Segregation & Territorial Stigma Bachelor thesis Segregation & territorial stigma - A case study of Botkyrka municipality, Stockholm Author: Tobias Persson Supervisor: Chris High Examiner: Manuela Nilsson Term: HT20 Subject: Peace & Development Level: Bachelor Course code: 2FU33E Abstract Segregation is increasing in Sweden, and the political discourse about violence in Swedish suburbs have intensified dramatically throughout the last years. Segregated areas are often described as dangerous areas with a lot of insecurities. In this paper, I´m going to present a case study of Botkyrka municipality which is in south Stockholm. The purpose of this study is to see if media and political discourse is stigmatising Botkyrka or not. By interviewing people living in Botkyrka, I get their perspective of living in Botkyrka municipality. This case study can be an exemplifying a case study of suburbs in Stockholm as the discourse can be similar to other suburbs in Stockholm. This case study is following an abductive qualitative approach using theories as neighbourhood-effect, segregation and territorial stigma to answer the research questions “Does the image of Botkyrka municipality presented by political actors and media create territorial stigmatization of Botkyrka municipality?” and “What are Botkyrka municipality as organization doing to decrease segregation, and what are their biggest challenges in their work?” Interviews are conducted both randomly in chosen areas and in-depth interviews with chosen respondents. Findings from this case study show that certain areas of Botkyrka is stigmatized, that citizens in Botkyrka refer to some areas as dangerous, which is also presented in political discourse and media, as events taking place in these areas are referred to Botkyrka, it creates territorial stigma of Botkyrka municipality. As some neighborhoods in Botkyrka is affected more negatively by school segregation, youth in these areas face higher risk of getting excluded from the society and fall into a destructive way of living, as influences among youth living in low-economic neighbourhoods are strong predictors of negative behaviours, such as drug abuse, crime and participation in the job market. Territorial stigma and the neighbourhood-effect becomes obstacles in the work of decreasing segregation, further, inequality is an obstacle in the work of decreasing segregation. The unequal access to different key resources as housing, education and jobs are great challenges in process of decreasing segregation.

At the moment of writing, the strategy, targeted towards both the majority and the minority populations, is on the verge of becoming implemented within all the municipal administrations and the whole municipal system of governance, so it is still to tell how much it will influence and change the current situation in the municipality. Population and demographics Botkyrka is a municipality with many faces. We are the most diverse municipality in Sweden. Between 2010 and 2012 the proportion of inhabitants with a foreign background increased to 55 % overall, and to 65 % among all children and youngsters (aged 0–18 years) in the municipality.2 55 % have origin in some other country (one self or two parents born abroad) and Botkyrka is the third youngest population among all Swedish municipalities.3 Botkyrka has always been a traditionally working-class lower middle-class municipality, but the inflow of inhabitants from different parts of the world during half a decade, makes this fact a little more complex.

Doctoral Thesis in Planning and Decision Analysis with Specialisation in Environmental Strategic Analysis KTH Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, Sweden 2021 © Tina Ringenson © Mattias Höjer, Anna Kramers, Anna Viggedal, Peter Arnfalk, Liridona Sopjani, Martin Sjöman Cover page photo: Tina Ringenson ISBN: 978-91-7873-737-6 TRITA-ABE-DLT-2044 Printed by: Universitetsservice US-AB, Sweden 2020 Abstract Human development is currently leading to destruction of the stability of the earth system upon which we depend for our survival. In other words, it is unsustainable. At the same time, urbanisation and digitalisation are progressing at a rapid pace. Digital technologies have a potential to decrease environmental impact from cities and urban lifestyles. Transport and mobility is an important part of urban life, and it has been suggested that digital technology can improve urban transport performance in both accessibility and sustainability. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is a relatively new concept for provision of mobility services through a digital platform, sometimes together with digital accessibility services that lower the need to travel (Accessibility as a Service – AaaS). It has been suggested that MaaS could offer a real alternative to the privately owned car and lead to more sustainable mobility.

  • Slutrapport Botkyrka
    Invandrarnas kulturarv i Botkyrka: En inventering av föreningsarkiv. 1 Förord I november 2003 påbörjade Föreningsarkiven i Stockholms län (FSL) en inventering av invandrarföreningar i Botkyrka kommun och deras arkiv. Ekonomiska medel för genomförandet av ett fyramånaders projekt erhölls från Riksarkivets nämnd för enskilda arkiv och Botkyrka kommun. Arkivarie Magnus Lundberg anställdes på deltid för att genomföra projektet, som avslutades i maj 2004. Arkivprojektet i Botkyrka har genomförts i nära samarbete med arkivkonsulent Kerstin Söderman vid FSL och Botkyrkas kommunarkivarie Kristina Karlsson. De tre lokala föreningsråden i Alby, Fittja och Hallunda-Norsborg har också varit viktiga samarbetspartners. Stockholm i augusti 2004, Magnus Lundberg Arkivarie, Föreningsarkiven i Stockholms län. 2 Bakgrund Efterkrigstidens invandring Från 1940-talet till början av 1970-talet dominerades immigrationen till Sverige av arbetskraftsinvandring. Efterkrigstidens ökade efterfrågan på svenska industriprodukter hade lett till en akut brist på arbetskraft och svenska företag började aktivt rekrytera arbetskraft utomlands för att täcka behoven. Först inriktade sig företagen sig på länder som Finland, Ungern, Österrike och Italien. Men under andra halvan av 1960-talet gjordes liknande värvningsförsök också i Jugoslavien och Turkiet. Även om arbetskraftsinvandringen dominerade anlände också betydande flyktinggrupper under efterkrigstiden. Direkt efter krigsslutet anlände grupper av överlevare från nazisternas utrotningsländer och senare kom större flyktinggrupper från Öst- och Sydeuropa. Till följd av den internationella lågkonjunkturen i början av 1970-talet upphörde arbetskraftsinvandringen nästan helt och 1972 stoppades den aktiva rekryteringen av utländsk arbetskraft. Den nordiska, i synnerhet finländska, arbetskraftsinvandringen fortsatte dock som tidigare. Under senare delen av sjuttiotalet kom istället flyktinginvandringen att stå för en allt större del av immigrationen till Sverige, och andelen utomeuropeiska immigranter ökade markant.

