Abstract
Specialet undersøger, hvorfor bofællesskaber er bredt accepteret i Danmark, mens gated communities møder modstand. Bofællesskaber er boligfællesskaber, hvor beboere deler faciliteter og fællesskab, mens gated communities er boligområder afgrænset af hegn, mure eller porte. Undersøgelsen anvender dokumentanalyse, interviews og observationer og sammenligner ligheder og forskelle med udgangspunkt i begreberne fællesskab, tryghed (oplevelsen af sikkerhed), fysiske og symbolske barrierer samt fysisk planlægning. Begreberne bruges også til at vurdere, hvilken betydning de to boformer kan have for samfundet, herunder om de kan medvirke til øget social segregation. Resultaterne peger på, at begge fænomener er vanskelige at afgrænse klart, hvilket gør entydige konklusioner svære. Alligevel tyder analysen på, at bofællesskaber kan have nogle af de samme negative konsekvenser som gated communities, fordi de kan fremstå ekskluderende over for omverdenen og dermed bidrage til social segregation. Desuden ser de synlige, fysiske barrierer i gated communities ud til at have betydning for, at fænomenet møder modstand og derfor har sværere ved at blive accepteret i Danmark.
This thesis examines why cohousing is widely accepted in Denmark while gated communities face resistance. Cohousing refers to residential communities where residents share facilities and social life, whereas gated communities are housing areas enclosed by fences, walls, or gates. The study uses document analysis, interviews, and observations, and compares similarities and differences through the concepts of community, a sense of safety, physical and symbolic barriers, and physical planning. These concepts are also used to assess the societal effects of the two housing forms, including whether they may contribute to increased social segregation. The results indicate that both phenomena are hard to define clearly, which makes firm conclusions difficult. Even so, the analysis suggests that cohousing can share some negative consequences with gated communities, as it can appear exclusionary to the wider society and thereby contribute to social segregation. In addition, the visible physical barriers that characterize gated communities seem to play a role in the resistance they meet and thus in their lower acceptance in Denmark.
