Short Introduction to the Area of Study

please give a short summary why you have chosen this area, its main features and context (circa 150 words)


The area chosen as a study site consists of an everyday landscape in the city quarters which bursts of the hustle and bustle of everyday movement. It is at the same time a social interaction zone highly filled with the human component of landscape and also present with the green side of urban development. The main reason which called my attention, besides the small district community layout within the urban fringe of Brendstrupskov's outskirts, was the new redesign of the square and surroundings, occurred in the past few weeks (and still ongoing - 15th of Nov. 2011).


Hasle Library and Civic Centre in Herredsvang


The main part of Herredsvang Kulturhus is dedicated to Hasle Bibliotek, which hosts a lot of uses for interested members or guests (lecture room, chess tables, playground for small children). Other features at the Culture House are: Café, Shop, [Textile and other types of] Workshop[s] and Computer Services. There have been various efforts: cultural events, projects, associative and courses and counseling. Classes of Zumba! or Aerobics for children were hosted free of charge from time to time.


Main activities

• activities and initiatives within the knowledge & learning for children and adults

• democratic citizenship and civic involvement

Greatest successes

• activities with children and adolescents: Skoleskak Tournament theater with Opgang2, "Pimp your hood"

• courses for adults: image carpet manufacturing, glass and drawing courses, IT training

Biggest Challenges

• structure of working in a very organic organization

• learn more (adult) users of the house

• increased visibility and knowledge about how to use and what happens in Kulturhus

About the Quarters: Hasle / Herredsvang in Århus N / Århus V


Hasle is a suburb of Århus in Denmark. It has a population of around 22,000 (as of 2007). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasle,_Aarhus)

A smaller part of it - or next to it referring on other sources - consists of Herredsvang district, upper North in Århus, yet on most of maps belonging to Århus West (although it's the further Eastern part of it).

There are around 5000 inhabitants in Herredsvang where 50% are from another country than Denmark. The area is consisting of mainly apartments, but also houses.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aarhus_V)

Either if immigrants or simply born by immigrant parents, this mixed social component lives in Herredsvang landscape in rented concrete public housing appartments, built by different Housing Associations, such as Statsbo, which, for example, comprises 257 homes in 6 blocks of 4 and 5 storeys, built in 1980-81 and youth residences built in 06/2007. The facades were renovated in 06/2007. All apartments have balconies, most west-facing and the other facing south. The blocks form courtyards, which are green areas with playgrounds. The department found a nursery and kindergarten. The location is near Herredsvej and Hasle Ringvej in Århus V. (http://www.statsbo.dk/index.php?id=afdeling9)

Even if the quarter bursts with community movement, being far from city center and quite close to nature (present in surroundings, as the open Golf field towards East and the Brendstrup Forest next to it) reinsures itself with peace and tranquility, seeming very still at times (at least for me as an outsider), although it might cross vicinity with acknowledged ghetto areas in Århus, where the crime and unemployment rate are presented high compared to the other parts.
