Open space management – quality and control
Anlagda utemiljöer är en viktig del i vår vardag. Risken finns att de förfaller om man inte tänker rätt från början. Den här kursen handlar om hur du som landskapsingenjör yrkesmässigt kan bidra till höga upplevelsevärden och uthålliga ekosystemtjänster. För att lyckas måste man utveckla sina färdigheter när det gäller kvalitetskontroll och uppföljning av planering, upphandling, projektering, bygg och anläggningsarbete, besiktning och drift. Det får du lära dig i den här kursen.
Via föreläsningar, litteraturstudier, övningar och praktiska exempel kommer du att fördjupa du dina insikter om byggprocessen, olika entreprenadformer och de juridiska villkor som gäller vid upphandling av konsulter och entreprenörer vid byggnation av markanläggningar.
Besiktning är en viktig del av den här kursen. Det betyder att du både fördjupar dina kunskaper och praktiska färdigheter i att besiktiga anlagda utemiljöprojekt, eller med andra ord: kontrollera att jobbet har gjorts korrekt.

Välkommen till kursen LK0393 Utemiljö – kvalitet och uppföljning.
Vi kommer ha flera obligatoriska studiebesök i kursen där vi bland andra fått möjligheten att besöka Malmö och Lund under guidning av bl.a. Jonatan Malmberg och Sofia Eskilsdotter som är specialicerade på urbana markväxtsystem. Studiebesöket kommer att göras tillsammans med kursen Urban ecology. Vi kommer även att göra lokala studieresor inom Uppsala/Stockholmsområdet. Resor till och från studiebesöken samt boende kommer du som student bekosta själv.
Om du är sjuk eller inte har möjlighet att delta på grund av kostnadsskäl så kommer vi att erbjuda alternativ för att examineras på dessa moment.
Information om studieresan till Malmö har skickats ut till anmälda studenter via mejl. Observera att vi har tyvärr behövt ändra starttiden för exkursionen till Malmö på grund av orsaker vi inte har kunnat styra över. Tiderna är som följer:
Start: kl 9.00 torsdagen den 27/4 vid Malmö station
Avslut: kl 13.00 fredagen den 28/4 vid Lunds station.
Om ni redan har köpt era biljetter och kommer senare till Malmö så ordnar vi att ni kan ansluta på plats.
Schemat ligger nu uppe och du kan hitta det på den här sidan.
Observera att datum kan ändras för icke obligatoriska moment.
Vi ses den 22 mars kl. 08.30 för kursintroduktion.

Sofia (kursansvarig) och Sara (kursadministratör) samt övriga lärare.

Knowledge equivalent to 90 credits in landscape architecture.Objectives
The purpose of the course is to provide the student with skills used by a landscape engineer to execute and follow-up outdoor-environment projects as well as knowledge on the most common quality requirements from planning and procurement to inspection and maintenance.
After completion of the course, the student will be able to:
Knowledge and understanding
explain the basics of construction law and how the most common agreements work to regulate liability during the construction process and the management phase;
explain different forms of contracting as well as the roles and relationships of different actors in these forms of contracting and how this is connected with quality assurance of outdoor-environment projects;
identify different ways to control the construction process and describe how they can lead to different results;
describe different types of inspections and the purpose for them;
Competence and skills
make a life cycle analysis of an outdoor-environment project;
perform continuous quality control and follow-up during ongoing construction work;
apply the basics of inspecting an outdoor environment project;
Judgement and approach
reflect on interests and priorities in the interaction between clients, designers, contractors, outdoor-environment managers and maintenance contractors;
suggest how the landscape engineer can contribute to high quality in outdoor-environment projects that are run under their own management, as well as various forms of contracting;
discuss how quality can be ensured at different stages of the management cycle.
Content
In this course, students will gain professional knowledge on techniques used by the landscape engineer to contribute to high value-experience and sustainable ecosystem services linked to outdoor-landscape environments. By alternating between theory and practice, students develop their ability to contribute to appropriate quality in outdoor-environment projects through quality control and follow-up in planning, procurement, design, construction, inspection and operation. The course contains compulsory elements.
The students will improve their knowledge on the construction process, different forms of contracting and the legal conditions that apply to the procurement of consultants and contractors in the construction of land facilities through lectures, literature studies and case studies. The students will equally develop their knowledge in construction law and the regulation of the construction process according to Swedish standard agreements that regulate construction processes from the planning to the execution stages. This also includes knowledge on how these regulations affect the quality of a project, as well as what common tools one has for controlling the quality of a construction project. The student is also given an introduction to the tools life cycle analyses and calculation of life cycle costs for project management.
Within the course, a case study of a construction project will be examined from a project manager and contract law perspective. Special focus is on the quality requirements set at different stages of the project.
Inspection is an important part of this course. This means that students deepen both their knowledge and their practical skills in inspecting various types of outdoor-environment projects. This is done through lectures and compulsory parts in the form of excursions and practical exercises.
Grading form