  • National Analytical Study on Housing
    National Analytical Study on Housing RAXEN Focal Point for Sweden Expo Foundation Cecilia Englund October 2003 1 DISCLAIMER: This study has been compiled by the National Focal Point of the Racism and Xenophobia Network operated by the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC). The opinions expressed by the author/s do not necessarily reflect the opinion or position of the EUMC. No mention of any authority, organisation, company or individual shall imply any approval as to their standing and capability on the part of the EUMC. This study is provided by the National Focal Point as information guide only, and in particular does not constitute legal advice. 2 Executive summary Sweden has as many other European countries segregated areas. This is evident from where and how people live. Segregation has both an ethnic/racialised and a socioeconomic dimension. The most disadvantaged groups regarding housing segregation are immigrants, in particular people with African and West Asian (i.e. the Middle East) background. They are also generally the most disadvantaged groups in Swedish society as a whole, as their precarious situation in the labour market clearly shows. The main objective of this report is twofold: to look at the existing housing segregation in Sweden of today, and an effort to show the development in a historical perspective, as well as giving a future perspective. Segregation in housing is a complex matter. Many factors are correlated, a fact that is very noticeable in everyday life. The ethnic and socioeconomic housing segregation is most visible in the Metropolitan regions of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö.

    Masking Moments The Transitions of Bodies and Beings in Late Iron Age Scandinavia Ing-Marie Back Danielsson Masking Moments The Transitions of Bodies and Beings in Late Iron Age Scandinavia Ing-Marie Back Danielsson Stockholm University Doctoral dissertation 2007 Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies Stockholm University 106 91 STOCKHOLM MASKING MOMENTS The Transitions of Bodies and Beings in Late Iron Age Scandinavia Ing-Marie Back Danielsson BA in Archaeology and BSc in Economics and Business Administration Maskerade ögonblick. Förvandlingar av kroppar och väsen i skandinavisk yngre järnålder. (Med en svensk sammanfattning). Abstract This thesis explores bodily representations in Late Iron Age Scandinavia (400–1050 AD). Non-human bodies, such as gold foil figures, and human bodies are analysed. The work starts with an examination and deconstruction of the sex/gender catego- ries to the effect that they are considered to be of minor value for the purposes of the thesis. Three analytical concepts – masks, miniature, and metaphor – are de- ployed in order to interpret how and why the chosen bodies worked within their prehistoric contexts. The manipulations the figures sometimes have undergone are referred to as mask- ing practices, discussed in Part One. It is shown that masks work and are powerful by being paradoxical; that they are vehicles for communication; and that they are, in effect, transitional objects bridging gaps that arise in continuity as a result of events such as symbolic or actual deaths. In Part Two miniaturization is discussed. Miniaturization contributes to making worlds intelligible, negotiable and communicative. Bodies in miniatures in compari- son to other miniature objects are particularly potent.

  • Localisations of Logistics Centres in Greater Stockholm
    Department of Real Estate and Construction Management Thesis no. 182 Real Estate Economics and Financial Services Master of Science, 30 credits Real Estate Economics MSs Localisations of Logistics Centres in Greater Stockholm Author: Supervisor: Gunnar Larsson Stockholm 2012 Hans Lind Master of Science thesis Title: Localisations of Logistics Centres in Greater Stockholm Author: Gunnar Larsson Department Department of Real Estate and Construction Management Master Thesis number 182 Supervisor Hans Lind Keywords Logistics, Stockholm, location, localisation factors, warehouse, terminal, logistics centres, logistics parks, future, scenario. Abstract This study examines how and on what basis logistics centres are located in Greater Stockholm. Its purpose is to formulate a possible future scenario regarding localisations of logistics centres in Greater Stockholm in 10-15 years. Goods transports, distribution, property characteristics, market trends, investment decisions, localisation factors, potential challenges, public plans, transport infrastructure and logistics locations have been investigated in order to form a conclusion. There is a wide range of previous research on most fields mentioned above. Yet there is a gap regarding a picture of them from a market perspective applied to Stockholm’s future. The research method is qualitative, involving 31 interviews (34 respondents) representing logistics companies, goods holders, property developers, investors, consultants and municipalities; as they are making the decisions of tomorrow, i.e. “choose” the locations. The qualitative approach has been complemented with descriptions of infrastructure, regional plans and reports in order to consolidate and complement facts and opinions from the interviews. Together they provide the basis for a final analysis and discussion followed by a possible future scenario of Greater Stockholm’s major logistics locations.
