Faso: Theory and Practice
- 2012
-
In: IWA Young Water Professionals Conference, 10-13 July 2012 Budapest, Hungary.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Stakeholder participation is commonly promoted as a means to boost outcomes of sanitation improvement projects, in particular in developing countries. However, there is little research on when or how this participation should occur during the process of planning and implementing a sanitation system in order to maximize the effect. This study develops a framework for analysing participation levels of different stakeholders throughout a planning process and applies it to sanitation planning guidelines and case studies from Burkina Faso. This analysis highlights that, particularly during designing of system options and selecting among these options, there exist potential weaknesses regarding who participates and how that participation may influence what type of sanitation is implemented.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The purpose of this study was to examine local perceptions of sustainability in the context of sanitation interventions in Burkina Faso and Mali, West Africa. A series of interviews with local actors were used to define criteria for sustainable sanitation in the local context. These local criteria were compared with criteria found in international literature and planning practices used in two sanitation projects. The results from the interview study emphasize criteria related to behaviour change processes, while criteria in literature are either oriented toward technical assessments or project guidelines. The case studies show an attempt to merge academic and pragmatic perspectives by addressing both the technical requirements and social change processes. As we seek to improve results within the sector it is important to start reflecting on what criteria and sustainability definitions are used in specific approaches.
