description The environment that surrounds us affects us all. Research has shown that we feel physically and emotionally best in natural environments with greenery or water elements. Urban environments are likely to be more stressing then natural environments. How we experience specific elements, as water, of an environment is not as much investigated. There is a need of further knowledge for us to fully understand the interplay between our senses and the environment. Human beings have always been depending on water and the search for it has characterized our deeds and doings through out evolution. This fact has probably played a role in forming the fascination we feel for the ocean. But how do we really experience the ocean? Peoples experiences of specific elements are valuable knowledge when designing environments. This work investigates the experiences of the ocean made by ten persons. The study is based on questionnaires and interwievs carried through in two contrasting urban environments characterized by the ocean. The study indicates that water in different forms has an important impact on peoples experiences of environments and increases feelings of well-being in several ways. The different chararacteristics of the ocean stimulates us, brings out memories and generates positive emotios. In the presence of water a great majority of the interwieved people describes their emotion with the adjectives alert, open, calm and happy.

Forskning har visat att människan ofta föredrar naturmiljöer med inslag av grönska och vatten. Urbana miljöer har visat sig vara stressade i större utsträckning än naturlika miljöer. Hur vi upplever specifika element, som t.ex. vatten, i miljön är dock inte närmare utrett. Detta behöver undersökas för att vi på allvar skall förstå samspelet mellan våra sinnen och vår omgivning. Människan har i alla tider varit beroende av vatten och sökandet efter vatten har präglat vår tillvaro under evolutionen. Detta har säkert hjälpt till att forma den fascination vi idag känner för havet. Men hur upplever vi egentligen havet? Människors upplevelser av specifika element i omgivningen ovärderlig kunskap vid design av miljöer. I detta arbete studeras tio personers upplevelser av havet. Studien bygger på enkäter och intervjuer som har genomförst i två kontrasterande urbana miljöer präglade av havet. Studien indikerar att vatten i olka form har stor inverkan på människors upplevelse av fysisk miljö och ökar människors känsla av välbefinnande på flera olika sett. Havets olika egenskaper stimulerar oss, väcker minnen och frambringar en rad positiva känslor. I närhet till havet beskriver en övervägande majoritet av intervjupersonerna sin känsla med adjektiven pigg, öppen, lugn och glad. 2009-10-01 Other NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/12718/1/johansson_an_171019.pdf Johansson, Anna, 2009.
