Att utnyttja det stationsnära läget för attraktivare kollektivtrafik och tätort : En fallstudie av Skillingaryds stationsområde

Sammanfattning: Purpose: The aim with this paper is to see how a city can be developed using a theory for nearby station location, which is a theory for urban planning, originally from Copenhagen, to create a more attractive city and public transport system in the village Skillingaryd, 40 kilometers south of Jönköping in Småland. To obtain the aim of the paper has the asked questions contained which factors from this theory that is relevant for smaller villages, which problems and possibilities are found in Skillingaryd if you want to increase the attractiveness of the village through urban planning, and also how this theory can be applied to contribute a positive urban development in Skillingaryd in conjunction with electrification of the railway. Method: This paper is based on a case study of the village Skillingaryd, where the basis for the case study consists of literature studies and document analysis of the nearby station location theory, plan indicators for efficient land use in stationary areas, TOD, and two studies from Dalarna and Skåne. Factors found in the literature studies and document analysis have then provided the basis for a GIS analysis of Skillingaryd. Findings: All factors from the nearby station location theory have been considered relevant for smaller villages, such as distance limits, density of housing, road accessibility, station integration, etc., except for the density of workplaces nearby the station. This is when most of the jobs in Skillingaryd are found outside the nearby station area. An analysis based on these factors can clearly identify areas with potential for development. Implications: The stationary principle in itself did not feel sufficient to carry out the analysis, and therefore plan indicators and previous studies have been the basis for this. This hasn’t affect the work's reliability since the question is asked “How can the nearby station location theory be applied…” which means that it can be applied along with other theories and factors. Limitations: Due to the time frame for the paper thus the case study only include one village, Skillingaryd in Vaggeryds municipality. The work is done only from the perspective of urban planning and has not focused on the economic aspects. In a deeper analysis, it would of course be interesting to look at the economic aspects as well as the ability to count on possible effects of implementation.
