| description | The purpose with this final thesis has been to study the aesthetics and design of roundabouts and to ascertain important factors that influence the experience of them. The investigation was carried out through literature-, field studies and interviews with persons that in different ways have participated in the formation of roundabouts. Furthermore, six roundabouts have been explored in more depth so that the survey would get a more practical link. These six roundabouts all occur in the rim of a city and do thereby have an important role as a gateway. The environments in such contexts are often complex which adds additional difficulty in achieving a visually appealing design, especially when taking into account the usually high traffic intensity. As part of the exploration process a schematic proposal for redesigning a roundabout in the outskirts of Malmo has been performed.
The study showed that the round shape is a strong element that is not uncomplicated to integrate into other built forms. Since the roundabout is a very transparent structure it is significant for the result that the design relates to the surrounding environment. The research has also revealed the importance of all components that constitute the roundabout being coordinated in order to achieve a uniform expression. Furthermore, using vegetation can successfully contribute to unite and improve fragmented traffic environments. |

Ändamålet med detta examensarbete har varit att studera cirkulationsplatsens estetik och gestaltning samt att klarlägga viktiga faktorer som påverkar upplevelsen av den. Utforskningen har skett genom litteratur- och fältstudier samt intervjuer med personer som på olika sätt har varit inblandade vid tillkomsten av enskilda cirkulationsplatser. Utöver detta har sex cirkulationsplatser studerats mer ingående för att undersökningen skulle få en mer praktisk förankring. Dessa sex ligger alla i stadens ytterområde och har därmed en viktig funktion som port till samhället. Då miljön i sådana sammanhang över lag är komplex är det en extra svår uppgift att åstadkomma en välfungerande design där, särskilt som trafikmängden vanligen är betydande. Som ett led i arbetet har ett schematiskt förslag till omgestaltning gjorts av en i nuläget visuellt mindre väl fungerande cirkulationsplats i utkanten av Malmö. Undersökningen visade att den runda formen är ett framträdande gestaltningselement som inte är helt okomplicerad att integrera med andra byggda former, men eftersom cirkulationsplatsen är en så pass transparent struktur är det ändå väsentligt att sträva efter en utformning som relaterar till omgivningen. Studien har även visat vikten av att cirkulationsplatsens alla beståndsdelar koordineras för att ge ett enhetligt uttryck, samt att vegetation kan användas för att ena fragmenterade trafikmiljöer. 2008-09-11 Other NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/12647/1/duner_f_171023.pdf Dunér, Fredrik, 2008.
