Vad skapar boendekvalitet? : Analys av småhusområden

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this thesis has been to signify what creates quality for the dwellers. By creating a definition of the term we have showed how well the quality criteria’s has been fulfilled in the newly built one family house area Pumpkällehagen in Viskafors. The questions the thesis gives answers to is: What is quality for the dwellers in housebuilding of today? and How well have these quality aspects been carried out in tract housing areas? These questions have taken us to our main goal: To describe what quality for the dwellers is and how well it has been carried out in a certain area. The literature review is describing what was published before the making of this thesis. From four different publications within the concept of quality an analysis template has been enacted. This template has been used for our case study, but is also supposed to work in future analysis of tract housing areas. Interviews was carried out with the areas architects; Ola Nylander and Mattias Karlsson, as well as the client; Mikael Bengtsson. From these we have gathered their point of view on the background of the area, as well as their view on the term quality for the dwellers. Our work has brought us to enact nine different quality aspects, which we consider creates quality for the dwellers: • The Non-measurable properties • The rooms relative connections • Sufficient and user-friendly property complements • The property complements connection to the apartment • Location of the apartment and connections to the environment • Opportunities of outdoor activities • Orientation and transportation within the area • The social unity • The cost of the apartment and its form of tenure From the case study, using the analysis template, we can state that Pumpkällehagen is a very successfully built area where most of our assessment criteria’s and quality aspects have been fulfilled. That makes the quality for the dwellers as a total very high. We reach the conclusion that quality for the dwellers is what make you feel comfortable in your home, and therefore makes you stay.
