Förslag som förändrar bilden av Rosengård i Malmö : - Att skapa en lockande attraktiv miljö i en segregerad stadsdel

Sammanfattning: Abstract This thesis examines segregation and stigmatization in Rosengård, Malmö, and proposes adesign concept to change the area's image. Previous studies have shown disparities in living conditions and linked Malmö's housing segregation to socio-economic and ethnic factors.The city of Malmö is working to reduce segregation by combating prejudices and creatingattractive environments. This thesis explores the segregated and stigmatized exclusion in Rosengård and presents a design proposal to create an appealing and inviting neighborhood. The proposal includes four existing parks in Malmö Rosengård—Vänskapsparken, Rosengårdsfältet, Skulpturparken, and Vattenlekplatsen—integrated into a larger park and anattractive art museum. By utilizing theories and conducting interviews with the urban plannerand residents who have different relationships with Rosengård, this proposal aims to create an appealing and cohesive space. The method that has been used is based on a case study that uses inspired ethnographicmaterial, such as observations and interviews on site in the area. In addition, to complete thestudy, an analysis of people's movement patterns and gathering points was conducted. Also apark mapping, photographic mapping of the parks, questionnaire surveys at various locations,a Lynch analysis and use of the "research by design" method were carried out. Literaturestudies and articles were also used to build up the survey and the design proposal. The theoretical framework employed in the study supports the research. It draws on variousauthors, including Per-Markku Ristilammi (1999), Mikael Stigendal (1999), Tapio Salonen,Martin Grander, and Markus Rasmusson (2019), Lena Magnusson (2001), Susanne Urban(2018), and Anna Lisa Lindén (1989). Additionally, Rosengren & Striner's work (2011) shedslight on Rosengård and its historical background, taking a more positive standpoint. To shedlight on whether current efforts and integration measures were based on Malmö municipality(2019, 2021) and the City Planning Office (2014, 2019), were used. The results of the study indicated a need for attractive and inclusive outdoor environments in Rosengård. The findings emphasized the importance of green spaces, art and culturalactivities, as well as meeting places for social interaction and integration. Safety and reducedsegregation are also crucial for creating a more harmonious and inclusive neighborhood. These results provide valuable insights and serve as guidance to design an effective design strategy and implement measures that will enhance the attractiveness of Rosengård and fosteran integrated community. In conclusion, transforming the built environment in Rosengård has the potential to promotestronger integration with the surrounding city. Stigmatization and negative perceptions arecommon issues in the area that can lead to segregation and isolation. The study compiles anddeepens the knowledge about the area by building upon previous research. It also offersproposals for solutions to promote integration, reduce segregation, and combat stigmatization.
