| description | This master thesis is a study of how city cemeteries can be used and contributes to a socially sustainable urban development. Today sustainable development and sustainable urban development is something that more or less every organization is working with. Therefore it is also relevant to integrate our cemeteries in this work so that they can become a part of the sustainable urban development process.
The thesis gives a basic understanding of sustainability as a concept and also defines socially sustainable (urban) development. The work then immerse itself in various types of park structures and how the relationship between the human individual and the public space work, to satisfy the needs that different people have.
The literature study that has been made is also the base for the design of the walking interview that has been made for the two city cemeteries. The cemeteries that where studied where the Assistens cemetery in Copenhagen and the Eastern cemetery in Gothenburg. For these cemeteries a connoisseur was used for the walking interviews. This has shown how urban cemeteries, at a size of about 20 hectares, can be used in different ways by people from the city. Although the two cemeteries that have been studied differ, there are similarities in the characteristics, in both of them. For example, the two cemeteries both function as a transport route in the city. And there are also similarities in functions and characteristics that can be found in Berggren-Bärring's & Graham's park characters.
The message that the paper will add to the discussion of city cemeteries and de development of sustainable urban development is the importance of integrating and understanding the need of the people who live in the city. This can be done not only by communication between those that visit graves at the cemeteries and the cemetery managers, but also between urban planners and residents of the city in general. |

Det här självständiga arbetet är en studie kring vad stadskyrkogårdar kan bidra till och hur de kan användas i våra städer för att en socialt hållbar stadsutveckling ska råda. Då hållbar utveckling och hållbar stadsutveckling är något som mer eller mindre alla organisationer arbetar med idag, det är därmed också aktuellt att integrera våra kyrkogårdar i detta för att de ska bli en del i den hållbara stadsutveckling som utformas. Arbetet ger en grundläggande förståelse för hållbarhet som begrepp och vad socialt hållbar stadsutveckling innebär. Detta för att senare kunna fördjupa sig i hur olika typer av parkstrukturer och förhållandet mellan dessa och individen spelar roll för hur det används för att tillfredställa var individs behov. Litteraturstudien ligger till grund för utformningen av de undersökningar som gjorts av de två stadskyrkogårdar som studerats. I undersökningarna har Assistens kyrkogården i Köpenhamn och Östra kyrkogården i Göteborg studerats genom intervjuer och gåturer med en konnässör för respektive kyrkogård. Detta har visat på hur stadskyrkogårdar, på en storlek av ungefär 20 hektar, kan nyttjas av människor i städer genom att se de huvudsakliga funktionerna hos stadskyrkogårdarna. Trots att de två kyrkogårdarna som studerats skiljer sig åt, går det att se likheter i deras egenskaper. Exempelvis har de båda funktionen som kommunikationsled i staden och båda har även egenskaper som hittas i Berggren-Bärring´s & Grahn´s (1995) parkaraktärer. Det budskap som uppsatsen vill tillföra till diskussion, kring kyrkogårdar och utvecklingen av hållbar stadsutveckling, är vikten av integrerande och samförstånd i vilka behov som de människor som lever i staden har. Detta genom att en planering och kommunikation inte bara bör ske mellan de som besöker sina gravar och kyrkogårdsförvaltare, utan också mellan stadsplanerare och invånare i staden generellt. 2011-09-22 Second cycle, A2E NonPeerReviewed application/pdf swe https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/3271/1/josefsson_j_110928.pdf Josefsson, Joakim, 2011.
