Målet med kursen är att skapa kompetens för att förstå, undersöka och utveckla hälsofrämjande miljöer i relation till olika brukargruppers behov, liksom till människors generella behov.
Efter avslutad kurs ska studenten kunna:
• Beskriva och diskutera utomhusmiljöer som en potentiellt hälsofrämjande resurs för olika brukargrupper, liksom för människor i allmänhet.
• Undersöka och analysera privata och offentliga platser i relation till specifika behov hos olika brukargrupper, liksom till människors generella behov
• Ställa evidensbaserad forskning och evidensbaserad design i relation till utvecklingen av hälsofrämjande miljöer
• Beskriva och diskutera deltagande forskningsmetodik i samband med utvecklingen av hälsofrämjande miljöer
• Utforma program (dvs. behovsförklaringar) för utveckling av hälsofrämjande miljöer
• Presentera ovan beskriven kunskap skriftligt, muntligt och visuellt
Innehåll
Kursen genomförs i tre delar. I del ett – litteraturgenomgång – identifierar studenten relevanta aspekter av hälsofrämjande miljöer för olika brukargrupper och för människor generellt och ställer samman användbar litteratur. Detta rapporteras i en skriftlig litteraturgenomgång. I del två identifieras, utvecklas och testas olika sätt att undersöka och analysera utomhusmiljöer i förhållande till olika brukargruppers specifika behov och människors generella behov. Redovisningen av del två sker dels muntligen i seminarier, dels skriftligen i form av rapporter. I del tre utvecklas och jämförs olika strategier för att utforma program för hälsofrämjande miljöer. Denna del redovisas också muntligt i seminarier och som skriftliga rapporter. Kursen består av föreläsningar, övningar och övningsuppgifter (obligatoriska), seminarier (obligatoriska) och studiebesök (obligatoriska).
I kursen kombineras obligatoriska onlineträffar med arbete självständigt och i grupp.

Litteraturlista
The course literature is divided in three parts:
- Basic literature for selective reading to get an orientation of theories, research and methods in the field and to start looking for a project.
- Literature describing models and tools for conducting landscape analyses in people environment studies. This literature includes references from the course LK0239/MP0002 Landscape analysis in people environment studies.
- *Project specific literature, *i.e. intensive reading of literature originating from specific searches conducted by the students, with optional guidance from the library staff: https://www.slu.se/en/subweb/library/services-and-courses/personal-help/book-a-librarian/
Most articles and book chapters are available in e-journals or e-books at SLU Library and others are available in Canvas. Note that all files provided are for personal use only, due to copyright restrictions. A few of the books are not provided as electronic resources but are available at SLU Library.
Access to online resources at the SLU Library
Many of the databases, e-journals and other online resources at the SLU Library are restricted by license agreements and can only be used within the university. VPN (Virtual private network) is a service that allows you to log in to the university's network from anywhere in the world and get access to the restricted resources. Everyone who is a student or employee at SLU can use the VPN function for making a safe connection between a computer outside SLU and the SLU network. To make it work you must have a user account in the Active Directory at SLU. Information on how to start using VPN is available on the following page: https://internt.slu.se/en/support-services/administrative-support/it/support/guider-manualer/vpn-anyconnect/ Information on how to activate your SLU user account is available here: https://student.slu.se/en/study-support/it-support/support/new-student---start/
Basic literature
The basic literature is intended for selective reading to get an orientation of theories, research and methods in the field and to start looking for a project.
