| description | The Swedish forestry aims primarily maximize production and economical wins. However, especially urban forests have great qualities as space for recreation and children's play, which means that other goals should lead the forests management. The Teleborg forest is a wooded area in Växjö, surrounded by urban dwellings, schools, nurseries etc. A great part of the forest was wind felled during the storm Gudrun in 2005 which changed the forest, earlier dominated by spruce, dramatically. Now there is great need for regeneration and opportunities for new ideas and change. The main objective of this thesis has been to make a plan for the forests development into a neighbourwood, for recreation, play and education with great values of experiences. As a part of my work I wanted to interact with the visitors and neighbours to understand their experiences of the forest, their wishes and needs. Together with them, during meetings and walks, I have tried to get to know the forest through their view and take part of their local knowledge. I have searched for answers on questions that tell about the relationship between the visitors and the forest; which is the favourite walk, the short cut to school, where are the best climbing trees, where are the favourite places of the small children and so on. Also the meetings with the managers to get their view of the forest have been an important part. In parallel I have studied literature about visual preferences and construction, form, design and management of the urban forests. Out of the conversations, meetings, literature studies and analysis the work has led to a proposal for developing the Teleborg forest. |

Stora delar av den svenska skogen sköts med huvudmålet att ge en så god produktion och ekonomisk vinst som möjligt. Framförallt tätortsnära skog har emellertid ofta stora kvaliteter som miljö för lek och rekreation vilket gör att skogens förvaltning bör styras av andra mål. Teleborgsskogen är ett skogsområde mitt inne i Växjö stad, omgivet av bostadsområden, skolor, förskolor m.m. En stor del av skogen blåste ner i stormen Gudrun 2005 vilket förändrade den tidigare granskogen dramatiskt. Nu krävs insatser för föryngring och det har öppnat upp för nya tankar och möjligheter till förändring. Min uppgift, genom det här examensarbetet, har varit att ge ett förslag till hur skogen kan utvecklas till en skog för rekreation, lek och lärande med höga upplevelsevärden. Som ett led i arbetet har jag velat få med skogsbesökarnas och de närboendes upplevelser av skogen och deras önskemål och behov. I dialog med dem, under möten och skogspromenader, har jag velat lära känna skogen utifrån deras perspektiv och ta del av deras lokala kunskap. Jag har sökt svar på frågor som berättar om relationen mellan besökarna och skogen; vilket är favoritskogspromenaden, genvägen till skolan, var står klätterträden och vilka är förskolebarnens favoritplatser etc. En betydelsefull del av arbetet har också träffarna med skogens förvaltare varit, för att också få deras syn på skogen. Parallellt har jag studerat litteratur om visuella preferenser och den tätortsnära skogens uppbyggnad, utformning och förvaltning. Utifrån samtal och möten, litteraturstudier och analys har arbetet lett fram till ett förslag till utveckling för Teleborgsskogen. Ett förslag som kretsar kring upplevelser och variation, med plats för såväl lek, äventyr och lärande som träning, avkoppling och skogskänsla, och vars kärna är ett landskapsarboretum i Linnés anda. 2007-05-28 Other NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/12465/1/johansson_m_171027.pdf Johansson, Maria E., 2007.
